List of musician's movies - for storm jailbirds

as seen or recommended by fuling... everyone is welcome to add to this list:

Legend of 1900 ! (ha, my favorite, watched the 6th time last weekend)

Amadeus (biographic movie of Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus, Fuling and I had different perspectives about this movie, she saw miserableness of a talent's life, I saw more the triumph of genius towards mediocrities in the end with time lapsing )

Shine (story of a boy genius pianist and "Rach 3")

The music lovers ( art and life is a paradox... I knew this movie 'cause I read the communications between Tchaikovsky and Madame Meck, you can see it, I'm always more interested in affairs associated with art than art itself :D )

The Red violin (what was the story? I saw China's culture revolution was involved...)

Hilary and Jackie (we've talked enough about it)

The pianist ( more war and normal people's survival than music)


A song to remember ( an old movie about Chopin, I remembered this because it was once widely showed and aded in Tsinghua, with deputy Priminister Li Lan Qing coming to Tsinghua to watch it together with Tsinghua students. I even remember in the press release afterwards, there was a cliche sentence " Priminister Li was touched to tears", hoho. though it's a good movie. )

In checking for the correct name for this movie, I found another Chopin movie, which was somehow more related with the romance between George Sang, her daughter and the musician. heihei, must be more interesting. La Note Bleue should take a look during the spring break.

FROM NUO

The Piano

should be on the list too. Though it's more about a woman discovering her sensuality than about piano, hehe.

Two more related Chinese movies

和你在一起，2002. Directed by 陈凯歌 (available in blockbuster now in the title 'Together')
A story about a talented boy, struggling between the lure of fame and the seek of true music spirit. Excellent violin performance.
