THE PIANIST

"Pictures of Warsaw in 1945 resemble pictures of Hiroshima. Only a quarter of the city was still standing. Ninety per cent of all the large buildings had been reduced to rubble- Of the 1.3 million people who live in Warsaw in 1940, only 378.000 were still there. Almost two thirds of the city's population was either dead or missing." In Europe by Geert Mak
A movie to watch for those who like to think Europe is a civilized continent, or even a peaceful one. Some of the biggest mankind atrocities were committed in Europe or by Europeans. This continent always finds a way to inflame all sorts of hatred and disputes over religion, land, and culture, whatever. So much pettiness over so little land. And for the people who think it is different now I can only think of one word: Sarajevo. And another one come to think of it: Putin.
