I will tell you about The Pianist which is produced by Roman Polanski. The film won the Palme d’Or at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay. This film is based on things that Władysław Szpilman experienced in Warsaw. When Nazi Germany goes to war against Poland, He is a famous Polish Jewish pianist working at Warsaw radio. Nazi Germany occupy Warsaw and Jews are forced to live in a ghetto by them. Jews’ life is threatened. One day SS take Jews to a concentration camp, but he escapes thanks to his friend. He is engaged in forced labor in ghetto. When he come out of ghetto in order to buy food and see an old friends, he determines to escape from ghetto. After he escaped, Warsaw Uprising happens. As a result, Warsaw is in ruins. When he lives alone in Warsaw, he is discovered and forced to play the piano by an officer of Germany. The officer comes regularly to give him foods. The Second World War ends shortly afterwards.
I think it is very marvelous that the misery of the war contrasted sharply with the grace of the piano.
I also know The Pianist. But I haven't seen it.
