The Piano

Movie: The Piano
Click on Poster for - The Piano.
There might have been many times in your life that you'd be asked the same question over and over again. Recently while registering for friendster(yes, i've just registered under kevinnow72@hotmail.com) and also for this blog, i have been asked this question: What is your favourite movie? Well, it has to be this one.

It is a 1993 movie . Starring Holly Hunter as the woman who became mute after being traumatised by his husbands death(strike by lightning) and Anna Pacquin(Rouge in X-Men) as her 10 year old daughter. Both won an Oscar for their marvellous performance.
I remember watching this movie with my friend Alice Jiang Jiang who is now married and living in London. We exchanged thoughts after watching this movie and was deciphering, what could've certain contradictions and actions meant. I do that also, after watching Sex And The City(for the first few seasons) with my friend Peter.

But what i also really liked about this movie is the soundtrack. I have always been a great fan of the music instrument, Piano. Throughout this movie, you can hear the piano playing on almost all the tracks of the background music. It was really memorable and touching. After that, i bought the movie soundtrack, the VCD, even the book(of course i didn't finish reading it. haha). But 12 years after seeing the movie, i still could hear the soundtrack lingering in my ears. I bet you might have heard this before.
