The protagonist of the story, 1900, an orphan who was born on a ship, is a natural piano master. He has never gotten off a ship in his life, and can stroll around when others are seasick and vomit in a mess. He had a miserable life but conquered everyone with the piano. He went through two world wars but didn't care. He could choose to die with the ship but couldn't go to land once for the woman he loved. It's sad to write here, this brilliant genius finally chose to stay on the boat, and he couldn't take that small step off the deck, even for the only love in his life. Everyone seemed eager to push him off the boat, but 1900 turned back. He said: "The land has no end." This feeling of no end scares him, and the piano keys have no end, which makes him feel safe. I believe many people, like me, were puzzled by him at the beginning. He has peerless talent, endless inspiration, and can even easily defeat the world-renowned so-called "Jazz Patriarch", so as long as he is willing to take a small step and come to land, he will enjoy endless glory and wealth. The whole world will fall for him. But he didn't, even death couldn't force him to leave the ship for half a step. He was born on a ship, grew up on a ship, and eventually sank into the sea with the ship, which is also a kind of fate. In my opinion, this ship is like a paradise, everything on the ship is so simple and limited, easy to control, but the land under the ship is so endless, thousands of streets are mixed in At the same time, in his opinion, even choosing which one is so frustrating. We can also regard this ship as the dividing line between the two realms of life. The city under the ship represents popular secular thoughts, and everything on the ship represents the purity and thoroughness of the heart that 1900 adhered to all his life. He would not change himself for the so-called fame and fortune, and even love was regarded as a worldly thing and gave up after his fierce ideological struggle, failing to make him yield. All he seeks is a simple life, an attitude that is always true to his heart. In 1900, stepping off the boat meant a compromise with the world, in which he would lose himself, which would have been better for him than death. Thinking of this, I seem to be able to understand him. It is true that all we regret is the endless fame and fortune he deserves, in our opinion, but if he does get off the boat and become famous in the world, will it really be a joy for everyone? At least, 1900 will not be happy, because he got a lot of things he didn't care about, but lost the authenticity of his life. The world will not be happy either, because we have one less artist and one more idealist, but only one more entertainer. we are at In today's materialistic world, they are scrambling for fame and fortune, which is extremely important to them. Some people even do whatever they can because of this, but gradually ignore the original meaning of life. How should we face life, this movie gave some inspiration.
