I really appreciate the ending of THE PIANO. Many people always think that the ending of THE PIANO is a failure of the whole play, and that Ada should be buried in the bottom of the sea with the piano, so as to conform to the unity of the whole play. I disagree with this statement. the reason is. In the eyes of everyone, Ada is a woman who pursues love and freedom, and for such a character, her ending must be heroic, which is singular, no matter what, at least she can’t die with that vulgar man like in the movie. . Therefore, they believe that the most perfect home for Ada is the piano that accompanies her in the ocean. But in my eyes, Ada is not so legendary, so special, she is just an ordinary woman. If you want to say special, it is only because of her good family background, educated, can play the piano, romantic love story with the widowed husband and her inability to speak. Ada’s ordinaryness lies in the fact that even though she has a talent for music, she still has to marry a strange man who just wants to make money but does not understand the taste of life because of her life; her ordinaryness lies in the fact that she faces her husband asking her to teach piano to others. She can only compromise; her ordinaryness lies in the man's request to touch and exchange the piano and she cannot resist; her ordinaryness lies in the fact that when the piano returned to the original owner, she could not suppress the lust in her heart, and still rushed towards the man's house; Her ordinaryness lies in that she can only be pushed from one man to another, like a product; her ordinaryness lies in the will to survive soaked in the cold water; her ordinaryness is due to her being a woman.
Indeed, Ada has a talent for music and a romantic past. She can’t speak or don’t want to talk. The mundane sounds of the people around her are just nonsense to her. She just wants to immerse herself in her piano and the company of her daughter. play. But life is always ridiculous. The funny agreement spreads her story. When she rushed to the wooden house, until the climax of being chopped off her fingers ended, she set the piano and followed this man across the sea. It's the end. However, the piano was pushed into the sea, and the entanglement of the rope caused Ada to be dragged into the sea. And after she was confused, she dragged the rope and floated to the sea, choosing to survive. This ending angered most of the audience. The goddess in their hearts should have such a poignant destination. However, Ada is an ordinary woman after all, she yearns for life. So, she lived with this man comfortably, although in dreams, she would fantasize about sinking in the silence of the sea to accompany her piano.
Although Ada is proud, she cannot maintain her pride in the face of lust. Rather than saying that she loves this man, she is more thirsty for the man's original power. This man does not understand music and cannot be compared with her widowed husband. His love for Ada may be due to his inferiority due to the mediocre art, so he used strategy to conquer Ada and conquered Ada with strength. As for Ada, her husband and the man are actually the same kind of people. The difference is that the man first developed her latent desires and took off the shackles of her inner sex. So it is destined that her future will be with this man. This is also all the ordinary Ada as a woman.
The ordinaryness of a woman creates the reality of the ending, so Ada can't be buried deep in the sea with the piano. She can only live with this man in the sun, and can only fantasize about her piano and the silence she wants in the illusion.
