Talk:The Legend of 1900

message: "1900 merely toys with the hot-tempered Morton, beginning with a tune so simple and well known that its clear he's goading the self-proclaimed inventor of jazz. As Morton becomes more determined to display his talent, he plays an impressive improvised tune that clearly outmatches 1900's earlier attempt. 1900 calmly sits at the piano and plays the entire tune that Morton had just improvised from memory, note-for-note, demonstrating his superior skill, but again clearly mocking Morton."
Much of this is a very subjective interpretation of the cause of 1900's actions. Another stance would be for example, that 1900 at first didn't grasp the concept of a duel, if he was so intently mocking jelly roll morton why was he struck so surprised when JRM was offended? And that he simply repeated the piece JMR first played "The Crave" because he liked it so much, seeing as he was even crying about the beauty of the piece, "1900 calmly sits at the piano and plays the entire tune that Morton had just improvised from memory, note-for-note," this segment is outright wrong, he doesn't play the piece note for note, for example listen on the left hand which is playing the chords, he often rolls his finger over the keys to a new chord.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.216.164.84 (talk) 12:38, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Piano duel scene in the plot summary

message: Although they have very similar names, Novecento (shot by Bernardo Bertolucci) is not the same movie as Legend of 1900.  One is shot in Italian, and is overtly political in nature; the other is shot in English, and deals with the difficulties a man experiences growing up onboard an oceanliner without ever having set foot on land.
:: Exactly, and the book Novecento is about that movie not about this one!! └ VodkaJazz / talk ┐ 00:32, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Someone should really rewrite and rebuild this article. It's lacking clear distinctive structure, proper paragraphs and... everything else! (I'll do it in future, if I get time and if no one else has done it.) Androg 22:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Rewriting and rebuilding

message: I'm seeing the Italian poster and assuming we're using that because it was released in Italy a year before the U.S. release. But it's an English language film. I'm a little confused. So someone in Italy made a film in English that needed Italian subtitles to play it in Italy. Is it common for countries to produce films in the English language rather than their native language? Is English so widespread that the film may have been played without subtitles in Italy? Or maybe is there a dubbed version that was played in Italy? Does the U.S. (or other generally English-speaking countries) produce films in other languages? I can't help but be curious. – JBarta (talk) 05:18, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

message: The infobox notes that the music was composed by Ennio Morricone, but nowhere in the article does it note the song "Lost Boys Calling", which was sung and lyrics written by Roger Waters. Can this information be added to the article? --Viennese Waltz 09:53, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
