FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

vesil_vesalier 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.

booly prop This movie was great but it was also very frustrating. I kept waiting for him to just get off the boat at least once. Just step on land once. I mean what's the harm in that. I guess it's just the principle of it. I still don't think his reasoning for not getting off the boat was good enough. He was saying "How could you pick just one girl, one house, one way to die?" Well it was obvious he had already picked one girl. He also chose his one way to die. So it's obviously not too hard for him to choose with so many infinite possibilities. Also, pianos play the same on land as they do on boats. However, I give it nine out of ten stars because it did strike a chord with me as I have a very hard time making decisions and this movie really got me thinking. Also, Tim Roth is an excellent actor.

ep_u_bitz The film is about the legend of the man '1900' who was found as an infant on new years day 1900 under the piano in the ball room of a cruise liner. The film tells the tale of a man who spent his whole life on a ship. A man with no country- only sea, who spent his childhood in the bowels of the ship shoveling coal and became the legendary pianist of that same grand ocean liner. Without going into the plot too much- the film is fantasy (why I compare it to Big Fish) but not too crazy that it wouldn't be believable. The music, costuming, and sets are beautiful and although the acting isn't always great, the film as a whole is compelling. There are touching moments (1900 sees a girl) , moments of tension (The challenge by Jazz legend Jelly Roll Morton), and musical magic. My most memorable scene is when Max meets 1900 in the ball room on a stormy night with high rolling seas. The brakes come off the piano and 1900 takes Max on a musical ride. Watch it for this scene alone and stick around for the Jelly Roll battle!

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 "...
