I loved it

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2015)

I loved this movie and I really recommend it to all who are interested in history and human destinies. Also if you like Schidler's List, you will like this one too.
I usually don't like movies without good dialogue. This is an exception. I was so fascinated by this one that I sat still for 2,5 hours.I didn't have subtitles, but luckily I understand a bit of German, so I could follow these discussions as well. I think anyone could watch the movie without understanding German, so I hope no one has passed the movie because of that.
There were many scenes without any dialogue. Still these scenes could tell the story and were meaningful, but also interesting. The viewer is able to feel the grief that Szpilman feels during the movie - all the humiliation, starve, thirst, loosing family and so on. I found it very interesting to see how Szpilman's confidence changes during the years - how he gets kind of weaker and surviving by using his primitive instincts.
I wasn't familiar with Brody's act, but I was so impressed by it. No wonder he won the Oscar. How he changes his physical performance was amazing. He makes the viewer feel Szpilman's sorrow. Like I said before I don't usually like movies without talking, but Brody made the movie so interesting. He really can act and speak by using body language and facial impressions.
Things that made me so sad were to see how the Jews seemed to be very submissive to the changes and how they were treated, and also the destiny of the good person in the end.
