Adrien Brody explains why he can't watch the Oscar-winning movie, The Pianist, finding the experience too traumatic.
Adrien Brody explains why he can't watch the movie that won him his Oscar 23 years ago, saying 'It was traumatic to embody that character.' The actor's career has been defined by his willingness to take on challenging and diverse roles. Though he made his film debut during the early 1990s, Brody's breakthrough was winning an Academy Award in 2003, which marked the beginning of a promising career, frequently taking on roles that emphasize emotional depth and complexity.
Brody gained early attention in 1998 for Terrence Malick's World War II movie, The Thin Red Line. After winning an Academy Award in 2003, he starred in M. Night Shyamalan's The Village and Peter Jackson's King Kong, showcasing his versatility in both horror and action. However, he never fully embraced the mainstream blockbuster route and has consistently chosen challenging roles. Brody won an Academy Award for his performance as a Holocaust survivor and now, he's once again in the Oscar race for his performance as a Holocaust survivor in The Brutalist. Why Adrien Brody Can't Watch The Pianist The Movie Won Him His Oscar 23 Years Ago Close Adrien Brody explains why he can't watch The Pianist. Directed by Roman Polanski, based on the autobiographical book by Władysław Szpilman, the 2002 film follows a Polish-Jewish pianist who is forced into the Warsaw Ghetto, separated from his family, and eventually hides among the ruins of Warsaw to survive. For his powerful performance, Brody won the Academy Award for Best Actor at the age of 29, the youngest actor to ever win in that category. In a recent profile by W Magazine promoting The Brutalist, Brody explained why he can't watch The Pianist. The actor finds it too traumatic since embodying a Holocaust victim required him to undergo extreme physical and emotional hardship, including significant weight loss and grappling with extreme hunger and despair that left a lasting psychological impact on him.
