Los Angeles Times, 10/29/1999, p.C2, "...THE LEGEND OF 1900 is a beautiful and venturesome companion piece to the director's beloved CINEMA PARADISO, for both are deeply moving affirmations of the power of the imagination..." USA Today, 10/29/1999, p.8E, "...Pleasing to the eye..." Box Office, 11/01/1999, p.150, "...A wonderful journey....Eye popping production values and a bracingly romantic score..." Distributor NoteFrom Giuseppe Tornatore, director of the Academy Award-winning "Cinema Paradiso," comes this magical fable of an extraordinary man who lives a remarkable life without setting foot on land. Abandoned atop a piano and raised by a lowly crew member in the bowels of a luxurious cruise ship, the boy is dubbed 1900 for the year he was born. As he grows up, he is drawn to the piano and discovers he has an amazing gift for creating music. The prodigy dazzles the passengers, and his reputation spreads around the world, with record producers clamoring to capture his magic. But he refuses to leave the ship to pursue promised fame and fortune. Only when he spots a beautiful girl on board does he become determined to join the outside world and live a normal life. But is that the life he really wants? With a beautiful score by Academy Award nominee Ennio Morricone (Days of Heaven, The Untouchables) and heartfelt performances by Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction, Planet of the Apes) as 1900, Pruitt Taylor Vince (JFK, Wild at Heart) as his trumpet player pal and Clarence Williams III (Purple Rain, Reindeer Games) as jazz legend Jelly Roll Morton, this lyrical, transcendent film will strike a chord in your heart. Release NoteDVD Features: Product NotesThe story of an individual who is born and raised on a ship, learning about people and the outside world through interactions with the ship's rotating passengers, THE LEGEND OF 1900 comes from director Guiseppe Tornatore. When a deckhand, Boodman (Bill Nunn), discovers a newborn baby on January 1, 1900, he Christens him Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon 1900. A freak accident takes the life of the older Boodman, and 1900 (Tim Roth) is looked after by other members of the ship's crew. As he grows up, he learns to accept the crew as his family and the ship as his home. A glimpse of an individual playing a piano intrigues 1900, and before long he's a well-accomplished adult pianist. The legend reaches land and eventually earns 1900 visits from Jelly Roll Morton (Clarence Williams III) and a member of the music industry who wants to record him. The song that 1900 plays is dedicated to a beautiful young woman (Melanie Thierry) who threatens to lure him off the ship. Sheepishly, he stays. All of this is told in flashback, remembered by 1900's despondent friend Max (Pruitt Taylor Vince) as he prepares to pawn his trumpet. When he discovers that the ship is about to be sunk, he is convinced that 1900 is still on it somewhere and the frantic race is on to save his friend.
