A man, no parents, no names, no legal documents to prove his existence. In his infancy he was abandoned on a steamboat called the Virginia, and he spent his whole life on the ship, and did not step on the land. His profession is the pianist on the Virginia. When "the Virginian" abandoned, failed to change his friends to come to them and the last ship in the sea, sailing together to destroy the decision. The only trace of his life in the world was recorded, a record plate he played. Of course, most of the music in the record can not be heard, even if you do not know who on the other side of the sound.
In the luxury cruise ship Virginia sui generis sea world, named in 1900 1900 abandoned orphans grow up as a genius pianist at sea, on land first attracted talented pianists to challenge, but love also inadvertently come from the window, but at the end of 1900 was decided in the sea from the sea. But I think we can not care too much about these plots. I dont think this is the key point of the movie, because they have been done in many movies. Looking at the film, we should see his last line of monologue to the outside world in order to understand his final decision about going ashore.
The tanker Virginia is carrying the hustle and bustle of cheers at the port of New York. Encouraged by a dream in the dense mass of people disembarked, meet with the possibility of a better future. After the hustle and bustle, there was nothing left on the ship except the crew. Coal worker Danny Boodman then went to a restaurant secretly collecting the guest lost valuables, nothing. At the end of his disappointment, he found a beautiful baby on the piano rack. He picked up the baby and saw his eyes clear and the skin white. Danny Boodman was amazed at the unexpected harvest, so the child, named 1900, was named to be adopted by him on the first day of the new century.
In modern society, love in a different way to look at different from ordinary people, like that for 1900 people; people day and night chasing difficulties with glory, splendour, wealth and rank, complain to give vent, young time to complain about social injustice and social corruption, the authorities and the inability of generation always in the past, when the young generation of old have the position of the power, they forget when young ideal, but was the cruel reality of the society to change the world is such a generation cycle and the performance of human most incisive poor human nature, do a good many innocent people, but the innocent people in such a world of suffering temptation.
Then, the day playing in the hall of the legendary, and those infected people are fake? Why they disembarked, but no one to mention? Is really a genius? Or just on the ship is a ship, what all is not the man who won? What? Is that people continue to fast in the land, and he is still on the ship, when the ship will be destroyed but only one Max think of him. If the world on the land really cares about him and cares about his piano music, what is the end? Can you believe what the future of the ship they have depicted?
If I was 1900, I will have no illusions about what the people on the land, also wont have what to look forward to, it is a place that is endless, no one really cares for you, that is more than fear, because strange?
At the beginning, music was slow and beautiful. There was a touching note in the middle of the music. The end of the music was dull and miserable. This dull tragedy can make people shed tears. 1900, finally, with the explosion of the ship, it ended its life. When he died, he raised his hands and played the silent music, and he could hear him.
