The Legend of 1900 Trailers

The story of a virtuoso piano player who lives his entire life aboard an ocean liner. Born and raised on the ship, 1900 (Tim Roth) learned about the outside world through interactions with passengers, never setting foot on land, even for the love of his life. Years later, the ship may be destroyed, and a former band member fears that 1900 may still be aboard, willing to go down with the ship.

Beautiful, moving film.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I have this movie in my bookmark link for like several months. The title and the trailer of this movie didn't attract me at all. Because the title pretty much already told me there is no much contents in this story. It turned out I was right, yet a very simple story with overwhelming emotional moments. I fell in love to this movie in the first 10 minutes with its unique background of the character. If you have your own life-stories, you can resonate with the conversation. Unfortunately this is a movie for people who have really lived, enjoyed, and suffered. Probably very boring to many young people. I will definitely recommend this to people in my age. Not to mention the music is beautiful.

I watch last night this movie without to know the storyline or anything about this picture which does not characterize me and I was impressed.Acting is lovely,original screenplay which you don't see very often in today Hollywood movies,and the director Giusepe Tornatore managed to keep the suspense throughout the film,I was wondering often " what happens next? " and for me and many others it seldom happens.The piano duel scene was exciting but that girl in the rain,that beautiful girl just made my day,and the music that plays when he sees it is heart melting.Some scenes left me with a bitter taste,not because were bad...I wanted the main character take different decisions but as I learned later,it's a beautiful story of a man who could do anything... except be ordinary.

This is because of samar... I never rate a movie with 10 stars even my favorite movies and i always think about the impressive movie which will deserve the 10 rate... some times i think i will never rate with 10 stars and it will be just a symbol of perfection in my mind... But this time i didn't watch it alone...samar was with me in every scene even in the cast names...OK i saw samar face on the baby when dany found him on the piano and i imagine if she were here how she will smile and say some sort of sweet expressions like her...she will say that "i want to bite him in his checks" Samar was here when 1990 and max were in front of the piano dancing with the ocean...believe me when i say that samar was also dancing there...i feel her lightness in dancing there...The girl which 1990 was looking at when he was playing music...samar face was there...In every piece of music i feel the shiver in my cells when i thought that samar must like this piece of music when she watched the movie before....so all the music was touching me because of samar... This is my first time to write a review...and because of the IMDb rules of writing reviews that it must be more than 10 lines so i wrote all of the above... Also IMDb rules in writing reviews in English hand caped me to express... If there weren't these rules i think i would write one thing..." i feel all these sweetness because samar was here with me in my mind when i was watching the movie "...

The Legend Of 1900 is an imaginative story about a man who is born, lives his entire life, and dies on board a cruise liner. The man's full name is Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon 1900. He has a natural talent for playing piano and shows his infinite music by using the limited keyboard. The charming story is supported so well by the incredible music, the excellent cinematography, and the wonderful manner of storytelling, that I can't see The Legend Of 1900 as anything but a success in which almost had me moved to tears. While I'll admit that I'd be watching films all day, no film in my recollection had such an impact so quickly, that was, when 1900 is challenged by jazz great Jelly Roll Morton to a piano duel, he meets the challenge and annihilates Morton with a performance that left me shaking and yelling. What's more, I got lost in thoughts such as "land represents for a place without boundaries, where people can get lost, a place without beginning or end", "does it really meaningful for us to chase the world not belong to our own?" To be frank, that's a matter of debate. As to me, I will choose the same way as 1900. Also there are some words impressed me deeply. For instance, "in all sprawling city there was everything except an end "As my honest speaking, there is no boring moment from the beginning till the very end. It's the greatest feast of emotions!
