The Pianist
You might have noticed that I’m pretty far behind in films. At least I’m catching up.
The Pianist was quite good and quite sad at the same time. From my reading and my education about the Holocaust growing up I feel it brought those teachings to life which made it feel more real and more personal. At first I thought it was going to end in the Warsaw ghetto uprising and make that the whole movie, but instead it had room to go and brought about one tragedy after another. Yet the spirit of the main character going on kept the film from getting too overwhelming on the down side.
