1900: Decades
built 341 days ago
As the 1900's faded into the dark, many realized what the decade had done for them. For some, it had given them a new home. For many, it had given new ways of transportation. One of the most popular things ever made. It was a new age for many; a new start, a new beginning.
During this decade newspapers changed to the four-column, tabloid style paper in 1900. Two newspaper magnates, William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, turned producing newspapers into a war when they began adding special sections including sports and multiple frame cartoon strips. The Christian Science Monitor was founded in 1908.
Three decades later, a down-and-out jazzman named Max (Pruitt Taylor Vince), who is about to sell his beloved trumpet, discovers in a dusty English music shop the only remaining recording of 1900 playing the piano. Max is haunted by the sound, not only by its beauty, but because he knew 1900 years ago. Thrust backwards into dizzying memories, Max begs the shop owner to tell him how he came upon the "impossible" record.
