The Piano Reviews
the WORST love story of ALL TIME!
I was so looking forward to see this movie because it featured some of my favorite actors- Sam Neill, Anna Paquine etc. But gosh, I feel so ashamed of dragging my mother in seeing this movie with me. It was the two of the most confusing-ist, boring-ist and disgusting-ist hours of my life.
first of all this movie isn't at all difficult to comprehend, a Maori guy blackmails a mute, married woman to have sex with him just so she can get her most beloved possession, her piano back. She falls for him afterwards (?!) and her husband got jealous (OF COURSE!) and try to win her for himself, but finally gave her up. happy ending yippy!
Why is it boring? Like so many other people have said, it dragged on way too long, and the scenes are not at all pleasant.
I have NEVER been SO DISGUSTED with the nudity and the sex. Usually I have no problem with it at all and I can feel the love. But this time, GEEEEZUUUS, it's just all porn, nothing else. Why in the world would Ada fall for a guy LIKE THAT? He's rude, a pervert, has no respect for women-basically take what he want just for sex, and not to mention all-time UGLY!
Instead of a love story, it seemed to me that Ada, after having sex with the guy, was jonsing to have sex again when she was nuzzling with her daughter and touching her husband's butt (which really disturbed him, hmmm I wonder why). There was NO chemistry, just erotism.
lots of things are unexplained, as for example WHY ON EARTH did Neill's character marry her? What's with the show thingy? To be honest, Neill's character was much more sympathetic than the two "lovers" (in quote because I don't feel like they are, they feel more like "sex partners"). But in order to make him look like the "bad guy", they had him chop off a finger of Ada's-simply because else-wise (without extreme violence) his rage and anger is totally understandable. Unlike Baines, he gave Ada space to become more "affectionate" instead of just "taking" her through blackmaile. the only thing he did wrong was selling her piano, but that's only because of the pervert want to use it for Ada's body and the husband really has no money-sooooo why marry??? geeez!
the only two good thing I can say about the movie is 1. the acting, especially Anna Paquine and Holly Hunter. 2. the music, the music of the piano theme was beautiful.
And NO, the scenery was disgusting as well, it was muddy, dirty and just feel like not the place you wanna go. Also, the whole Maori situation made me have NO respect for their culture, unlike other movie involved natives have.
The piano is SO OVERRATED, that's my conclusion, I even told people if you want your kids to never have sex, make them watch this movie, they'll never want to have sex ever again.
about the movie the piano..................
This DVD film/movie is sold around Singapore videoshops and I grabbed a copy and watched....hee hee....and the story is about a mute woman where two man are interested in her and one of the man finally won her heart through her beloved piano. This DVD film/movie is recommended to those whom are interested in this genre of film/movie.
