Read "The Pianist" which felt the music

in the morning saw "The Pianist" (The Pianist), after reading the feeling is - as
if watching a movie when Chopin was not beautiful and sonorous melodies sometimes there, I will I was
suffocated by the details composed of details.

Polanski’s film is very realistic. I think it’s even a bit like
a documentary by Wladysla w Szpilman. In Warsaw, which is shrouded in Nazi terror, even if all
the things you love have to be given up, as a Jew He still lives stubbornly. Finally, when the
dawn came, his courage, the kind and courageous people around him, let
him survive, and let him find the art he loves sincerely.

The story is not to say, Roman Polanski's skill out there yet, here mainly want
to talk about feelings of which the music:

What impressed me most is that the film is just beginning to enter the familiar "#C minor ear of the night
song" melody, this song was first heard in three days, when the carrier or a 60-minute magnetic
tape, and then like this song. It is an extremely beautiful and slightly Resentment melody,
but its song with sweet meditation Massenet, Bizet beautiful of all, "Alai city Minuet 2"
is very different, it is rich with clever motivation Han And harmonious vibrato. No matter how confusing
or restless people are in my mind , as long as I listen to this song, it is easy to calm down. Often hear that little mention
violin and piano trio version, the film opened to hear the Wlady that clean play, this
melody and plot of the film produced the first conflict - rumbling fire in the "Nocturne" metaphor
forward after The disaster of the protagonist himself and his country... and in the middle of the film, when Wlady escapes to the German army
When a nearby hospital, found refuge in the house of a piano, a piano lid and set off, but
in that environment does not allow it sounds, he played the volley fingers on the keys empty
gas - this is the first Nocturne . I was moved, in numerous and relentless war of life and death
, the artist and my heart is still kind of is bright and calm, although it has not inevitable
security ...

Later, Wlady fled to an abandoned old house, is that The German colonel found out:
"what are you doing here? who are you? do you live here? d
o you work here?"
"no.."
"what do you do?"
"I am... a pianist.."

after this conversation, he came to the grand piano and began to play Chopin in Syria since the first
thing song ... the song "G flat minor Ballade" (Op23) I only heard once before, when
most The strong feeling is somewhat similar to the beginning minor interval of another work "Fantasy".
It is Chopin in 1835 after years of creation, when he heard Chopin's Warsaw Uprising lost homeland
after the creation of the news defeat this work, we can imagine, there are a lot of attitude and a strong rise of
patriotism and into them. I always feel, in this film, this song also set off a
series of conflicts - ostensibly before Wlady vaguely heard the song "sonata Beethoven
melody conflict between the moon", and a deep
The conflict between the tragic fate motive and the strong desire for life, victory and freedom. And in the end, when the melody of "Nocturne" changed from
When the hands of Wlady in the recording studio sounded, it explained the victory of "G minor Ballad No. 1"—democracy and
fairness defeated racial discrimination, freedom defeated **, and life defeated death!

Finally, in the concert hall, the Wlady Chopin concerto with the orchestra, so I Jia Pei
service director for the understanding and use of Chopin's music, this song election nice, gorgeous
"Polonaise" It's like a summary of the entire movie , The final climax is the best
interpretation of freedom ...

Of course, Wojciech Kilar’s ​​music for the film is also very basic,
blends with the plot, and is straightforward, but I may be more impressed by the few songs in it. So I won’t comment on the original soundtrack of the film.

    The old way: reflect the turbulent overall situation with personal fate...but it's really good

  • Bailey 2022-03-23 09:01:05

    For a film that records Jews in World War II, it can only be regarded as an introduction compared to "Schindler's List"; for a piano-themed music film, it is not as magnificent as "The Pianist on the Sea".
