ridiculousties:

I made a poster of Henryk because he’s fit he’s the third most developed character in The Pianist, and many of the storylines do involve him. He’s Wladyslaw’s (The Pianist’s) brother but he doesn’t like music as much as him. In real life, Henryk was a poet but also played the violin - I guess Roman Polanski decided not to include this in the film to imply Henryk’s anger could not be soothed by music (unlike his brother and father). Henryk used to read and sell books - but also wrote songs and tried his hand at composing too. He went to Sosnowiec High School For Boys, and left in 1934.
