In the whole film "The Pianist of the Sea", there are many pieces of music, but "Playing Love" is the most touching and convincing background music in the film, which is temporarily created by the protagonist when he first meets the girl he likes. The euphemistic and subtle style of music coupled with the youthful and beautiful girl, the picture is highly compatible with the music, and the inner emotions of 1900 are vividly expressed. At this time, the protagonist seems to be dreaming, and he is eager to move, unconsciously showing his admiration, which is fully presented in this background music.
The piece, as I understand it, is divided into two parts, the first part is a demonstration of technology. The section in 1900, which does not see the girl before, is both a casual display of his skillful skills and a contempt for the group behind him. The second part is an expression of emotion. The girl used a towel to dry her freshly washed face in front of the glass and sorted out her outfit without anyone around, this scene was seen by 1900 behind the glass, excited in the heart, the piano keys are the best to talk. The woman outside the window appeared, causing him to slow down. The beating notes seemed to greet the woman and salute. Then it was as if they were trying to get to know each other in depth. In the end, it seems that the idea of leaving the sea and going to the land suddenly came up, but they are afraid of the unfamiliar environment, expressing their helplessness about life at sea and helplessness for people who are about to lose love at first sight.
The protagonist is like a young child, doing whatever he wants in the world of the piano, playing whatever he wants, playing as much as he wants, but playing with his heart. When playing this piece, he did not care about the agent behind him. Because he is playing with his heart, only by listening with his heart will he understand the meaning of the song, and it is like satirizing the mercenary agent who only cares about money and does not understand that real art is priceless.
Zhihu shang has such a comment on "palying love": "The beginning of a neat but with a hint of discordant and anxious arpeggios conveys the irritability and uneasiness in my heart, until I look back at you, at that moment my mood is so calm and beautiful, your appearance healed my life." Probably can understand the state of mind at that time in 1990, the yearning when encountering love still has a hint of evasion, through that small window, see your most essential beauty, a kind of ignorant love quietly arrived, the world at that moment is so peaceful and gentle. ”
For the girl, the brief intersection of floating lights, 1900 is just a hurried visitor in her life, she will have her own way to go, but for 1900, this is the only light in his short life. From this light, he experienced the taste of love for the first time, and his music had a deeper feeling and a more fluid vitality. The girl's gaze, he may be thinking, who is this girl, where did she come from, how come she had never seen such a good face? The girl's movement of his keys stopped at that second. As the girl reappears in front of the window the rhythm returns to gentle and steady. At this time, he may be thinking about what kind of person she is, what kind of life she lives, where she is going..... After the girl left, the sea outside the window was raging endlessly, as if she knew nothing about the future. Just as the same teenager meets a girl, falls in love with her at first sight, and then shows the girl his strengths. His mood changes with the girl, the moment when she loses her figure in front of the window, the mood becomes lost, but it reappears in front of the girl's window again, the mood is high again, the girl's every move determines his mood, this background music "playing love" perfectly interprets the protagonist's thoughts and emotions, the background music is not mixed with any other superfluous impurities, only deep love and ignorant first love. I think that's the emotion that this movie originally wanted to express.
