3 things that crossed my mind while I watched this movie.

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2006)

1. To think this didn't win best picture makes me laugh and scream at the same time. Chicago beat this and The Two Towers? You have got to be kidding me.
2. Like Schindler's List, to think this is a true story makes me sick. The fact that Wladyslaw Szpilman survived is nothing short of a miracle. Something - ANYTHING - like the Holocaust must never happen again.
3. In my comment for King Kong, I wrote Adrien Brody CLEARLY wasn't leading man material. After watching this, I realize I couldn't have been more wrong. He completely owned this movie, and it doesn't surprise me the least that he won best actor.
10/10. Right up there with Schindler's List.
