The Pianist
I dont think any other film really hit me like this one.
From the very beginning it felt hard to watch knowing it wasnt just a stroy but a tragedy that brought suffering to millions of jews.
You get pulled into the story very fast and root for him to get make it out alive, and yet he managed to surprise me on how he really survived that all. This effect gets amplified by Adrien Brodies performance, which changes drastically both physically and emotionally.
The scene that hit me the hardest was when the german soldier told him to play the piano. You can hear all of his pain, fear, and suffering in the music, and seeing the expression on his face while he plays makes it even more heartbreaking.
An unforgettable film for sure.
