The movie was very hard to watch. There were many emotional and traumatic scenes in the movie and it was filled a lot of heavy and heart wrenching material. This movie will have a lasting impression on me. Not only because it was so inspiring to watch his story and have him survive but because this is apart of my background. I know that sounds kinda emotional, but I have family and family friends who have personally lived through this and watching what happens makes it more real to me.
I think that Hosenfeld saw faith in Szpilman. He survived over two years in hiding when so many people were being found, tortured, and killed every day. There is something admirable about what he accomplished. He never gave up and he always kept fighting. Szpilman lost everything and Hosenfeld was aware of that. I think the piece he chose to play spoke to Hosenfeld making him want to see Szpilman survive. There are many people who were apart of the Nazi party. Some joined because they didn't want to be ridiculed, ohers for work, and some because they genuinely did not like the jews. I think that deep down, Hosenfeld felt that what they were doing was wrong and never really had a chance to show his true feelings until he found Szpilman on his own. If he was followed by others, I don't think Szpilman would have survived that day by the piano. I think that Szpilman realized that there was something different with Hosenfeld because unlike many others, he didn't kill or harm him right then and there. He allowed Szpilman to show him what he was capable of and prove that he was not a waste of breath.
