The Pianist
The true story of pianist Władysław Szpilman's experiences in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation.

I wanted to but couldn't!
A different way of telling a story
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
No words needed. Polanski has created a movie that shows the horror of war in such an amazing way. Brilliant .
I liked it ... it was nice :) this love of art and actually music , it's the best of it's kind .. esp. music, music is pure love
So powerful and touching. it tells us the real human story and destiny. it is not fiction or unreal created sitution. it shows us what the history was and different human sufferings that we sometimes neglect. a man must ask himself how evil and horrible animal or devil people can be, I quess war creates that. i feel pity for all those people who suffered hollocaust and war. may peace be on all
We can say without hesitation The Pianist is a masterpiece. Thls movle is based on true story of Wladyslaw Szpilman who in the 1930s (in war time) was considered one of the most successful pianist. But the movie is not about his success. It is about A Polish jew who was fought against all bad things and faced situations that he never imagined and he finally survived by losing everything and everyone. The character played by Adrien Brody. He is tremendous actor who captures his character completely and carries the film with his amazingly real performance. He makes the story of an unforgettable experience. The dramatic life or death plot is very gripping. It is a very touching movie that should be seen by everyone.
