I agree, I'm so confused because what I understood from this movie was that this woman has to marry a man she doesn't love, they keep the thing she loves away from her and she can only get it back by getting objectified by another man, and when her husband discovers this he abuses her as well, it made me feel so angry and I don't see anything beautiful about it (except for the song, but that's played over and over again)
@@TheFanDubFan I think the film perfectly captures the experience of being a woman, feeling sexualized and powerless in a world where the patriarchy controls our autonomy. The discomfort you felt is intentional. The color grading (almost black and white) that is how she sees - like the keys 🎹and the repetitive music reflects her singular focus: her desire to play “the piano”. It’s bleak to mirror her inner world. Ada’s muteness is a powerful metaphor for how women are often silenced (and how, even today, we’re forced to choose between our careers, art, relationships, or motherhood. I deeply relate to that because my art is everything to me, I am just as obsessed with my craft. If I were denied the chance to express myself, like Ada was kept from her piano, I’d feel just as desperate. Art isn’t here to make us always feel comfortable; it’s a black mirror, reflecting society as it is, not as we wish it to be🖤
I also love here how the male roles are crafted. Her husband is, on the surface, cultivated and even, at times, sensitive. Still, underneath lurks his real self, violent and unwilling to understand her needs. By contrast, Baines is uncultivated, illiterate and his approaches to her are molesting at first. But he quickly comes to respect her autonomy, and his approaches get more appropriate in time. Look how gently he touches her arm when she plays the piano (even if this is still not ok). And look at how he finally agrees to pushing the piano over board at the end of the movie: he clearly does not understand her wish, but he respects it, other than her husband who just left it at the beach. The different handling of the piano, which is in fact the symbol for Ada's autonomy and feelings, shows which of those two men respects her needs and freedom.
The Piano is not a good movie. It is not as good as the world says it is! The reason why it is R rated is because of the sex scenes. How can a movie with music in it be R rated like this? Why is it okay to have a kid in an R rated movie like this? The Piano is having people criticize and gossip about each other so the movie will get away with not being criticized and only receive positive comments! Well, guess what! This movie does not deserve the love or the positive comments it gets! This movie sucks! One of the reasons this movie got awards and nominations is because of the sex scenes and music in it! That was not okay for this movie to exist! The Piano is an awful movie! People only like this movie because of the sex scenes! I will make sure this movie is criticized, gossiped, ridiculed, and be rattled about like it had people do that to each other! I will destroy this movie like it had people do that to each other! The Piano is a menace of film history! The Piano is a bad movie! It is worse than Purple Rain! This movie blames criticisms on people and other films that are better than this film! This movie is not and never will be better than any other films in film history! How could people like this overrated garbage movie?!
When I think of true beauty captured on film, I always think of The Piano.
It's a masterpiece.
Art in the highest form. Everything about this film is brilliant.
Yes, a story of a woman falling in love with a sexual predator is quite brilliant,.
I absolutely love this film. So well done.
Beautiful film.
Greatest film of all time!
Love this Movie! ❤️😻

I think this movie is terribly overrated and not feminist at all.

@@glitterboness Thank you for taking the time to explain. It was very interesting to read, and it makes a little more sense to me now :)

One of the most overrated movies in history.

Agree with you 💯
@@nonymous396 Thanks. People only like this movie because of the sex scenes. Especially the oral sex scene, worst scene ever.
It is about the pain that lives in the sound of silence, the freedom that lies in silence-the silence, the silence, the silence……
@@doveflyer1636 I have no idea what you are talking about, but you are in the wrong!
