does anyone know what the name of the holicaust movie he made.would like to watch it thank you

@76elfin That would be The Pianist. He won the Academy Award for it in 2003 and inserted many of his own experiences from the Krakow ghetto into the film, including the scene where the main character is able to escape deportation to Auschwitz with all the other people being bundled onto trains with the help of a friendly Polish police guard.

I've posted up some interview segments from the Making Of where Roman talks more about the film and his own holocaust experiences whilst making the film.

@76elfin The Pianist , I think that you're think about this one

@JeanMelkovsky or a short video version, that can't, of course, fully analyse all the aspects, but at least gives an idea of what actually happened: youtube.com/watch?v=BETVNdbISt­o&lc=kbaQgO6XfqCQwIlXyRUgho8sl­aFNTWytQUfxQ8JK5w8&context=C3e­df9ebADOEgsToPDskK-3GbirzRF_0x­blJpSyQAC

@76elfin He admitted what he did in court and plead guilty to it, so in that sense, from her point of view, justice was served - no one could say that she was a golddigger or that she made it up, which many were.

She did successfully sue him in the 90s, but that was for damages in regard to the continued disruption to her life caused by his flight to France, not for the original crime; if he hadn't run, she wouldn't now have reporters on her lawn every time a new movie of his comes out.

@76elfin That's hardly surprising - rape is a crime of victimisation and she's never considered herself to be a victim. Every time the case comes up in the news, reporters swarm around her house and ask her how she feels as his victim. Even at the time, she acknowledged that he didn't mean her any harm and she wasn't hurt by it and they were both high at the time, which was why it happened. She didn't want him to be punished other than just by admitting in court that it happened and was wrong.

@76elfin She didn't write it, no, be she did give Roman the book to read before she died and he absolutely "fell in love with it", as Hollywood types always say about books... I think actually she may have given it to him to read when he left to go to London and work on Day of the Dolphin, which was what he was doing and why he wasn't with her at home when she was murdered in their home. He did dedicate the film to her when he made it and it starts with a caption saying "For Sharon..."

@spike1138 the wierdest thing about this is I saw an interview with the girl as an adult . she says she has forgiven roman and that shes come to terms with it and that she wishes everyone would just shut up about it!lol

[76elfin]
