The Pianist, by Roman Polanski, could be definitely viewed as a survival and resilience sob story, in that it strongly highlights the Holocaust. Adrien Brody embodies the role of Władysław Szpilman, a Jewish pianist desperately trying to survive Nazi-occupied Warsaw. The raw realism with which the film depicts the brutalities of war only gives the audience moments of warmth due to Szpilman's attachment to music. Brody's Oscar-winning performance is perhaps one of the most transformative performances in cinema history. Recently, The Pianist has been acclaimed for sparking conversations concerning art's power to preserve hope when all seems lost.
