Dreaming with the movie: Fog on the Dead Day (6-6)
[ Introduction to the movie] < p 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?
The whole film interweaves with Max's recollection of 19 and Max's pursuit of the whereabouts of 19 in reality, which closely affects the hearts of the audience. When Max learned from the owner of the music store that Virginian was about to be dismantled, the story reached its climax.
Max, who had never heard of 19 since he left Virginian before the war, firmly believed that 19 must still be on board. He tried to delay the dismantling of the ship and came to this ruined ship to find the last trace of 19. Will 19 still be on the boat? Or, as Max expected, he has found a place, married a wife, gave birth to a child, and mentioned Max as a good friend with them after dinner ...
Apart from the twists and turns, several wonderful scenes are even more impressive, including when Max first met in 19, when they loosened the fixed bolt of the piano during the stormy sea, they sat in front of the piano and swung with the boat, sliding around the hall while playing the piano. In the face of the fierce challenge from the arrogant Jelly, how did 19 show his extraordinary piano talent and make the participants turn from contempt to shock? And the unknown girl, like a comet, exudes dazzling light but quickly leaves, making 19' s faint sadness and sentimental memories more and more vivid in the yellowish images filled in the film. As for immigrants who came to the new world by boat with dreams, they exclaimed "America!" when they saw the Statue of Liberty. The joy of 19, but also with the loneliness of 19 looking at the indifference of tourists up and down ... < P > The role of 19, because of the lonely and lonely experience, enables it to see through people's hearts more keenly, and to play and create touching music. However, facing the ocean and the piano all his life, everything on land has too much uncertainty for him, which has kept him from moving forward on land. As he said, "I can't see the end of the land", perhaps for 19, the sea and sky were the same scenery and the horizon could be seen, and cruise ships to and from many places sometimes docked at the port. The 88 keys were limited, so he could create infinite music according to them, but the endless big cities on the land were beyond his sight and grasp.
The director of this film is Giuseppe Tonatore, who won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for Cinema Paradiso before 199. Just like the feeling of Paradise Cinema, Tonatore, with his good narrative technique, makes the audience easily integrate into the plot with the interweaving of memories and reality, and almost doubts whether the film is adapted from real people.
In this film, Tonatore also collaborates with Ennio Morricone, a master of music. (The famous film soundtrack works in Moriquand include: Paradise Cinema, Passion in the Four Seas, Hamlet, Unselfish, etc.) Just like all films named "pianist", the soundtrack must play a decisive role in the film, so the original soundtrack of the film is also an object worthy of careful appreciation and collection.
It is also traced back to ancient times from modern times, and the background of the story is also a cruise ship at sea. If Titanic is compared to a sumptuous dinner, I believe that the exquisite and delicate legend of 19 will be a good afternoon tea dessert, which will enrich your mind and mine!
