I'm a Pianist! Wait No... Guitarist (more or less)
Hey its such a coincidence that Adrian Brody is being reviewed two times in a row! But seriously folks... he is...
The Pianist
Directed by Polanski and Starring Adrian Brody
Rated R for Violence and Brief Strong Language
The Pianist kicks off with Wladyslaw Szpilman (Brody) playing very peaceful music in Warsaw for the Polish Radio when they are bombed by the German Nazis yet again (Mind you this was at the start of World War II). He is cut off from playing his music and heads home to discover that all citizens must head across the river to the other side of the city. In the end the Nazis occupy Warsaw and force all Jews (Szpilman and family included) into a small city within the city, which was surrounded by brick walls. This small city for the Jews is nothing but hard cruelty, and Szpilman must make his way to live through the war and German occupation...
This movie is pretty graphic at some part and is also pretty long (2 hours 29 minutes). But the acting was at its best, the plot (basically the plot is a true story told on account of the real Szpilman) was sweet and the music (piano, otherwise) was awesome. The movie can get pretty disturbing at points, and it can cause people to cry, or to get angry at Nazis, and it can also create mixed feelings of weirdness (yes, weirdness). Overall this movie was outstanding and it deserves a 5 stars rating.
