    Hugely overrated,I valued Malena more,Tornatore presents a guide on how to block the audience from the real fact,which is the pianist himself and focuses on the spectacular indeed music.The Pianist on the other hand some years later showed in acute (if not pompous)detail on the personal tragedy of the hero,same as in 1900 but of course there's no military war on the ship,only nostalgia and despair of dilemmas.The basic problem is this re-cycling of events.

    Total passion for music is described in this film. It's funny when Tim Roth cried when he listened to Clarence Williams III playing the piano, it happens actually. It may have a slow start but totally worth finishing it. Tim's character here in this movie resembles my boyfriend in a lot of ways. Definitely a "must-see" movie.

    i remember seeing this when i was really young and i can remember that it was one of my main motivations to study hard at the piano... it paid off... and after a couple of years i saw this movie again and was amazed at how tim roth seemed absolutely flawless playing the piano... i was even more surprised that he wasn't a pianist, seeing how fluent he was at touching the keys... a great film, one of my absolute favorite...

    I came across this while flipping chanels and what I saw I enjoyed. I would rate it 4 stars but want to watch the first half of the movie.

    The music was amazing, wish I could play the piano like he did. Great love story.

    1900: "Take piano: keys begin, keys end. You know there are 88 of them. Nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite. You're infinite... And on those keys, the music that you can make... is infinite. I like that. That I can live by..."

    One of the best films I ever stumbled across, and one of the most underrated.
    An orphan born on a ship in the year 1900, becomes a piano prodigy, and spends his life with the passangers and crew, unable or unwilling to set foot on land. Great film.

    How can you not cry for such a tragic character?? Tim Roth was a charming tragic hero, a genius, he was on fire on the piano! And guess who wrote the music?? Ennio Morricone...enough said.

    i watched this 2 yrs ago... wasn't very moved by it... i couldn't understand the emotional attachment of 1900 to this ship... if there's a whole world outside for him to explore?... is it because of the abandoned infanthood? music is fun but the whole movie just doesn't make a deep impression...

    Caught this on TV last night by surprise, went to go to sleep and this was starting. I just adore and love this film so much, it just felt even better seeing it again (It really needs to be in my collection.). It has a strange story, about a man (Tim Roth) who was raised on a ship and who never leaves the ship and his a musical genius on the piano. The story is told from the point of view of a man he met on the ship, Max (Pruitt Taylor Vince) who starts to tell the story when he hears a record of music that shouldn't exist (You have to watch the film to find out about that.). Firstly, while the story is a little strange, it just seems to work so well. Tim Roth is just simply amazing as 1900, the casting for that role, perfection. One of the best films Tim Roth has done, and its no wonder he's on my list of my fav actors. For my anyway I just couldn't help but fall in love with 1900, everything about the character, just loved it. Another genius casting choice was Pruitt Taylor Vince as Max, I thought he was just excellent. Those two had great chemistry together and it worked so well. One of the best scenes is when their characters meet, simply fantastic. Again if you can't tell, I really do love this film.

    as it said in the film,"on the ground,there are many ways,i'm confused to decide which way i should go,but in the boat i don't worry about the question."somtimes when we facing many options,it's even harder to choose.

    Well in this film,they talikg about a free man who knows the meaning to be loved he loved two things in his life that pretty girl but his love to his mother was bigger,and his ohly weapon just let his fingers dance over that noble piano,i say this story it's just amazing,by the way if u don't find yourself crying at the end of this film,be sure your heart is as cold as a big rock standing against the waves of love in the life shore...
