Summary: Outstanding, just amazing!
Review: This film is one of the most amazing films I have ever seen in my life. Im sure this movie is an unforgetable one and is a must to purchase. The director brings the movie together so brilliantly that you would-at point-believe it is true. The amazing part, Tim Roth plays as the amazing piano player "1900", has touched everybodies heart in a different way. He plays the roll so natural that you would think he actually knows how to play the piano in real life. Tim Roth is an outstanding actor and all of his films must be watched. The most amazing part of this movie is when he challenged to a piano duel. The King of Jazz, known as "Jelly Roll Morton", hears of the amazing piano player, 1990, and decides to challenge him. I am not going to tell you anymore than that, I dont want to spoil the excitement! What are you waiting for, go ahead BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Legend of 1900
Review: I thought this moveie was one of the best I have ever seen. The story line was very fresh, the acting was great, and the photography was excellent. I think the "dancing piano" scene is amoung the best and most unforgettable movie scenes ever filmed.

Summary: Who knew life on a boat could be so interesting
Review: This movie is a must see. It is a tale about a boy who is lives his whole life on a charter ship and really gets a master understanding of the piano. I would think it hard to make a story like this one interesting but the writer did a great job along with a superb job by Tim Roth. Roth really put his heart and soul into this role and it really shows. This movie is definatley on my top 5 greatest movies list. This movie has it all: action, suspense, drama, and even comedy. It keeps you interested all the way through and really brings out the emotions of the viewer, not to mention the non-hollywood type ending which just adds the icing to the cake. I give this two thumbs up and recommend it to everyone in any age group.

Summary: Beautifully done movie
Review: The writing, directing, acting, cinematography, music... everything about this movie is excellent. The story is unique and so well done it is believable. You can read a synopsis in the previous reviews to see what the movie is about. I am not necessarily a fan of foreign films, however with films like "Life is Beautiful" and "Legend of 1900" coming out of Italy, I may become one. Unlike "Life is Beautiful", this movie is in English, but both movies share the story of a unique perspective on life. Anyone who enjoys quality movies will enjoy this one.

Summary: The voice of the sea
Review: This is a must have for any drama fan.

This is quite possibly the most beatiful film I've ever seen. One year before i saw it, I heard the Roger Water's song "lost boys calling" The song was excellent but i never heard it in the proper context. When it's played on piano in the film, when 1900 sees the girl, he tracks her and plays it, she leaves and there's only the sea. The song is also on the end credits.

The acting is superb, the story even better. I think those who've seen this will never forget the "piano duel".
I watched it with my girlfriend, we were both amazed and truly moved at the end. Even if I was alone, I think I would've shed some tears.

Fantastic film.

Summary: A good old fashioned film
Review: Tim Roth gives an excellant portayal as 1900, born on a passenger liner on the first day of the new century. He grows up in the bowels of the ship until one day he wanders into the ships ballroom and sits down at the piano and plays like a maestro.
The film deals with the people he meets, fleetingly as they reach his destination and his struggle to come to terms with the realisation that there is a big new world at the end of the gangplank.

It has the feel of one of the sixties epics, but using the sound and cinematography of the 21st century to create a rich, deep feeling of being on board. Sometimes the film seems to drag, but as we are brought up on a diet of films with explosions incredible special effects, and quick cut scenes it is refreshing to see a film that is both,interesting and uplifting. And if you enjoy good music, especially piano you are in for a treat. Not sure how popular this was in the States but I found it in the bargain DVD bin and haven't yet found anyone who has heard of it. Watch it, rent it, buy it but sshhh, let's keep it to ourselves.

Summary: A Great Movie!!!
Review: This movie really touched me as a musician. That one mans devotion to music would be so great that he would never have to leave his ship. All he needed was an idea and the music would flow.
