The Piano, Jane Campion, Kate Pullinger The Piano is a 1993 New Zealand drama film about a mute piano player and her daughter, set during the mid-19th century in a rainy, muddy frontier backwater town on the west coast of New Zealand. It revolves around the musician's passion for playing the piano and her efforts to regain her piano after it is sold. The Piano was written and directed by Jane Campion and stars Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill, and Anna Paquin in her first acting role. The film's score by Michael Nyman became a best-selling soundtrack album, and Hunter played her own piano pieces for the film. After a long voyage from Scotland, pianist Ada McGrath (Holly Hunter) and her young daughter, Flora (Anna Paquin), are left with all their belongings, including a piano, on a New Zealand beach. Ada, who has been mute since childhood, has been sold into marriage to a local man named Alisdair Stewart (Sam Neill). Making little attempt to warm up to Alisdair, Ada soon becomes intrigued by his Maori-friendly acquaintance, George Baines (Harvey Keitel), leading to tense, life-altering conflicts.تاریخ بینش: ماه می سال 1996 میلادیفیلمی درام به نویسندگی و کارگردانی: جین کمپیون، و محصول سال 1993 میلادی؛عنوان فیلم: پیانو؛ کارگردان: جین کمپیون؛ تهیه‌ کننده: جین کمپیون؛ نویسنده: جین کمپیون؛ بازیگران: هالی هانتر (در نقش آدا مک‌گراث)؛ هاروی کایتل (در نقش جرج بینس)؛ سَم نیل (در نقش الیستر استیوارت)؛ آنا پاکوین (در نقش فلورا مک‌گراث)؛ موسیقی: مایکل نایمن؛ فیلم‌برداری: استوارت درای‌ برو؛ تدوین: ورونیکا جنت؛ توزیع‌ کننده Ciby 2000نخستین تاریخ‌های انتشار فیلم: روز نوزدهم ماه می سال 1993میلادی (نمایش در جشنوارهٔ فیلم کن)؛ ماه آگوست سال 1993میلادی (نمایش در استرالیا)؛ مدت زمان: 121دقیقه؛ کشور: نیوزیلند؛ استرالیا؛ فرانسه؛ زبان: انگلیسی؛ مائوری؛ زبان اشاره بریتانیایی؛ هزینهٔ فیلم هفت میلیون دلار؛ فروش گیشه 40,157,856دلار؛ ا. شربیانی

As director Gus Van Sant observes in the introduction to Matt Damon's and Ben Affleck's screenplay Good Will Hunting, the two young actors somewhat resemble the characters they play in the film: they're best friends, and Affleck (who plays Chuckie) habitually chauffeurs Damon (Will), who doesn't drive. Van Sant says we can see how badly Damon drives by watching the film's last scene, in which he is actually driving the car with the camera mounted on it. But Damon and company write better than he drives; this script contains some of the boldest, best monologues since Pulp Fiction.Van Sant and cast member Robin Williams helped the young actors tame the tigers in their cranial tanks, trimming the script into a precision instrument. Though the stills from the film are not perfectly matched to their places in the script, this story remains as much a joy to read as it is towatch on the big screen.

Quentin Tarantino - director of "Reservoir Dogs" and writer of "True Romance" - won the Palme d'Or for best film at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival for "Pulp Fiction, " his unique vision of the underworld, starring John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Samuel Jackson, and Harvey Keitel. Taking his inspiration from the popular, and often lurid, "pulp" crime stories of the thirties and forties, Tarantino intertwines three narratives and introduces a variety of fascinating characters; thick-witted hit men, a double-crossing prizefighter on the run, his absent-minded French girlfriend, the hit men-hiring mob boss, his exotic but drug-addled wife, and two young lovers contemplating a career change - namely whether to start sticking up restaurants instead of liquor stores. Full of wicked humor, dazzling dialogue, and riveting action, "Pulp Fiction" is a master screenwriter's look at today's Hollywood and its dark criminal culture.

4 ½ stars. Worthwhile read about a woman escaping a physically abusive husband. Fulfilling feeling at the end.I saw the movie years ago. The book is better. One part of the movie annoyed me - stupid frustrating act of the mother. In the movie Martin visits the mother in a nursing home pretending to be a cop. He tells her that he needs to contact Sara to warn her about something with Martin. The mother stupidly tells him where Sara is. The book is different and better on this part. Sara does smart things. But Martin also does smart things to find her.This book does not have much suspense until the end. But I liked it the way it was. If you want suspense and terror, read Stephen King’s Rose Madder which I loved.I did not like what happened with Martin at the end. It was too convenient. I wish the author did something different to achieve the same end. But the ending was happy.At times I felt like the author’s mind was wandering. A character is thinking about the environment, the smells, the sights, the feelings. Some of that was good, but some could have been cut. Some of Martin’s thoughts were too repetitive.I love the plot of Sara taking action to change her situation. I was surprised that she nearly starved while waiting for her first paycheck. Weren’t there any food pantries or shelters? Was there a reason she avoided them?I liked that Sara initially loved Martin, but after they married he changed. That happened to me twice.Something I enjoyed, but it had very little to do with the plot were conversations about literature with happy vs unhappy endings. A couple of those follow. “Fellini says he never wants to make a film with a happy ending, because then people will go home and never change their lives. On a subconscious level, happy endings fool us. We think our lives will turn out nicely without our help, like the movie.” Mrs. Eaker said. “I like easy books - escape in them, you know? Murder mysteries. Historical romances.” “Do you really escape into them?” Sara asked. “Or are you just watching the characters do this or that, but when you’re through the world hasn’t changed at all for you?”Me, I’m like Mrs. Eaker, I want happy endings. I wonder how many other readers make changes in their lives or the world after every book with an unhappy ending?DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length: 322 pages.
