The first film that has ever made me cry. Brilliant.

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2003)

I'll keep this brief.
This is the first film that has made me physically weep with emotion. The cast were fantastic, the story was compelling and the directing was first cast.
My hats off to Brody for a world class performance. Its so unusual in today's world dominated by big budget franchised run of the mill commercial tripe movies, for an actor to totally become their character. Brody was Wladyslaw Szpilman for this movie, and he really pulled it off.
I would advise those of you who have not seen this movie to forget what I have written, to forget what the critics have said and just rent this movie. Judge for yourself. Also, bear in mind that this is based on a true story.
10/10 - One of my all time favourites.
