The Piano

Reviews 2009. 6. 12. 04:26

This was this movie I was searching, not the Pianist.
I finally remembered that Holly Hunter was in the movie, watching one of her shows on TNT,
and borrowed it from Netflix 2 months ago,
and I finally finished it.

Holly Hunter plays a mute, who plays Piano.
She's gone to Australia with her daughter to marry Sam Neill.
Sam could not take care of her piano,
but Harvey Keitel takes the piano, and gives Hunter permission to play piano in his place while he can "look" at her.
Keitel falls in love with her but thinks she is there only to play piano. To fulfill his desire, as Hunter plays pinoa, he does not only listen. He sniffs at her clothes, touches her, and finally has sex with her. 

Feeling guilty of making his love a whore, Keitel returns the piano.
But guess what, Hunter falls for Keitel, too.
(Some might say "awwwww", but it's most crooked thing about this woman).
Hunter realizes that she missed Keitel's presence as she plays piano, and realizes that she also fell for him.

Their affair is easily discovered by Neill, who gives Hunter another chance for Hunter.
As Keitel leaves Australia, Hunter intends to give a key off her piano, but Neill finds out and cuts of her finger in anger.
A well-deserved act. It could be cruel, but during those early times, I think something barbaric is a given.
She was seducing Neill only to get a chance to see Keitel again, when Neill was trying to make a living for the family he owns.

Neill finally lets Hunter go along with Keitel.

On the sea, Hunter demands to drop the piano into the water, and she joins the plunging piano with herself.
How selfish of her!
She was giving up everything she had just to make herself feel good.
She gave up new love she found, her daughter, she hurt her husband and even decided to hurt everyone else just because she was not in the mood.
But she again found herself scared to die, and finds herself out of the water.

She perhaps lived with Kietel and her daughter happily ever after,
but I was disturbed by the selfishness of this woman.
Being a mute is not an excuse to be whatever she wants to be and to hurt everyone else.
I was upset in watching this movie, perhaps because I could emphasize with Neill, but still it showed a treacherous and wicked side of something called love and how it's easily men can be dominated and victims of it.

4/5 for making me so empathetic with it.
