The Legend of 1900 4K 1998

A truly great film!

I've noticed the following pattern: there are films that pay for their budget several times over at the worldwide box office, but there are also films that fail miserably. That begs the question, "Why?"

Maybe it's simply because films that don't succeed in the world aren't meant for the WORLD, for mass viewing and insanity? Maybe it's because these films are designed for the hearts and souls of people who enjoy every repeated viewing, because any episode of such a film can only bring pleasure to that which we have somewhere deep inside, that which we rarely give freedom to, that part of our body That part of our body that is capable of feeling, and not just feeling, but feeling deeply, so that sometimes a lump comes to our throat, tears pour out like a hail, but not the tears that our mothers used to shed when watching an Indian film, but others, from the category of miracle, of magical purity...

No one beats his fist with a revolver in his hand, there are no rivers of blood, no rude and empty speech, no filth in these movies, which people often try to pass off as love. There is real love here, pure as a mountain spring, there are real feelings, built not on the word "take" but on the word "give.

It has everything that literally or figuratively shows us our world, it has everything that we lack, that perhaps we can't have... These films give us real pleasure, they are a rest for what we often forget - our soul...

And I would refer "The Legend of the Pianist" to the category of such "soulful" films. A film that one reaches for and reaches for at such moments, at those rare moments when our body is controlled by all the good that is in us, that we let loose, throwing off fetters from our heart, at moments of pure feelings and FREEDOM OF SPIRIT!
