Unable to portray the point of the movie

Rating: 7/10 (25 October 2014)

The movie opens up with the German attack, then there is some kind of love or whatever scene between the lead and some random girl (who appears next towards the end). Then it shows some family drama. Again here there is no much insight given to the lead so it becomes to rack what is being shown and why it is being shown. I was lost for most of the time during the first half. The events occur very quickly and the tension is slack. You would not fell any kind of tension during the first half because it just shows some random events occurring to their family members and some children. It seems more like a cliché. Well apart from this, the most irritating thing for me was the relation of the lead and his brother. The brother was not happy with the pianist , OK I accepted that fact but how did this contribute to the story. I felt these all scenes were just added for the sake of inclusion of drama in the movie. But it did not go well with the plot.
The second half shows the struggle of the pianist which was again badly written. The screenplay was too slack. There were numerous scenes of fading to black and they were noticeable because it was just a 30 seconds scene and then it fades to black. That thing gave me a very disgust feeling.
But the film redeems itself in the last few minutes but still all those things were expected. Overall the events does not fuse itself well in the movie. It is based on a true event, I accept but surely does not deserve a place in the top 250.
