The Legend of 1900 behind the scenes

2021-12-31 08:02
The exterior design of the ship in the film was inspired by RMS Lusitania and its sisters. The dance hall where the piano played in 1900 had a similar round roof.
Filming "The Legend of 1900" made Tim visit Italy for the first time in his life. It was not Tonadore who convinced him, but the monologue "1900: Monologue". This fictional story about an unknown pianist moved him .
Although Timothy Simon Smith didn't know how to play the piano, he should have learned it after the devil training in the first half of the filming. In the film, the shot of the hand when playing the piano in 1900 fully shows that it is Timothy Simon Smith's own hand. You know that it is not easy for beginners to be "like in shape".
Due to a temporary suspension in the middle, the crew spent 110 days for filming. Built 19 locations in Rome and 11 locations in Odessa. 45 actors. 75 staff. 10,000 extras. 2500 sets of clothing. The Virginia used a 165-meter-long retired Russian ship.
In Ukraine, due to the harsh environment, language barrier, differences in the script, and the two have bad tempers, Tim and Tonatore spoke to each other only as a last resort. After the crew moved to Rome, their relationship was harmonious. A lot: bystanders describe them as close as good friends.
Melanie Thierry, who plays the girl who made 1900 fall in love, is a model who has appeared in magazines such as "Vogue" many times. She was only 16 years old when she appeared in the film.
The exterior scenes of ports including New York, Southampton, and Naples were all built in Rome.
In the end, most of the actual sound used in the synthesis of the recording came from the piano player Diyouth Buta.
The film cost 20 million US dollars, far exceeding the average level of filming in Italy at the time.
The film lasted 3 hours when it was released in Italy. Initially, its overseas screening version has been cut by Tonadore for 22 minutes, but the overseas distributor of the film, Fine Line, still insists that the film should be deleted and modified to be more dramatic, regardless of the "Bernese Convention" on "films." The “final editing rights belong to the director” rule, threatening that otherwise the film will not be released, including the screenings at major film festivals; they demanded that at least another 40 minutes be deleted.
The film was originally scheduled to be exhibited at the Berlin International Film Festival for 2 hours and 45 minutes. Tonadore insisted on his opinion and did not delete the film at all costs. For this reason, he missed the Berlin Film Festival.

    Rewatching it only a year later, my mood is completely different. If I was just sighing at the beauty of the movie when I first watched it, then after watching it now, I am not only immersed in the music and the plot, but the experience of life, which is 1900. Endless deep eyes. 1900 is the most authentic appearance of human beings. It has things that everyone is born with, but loses and discards. We are all Max, we will sell our beloved trumpet and continue to plunge into the quagmire of life. It is called "this is life". Fuck your life. It is better to watch "The Pianist at Sea" than to watch ten or fifty hit theatrical movies. No one can say no in the face of the classic charm.

    ...We don't have your courage, we can only still float in the crowd, hold on or let go, meet or lose.

The Legend of 1900 quotes

  • Max: Leave the ship, marry a nice woman, and have children. All those things in life which are not immense but are worth the effort.

  • 1900: [walking out of the shadows] Where the hell did you get that record?
