The pianist

Welcome to another great monday in which we talk about: movies based on real stories.  Today we will be talking about "The pianist".

This movie, in general context, is situated particularly in a time referring to the Second World War, when Nazism and racial hate to Jewish were expanding themselves through Europe, causing the so-called Holocaust. In the middle of these critical situations of that age, the plot is centered in the life of a Polish young pianist, who was born in Poland, Jewish by birth, which was a problem to Germans. That is the reason why he fled from his home, leaved his family and abandon his beloved profession as a pianist; to survive he must hide behind the debris caused by the war itself.

For me, what I like the most about this movie is that the story behind the scenes is real, and despite of the difficult situations that the character has to face, the movie tells a story full of hope and love for good music of an excellent pianist.

You definitely have to whatch it because you´ll learn a lot about the history of the conflict that occurred in World War II; also it is also possible that the film makes you want to cry,  and always take into account that it was a real story of a great pianist of that age.
