His friend and the audience doesnt know that by imitating the exact piece only by hearing once is above genius level...the pianist jolly roger was really pissed with 1900 only toying on him.
I watched this classic with my father when i was only 12 years old. And now I'm in my 30s and i still can not figure out why this Masterpiece of a Movie never made it to the big screens.
He actually doesn’t play the 2nd song identically. He dramatically improves it on his left hand by rolling up to the bass note unlike JRM who played it much simpler and easier. An awesome detail that hidden in there!
What the audience didn't realize is the fact that 1900 transposed this piece he had never heard before, in an other key... From D minor to D# minor (a difficult key) This is insane.
I love the whole back and forth: Morton starts with a simple piece, 1900 responds with a simple one as well. Then, Morton plays The Crave, probably the first time anyone has heard it and 1900 copies it, by ear, after hearing it one time. Then, Morton plays a piece that would break your fingers if you're NOT Jellyroll Morton. 1900 response? A true finger breaker. Morton tries to keep up in his mind, his fingers twitching to try and match the tones he hears but can't, drops his glass and knows he lost.
I was a 35/70mm film Projection & Sound engineer for cinemas around the world, I was installing a 12-screen cinema in Japan, the day before opening there was a VIP screening of this movie, I was there to watch & hear my work, this movie was one of the greatest made, I never saw this movie played in the States, the Caribbean, Italy, Nigeria, Guam, or on cruise ships, I only saw it played in Japan, I serviced & installed Cinema Projectors & Sound around the world. I wonder why It never made to the Big screens, it was a great movie, worth watching,

Quality is so high I thought that piano was a printer till he start playing it

You can't get a copy strike if they can't recognize the video

Good bye Ennio 😭
That movie was gold.

IT WOULD TAKE A MAGICIAN TO RETUNE THAT PIANO
1900's face during the last challenge, looked like me on the toilet every morning.
Both actors was great with piano songs played by Morricone's fingers. R.I.P.
This movie is such a gem
Such a different kind of movie, Tim Roth is a great actor. He plays such an awesome role in Rob Roy
In all the insults I have ever seen in a movie,
I've watched this scene prolly 100 times. Still exhilarating
i saw this when i was 6 and had an awakening to love every genre.
