The portrait in the movie

The portrait in the movie

A weird headline you would say, well yeah it is. The think I like most of it, it’s that it doesn’t give anything away so you may stay and read all the entry and discover what’s about or at least I hope you would. It’s well that some movies are based on real facts, real things that happened to some people; even some movies that illustrate bad events have a background that it’s not fantasy. Knowing this feels sort of sad, doesn’t it? Knowing that reality can be terrible too is a really sad thing, but we are here- alive- to deal with it and try to make the best out of everything even bad situations.

On note to that we can put an example out there: “The pianist” that is a “Roman Polanski's heartfelt and high-minded Holocaust movie - based on the true-life memoir of Polish pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman” (Bradshaw, 2003) so you’re probably very well aware that this movie in particular portraits the journey of a man –jewish- who tries nothing but survive the horrendous atrocities of the time (World War II).

The real question, though is it accurately portrait? Yes, yes it is. You may think “you don’t know for sure you haven’t experience anything like that” and it’s true, but in reality we all can say it’s a good representation of the events, not necessarily because it’s based on a real life story, but because it illustrate what the human kind is capable of doing and how terrifying things can actually become. So yes, “The pianist” is a great movie that demonstrate how much suffering occurred to those people in those times.
