I watched The Pianist yesterday and found it mind-bogglingly heart-wrenching. Never have I come across a movie that can portray such musical beauty in a time of war and holocaust horror. I had to stop a few times to calm myself down, forget the torture and pain splattered all over the movie and remember what it is I downloaded it for.
The dread I feel when watching the Germans exterminate the Jews in thousands at a time, families, elderly, children, its amazing how it makes me wonder how lucky I am to live in such a poverty-free and peacefully sovereign society. Adrien Brody was fantastic. My kudos goes to him; learning the piano just for a movie is definitely a troublesome task and mainly because of the hellish practicing that has to come with it. The nocturnes/ballades by Chopin made the movie all the more easier for me to relate to how Szpilman feels when he finally plays on the piano after years of war.
