Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Piano is a 1993 drama written and directed by Jane Campion, produced by Jan Chapman, and starring Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill, and Anna Paquin (in her acting debut).Hunter stars as a mute woman named Ada McGrath who, along with her precocious daughter Flora (Paquin), are shipped off to New Zealand after Ada's father arranges a marriage with her new husband, Alisdair Stewart (Neill). Ada leaves her native early Victorian Scotland, but brings along her beloved piano, which she considers to be her voice, regardless of her silence. Of course, Alisdair doesn't bother with the piano, and it is left on the beach. This leads to Ada's initial reticence at the marriage becoming active hostility, and things become more tense between the newlyweds when Stewart sells the piano to a neighbor, George Baines (Keitel).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Baines proposes a deal to Ada - she can earn her piano back, key-by-key, if she lets him do certain things while she plays. These "things" begin as simple as allowing him to touch her knee through a hole in her stocking, but grow into more overt requests. While Ada initially begins these lessons as a means solely to gain access to her piano, she grows to love Baines, and the two begin a clandestine affair. At the same time, Flora's boredom in the new home leads her to start interfering with the adults around her, and Ada's hatred of Stewart leads him to grow more and more frustrated as things grow ever closer to a breaking point.The film received overwhelmingly positive reviews from film critics and was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, of which it would end up winning three; Best Actress for Holly Hunter, Best Supporting Actress for Anna Paquin, and Best Original Screenplay for Jane Campion. It was also a huge box office success, as despite its small $7 million production budget, it earned just over $40 million in North America and a total of $140 million worldwide.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Not to be confused with The Piano Teacher, or The Pianist | |

The Piano / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Rape as Drama: Inverted. Ada thinks that Baines wants to force sex from her, and it really looks that way at first, but it becomes more and more obvious that he's simply having a hard time expressing his feelings and slowly falling in love with her. On the other hand, there is Alisdair... | |

And she nearly drowns after throwing out her old piano due to bad memories from said psychotic ex-husband. But she and her daughter are safe, she's starting to talk again, and is with Baines, who is a good, decent man. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Baines returns the piano to Ada before their arrangement is over, since he doesn't want her to feel like a whore and wants her to like him instead of being squicked by his mere presence. And while "beloved" isn't the right word for it, Alisdair ultimately decides to let them be together for her happiness rather than let their toxic marriage continue. | |

Culture Clash: During the play about the Bluebeard, the Māori sitting in the audience assume it's real and start saving the girls. It takes quite a while to explain them it was just a play, and it's obvious they don't really understand it. Likewise Alisdair can't figure out why he can't buy the land from the Māori - after all, they don't cultivate it nor they are running lumber operation, so why not sell their ancestral burial grounds? | |

Lonely Doll Girl | |
The Piano / int_d7d38c53 | comment |
Lonely Doll Girl: This is probably why Flora torments the dog in the first place. She has no one to socialize with, as her mother increasingly ignores her and Alisdair forbids her to play with the native children. | |

Translation Convention | |
The Piano / int_e11b003d | comment |
Translation Convention: Ada and her signs are usually not translated for the viewer and left up to Flora to explain to the other characters. Flora is often not very faithful to the original message. Then, when Ada goes to Baines after he returned the piano to her, there are subtitles to her signs when she's scolding Flora. As if it wasn't obvious without them. | |

The Piano / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator: Ada's most defining trait is probably her stubbornness. She is going to get her piano back. It's also worth mentioning that Ada is mute out of choice, and not because she was born that way. She just doesn't want to talk. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
The Piano / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Alisdair can't understand the values and morals of the native Māori. Likewise, they can't understand his. | |

Evil Wears Black | |
The Piano / int_e9a97564 | comment |
Evil Wears Black: Averted. Ada wears black dresses through most of the film, making her look all the more pale and ghostly. Which only further fuels gossips about her, especially after she ripped her white wedding dress. | |

Raven Hair, Ivory Skin/Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Ada is pale and dark-haired, but the effect this has on the other characters varies from person to person. | |
