Legend of 1900 - Playing Love

Scene from Tornatore's "Legend of 1900" with Ennio Morricone's song "Playing Love"

[@DesmondNgHuttons]

I wish I can learn to play like this and play it to my wife forever

[@ancacornelia]

i'm watching this again with tears in my eyes..

[@SzokkozS]

one of the most beautiful melodies I have ever heard....perfection!

[@karlalexander8181]

Never has a scene captivated my heart as such..

[@maatx06]

A story written by an italian writer (Alessandro Baricco), a film directed by an italian director (Giuseppe Tornatore) a song composed by an italian compositor (Ennio Morricone) and played by an italian musician (Gilda Buttà). This is my country: Italy.

[@michsturge]

As much as I have always admired and respected Ennio Morricone as one of the dozen or so truly great film composers, I feel the score is his masterpiece. The music reflects the poignancy of the individual scenes and the drama as a whole with a degree of perfection achieved by the greatest operatic composers, including Wagner! The film contains so many wonderful scenes, but I think the final shot as Max leaves the music store and walks up the alley with his trumpet affects me the most.

[@FablesForThought]

I just absolutely love how the piece changes its nature as soon as 1900 sees the girl. Almost a musical embodiment of him fancying her. :)

[@19TOFY58]

Morricone's work always raises the bar of ost's...definitely love this one from the moment i watched the film, gives you that Mellon collie feeling, the movie is oh so great.

[@mera136]

Ennio Morricone is brilliant. I love all his compositions.

[@Doug19752533]

as a pianist and composer myself, a man's tallent is his and his alone to do with what he chooses. there have been many to wanted me to do other things with my music but its just their own selfish interests they have in mind even if theyre not aware of it. they think what they want is the best thing for you. 1900 made the right choise, because it was his alone to make.

[@Hirome_Satou]

This part is so touching.. It makes me cry sometimes :). It's probably the best movie I've ever seen, they need to come out with a whole new award to fit this movie lol, forget the OSCARs.

[@Hirome_Satou]

This film makes me cry every time I watch it. It's a truly touching story, and the best part about it is that it's so believable, for a long time I thought it was a true story. This song is just beautiful, if ever there was a song that could symbolize love, this would be it.

[@kevvegas]

It is nice to see that people appreciate this move as much as I do. This is movie making at it's best.

[@markmusicman]

Her name is Melanie Thierry and she is beautiful, She also played in Babylon A.D and some other French movies where she looked awesome!

[@Elegia3]

Notes of tenderness,passion and something heavenly ... And his glance, he just LOVES with that glance...

[@muxica123]

what an insipiration 1900 was..i wish my name was 1901 ^.^

[@blackjackjeeves]

The joy I feel in seeing there are so many Legend of 1900 fans is amazing... I saw this film and just felt some sort of connection with it. Very touching film, from start to finish. Thank you very much for the upload of this, it's easily in my top 3, if not #1, from the movie!

[@bondmus]

I just saw The Legend of 1900 for the 2nd time. Takes my breath away each time.

[@venusazem]

one of the most beautiful moviev i´ve ever seen! music by ennio morricone is absolutely amazing!!!

[@censacrof]

it reminds me of chopin, great film, awsome soundtrack

[@pauladi82]

One of the best mouvies from the world. Congratulation to all the cast and the director of this...Just Great!!

[@randyandy1960]

one of the best movies in the world, so under rated...along with the Count of Monte Cristo

[@jajdr]

this movie was surprisingly very good. some people go through so much in their lives

[@jimena31]

Each time I watch this scene I cry. The way he speaks through his music, he transmits peace but at the same time loneliness. There couldn't be a better name for that song!!!...WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE!

[@heavenlybeing87]

man!!!! i'm still mesmerized by this song even though i've heard it many times. How do they even come up with the jazz intro to that?? it's crazy

[@opermaze]

The most beautiful movie I ever watched.

[@Jachim992]

This movie ... As T. S. Eliot said : ``You are the music while the music lasts``. So I wanna feel like I`m a ship and 1900 lives in my mind.

[@MajeDisHere]

its hard to explain what you want to say sometimes .... this song make all my feeling and memories come out from there graves . i love this song so much but i dont like how i feel after i listen to it .

