One Word; Amazing!!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2003)

I just saw The Pianist for the first time last night and I just want to start off by saying it was fantastic. It's a complete perfect 10 in my opinion. I love movies and was really excited when I found out that it was coming out on DVD so I went to the video store and with my luck there was one copy left on VHS. I got it, watched it, brought it back, and went to Best Buy and bought the DVD. I love movies and I have to say that this is one of the best movies I've seen for a long time. It's actually one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. Adrien Brody was amazing and he deserved the oscar. This is the first film I've seen of his and I'm telling you this, it won't be the last. That man has got some amazing talent. Every time I watch a movie about the holocaust I think to myself god I can't believe that something that horrific happened, I found myself crying harder at this film than any other movie I've ever seen. This movie really sticks with you too, hours after watching it I still can't imagine how terrified those poor people were. I am thankful that I never have had to go through something like that myself and I think a lot of us should be more thankful for the lives that we have. Movies like this should really be used to educate people on the consequences of one's hatred. If you are a historical drama fan, a Roman Polanski fan, or just a movie fan in general see this movie. It won't only entertain you, it will educate you and make you feel for all those people whose lives were taken from them so unjustly. It will make you feel grateful for the life that you have.
