He looks like Ethan Hawke

he is a legend. Living legend!

Emptiness without God

looking for the scene when his sister is playing piano for the radio station, can anyone give a dude a link

"I have no inner feeling" Well at least the guy's honest! As a female I really appreciate that😄

I played this at Madonna House after a priest begged me to and it affected him as he really loved this piece. i didn't make any mistakes.

favourite scene in one of my favourite films

2:20 Love the irony of her tone as if she a therapist addressing the patient in that drab, nearly condescending clinician manner, later becoming offended, indignant by his lack of feeling.

Beautiful quote in the last Palme d'Or, Anatomie d'une chute

He played as though he were chopping wood. With fury and a purposeful unsubtly like a man eyeing Chopàn from outside the window with a frank and roving gaze. But not one of ardor. Just bored and perverse regard.

I had no idea Nicholson played! Amazing!

Movie nameeeee

beautiful scene....what bothers me is when they pan towards the music rack, what's shown is NOTHING like what he is playing.

My dad is from the same generation as Jack and Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Bobby Deniro, and my old man died years ago. How are all these old farts still alive? Because of their status and money do they get access to special cancer drugs???????

This scene encapsulates the character. He is a man of depth who absolutely cannot connect with others. He's alienated from anyone who wants closeness, exemplified by the final scene in the film. Intimacy of any kind repulses him. So, he reveals his depth and immediately negates it afterwards to avoid any real connection. Quite a script.

They couldn't get the right score?

wats the name of the piece?

He shouldn't have pooh-poohed her compliment

This is brilliantly written and filmed scene- scanning over the family pictures as Jack plays Chopin with controlled emotion produces a very powerful moment in this film. This movie remains one of my favorites

The complexity of the two characters expressed in a simple scene. Beautiful and magnificent. You feel for both of them. Who is able to do this today?

What a loser....

Nicholson's performance in this film is probably the greatest depiction of the archetypal angry young man that I've ever seen. He's brimming with so much talent but so much frustration, a man who could probably do anything he wanted with his life but can't find anything he truly wants to do. The contrast between his rough, swaggering exterior and the beauty and gentility of his piano playing is so wonderful and striking and this scene in particular, showing all the faces of his relatives as he plays, really exemplifies the weight of the stifling familial legacy he's struggling against.

This film affected me deeply...Jack Nicholson did such an amazing job in this...his character is complex and unlikable

To prepare for his role, Jack Nicholson undertook piano lessons from Polish concert pianist Josef Pacholczyk

In Boston there are many music schools. They're really quite wonderful. Around Boston Symphony Hall there are FOUR of them . . . (New England Conservatory, Northeastern University, Berkley School of Music, Boston Conservatory, and of course . . . Boston Symphony Orchestra). I would attend recitals and other offerings quite often. Just loved the heck out of it. I was homeless there (even in Boston winters). One evening during a piano recital (a Korean girl it think) I stayed in the back row and looked at a newspaper while listening. I can multi-task. A female in the row in front of me acted as though I was sin because of my looking at a paper. I've seen them with score books following along with a performance . . . but a man sleeping in snow could not seek an avenue out because their perfect serenity would be disturbed. Woman, do you know your name? Do you know who provides the heat for your auditorium and the black door man telling me to "Feed your head."?

She was conning him . . . so he hit the road.

One thing i like about this scene is that this is how I imagine most Artist and musicians are. They play a song so much that they can play it like nothing. And when someone comes along and hear them play it, the listener is gushing and praising them and the musician is probably like "dude i play this all the time and it's just another song at this point"

Just wondering why he keeps looking at the music sheets on the piano. 🤔🤔 It's a completely different piece... 😆😆

Apparently a lot of people believe Nicholson is actually playing. No, it´s Pearl Kaufman who is credited as the pianist in this movie. But Nicholson does an excellent job mimicking, which isn´t as easy as you might think if you're not a pianist.

