Watch The Legend of 1900 For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

So here it is, a landmark event, the occurrence of me finding my 100th "10" movie, as rated by the IMDB. There are movies on my list that would NEVER probably find their way onto those of the great critics. After all, for me, it's not about technical wizardry or having all the pieces fall into the right places. I've given 10s to movies that have flaws. Even ones that have problems.But for me, everything boils down to feel. Everything comes down to how much the movie messed with me, how I went in looking at the world one way, and came out the other side with my brains mixed up. How now there are new colors in the world, thanks to this new perspective that's changed everything forever. THE LEGEND OF 1900, starting Tim Roth, and written and directed by one of my favorite directors, Giuseppe Tornatore, the man who made CINEMA PARADISO, is my 100th "10". I've just watched it, and love is the only word that serves it justice, for me. From the amazing music played (even IF Tim Roth had to fake it) to the absolutely top-notch delivery done by ALL of the cast, right down to the extras in the background and the girl that barely had any lines... I've been touched. I've been moved. I've cried.I'm in love.It's the story of a man trying to tell the story of his friend, who was born and left on an ocean liner, and grows up on it. As a bonus, he's a master musician, a prodigy, who picks it up as he goes along.The story is about his life, and the music he plays. The people he influences, the effects his music has on the world that he touches. It's about the way we look at life, at fame, at living. I don't want to give anything away. Suffice to say that it was funny, moving, dramatic, touching, heartwarming, absolutely beautiful, and well worth the price of admission. I absolutely loved it.I choose to give nothing away. It was wonderful. Go and watch it, and see for yourself.

...critics be damned...how can you work and get paid for watching movies and not like this movie? as a testament, even with the critics hating it the film is still solidly rated at 8.1 stars as i'm writing this review.no Oscar nominations for this film...in my opinion...best actor, supporting actor, best film, best director and best score..but alas...not one.the story itself has been reviewed to death already by other reviewers already so i wouldn't step there. what i can say is that the story moved me to tears on multiple occasions..heartfelt tears...i've watched just about all the good ones and plenty of bad ones too...none has moved me to tears so many times in one viewing. just about everyone that shed a tear watching this movie shed tears at different segments of the movie although just about everyone cried at the end.i watched the original version...close to 3 hrs. long and not the 2 hr. version. great story, cinematopgraphy, score and of course the direction.in my humble opinion...the director tornatore is a treasure on the global scale...i've watched a few of his films where i can find them and they have all stayed in my memory.againnnn....professional critics be damned for hating a masterpiece....not 1 Oscar nomination either...what a joke and farce the people in Hollywood are.

An enchanting film which follows the extraordinary beautiful life of a talented musician, filmed with some wonderfully delightful shots, and backed by a stunning score, this is a fantastically delightful film. A story that knows how to stay completely true to itself and will leave you thoroughly invested, and paced as well as a fine piece of music it so eloquently models itself after.Tim Roth is amazing in this film, with a very good performance. Everyone else is quite good but he is the clear star here. This movie also had a number of memorable scenes, some of which will most definitely be remembered by me for a long time.

I watch last night this movie without to know the storyline or anything about this picture which does not characterize me and I was impressed.Acting is lovely,original screenplay which you don't see very often in today Hollywood movies,and the director Giusepe Tornatore managed to keep the suspense throughout the film,I was wondering often " what happens next? " and for me and many others it seldom happens.The piano duel scene was exciting but that girl in the rain,that beautiful girl just made my day,and the music that plays when he sees it is heart melting.Some scenes left me with a bitter taste,not because were bad...I wanted the main character take different decisions but as I learned later,it's a beautiful story of a man who could do anything... except be ordinary.
