Went to see The Pianist at Manor Theatre with cubbie. Great movie... Simply said. It really doesn't seem like it tries very hard to make you cry or throw huge emotional catch phrases like other similar movies do, (It does show the brutal and inhumane nature of a war, however, pretty clearly), but as I was watching the credits go up I was just sitting there with teary eyes for reason I wasn't sure of... To be honest, I was kinda confused until the latter part of the movie as to what the fact that he's a pinaist had anything to do with his survival. I mean, he was lucky and well respected enough to have people helping him out, but I didn't think that really did the movie's title real justice. It was only towards the end that I realized why the movie has the right to be called "The Pianist". You just go watch it, I don't want to spoil anything. Like cubbie and I briefly talked about the movie on our way home and mentioned how she thinks that true artists can't be evil. I hope that's true... This world needs more artists.

UPDATE: On a related yet totally random note, did you know that Adrien Brody produces Hip Hop music on the sides, but restrained from listening to any music made past 1940 for the role of Szpilman???
