[00:00:00]Going on to the second crossover that I have, >> [music] >> it's Pianist. It came out in 2002 and my crossover with that would be Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. [music] So, Ernest Hemingway, you know, obviously a very famous writer. This book is pretty phenomenal. It follows World [music] War I soldier. He's an ambulance driver as he goes through Europe, primarily Italy, and along the way he gets injured [music] and he spends a lot of time in the hospital and starts to develop a relationship with [music] a nurse as he goes through his his wartime fights and [music] and journeys. The reason why I'm attaching it to Pianist 2002 [music] is because it follows a similar trajectory.

[00:00:51]Pianist is based in World War [music] II. The main character is played by Adrien Brody. He's a pianist [music] and he is living in Poland to survive and it's a very grueling and sad story.

[00:01:04]Similarly [music] to how Farewell to Arms ends up turning out in the ending.

[00:01:08]It's one of the >> [music] >> more spectacular endings to a book that I've ever read. There's a lot of really good parts [music] to both medias that I feel like overlap very well.
