The story is based on the German history of Jewish persecution controlled by the Nazi. In the movie, the two boys keep their lifelong friendship because a mother's mercurial brilliance helps a child not to go to "the Toyland."
I like the story process of this movie, especially how she saves her children. The depiction of the mother, brave, wise and risk-taking woman is beautifully drawn in the film.
I was into the film the entire time; however, at some point, it was a little confusing to catch up with the story because of the complexity of the timeline. The flashback and going-on event or the past and present are back and forth in the middle, which may make the audience lost; on the other hand, we are successfully drawn into the cinematic world and feel uneasy, thrill or anxious as the character senses.
Also, I felt relaxed and comfortable at the end although the content of the movie contains heavy topic such as the Nazi control happened in Germany. It is because the beginning and ending are unified resonated together: two persons' playing the piano. Thanks to the beauty of the music, the movie appears as so elaborated and attractive!
