one too many

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 2003)

spoilers. I do want to like this film. I have high hopes when I enter in the cinema after hearing so many good things about the film. But I can't help myself from thinking that this idea had been done once too many times. There are just too many films made about world war 2 and the Nazis.

I personally did not feel that the concept of the main character being a 'pianist' is very necessary to the plot structure, (they don't have a very close link), and also I felt that Brody did a good job, but I think Jack was better in schmidt. I did not really get into the film's emotional side, there were many graphic scenes, people are shot at close range, and people jumping out from buildings. As usual, we will see that the Germans are evil enemies and one of them will be nice just to prove the point that not all are bad; a plot devise also used too many times.
Good film, if this is made few years ago, maybe it is better. I perfer Life is Beautiful more than this film.
