The Pianist

Overall, I enjoyed the movie The Pianist. Some of the times the movie was hard to follow. To make it through the Holocaust and come out  as a new person is incredible and  very inspiring. This movie impacted me greatly and I think made an impact on others. I would think that not all of the Nazis were horrible people and that some of them had good intentions in them. As shown in the movie, they all did horrible things, but some of them were forced to do that and did not mean to be as cruel as they make themselves be. Hosenfeld was one of those who had an incredible heart and wanted good things to happen to people. Just like Szpilman, he was another human being. He was able to see Jews how they really were. Hosenfeld was one of the good ones that existed at the time and not many people were able to see that by his actions but inside he truly meant good things. Szpilman had no choice I think in trusting Hosenfeld. Hosenfeld had asked him to play the piano and he listened. If Hosenfeld really wanted to kill him he would have with no hesitation. At the end, Szpilman had no choice but to trust him even if he thought it was not the right decision and towards the end of the movie, Hosenfeld truly showed that he can be proven that he can be trusted.