[@dorucompostoru]

amazing cinematography

[@Bflatblues55]

Oh my gosh ... how touching. Thanks so much for posting this! Wow. (thank you to cheeks1004 for sharing it)

[@Sophieihpos_]

i ADORE THIS FILM AND MUSIC !

[@dominikst0703]

Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent..

[@TheBeethoven2]

this is the best actor-pianist than i never known.maybe falling in love or just admirate a young beauty it's politiquely incorrect, this is just a movie,but the music is real!!! and the interpretation too!!!That is make my hart like a marshmallow:)

[@rivkajazz]

I have this movie on DVD. It is so terribly sad. The ship was the only home and reality he knew. The piano keys, making and playing music was infinity to him whereas living on land in the "real world" would have its limitations.He said to his friend and I'm not quoting here, something to the effect of, "How can I live in one state, in one city, in one house, on one plot of land and stay married to the same person forever and forever?" The thought of that sounded finite.

[@ReminiscenceHr]

I come from a small town by the Mediterranean coast. This song describes falling in love on a windy September afternoon, falling in love with life.

[@SkepticalMetalArts]

Thats really a beutiful song.

[@bartacsilla]

it's so beautiful

[@willberain]

wonderful-wonderful movie!

[@EnzoCostas]

tambien quien no se puede ispirar en medio de la nada .encontrarse con semejante bellesa . es algo q paraliza de tanta hermosura

[@Kissakiss22]

I love this song!!! Amo esta canción y la acabo de scuchar....que profunda!!

[@melinahewson]

I LOVEEEE his face while he's looking at the girl in the window. I love u,man..

[@alexis11factor]

i remember watching this when i was 10 years old

[@van40dtown]

speachless 5 mins after i listened to this....

[@carmallriela]

Its the best film... im in to it went watching it... hmmm... nice and wonderful song....make me thinking someone that i know long time ago... Huurrmmmm.....

[@oceanzoulou]

this guy does not play the piano, he makes it cry

[@xinyanyang2175]

beautiful

[@Toxination1]

What an emotion!!!

[@makowsky642]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Chickidee09]

sigh............. I think I just fell in love with him from hearing that... It seemed very unusual to me at first, but I ended the video in love. :D

[@eliminiamo74]

i love .....

[@RicoLucky1]

I saw your post I think you will love this!

[@MStellarium]

If love was music, it would sound like this...

[@WaltThiessen]

We saw it, but I agree that we're among the few.

[@19TOFY58]

very moving indeed!

[@MixedThemesTM]

awesome!

[@marcedelpili]

Es absolutamente preciosa.... para mi la mejor parte de esta historia...

[@haim1144]

she is so beautiful!!!!

[@SokratisVotskos]

Gilda Butta who plays the piano for these recordings was married to the great jazz pianist Michel Petrucciani!:)

[@OlTubazar]

@ZoePappas Thank you for your astute observation. The music makes the movie complete. It's the only part of the world where he feels at home, even when he's sailing around the dance floor during the storm. And it's his offensive weapon against the taunts of Jelly Roll Morton. His theme is the double time solo section when with the band and the beginning of the Love theme

[@cdiaz55]

@ 0:56 sounds like Bill Evans song Peace piece! a beautiful song!

[@MaxAndDaisy0825]

dammit i was at the point of crying dammit i am. so beautiful.

[@JRRDPR]

To me it was more like playing the tunes About her.Like playing music and there are people with the ability to paint the colours belonging to each tune on a canvas.

[@minhtrinh9889]

Damnn, I started to cry when he looked at her

[@gusarovda]

It is very similar to Rhapsody on the theme by Paganini - Variation no.18 (S.Ravmaninov)

[@lilsis]

I just saw this movie!!! It was inspiring. I have a question though.. the scene where he tells the girl that he knows her father. How does he know him? I know I've heard the line "voice of the ocean" somewhere in the film too but can't quite remember who said it exactly. So who is the girl's father? And can Tim Roth actually play the piano well?

[@soultitude]

What i didnt understand was how someone could live in that ship during the war and post-war seeing that the condition of the ship when max found him was screwed up.

