The Kiss that Got Us Talking

One of the most memorable moments at the Oscar's was when Adrian Brody french-kissed the gorgeous Hale Berry in front of millions, before his acceptance speech of Best Actor in the year 2003 for the movie The Pianist. The kiss was so natural and made us all "awwww..." with awe because his passion came directly from his excitement, and well-deserved I must add.


The Pianist told the story of Polish composer, Wladyslaw Szpilman and his struggle to stay alive during the events of the Holocaust and World War II, while being cast away from his loved ones. The movie was an absolute must-see for anyone who cares about history and what the cinema can do to document it. Brody's performance, along with Roman Polanski's directing joined together to create a work of art.


With out a doubt in my mind, I think it was one of the best Holocaust movies ever made, because of the focus on the specific character.


The picture won Oscars for Best Director, Best Actor and Best Screenplay in 2002.
