The Pianist (2002)
Adrien Brody deserved this Oscar!
This film was done with such incredible taste that I almost couldn't believe my eyes. Wow, a great movie recognized, with a great story, great acting, and no trash? Sounds impossible! It was absolutely beautiful and it touched my heart as well as my stomach in parts, if you know what I mean. It truly shows the hardships of the people during WWII, their suffering, and their pain. You truly feel with the main character, and for the families in this film. Adrien Brody was outstanding, his transformation through the film is out of this world. He was well worth the Oscar. The film also presents an interesting twist in parts. I found it overwhelmed with my interest all the way through. The film, the music, and the pianist were superb!
La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano (1998)
Immense
I loved it! It was a beautiful story, and the main character was a beautiful soul. I just love it when a director or a writer takes a chance on films like these, and doesn't drown it in the crap a lot of films that a lot are being made of these days. The character of Danny was great, so unique and deep. I felt a connection with his mind and heart personally. Tim Roth really made me give him a second glance, mainly I believe because of this very film and now I am big fan of his work. I don't want to give any spoilers or tell you anything other than it is a wonderful tale with music that touched my heart. I had even planned on using one particular piece of music from the film in my wedding. But instead my husband and I have a nice homemade cd to cherish together. If you want a different way of looking at life, or if you are like myself and see it in a certain light, I'll bet you will enjoy this film. The artist at heart surely well. I hope to direct and act in stories like this someday myself, hopefully even be able to work with Tim Roth, he is very under rated in my opinion.
Captives (1994)
Has Potential
I have only seen this film once, and I must say I was a bit disappointed, but I do need watch it again once more to make sure. The accent made it a bit hard to hear clearly at all times, but the acting was absolutely great on Tim Roth and Julia Ormond's behalf. I feel the story could have been better, the beginning had me waiting for more. The romance was beautiful and it was refreshing to see Tim in a lover's role, he was lovely. The scenes that have together are passionate and tantalizing. They tease the audience wonderfully. Although it twisted a little to my dislike later, (I may change my mind after a second viewing) I enjoy the performance between these two actors immensely. I have to mention I am a big fan of Tim Roth too. :) Any other fans wanna chat, email sometime! All I can say for this film is I believe it has a lot more potential and they could have rocked it better.
