amazing and poignant

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2003)

I saw this movie and fell in love with it. the plot wasn't as well developed as I would have liked but the acting was absolutely amazing and the directing was brilliant. I'm really glad that the makers of this film decided to forgo the most famous actors and use actors who were just as fantastic and who could make us focus on the character and not on the person playing it. This movie moved me to tears and i was amazed by the way Roman Polanski could make me feel as though i was there with Szpilman. I also thought it great that through all the brutality, there was a glimmer of hope. i would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who believes in the triumph of the human spirit.
