Lonely Pianist is a 2007 Italian film directed by Riccardo Milani and starring Kim Rossi Stuart and Jasmine Trinca. "The Lonely Pianist" tells the story of luca's sadness and guilt when he was young in Africa to witness the death of his mother in a car accident, destroying his life, but the power of music redeems him.
In the film, after listening to Luca play Bach's works in the entrance examination, the professor of the Conservatory of Music designated Luka to play was Rachmaninoff's prelude to C minor, whose flexible fingers and powerful rendering power were fully revealed in the song, which was different from the neatness and precision of Bach's works, and the interpretation full of personal characteristics seemed to temporarily free him from the shadow of his mother. Composed in 1892, the song became a hit after its debut at the Moscow Electricity Exposition and became a must-have piece for Rasch' everywhere he went, and his over-performances made him hate the piece to the extreme, but it became a favorite piece played by modern pianists. The first theme is solemn, powerful and gloomy, and has been called The "theme of destiny" by posterity; the second theme is inspired by the bells of the Moscow Kremlin.
Some people say that music is not bound by any form, can penetrate any copper wall, even if the body is not free, the mind is absolutely free in the world of music. Can music really redeem life? Or is music the coincidence and extension of the tragedy?
"The Lonely Pianist" allows us to see two sides of the same music: subject to music, but liberated from music. The film begins with the pianist opening the lid and ends with ten fingers fluttering on the keys and a knowing and melancholy smile, telling the legendary life of Luca Flores, the "Italian jazz pianist", who is legendary because of the moving jazz music that blends with folk style, and becomes a masterpiece because of the suicide of a 38-year-old hanging beam. His music was initiated by the melody played by his mother because she missed her husband, and in Bach's prelude to the average law F minor, the mother and son found a common snuggle, and this kind of understanding made the mother frequently look at her in the rearview mirror and laugh when she drove the next day, and then the tragedy occurred, because the distracted driving car slipped, the mother died on the spot, the guilt lingered in the heart of little Luka, and Bach's prelude became a tight curse, until the entrance examination of the conservatory, a Rahmaninoff prelude liberated him, He was favored by jazz musicians and has since embarked on the path of jazz.
Sharp, has always been Luca's nature, his sharp and honest words, more hurtful than simple sharp, a sentence "Our music has not communicated" broke up the first group, a sentence "We are not a family, you have the greatest responsibility" to freeze the father's birthday atmosphere, a sentence "How do you know that it is my child?" Prompting the girlfriend to take away the child, this is how it contains the most authentic sharp words, stabbing the people around you everywhere and stabbing yourself even more, and finally before being overwhelmed by negative emotions, he uses a roll of cassette to confess to his father, and in the self-created song "How Far Can I Fly", fly to the end of life.