[@gigabruzinho]

Ennio Moricone is so great composer and arranger !!! I found a beautiful version piano solo of this music by Gilles Gambus. just type gilles gambus on the search line and look for " the legend of the pianist" and please enjoy it !!! there is some others videos very nice too !

[@L0rdSaint]

@EddyVitkauskasXband Exactly man but i dont blame markmusicman, some people have never felt this feeling before and they dont know that every person shows this on his own manner... so they think it's perverted instead.

[@sgebert]

@oceanzoulou I guess that's what was on Van Gogh's mind, too.

[@rivezzi]

a great piece! Does anybody have the original sheet of this song???

[@helmut4lyfe]

I love this movie. I wish they'd hire pianists as actors though... I hate watching piano scenes where the actor doesn't actually play piano, kind of takes me out of it :(

[@FabiodiBiase]

does anybody know who's playin piano on this track? Is Gilda Butta ?

[@wilfred0203123]

please send me a music sheet for this...tnx..=)

[@siusherry]

who got the mp3 ?

[@superflavioisaraj]

@Lortagreb how do u know

[@Hirome_Satou]

No, it's Mélanie Thierry.

[@laybackrockguy]

Where can I download this music sheet?

[@athirataullah7106]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllyyy....shiiiitttt...

[@filipDim]

27 , to be precise

[@Morphexing]

now is 17 people

[@MrBudrake]

yes but 13 againts 2100 is quiet a little..

[@EddyVitkauskasXband]

@markmusicman I can't seem to find anything perverted about this at all. It's the manifestation of what every guy with any emotional depth feels when they see beauty and can't look away.

[@Onlyrealmusic4life]

There was a scene earlier where his friend was asking where he gets inspiration to play. This guy grew up playing the piano and said he draws inspiration from everything around. He was born on a boat and never stepped foot on land. He sees people come and go and plays his own soundtrack for what he imagines there life is like. This is a love at first sight situation in which he conveys his unfiltered emotions through a free-styled piano piece and is truly "playing love" /watch?v=_hRmlcbgw3A

[@SANTAJES]

This is one of the best scenes in the whole history of movies... one of my top ten favorites!

[@vincentc.7357]

I can't find words to describe how I feel.

[@Sunnybunnee]

One of the most heartbreaking and beautiful love story and life story that I've ever seen. Nineteen's character performance was inspiring. What a sleeper hit of a movie.

[@socgeo]

his piano playing/ acting is really convincing. I thought for the longest time roth could play piano lol.

[@rsvp9146]

this brings a tear to my eye every time

[@xiaoyiting3770]

Till now,I've watched this movie 7 times. And I watched it twice in one night and early in the morning. I saw the sun rising.I can hardly describe my feelings.

[@curiousgeorge555]

The best music or art comes when you love someone or something greater or more than the art itself.

[@ninka1965]

I think that music is the one of the best way to describe love...

[@MrJblund]

I have the sheet music!!! Just give me an e-mail adress end it´s yours....

[@cubanbach]

One of the greatest undiscovered love songs of all time...I am surprised that even more thousands have not yet commented on the glorious beauty of this Ennio Morricone melody....that's okay...I've lived most of my life experiencing the greatest classical music and in comparison, it's just about the same. Poor unfortunate fools that have not felt the tender stirrings of this deeply soulful song. cubanbach 1 minute ago

[@uuivy]

My favorite part of the movie

[@grannynara]

Isn't this the actor in that weekly show "Lie to Me?" I always liked him.

[@chryssanthemum]

waaaahhh .. i hate this film... huhuhuh i first saw this film way back in 2001 but still it makes me cry... i hate thif film for making me cry huhuhuh... i love tim in here :).. i love the storyline.. the irony... just love this film :)

[@quaz1957]

ennio morricone's one of my fav filmscore composers since the days of the clint eastwood westerns 1960s. he's one of the great all time composers..kudo's

[@mikiwink]

I love this movie so much (#1 for me). It's so beautiful for so many reasons. This is just one of them. I don't think a movie can get more perfect than this one (casting/music/story/everything).

[@riverzen]

No matter how many times I watch this movie it always breaks my heart because he never can commit.

[@Mananitoh]

Fortunately this movie wasn't tainted with an oscar, it's not to be leveled with many crappy films of these days.
