可惜,这一切的事情都发生在海上,1900从来不愿踏上陆地,直到有一天,他爱上了一个女孩,情愫在琴键上流淌。他会不会为了爱情,踏上陆地开始新的生活,用他的琴声惊艳世界?他将怎样谱写自己非凡的人生。
The Legend of 1900 marks the first collaboration between director Giuseppe Tornatore and legendary film composer Ennio Morricone since 1989's critically adored Cinema Paradiso, and the results are worth the wait. The film concerns a virtuoso pianist, so the opportunities for stunning musical performances are plentiful; Morricone's score is embellished by pieces from ragtime legends Scott Joplin and Jelly Roll Morton, as well as an original rock ballad with lyrics written and sung by Roger Waters and guitar work from Eddie Van Halen.
