如果有人生必看电影清单，相信像《海上钢琴师》这样的经典影片一定榜上有名。
影片开头，落魄小号手麦克斯走进一家乐器店，他意外发现店主竟有一张自己好友的音乐唱片，由此引出一段传奇往事。
1900年，往返于欧洲大陆与美洲大陆之间的弗吉尼亚号客轮抵达美国纽约。司炉工丹尼在头等舱的钢琴上发现了一个被遗弃的婴儿，丹尼为他取名为1900。在丹尼的悉心照料下，1900在船上慢慢长大，钢琴成了他最重要的“玩伴”。船上乐队的小号手麦克斯与1900成为朋友。1900行云流水的钢琴演奏令船上的
客人感动不已，他的琴技甚至“打败”了当时最有名的爵士钢琴家。虽然1900未曾登上过陆地，他的指尖却弹出了全世界。后来，1900爱上了一位女孩，他本打算跟随女孩下船，去纽约这个“新世界”闯一闯。但在步下扶梯的那一刻，他看到喧嚣杂乱的城市，决定返回弗吉尼亚号与钢琴相伴余生。
听完麦克斯的讲述，乐器店老板说弗吉尼亚号即将被炸毁，麦克斯急忙上船寻找1900。终于，在一个角落里，麦克斯见到了老友。1900说起自己不愿下船的原因：钢琴的88个琴键有始有终，他可以创造出无限的音乐。但是城市就像一个拥有无限大键盘的钢琴，他根本无法演奏出自己的乐章。
影片最后，随着一声巨响，1900的传奇一生与弗吉尼亚号一同消失在蔚蓝的海上。1900年，旧秩序维系下的欧洲大陆尚处于黄金年代，而位于世界另一端的美国则呈现出“新世界”生机勃勃的景象。在串联起新旧两个世界的弗吉尼亚号上，1900出生。世人不可遏制的贪婪引发了经济危机和世界大战。虽然在影片中这些历史背景仅一笔带过，但影片中所有人的命运都与时代息息相关。旧秩序最终像弗吉尼亚号一样走向消亡，而1900则因他的纯粹、淡泊与坚守，令他的音乐超越时空，成为不朽的经典。

精选对白
情境介绍：由于服役年限到期，弗吉尼亚号即将被炸毁，麦克斯劝说1900下船开始新的生活。
1900：Hey Conn, what’s the matter? You lo your a legs? Where the hell did you find that record?
Max：What have you been up to all the years? 1900：Making music.
Max：Even during the war?
1900：Even when no one was dancing anymore, even when the bombs were falling. And I kept playing till the ship got here.
Max：Call this a ship? It’s more like a mountain of dynamite（炸药）about to explode. A bit dangerous, don’t you think?
1900：And you, Max? Where’s your trumpet（小号）? Max：I gave it up as well, a while back. But, you know, now I’m in the mood for starting again. I’m busting with new ideas. Let’s start a duo, you and me. Or our own band. The “Danny Boodman T.D.Lemon Nineteen Hundred Big Band”! It gets the blood going! We’d be a smash. Come on, Nineteen Hundred, come with me. Let’s get off. We’ll watch the fireworks from the pier, and then we’ll start from scratch. Sometimes that’s the way you ha
ve to do it. You go right back to the beginning. “You’re never really done for as long as you’ve got a good story and someone to tell it to.” Remember? You told me that. Well, what a stack of stories you got now! The world would be hanging on your every word, and they’d go crazy for your music. Believe me.
1900：All that city, you just couldn’t e an end to it. The end! Plea? You plea just show me where it ends? It was all very fine on that gangway （舷梯）and I was grand, too, in my overcoat. I cut 1900：嘿，康恩，你怎么了？晕船了吗？你在哪儿找到那张唱片的？
麦克斯：这些年你是怎么过的？1900：演奏音乐。
麦克斯：战争期间也是吗？
1900：即使再也没有人跳舞，即使炸弹不断落下，我一直都在演奏，直到船到了这里。
麦克斯：你还管它叫“船”啊？它更像是一大堆即将爆炸的炸药。你不觉得待在这里有点儿危险吗？1900：你呢，麦克斯？你的小号呢？麦克斯：我放弃了，有些日子了。但现在我挺想重新开始的。我满脑子都是点子，我们演二重奏吧，你和我。我们可以组建一个乐队，就叫“丹尼·布德曼·T.D.莱蒙·1900大乐队”！想想都激动，我们会名声大噪的！走吧，1900，跟我下船。我们在码头上看船被炸飞，
然后我们从零开始。有时候就得这样，回到起点，从头开始。“只要你还有一个好故事和一个愿意听故事的人，你就还有机会。”记得吗？这是你说的。想想你现在有多少个故事啊，全世界都迫不及待地想听，人们会因为你的音乐而疯狂。相信我。1900：那座城市，你根本无法看到尽头。拜托，你能不能让我看看它的尽头？那天在舷梯上，一切都很好，我感觉也很棒，穿着那件大衣，的确很帅气。我是真的打算下船，这不是问题所在。阻止我的不是我

