Movie Watching: The Pianist

Stunning.Even I shudder when I thought about the heavy atmosphere of World War 2 formed by millions of bleeding flesh and tormenting souls.I start to rethink about meaning of "happiness" ...and you,you know, just think about the our life.The fact that we can sit in front of the table and lift our spoons and chew a mouthful of rice is...heaven to them.I refuse to watch this as a film.It is a reminder, a reminder to be deeply etched into our mind:war is cruel.From this film,I saw how German soldiers forcing residents of ghetto(including a handicapped old man) to "Jew dance" in front of others,shouting "Schneller! Schneller!" [English: Faster! Faster; how they intruded an apartment and ordered all the family members to stand up and tossed the wheel-chaired grandfather down from 3rd floor balcony to the pavement due to "disobeying the order"; how they randomly pick workers out of the line and made them laid on the floor with bullets served(Particularly disturbing about this scene is that the officer runs out of bullets on the last man (Szpilman's friend) and has to stop and reload his gun before shooting him same as the others A starving old man robs a starving old womans pot of food, she screams for help and then watches the man run off it with is which makes the food fall to the floor. The man bends down to eat it, while the old woman is sobbing hitting the man with her purse. and even worse,they gathered the non-productive generations-old folks and children of the Jews to be "purified"...really,history of the Jews are soaked with blood.In the film,the director don't speak.He patted our shoulder and pointed to the film,"look, this is how our ancestors struggled and victimized. The main character of this film is a famous polish Jew pianist,Wladyslaw Szpilman's memories of event.Adrien Brody portrayed Szpilman is a victim of war.there's no hero in this film,rather,this film reflects the shallowness of those action movie where hero stood last and unharmed.This film is not an entertainment.And remember,the lesson of life was to remembered by we so that in future,we will not repeat the same mistakes
