Introduction:

The story is set at the beginning of this century, and describes an orphan with piano talent who has experienced all kinds of hardships: music, love and two wars, but he never gave up the place where he grew up. A soul-stirring poetic journey movie.

On the first day of 19, Danny Boodman, a worker in charge of adding coal to the cruise ship Virginian, was trying to pick up the things left by the rich in the first class, but he accidentally found an abandoned newborn on the piano, packed in an empty carton of TD brand lemons. Convinced that "TD" stands for Thanks Danny, Danny raised the baby independently despite the ridicule of other workers, and named him 19 to commemorate this special day.

19, born at sea, never existed on land. He had no relatives, no household registration and no nationality. The sea was his cradle, and he gradually grew up with Virginian berthing at various docks. However, the good times didn't last long. An accident at sea caused Danny, who raised 19, to die unexpectedly. Fortunately, miraculously, all the people on the ship were awakened by the beautiful piano sound one night, and they followed it. Actually, the self-taught 19 played selflessly in front of the piano, and the moving melody touched everyone. Since then, 19 has started a piano playing journey at sea, which attracted more and more tourists.

Max will come down to Virginian to join the band, so he saw the legendary legend of 19-19, and they became friends. In 19, after competing with the legendary pianist Jelly who invented jazz, the momentum was even stronger. But although Max repeatedly encouraged 19 to get off the boat and show his talent to the whole world, 19 never set foot on land. Until he was recording a solo album for a record company, he accidentally met a beautiful and moving girl outside the cabin, and after being moved, he created "19's Theme" (that is, an unknown song mentioned by Max and the owner of the music store). With the girl leaving the boat, 19' s heart began to fluctuate. Will 19 leave her life on the boat for more than 3 years in order to find a girl?

This is a poetic journey movie, and the ubiquitous piano sound takes the audience into the heart of 19. The film adopts the most extreme romantic style, causing a bipolar reaction: some people regard it as a masterpiece, while many people in the West regard it as "the best-looking bad film". The shortcoming of the film lies in the characterization. The protagonist is too mysterious to penetrate his inner world, so it is difficult to really sympathize with him. If we can get rid of the stage of cynicism, the film has a romantic magic that touches people's hearts.

The soundtrack of the film was written by the master ennio morricone, who once again captured the hearts of the audience and fans with his affectionate and elegant style. Legend of 19 is regarded as one of the most memorable soundtracks in 1999, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Film Score.
