this be one of those film that be very misleading w or it cover and even it basic explanation of what it about . i would not give anything away except that it show a little boy on the cover play the piano . that little boy be the star of this movie as well a the man ( bruno ganz who play hitler brilliantly in the 4 star movie downfall ) that play his grandfather . this be a terrific film in so many way . it have a great story and be extremely heartwarming . if you haven not see this or even heard of it give this a whirl . ebert give it 3 star which be a little less than what i would give it . even if you do not like subtitle ( get over it already huh . ) this be a film that you would not mind have them . if there be anything to complain about it that it might be a little too drag out in certain place . that be my only complaint in the entire film . i be keep my eye on the people involve in this very enjoyable movie to see what will come next .
