Don’t misunderstand about the title I’ve made above. Honestly saying, I have nothing against Adrien Brody playing the main character as a person who plays the piano. What I’m trying to point out is that the story itself is just not all about the piano. The movie “The Pianist” is a movie directed by Roman Polanski and is an adaptation of an autobiography of the same name.
There are plenty other things that involved in the movie. For example, the main thing about the movie is war. The war seems obviously shown in the movie. The war revolves around the German against the Jews community. What can I conclude here is, my post this time will go against my last post because right after I watched the movie, my perception changed. Not practically changed by the way, but more to confusion. Because I’m clueless on which sides should I believe?
Which sides do you want to believe?
After I’ve read the article that has been written by Hitler himself earlier, I was just about to believe that the Jews are the actual betrayer. But after I’ve watched The Pianist, I’m dazed. The Jews have been severely treated. Until up to one point, I couldn’t bear watching how bad they were treated. And I keep asking myself until today, how bad the Jews were until they could be punished that way.
Maybe I wasn’t born in that era to witness and to observe myself what were the real situations. Because everyone was against each other back then. Everyone wanted to survive for living. They don’t care about any other things anymore. Like the main character,, he had tried so many things and sacrificed in losing his family in order to survive. It was all different back then. People were strongly goal driven. They’d do anything to get what they want.
Fairly, this movie is such a strong movie and now I know why it earned so many notable awards at film festivals. The movie totally deserved it. If only I was there to see myself what the real situations back then, it would be easier for me to judge who’s wrong, who’s right.
