However she was persuaded to have a simple observance at home with prayers for Basilios’ safekeeping. Meanwhile while Basilios was doing his tasks as cupbearer he was suddenly whisked up and away. Saint Nicholas appeared to the terrified boy, blessed him, and set him down at his home back in Myra in front of his parents still holding the king’s golden cup. The reason I chose this saint for my project was because he takes care of children and I love kids. I like teaching them and helping them with their problems no matter how small it is.
It is evident throughout the film that Szpilman was a selfless man towards his family and that he loved them very much. As the oldest child, Szpilman always put his family first and tried to protect them. When they are forced to leave their home and move into the Ghetto, Szpilman gave all the money he earned from playing the piano to feed his family and pay for living costs. In the scene where a German officer orders his family to stand, Szpilman stands up to the officer and tells him that they all have work permits and in a two shot we see the officer slap Szpilman on the face. We can see that Szpilman loves and cares about his family very much.

As an audience we are given the image of a more youthful Mrs Johnstone able to dance the night away, being told she looks like Marilyn Monroe, which is in great contrast to the single parent and weary mother we see before us. Dancing continues to play a part s the boys grow up, later we see – ‘Mrs Lyons enters waltzing with a very awkward fourteen year old Edward’. Earlier on we dancing as a part of adult life, a tool for socialising and escape, but here maybe also as a metaphor for life.
