Product Information
Roman Polanski's THE PIANIST is based on the memoirs of the talented pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrian Brody), a Polish Jew, who miraculously survived World War II. The first half of the film transports viewers to 1939 Poland, and brings it to life clearly and believably. Szpilman is a tall, handsome, winsome man who is revered for his piano performances on public radio. He lives with his family--an intelligent, loving, and spirited bunch--in an upscale flat in central Warsaw. Bombings have begun to torment the citizens of Warsaw, and step by step, the Nazis infiltrate, the Jews are branded and set apart from their neighbors, imprisoned in a ghetto, and slowly exterminated. The story is told through Szpilman's eyes, and thus carries as much confusion and fear as disgust and torment. Polanski paints Warsaw in bleak shades of gray and black, expressing the helplessness of the Jewish people and the cruelty of the Nazis with captivating photography. In the second half of the film, which takes place in the early 1940s, Szpilman is alone, having managed to avoid the trains to the death camps. His struggle to survive, with some help from non-Jews but mostly his own will to thrive, takes place in long, silent, languid stretches filled with the imagined piano music that inspires Szpilman to live. In a climactic scene of immense beauty and spine-tingling tension, Szpilman must actually perform for a German soldier who is inexplicably patrolling the near-deserted and utterly dilapidated Warsaw ghetto. THE PIANIST, in the subtlety of its sublime and heartbreaking tale, is carried by the intensely moving performance of Brody, whose transformation is truly unforgettable.Product Identifiers

A true account of one man's survival of the Holocaust.
I had to hesitate before answering the question "is it entertaining". This is a true story about one Warsaw Jew, Wladyslaw Szpilman, a brilliant pianist and composer, and his survival of the German occupation and the Holocaust. He was the only survivor in his family and this story of that survival is hard to watch but is a part of history that we can never forget.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

An Historic Story
You follow 'The Pianist' through the initial bombings til the war ends. What occurred in Warsaw during that time I don't think could really ever be understood but by those who were there. This story tries to relate the horror but hope as well.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
