Very good movie about a man with a passion

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2006)

This was a very good movie. The director was Roman Polanski, he does a great job of showing the characters emotion. If the character is nervous then you'll see them twittering their fingers. This movie reveals the tragedies of the Holocaust, and really makes you mad at the Nazi's. I have nothing against people that are formerly related to Germans. But, it shows the German's as basically animals. Yet it does show that some of them have compassion. Just like there are good and bad Germans, there are good and bad Americans.
I want to start out by saying I'm in my early teenage years, and this is the second R rated movie I am allowed to see. I wasn't freaked out by the violent aspects of this movie, but this quite a disturbing movie. Polanski does a good job of showing the hardships of the Jewish people of Europe. It has some intense action sequences.
I play the piano, and have been playing it for eight years. I kind of relate to the piano player in it, he has a passion for it, and he was taken away from it due to the war. I find that disturbing. The piano playing scenes are incredible, and I don't know if Adrien Brody was actually playing, but whoever was I give a standing ovation while sitting down.
