Before analyzing the film, let us first understand the film with friends who have not seen it.

The movie "The Pianist" was directed by Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore and starred by famous actor Tim Roth. The film won the 1998 No. Best Director Award at the 43rd Italian David Awards. This movie is defined as a love musical. The content of the movie is not only thought-provoking and impressive, but the soundtrack is also outstanding. The beautiful and melodious melody perfectly sets off the atmosphere of the movie. The film mainly tells the story of a worker on a ship who picked up an abandoned baby. The worker named him 1900. There was a piano on the ship. 1900 stayed with the piano all day long. He taught himself without a teacher and became a highly skilled piano master. At the last moment when the ship sank to the bottom of the sea, he still chose to stay on the ship and play the piano until the last moment. Even if his only friend advised him to leave the Virginia, he was unwilling to leave. This ship meant everything to 1900, "I was born on the ship, grew up on the ship, and ended my life on the ship."

The profound meaning of "The Pianist on the Sea": the refuge of life.

I think the last sentence of the film, "I was born on a boat, grew up on a boat, and ended my life on a boat." is the theme of the film. It is not difficult to see that the piano and the Virginia are what 1900's heart desires.

Why is it called 1900:

If you understand the history of Italy, you will know about the "Italian immigration wave" at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. This means briefly talking about the history of Italy. For Italians, the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were a turbulent time.

From 1880 to 1920, Italian immigration to the United States reached its peak. In 40 years, more than 4.1 million Italians immigrated to the United States. This wave of immigration is not only much higher than that of immigrants from other countries at the same time, it is also unprecedented in the history of the United States. In the process of integrating into American society, Italian immigrants were also affected by the "xenophobia" of mainstream American society. It is not easy to work hard in a foreign country. There is too much unknown bitterness, blood and tears involved.

Back to the video:

After watching the video, many people will have questions, why is 1900 left on the ship that is about to be destroyed? This is exactly the meaning of the whole movie. The explanation is given in 1900 at the end of the movie:

“What stops me is not the things I see, but the things I cannot see. The city is so big that I can’t see it. To the end. Even the streets are countless. Find a woman, build a house, buy a piece of land, create a landscape, and then go to a dead end together. Are you not afraid of mental breakdown? The land is too big, like a big ship, a woman, and a long route. I would rather give up my life than live in a world with no end. ”

This answer does not make movie fans buy it, and they even think that 1900 is timid and fearful of the unknown, but is this really the case? We then moved on to watch the movie,

In the moonlit night of the third-class cabin in 1900, a conversation with a peasant immigrant from Friuli in northern Italy. (Okay, before watching this paragraph, let’s learn about Italy’s history in the early 19th century. History),

"You don't seem that happy about going to the United States", (The Virginia arrived in New York, and the people on the ship dispersed in a hurry, all happy to have arrived in the United States)

“It’s not because of going to the United States,” the Friuli immigrant continued after lighting a cigarette, “it’s because of everything I gave up. Until a few years ago, all I knew was my fields, and the whole world was interested in them. For me, within the small area of ????that land, I have never been on the street, which I am afraid you will find difficult to understand.” Equivalent to the whole world's land and sad)

And this is very similar to 1900. 1900 replied "I know it very well. I know a person who is in a very similar situation to you" (referring to 1900 Himself, the Virginia is the world and everything of 1900),

"Then one day the man's fields were deserted and his wife eloped...?" "No, but he was also alone." , at this time 1900 had a world of its own, but the Friuli immigrants lost everything they had.

The Friuli immigrant said a very philosophical word at this time, "Then one day when I was passing through an unknown city, I came to a hill and saw the most beautiful thing in my life, the sea. , the sound of the sea is like a cry, a powerful cry, constantly shouting, you have no brain, life is infinite, so I suddenly decided to change my life."

Immigrants all want to go to the United States to find freedom. Is it true that they are truly free when they are tired of running around in a materialistic world? Or freedom lies in your own world. Only in your own world can you be your true self and feel fulfilled and happy.

This scene reminds me of the old people here who are unwilling to move out of the mountains. The square inches of the mountains are the world of the old people, and the fields between the square inches are everything the old people have. This scene It also completely echoes the history of northern Italy in the early 19th century, when people gave up their fields and immigrated to the United States.

After reading this paragraph, it also makes people think about life, why we live, how we should live, and whether we should pursue a world of wealth and materialism in our short life or choose to protect our spiritual home.
