The Pianist (2002) - 7/10
This is about courage in the face of adversity. The sort of courage required to approach a girl, far out of your league, and to have the balls to ask her if you could buy her a drink. The courage to stand there and take the punishing rejection as she looks at you like something that she's just trodden in, shocked that you had the audacity to even speak to her. The sort of courage required to walk back to your mates and to laugh it off, despite your soul having just been crushed... Or the sort of courage to survive, as a Jew, living in Warsaw during WWII.

I cannot believe this movie slipped through my net, absolutely loved it, from beginning to end. Adrian Brody's performance is second to none and I dont think I've ever felt more sympathy for a middle aged male character ever before. The movie is a sort of cut down diary of the famous Polish pianist, Wladyslaw Szpilman over several years during the Nazi invasion of Warsaw and it's so deep, deeper than a Amsterdam whores love tunnel.. Seriously tho, free yourself for 2 1/2 hrs and immerse yourself.
