Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

johannrousselot So crappy, so happy-go-clappy! Some directors should never direct. A Disney World tale in all its splendor.

beorhhouse "I'll never watch another movie again!" cried my sweet-hearted wife as she wept uncontrollably as the final scene ended. Touched, I wept with her, but made no such vow. She may not keep the vow either, but I can see why she said what she did. This was my second viewing, her first. This time, though, I was deeply touched by everything in the film. 12 years ago, when I first saw it, it was fun, interesting, and for me a real salvation for an actor--Tim Roth--who normally plays the bad guy. Today I can easily say that of the thousands of films I have seen, this one out-ranks all of them--definitely is #1 in my book. I honestly can think of no other great film that is as good. Mary Poppins comes to mind, but still doesn't make the grade like this one. Oh, and we love, love, love Jazz. There's Ragtime here, and Dixieland, and Roaring 20s Jazz, and other Jazz styles--and even quite a bit of Classical. Roger Waters even steps in for one of his classic solos written for this film--and I'm a big Pink Floyd fan because of, you guessed it, their Jazz influence. I've gushed enough, I guess, but see this one, then get a copy for yourself, and watch it once a year--to remind yourself that the inner world, the inner kingdom, is far and away better than anything that world out there has to offer. Anything.

Mohamed AL-Saadany This is because of samar... I never rate a movie with 10 stars even my favorite movies and i always think about the impressive movie which will deserve the 10 rate... some times i think i will never rate with 10 stars and it will be just a symbol of perfection in my mind... But this time i didn't watch it alone...samar was with me in every scene even in the cast names...OK i saw samar face on the baby when dany found him on the piano and i imagine if she were here how she will smile and say some sort of sweet expressions like her...she will say that "i want to bite him in his checks" Samar was here when 1990 and max were in front of the piano dancing with the ocean...believe me when i say that samar was also dancing there...i feel her lightness in dancing there...The girl which 1990 was looking at when he was playing music...samar face was there...In every piece of music i feel the shiver in my cells when i thought that samar must like this piece of music when she watched the movie before....so all the music was touching me because of samar... This is my first time to write a review...and because of the IMDb rules of writing reviews that it must be more than 10 lines so i wrote all of the above... Also IMDb rules in writing reviews in English hand caped me to express... If there weren't these rules i think i would write one thing..." i feel all these sweetness because samar was here with me in my mind when i was watching the movie "...

petra_ste There is a great moment in La Leggenda del Pianista Sull'Oceano (one of many, in fact): a musical duel in which meek pianist 1900 (Tim Roth), right after playing at vertiginous speed an impossible piece (much to the dismay of his smug adversary), gently touches an incandescent piano string with a cigarette, which is immediately ignited.Tornatore's bittersweet drama/character study crackles with creativity, emotion and wit. Roth is excellent as 1900, a childlike musical genius who refuses to leave the ship where he works as an entertainer; Pruitt Taylor Vince's portrayal of his best friend is vivid and engaging.The ending is surprisingly moving: Roth's last monologue could be his finest moment as an actor. Ennio Morricone provides the memorable score of a movie where music plays an essential role.7,5/10
