The Analysis of the Movie1.1 The Brief Introduction of The Legend of 1900The movie The Legend of

These two world wars threatened the survival of human being and the human dignity had been trampled in the war. The
18、 post-war economic depression and various social problems deepen the psychological shadow of human and shaped a general sense of crisis. And the existentialist philosophy was started in Germany in 1920s and flourished after the Second World War. Existentialism was very popular in 1960s in Europe and
19、 has spread to 1970s. The time is very close to the youth of the original author and director; both of them were born in the late 1950s. It is very normal that great masters literature and art concepts were affected by this philosophy trend.1.1.1 The Background of the StoryIn 1890, the United States
20、 had become the worlds number one economic giant. And the per capita income in the United States was more than Europe in 1900; it had become one of the tyrants of the world economy. At the same time, the worlds scientific centers transferred from Europe to USA. The United States had become a paradis
21、e for dreamers and gamblers; they came from every corner of the world, looking for wealth.In 1900, nearly 14% of 76 million people were born abroad in USA. And the immigration was a crucial element to make the United States economy maintain strong. In the first decade of the 20th century, there were
22、 more than 100 million immigrants flew into the United States by sea each year. This is the background when the pianist was born; he was also an abandoned son of an immigrant.In the movie, the only friend of the pianist named Max asked him whether he was still playing in the war. And the war referre
23、d to the First World War. World War I broke out from August 4, 1914 and ended in November 11, 1918.In the First World War, the United States accepted orders from a large number of countries. From June 1914 to June 1917, the foreign trade surplus of the United States increased from 430 million U.S. d
24、ollars to 3.56 billion U.S. dollars. Up to 1919, there were more than 20 countries in the world borrowed money from the United States. The financial center of the world had begun to transfer from London to the Wall Street. In 1933, pianists friend Max went to pawn his trumpet. And the background was
25、 that the economic crisis had begun in the United States after the collapse of the stock market in New York, and quickly engulfed the entire capitalist world. Early in 1933, more than 18,000 banks deposited totally 41 billion U.S. dollars, while the inventory of cash were less than six billion U.S.
26、dollars, and radically could not cope with depositors withdrawals. Up to early March, more than 6,000 banks went bankrupt and the American public was in a panic. Products had been piled mountain high and could not been sold at all. At the same time, there was a significant reduction in the number of
27、 the oversea immigrants. And this year, the pianist sacrificed his own life for the ship.Under the intensification of the economic crisis, a variety of basic contradictions begun sharpen increasingly. And in 1937, World War II broke out.1.1.2 The Introduction of the HeroA boy was abandoned in a stea
