The movie is about friendship, tolerance, about how two very different people change. And it seems to be about goodness. But I still wonder: why exactly did the black protagonist have to be “super smart”, reserved, almost saintly to earn respect? 🤨🙄🙄 Why is his suffering presented as something “overcome with dignity” rather than anger that would be perfectly just?
Also - the whole story is presented through the eyes of a white man. His journey, his transformation. What did the pianist actually feel? We don't know. We've been given a “convenient” story 🤷♀️
I'm not against movies about friendship between different worlds. But I want them to have not only a happy ending but also honesty 😌
Have you seen this movie? What do you think?
