“The Legend of 1900” is an important work of Barico. Besides the charm of words and language, the promotion of plot and the portrayal of characters, “The Legend of 1900”, which was adapted into a film and quickly swept the world, has some reasons that cannot be ignored. The mysterious images in the media, the mysterious pianist of great skill, the Virginian cruise ship, the man who never set foot on land, the genius who excelled in jazz at the time, the untaught genius, all these mysteries give the pianist 1900 a colorful and intriguing life.
He was born on the cruise ship, but he was abandoned and adopted by the crew since he was a child. The existence of 1900,1900 has become a joke in the life of the crew, but at the same time, it also adds a little uncertainty to the world of the crew. The innocent romance of the child gives the crew infinite fun, which is both giving up and gaining, and it is the crew’s value for life, which is also a coincidence.
Being born on the sea, dying on the sea, being born and growing longer than dying on the sea, the sea contains all the joys and sorrows of 1900, provides the basis for his growth, but also limits 1900. The most commendable thing about 1900 is that in his growth, the only external shining point is still superb skill, which lies in the control of the piano. The untaught talent that gives piano music the magic of reaching to the heart, capturing the recognition of every scene passenger and his only friend in life, Trumpet Max, is the thickness of 1900’s life story. From small to large life environment, stormy waves and calm, ups and downs like our lives.
What is interesting is that only 1900 can see this grasp of human nature. The real feelings of every passenger on the cruise, such as joy or sadness, jealousy and suspicion, and the expression of body shape between eyes and eyes, are presented in 1900’s piano music one by one. Presumably, part of his excellent skills is derived from the fullness of the story, which is also endowed by the passengers of the cruise.
It is the classic vernacular poem “You stand on the bridge to see the view, the view watchers are upstairs to see you. The bright moon decorated your window, you decorated the dream of others “each member of the cruise ship is the piano music notes, only sincere feeling is the most touching existence, because the sea drifting endless, cruise station conditions instead gave 1900 a short time under the infinite judgment of life, people of different classes, Have become 1900 growth basis, but at the same time, 1900 shackles immediately appeared, a wide and public plot, no depth of content feedback, this is the piano can not give, their own life is missing, no real experience, is the fate of the helpless feeling of “success and failure”.
1900 was born in the sea, short life story development is also in the sea, life development is limited to the “sea level” this shackle. In terms of the choice of life, 1900 had a chance to go ashore, but when all the people were seeing him off, 1900 stagnated. He turned around at the second and third stairs and waved down his hat. At that moment, what he saw in his eyes was the prosperity on the shore, the flow of people, and the existence of the industrial society. For all readers of “The Legend of 1900”, this scene is the most memorable moment, not choosing to go ashore, and so is the choice of a lifetime.
1900 is the duckgrass in the sea, with the ebb and flow of the tide. The music and legendary stories left by the “son of the sea” remain in our memory. I believe that we cannot hear the piano music, but we can see the choice of ourselves in a deeply fetted state. But is it my life circle is it the life circle that exists?
Just as 1900 never chose to go ashore, but this landing is only a choice, no one can directly understand the heart of another, the closest family, the most familiar friends, or even think they know themselves. A sentence of “the outsider is confused by the onlooker” summarizes the most realistic problem, any way and channel is just a beginning, under the society everyone hopes to break the bottleneck, can jump out of their own circle, seeking the possibility of the future, “life is the first half of life to find the entrance, the second half of life to find the exit” everyone is so. But I can see the tangible reality, the unpredictable future.
The existence of life is the free personality consciousness, the unity of spirit and flesh. I saw everything in front of me, the contradiction, the unknown, all the unknowable, the possibility of existence. When never experienced, need to choose, is to move forward or stop and turn around? Fortunately, the emergence of the future is a continuation of the established trajectory with a high probability, and the warning will certainly be earlier than the accident of life. Carefully observe the accident is the sublimation of quantitative and qualitative changes in existence, or the sudden appearance without any preparation, this moment is “the injustice of life” and also the possibility of growth.
In the face of shackles can not capture the existence, the choice of time, environment, their own accumulation is indispensable, is the unity of the right time, geography and people. 1900 chose to try to cross the comfort zone under the opportunity of “success and fame”, but he gave up. Just like the Buddha saying “turn back and become a Buddha”, what we see at this moment is the flashy unknown in the text. Everything far away has nothing to do with me. Back to the beginning of his life story — the sea.
Everyone has his own way of life, has his own choice. There is no denying whether the choice is wrong or not. Maybe the subsequent occurrence is worse, but because of this, life is better. Just as in the beginning of the novel, there will be a person at each site Shouting out “America” in a long way. That person can be a nobody or a famous person and become the pioneer of the whole audience, but isn’t this a possibility? Try and curiosity must be the most interesting attitude on people. From small to large, the exploration and extension of learning under the temptation of curiosity makes life meaningful.
Small to the baby to learn language, a piece of a combination of the master is the password of communication, and the last birth is the early family upbringing, only step by step to try to have the last life shout moment. Do not deny the stability and diversity of life, on the contrary, we have the previous motivation, life provides more possibilities, often these are we cannot defy, what we can do is to constantly accumulate their own energy, even if it is necessary to face the unknown, do not be discouraged, try the first step, I think it is more important!
