|
|
On a foggy night right after the World War II Max (Pruitt Taylor Vince) enters a secluded music store in Southampton, England, where he intends to sell his trumpet. Before Max leaves the store he plays one final tune on the trumpet which the storekeeper recognizes as he has just found a recording of the same tune. The storekeeper asks if Max knows about the creator behind the touching piece, which Max does. Max begins to tell the story of musical genius Danny Boodmann T.D. Lemon Nineteen Hundred (Tim Roth), the man who was born on a the ocean cruiser, Virginian, and never had set foot on land. Legend of 1900 is a warm and wonderful story as it presents several interesting themes under the skillful direction of Tornatore. These themes come to life as 1900 plays the piano, music that he creates instantly as his eyes and imagination wander the world and build new life experiences. However, behind the inviting tale of 1900 there is a dark past that is unveiled as the story is told by Max. The cinematography and music enhance the cinematic experience as it tells the tragedy of 1900 and leaves the audience in silent thought. |
