The legend of 1900!!


"An epic story of a man who could do anything..except be ordinary."

What did you think when you see the name of the film?
something happened in 1900, something legendary, and the movie tells about it, right?
I thought so too, but we're wrong! 1900 is the name of our main character. He is left on a ship, one of the crew finds him, and as it's the beginning of the new year, he calls him "1900". but his full name is Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon 1900. Danny Boodman is the name of the employee finding him, T.D. Lemon, because the baby was lying in a case and T.D. Lemon was written on it, and you know the rest.
1900 was born in that ship, and has never left it. Without being taught, he becomes a very good pianist, in fact the best pianist in the world. He is so famous that, Jelly Roll Morton, called as "father of jazz" comes to the ship to duel. and who wins? 1900, of course.
He has never thought getting out of the ship, till he sees a girl and falls in love. Max, another member of the orchestra, and 1900's best friend, persuades him to go and find that girl. He attempts to get out of the ship, but he cannot. Outside world frightens him.
Max is also the teller of the story. He leaves the ship and never sees 1900 again. One day, he finds out that the ship is going to be burned, as it's too old. Max is sure that 1900 is still somewhere inside, and tries so hard to go inside the ship and find 1900. After a while, he succeeds, and wants 1900 leave the ship. I won't tell the rest, just watch and see...

Here are some quotes that I noted:
1900: "you can get off the ship, all right, but of the ocean?"
"Land? Land is a ship too big for me, it's a woman too beautiful, it's a voyage too long, perfume too strong... "

1900: "What's a mama, Danny?"
Danny: "Well, mama is a horse."
1900: "A horse?"
Danny: "Race horse!"
