It seems to me that I saw this movie a couple of years ago. There's an erotic movie with the same name, so I'm not positive that I saw the one you're talking about. I'm rather bad at remembering directors' names.
Yeah! I've seen it. Good movie. Heartbreaking! Some of us don't know how lucky we are.
So if i get you correctly ur basically saying you saw a movie about penises. How gay.Quote:

Was it the one with Adrian Brody?? (no idea if i spelled that right, btw....). It's was pretty good, if that's the one you mean. Really sad, tho. Plus, I play piano, so I thought it was good because of that as well. Like when he was in that room, and there was a piano, and he wanted so badly to play, but you just knew that if he did, he would get caught!! I think that was one of my favorite scenes...
HOWEVER, if you are talking about a different movie, ignore me!! :)

I took a film class and we did a unit on R. Polansky.
I guess every film he makes is based on his life in one way or another. So theres a good chance that the piano player in the movie was actually based on a real person he might have known in the war.
Also i remember our teacher saying that the pianist was one of his closer to true stories.
Wladislaw Szpilman (played by Adrien Brody) was an actual pianist, the movie was taken from his (auto?)biography. I watched an interview with polansky, however, and he said that some of the scenes were based on actual things that happened to him or he saw when he was young. he actually was saved from getting on the train to aushwitz (the scene where szpilman is told "walk, dont run" was from polansky's experience).
That movie totally owns yo.