This film is a beautiful slice of americana, about a forgotten part of america. People whos hopes and dreams are never quite realised. A beautiful piece of work.

God, this scene is brutal

Was Jack the one actually playing though ? Even if he wasn't is still great to watch time and time again

Can he really play the piano?

This scene always rakes back through my memories; memories of my grandfather's playing. Especially Chopin and Debussy. My grandfather was always critical of a player's mindset when he or she floats through some of these very haunting pieces. "You must always be careful while playing, - careful that you do not become emotional". Was it 'emotional' ? Perhaps his thoughts were - 'too emotional', or indeed, not becoming emotional 'at all' ! This statement of his forever bothered me. Music is a language, it is indeed a communication from a player to a listener. The greatest of human creations is that of language. Russian, Arabic, Chinese, English. Hieroglyphics, Mathematics, the Sonnet. The Electrical schematic, The Computer Algorithm, Morse Code, and of course, - the Musician's Prelude - are all, every one, - a language. A communication of some meaning, from the efforts and intent of one mind to the eager impatience of another. From where within a person does it come ? To be sure, - to 'like' a piece of music is to illicit a prescribed response. Undoubtedly, there are those I'm sure, be it listening, or those of which the page of script brings about an admiration entirely couched in a piece's structure, cadence, or overall form; a marching, - or military piece of work may be an example - and these are hardly 'dry' - 'inspirational' would be the better word. But to my mind, - the profound sadness or agony of a person's heart or soul 'must' be communicated, and such an effort is indeed written. Without even seeing the sheet of music or looking at the player, - you can 'hear', - you can 'feel', the message, the delivery, - the 'meaning' of a composer's intent. I can play a bone-dry 'secular' piece of work, as if I were dictating - or programming a algorithm. But I personally cannot play some certain agonies of mind and spirit, - a destruction of soul, or the utter ruination of the heart, without that near loss of consciousness, - the tortuous murder of a heart - as if being helpless while cruel devils claw at, slowly disembowel, and utterly destroy all of what I once was. So, I guess my grand- father and I will be playing very different venues.

Loneliest protagonist ever portrayed.

He actually learned this song though! That's impressive.

Brilliant piece of Cinema.

The guy playing it didn’t play with sensitivity. He went so far as to use portamento instead of legato in order to emphasize the detachment. He Used rubato so it wasn’t machine like, but the timing was not effective. Cool player. He knew we’d get it.

This movie catapulted him into stardom, even more than Esy Rider. Brilliant.

omg on so many levels. I don't know if Nicholson actually played the piece we hear, but there is so much said in the performance. His performance is very repressed and almost rigid. All the notes are there, it's played technically well, but it's holding back the emotion, almost afraid to dive deeper into the cathartic nature of this Chopin piece. Just like the character Bobby Dupea, this piano performance reveals almost nothing about the pianist, and yet we sense that there is a lot in there being held back. The woman, Catherine who is herself a musician, sees that repression and that's what moves her--not any outright emotional display but the fact that he's holding back is what gives her pause. She's moved because she feels sorry for him. But Bobby immediately ridicules her because he knows he's been called out and he feels vulnerable. This piece is impossible to play without revealing something of yourself, no matter how hard you hold back as Bobby tries to do. Throughout the movie he's avoiding things and running away from his past & present. But in this scene he's forced to confront everything (symbolized by the slow parade of photos on the wall). Whoever played the piano here (Nicholson?) did such a great job of expressing that repression, that avoidance of emotion while at the same time losing the battle. From a musical point of view, this scene is absolutely fantastic.

3:12

Jack's at that place trying to vindicate a script acted out in real life first to test its metal and it's metal and much appreciated by those that can use that scene to describe their dad.

Bravo.

This is the beautifulest scene I ever seen

Did he really play this?

CHOPIN OP28, PRELUDE 4, HE PLAYED IT LIKE SHIT
