A Truly Touching Film

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2005)

Yes, yes, everybody knows that the pianist was a great movie. However, and I am being honest here, when I heard the title, "the Pianist", I thought that it was kind of a joke, like how a person with a Polish accent (or Italian, I guess, or European) would say "penis". You know, like, "Look at-ah that kid's pian-ist!" So basically what I'm saying, is that after I watched it a second time I knew what it was about and was not so disappointed.
As for the Nazis, I pretty much agree with the movie's point-of-view, which is that they were bad. Evil, actually, is probably closer to the truth, but I'm trying to stay objective. Speaking of which, my biggest complaint of the whole movie: Where was Hitler? Okay, the movie is not exactly about what I thought it was going to be about. Fine. But how many people like me expected Adrian Brody to become Hitler's piano player and give him the old around the neck with the piano wire? I'm sure if you look around the room you will be surrounded by raised hands.
In conclusion, Captain America is a legend, and that is because in his very first appearance in comic books he knocked Adolf Hitler right in his sorry jaw; Adrian Brody, however, not only did NOT punch Hitler in the mouth, but he was perched above an enclave of Nazis for a whole week and failed to report their location to Sgt. Rock.
I was just kidding about the last part. Everybody knows Sgt. Rock was DC, Captain America was Marvel.
