My husband forced me to switch off the TV and just get out somewhere, so I could recover a bit. That was one incident that just invokes extreme sorrow in me every time I hear of it. In the recent times, I think it was Besslan which ripped my guts out like that. I couldn’t stop crying on 9/11.

I did cry when I saw the devestation in Indonesia. >KS, Polanski never directed a movie called "The Piano". Though, he did direct a movie called The Pianist. And Yaz mentions "many many years ago", substituting for many many as >= 2; I would discount the movie The Pianist. nice post Yaz. I did cry when I saw the devestation in Indonesia.

And Yaz mentions “many many years ago”, substituting for many many as >= 2; I would discount the movie The Pianist.

I was around 13-14 at the time so it's circa 1985-86. But those times movies were released in India much later than the international releases (sometimes 5-10 years later). The only actors name that I vaguely remember is <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000961/" rel="nofollow">Timothy Bottoms</a>, but I couldn't find the film in his filmography. The movie is neither The Piano (1993) directed by Jane Campion, nor is it The Pianist (2002) directed by Roman Polanski.

But I can't remember a violinist in that one. It was about Reinhard Heydrich's assasination. I can recall the film as if I saw it yesterday. The ending is still vivid in my mind.
