The Pianist captures the effects of the Holocaust in a real way, making it hard emotionally to watch.

I think the hardest part for me was…

happened in the right perspective. Historical inaccuracies are on point, along with the majority of what was written in Szpilman’s memoir. Although it is hard to directly pinpoint exactly what happened in someone’s everyday life, Polanski showed that Szpilman was deprived with less and less motivation every day. As shown in the film, the entire Szpilman family was put through a lot; including lack of money, sleep, and hope. As a pianist, Wladyslaw Szpilman was able to continue to play and…
