I just watched it again and again. I’m moved by 1900’s eyesight, the purest eyesight that I have never seen before. Now I still remember the words he said: Why? Why? Why? Why? I think land people waste lots of time on the “why”. Winter comes, they wish for the summer, summer comes they are afraid of the winter. That’s why you always travel around, because you want to find a place where there is summer all year round. His words make me aware of the way we live and the aim we hold onto, I wonder whether we are right, whether the belief we rely on constantly is valuable, I just don’t understand why we must have so many ambitions, and can’t have the simple but joyful way of life, as 1900 describes: I was great in my overcoat, I got perfect and it was a kind of guarantee. That was no problem, it was fun anyway. The reason why I stopped was what I didn’t see. You understand, Max? What I saw was the stretching city except the end. There was no end, end? Please, you please show me the ends. What I didn’t see was the whole thing came to the end, the end of the world. Take piano, keys begin, keys end.You know there are 88 and nobody can tell you the different. They’re no infinite, you are infinite. And on those keys, the music you can make is infinite.And I like that, that I can live by. You get me on the piano with millions of billions of keys, there’s never the end. That’s the truth, Max, there’s no end. The keyboard is infinite, on that keyboard no music you can play. That’s God’s piano. Did you see the streets, just streets, there are thousands streets. How did you choose? Choose one woman to love, one house, one landscape to look at and one way to die. When I heard these words, my heart strikes, I think nowadays many people feel at a loss, they don’t know what they really want; they just follow the fashion and follow their parents’ will. They just pass by the world emotionlessly and ambitiously which is ridiculous in 1900’s eye. Maybe someone thinks 1900 is a poltroon who dare not facing up to the reality, nevertheless I would argue that he is a hero at least in my heart for his saying:” you never really down for as long as you got a good story and someone to tell it.” It shows his optimism and his special belief about life. At the end of the movie he chose to step off his life with the ship which he was born on and pass by. In his opinion he never exists for anyone after all. On the other hand he has learnt live that way which is simple but joyful, he can play his happiness on the piano that was not infinite. Land? Land is a ship too big for him, it’s a woman too beautiful, a voyage too long, perfume too strong, it’s music he just don’t know how too make. So he would rather step off his life. Maybe in some people’s eye it’s a tragedy, but for 1900 it’s the best ending. The movie was so beautiful that any words is pallid,
I can still remember 1900’s slender fingers dancing on the piano. I could do nothing but crying. I can’t control my emotion when I saw the ship’s explosion, as if I am on the ship. In a word this is one of the most wonderful movies that I have seen
