    He is a wonderful and humble man. I was a teacher in Egypt in 2018/2019, and when I was walking around the Khan El-Khalili [a market that is thousands of years old], I ran into him looking at an Egyptian rug. I spoke with him for a bit, and asked him if being in the this market was at all close to being on the set of Darjeeling Limited. He walked with me for a bit, explaining what it was like working with Wes, and he just seemed so happy to be where he was. No photo. No autograph. Just a nice human moment.

A truly grounded and brutally honest film about real people facing real struggles. There's something in it that everyone can relate to or empathize with (at least everyone I've recommended the film to). For me it really hit me hard in a lot of places. A criminally underrated gem.

    This is what he said concerning Polanski and Allen, which isn't supportive or defensive :" “I don’t even read about these things, to be honest,” Brody said. “I choose not to indulge this kind of fodder.” He added, “I think there’s a lot of catastrophe in this world and a lot of cruelty and a lot of carelessness. Of course it’s horrible what comes out sometimes, and people have done things in their lives that may be inexcusable, but it’s not something to focus on.”

    I was 14 when Pianist came out and my class went to see that movie in our town cinema as a school activity (I really don't know which teacher came with this idea). I was so captivated by the music in the film that I decided to become a pianist myself. I was already attending piano lessons but I decided to focus on it on a much deeper level and I auditioned to the consevatory and they accepted me. So I changed my school, moved to a dorm and succesfully finished that studies with a red diploma. I did earn my living with music for few years and than I moved to business but music is still my great passion so I established a little ensemble in our company and everybody loves our christmas gigs :) I cannot imagine my live without that experience which music studies gave me, everyday I feel thankful and privileged that I could do something what I loved for all days long. So thank you Adrien! ♥

    What a great example of an actor with a great deal of empathy. A lot of famous actors lose that along the way.
