On Saturday night, I watched the movie The Pianist. If you are looking for a nonfiction totally true movie and about the holocaust ,I highly recommend this. The Pianist won three awards: best director, best actor and best adapted screenplay.The movie is so unbelievable, I could not imagine the events in the movie really happening in our world sixty-nine years ago.
This movie takes place in Warsaw, Germany where Wladyslaw Szpilman and his family are rich Jews living in a very high populated town. Wladyslaw is a famous pianist for the Warsaw radio station. He experiences Warsaw getting attacked as well as his radio station by German bombs.He went home from his destroyed station, to find that Great Britain and France declared war on the Nazi. Wladyslaw and his family cheered, for they thought this war would be quick,little did they known it became about a seven year war known as, world war ll. As the war began, the Nazi became stronger and stronger gaining control of the Jews. the Jews had to start wearing the Star of David on their arms, had curfews and there were places where no Jews were allowed. About a year after the war, Wladyslaw and his family was forced to pack and move to the ghettos;they could not communicate with the world beyond the walls that took their lives. Here Wladyslaw and his family witnessed horror and desperation for they hoped that one day this would all be over. A few years later Wladyslaw got split up from his family he was scared that he might never see them again. Now his worries were more towards surviving without letting the Germans know he was a Jew than thinking about his family. The only thing that could help survive the cruel years of the war was his strong love of music.
