Movie Reviews of The Pianist
Movie Review: D Hughes
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderful movie! Beautifully done, cast, crew, locations, story. The director, Roman Polanski though his own personal experiance,really captured Wladyslaw Szpilmans'story of survival and the hope his music gave him to keep going. Adrien Brody gave a preformace of a life time, never once did he seem like an actor playing a part, he was Szpilman.
A truely inspritional film for all humanity. The special features of Polanski talking about his own family experiance though WWII is also an inspiration. This is a movie made out of tears, love and will to survive.
Summary of The Pianist
Music was his passion survival was his masterpiece. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/17/2006 Starring: Adrien Brody Run time: 150 minutes Rating: R Director: Roman PolanskiWinner of the prestigious Golden Palm award at the 2002 Cannes film festival, The Pianist is the film that Roman Polanski was born to direct. A childhood survivor of Nazi-occupied Poland, Polanski was uniquely suited to tell the story of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish Jew and concert pianist (played by Adrien Brody) who witnessed the Nazi invasion of Warsaw, miraculously eluded the Nazi death camps, and survived throughout World War II by hiding among the ruins of the Warsaw ghetto. Unlike any previous dramatization of the Nazi holocaust, The Pianist steadfastly maintains its protagonist's singular point of view, allowing Polanski to create an intimate odyssey on an epic wartime scale, drawing a direct parallel between Szpilman's tenacious, primitive existence and the wholesale destruction of the city he refuses to abandon. Uncompromising in its physical and emotional authenticity, The Pianist strikes an ultimate note of hope and soulful purity. As with Schindler's List, it's one of the greatest films ever made about humanity's darkest chapter. --Jeff Shannon
