Unflinching and Oscar worthy

Rating: 10/10 (20 October 2014)

This was so good, not exactly uplifting but just an amazing story I couldn't take my eyes off of. This movie has been based on Szpilman's book and directed by Roman Polanski with Adrien Brody giving his Oscar winning (and worthy) performance of Poland's most acclaimed pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman and his horrific, unflinching view of life as a Jew in 1939 Warsaw under Nazi occupation.
The fact that he survived through this time is miraculous, heartbreaking and not to be forgotten. Brody is just amazing here, losing a ton of weight and just captivating as his family is rounded up and shipped off to the Nazi labour camps and he escapes, spending years living in the ruins of Warsaw.
Adrien Brody won best actor Oscar for his role, I was just remembering his Oscar speech, its really amazing too, you might remember him kissing Halle Berry. 08.11 (2)
