Good movie...

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2003)

but I don't think Brody deserved the Oscar. I didn't think his character was outstanding enough to win. Any movie about the Holocost always is sympathetic so people think it is so good. While this was good, Schindler's List was so much better. Brody just doesn't do enough to have received any awards. The movie shows a lot of horrific tragedies suffered by the Jews. We see many people killed for no reason. The first part of the movie is about the segregation of the Jews and the round up to be sent off. Szpilman is saved by a friend and ends up surviving rule under the Nazis. They are shown going for a march and at any moment, a German guard may pick out several Jews and shoot them. Szpilman escapes and relies on friends on the outside to hide him. They eventually leave the city and he is own his own to survive. The best part is when he gets the chance to play on the piano for the German. He finally got a chance to do what he loved when before he could only pretend to play the piano because of the noise it would make.
FINAL VERDICT: This is the type of movie everyone should see to appreciate what they have today and learn a little history of what people had to do to survive during WWII.