quite a figure. And I was getting off, guaranteed. That wasn’t the problem. It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn’t e. Can you understand that? What I didn’t e. In all that sprawling city, there was everything except an end. There was no end. What I did not e was where the whole thing came to an end, the end of the world. You take a piano. Keys begin, the keys end. You know there are 88 of them, nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite, you are infinite. And on tho keys, the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by. You get me up on that gangway and you roll out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions of keys that never end. And that’s the truth, Max, that they never end. That keyboard is infinite. And if that keyboard is infinite, then on that keyboard there is no music you can play. You’re sitting on the wrong bench. Christ, did you e the streets? Just the streets. There were thousands o
f them. How do you do it down there? How do you choo just one? One woman, one hou, one piece of land to call your own, one 所看到的东西，麦克斯，是我看不到的东西。你能明白吗？城市不断蔓延，包含一切，除了尽头。城市是无穷无尽的，我就是看不到，到底哪里才是这一切的尽头，世界的尽头。拿钢琴来说吧。琴键有始有终。你知道有88个琴键，谁都不能否认。琴键是有限的，你才是无限的，你在琴键上创造出的音乐才是无限的。我喜欢这样。我可以这样生活。可我站在舷梯上，在我面前铺开的，是一个巨大的琴盘，有几百万、几千万个琴键，无穷无尽。事实就是如此，麦克斯，琴键无穷无尽。那琴盘是无限的。如果琴盘是无限的，那么在那个琴盘上你就无法演奏音乐。你坐错琴凳了。天啊，你看到那些街道了吗？光是街道就有成百上千条。你要怎么办啊？你要怎么选出一条街道、一个女人、一栋房子、一块属于你的地方、一片你可以欣赏的风景、一种死去的方式？整个
世界的重量压在你身上，而你根本

Land is a ship too big for me, it’s a woman too beautiful, it’s a voyage too long, perfume （香水）too strong. It’s music I don’t know how to make. I could never get off this ship. At best, I can step off my life. After all, I don’t exist for anyone. You’re the exception, Max. You’re the only one who knows that I’m here. You’re a minority . And you’d better get ud to it. Forgive me, my friend, but I’m not getting off.不知道尽头在哪里。想到这一点，你不害怕自己会崩溃吗？在那个世界上，生活是多么沉重的负担啊。我出生在这艘船上，世界经过我的身边，每次航程只有两千人。这里也有人们的梦想，但那些梦想不会超出船头到船尾的范围。你可以尽情表达欢乐，但钢琴一定得是有限的，我只学会了像这样生活。陆地？陆地对我来说是一艘太大的船，是太美丽的女人，是太漫长的旅程，是太浓烈的香水，是一段我不知道该怎么演奏的音乐。我无法离开这艘船，大不了，我可以离开自己的生命。反正，对世人来说，我并不存在。你是例外，麦克斯。你是唯一一个知道我在这里的人。你是少数分子，你得接受这个现实。原谅我，我的朋友，我不会下船。
