They have been rowed ashore, along with Ada's piano, to meet a local bachelor named Stewart ( Sam Neill), who has arranged to marry her. The film opens with the arrival of a 30ish woman named Ada ( Holly Hunter) and her young daughter, Flora ( Anna Paquin), on a stormy gray beach. It is a story of shyness, repression and loneliness of a woman who will not speak and a man who cannot listen, and of a willful little girl who causes mischief and pretends she didn't mean to. It tells a story of love and fierce pride, and places it on a bleak New Zealand coast where people live rudely in the rain and mud, struggling to maintain the appearance of the European society they've left behind. there’s a silence where no sound could also be within the cold grave under the deep, deep sea."The Piano" is as peculiar and haunting as any film I've seen.
“There may be a silence where hath been no sound. We leave the film with the Thomas Hood quote from his poem “Silence” which also opened the primary scene. The movie ends with Ada describing her life with Baines in England, where she gives piano lessons because of a silver finger that has replaced the one Alisdair severed. As she sinks deeper and deeper Ada features a change of heart and kicks free in order that she will be pulled back to the boat. He obliges, but because it sinks she loops the ropes attached thereto round her foot and follows the piano underwater. Whilst they’re being rowed bent the ship Ada tells Baines to throw the piano overboard because she is doing it a disservice by being unable to play. Alisdair is so enraged that he returns home carrying an ax and chops off Ada’s finger to deprive her of playing the piano.Īfter she recovers, Alisdair dissolves their marriage and both Ada and Flora are sent away, leaving from an equivalent beach that they had arrived onto.
Flora is unhappy about this infidelity and takes the key to him instead. She agrees but sends Flora to ascertain Baines and deliver a piano key inscribed with a love message. He elicits a promise from her to not visit with Baines whilst he’s gone. Alasdair becomes angry when she pulls faraway from his touch. He discovers them together and boards up his home with Ada inside when he goes bent work on his timberland. After learning from Flora that Baines listens to Ada playing but never features a lesson himself, Alasdair finally realizes that there’s an attraction between them. Ada’s playing arouses Baines to such a degree that he approaches her openly in an attempt to possess sex with her Ada cannot fight her desire for him and that they roll in the hay.
