The Pianist

This movie is one of a kind. Not only it is historically accurate (perfectly accurate, then again, that's why Polanski is most known for), but the best part is that there isn't actually a war hero, which I really find annoying because in a war there is no hero, so it's also realistic. Even though we love Adrien Brody's character and he's the one we follow, this movie is not specificallly about him, his role is to be our eyes. We actually see the whole war, the tortures, the deaths, everything, but from the pianist's eyes. We step on his side right away of course, but because it's inevitable if we have a heart and a brain. And the nazis are murderers and cynics, but that's what they actually were/are. So it doesn't show good and evil of a war, it shows reality, history. Apart from that, it's very well done and original (thank God, because if it wasn't it would be a documentary :P). The music is amazing, the cinematography and art direction are excellent, the adapted screenplay is magnificent. And most importantly, Adrien Brody is simply exquisite. One of the best performances I've ever seen, really memorable. I love him and I love his nose!
