Movie Reviews of The Pianist (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Graphic but moving film
Summary: 5 Stars
Knowing that this was based off of memoirs I expected the film to overemphasize or exaggerate the events - like most memoirs-turn-movies do. As if memoirs don't tend to exaggerate memories enough.
During the first viewing of the movie, I thought that some of the more graphic/violent scenes were a bit gratuitous. Though as I kept watching in my second viewing, watching the graphic scenes seemed justified, and all the while likely horrifically accurate in depicting the time and place. In the end, I didn't feel like the story even memoirs was overexaggerated. They went with simple, and it worked.
Movie Review: By Far the Most Honest Cinematic Work To Date
Summary: 5 Stars
I happen to disagree with David Denby's review. This is the most moving work I've ever seen; very honest depiction, detail by detail. It's not meant to be bombastic and dreamy and glorifying. This is what it was like for Jews during the holocaust. The waiting. The boredom. The uncertainty of the next meal or the uncertainty of the next day. Watching this movie made me understand a little more clearly the kind of treatment my African-American ancestors went through. And after watching this movie, I would feel ashamed to waste food. When you watch this movie, you can't help but thank God we won this one and we've never had it so good. Congratulations to Mr. Polanksi and Adrien Brody on a job well done. Movie Review: Human endurance
Summary: 5 Stars
I was deeply moved by this true story of one man's endurance against the Nazi oppression in wartime Poland. Roman Polanski, himself a victim of the holocaust, directs the actors in a superb manner. The special feature interview of Polanski is especially moving. This should be required viewing by all High School kids to give them a lasting view of how far evil can extend and what good people can do to overcome it. I liked it better than Schindler's List.Movie Review: Incredible story!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie that looks even better in HD. This true story is a must see.Movie Review: One of my favorite movies of all time.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have not seen this movie yet, this is a no-brainer purchase if you have even the slightest interest in historical films set in WWII.
The picture and sound of this HD-DVD are superb. I would rank it just below top-tier titles such as King Kong, Transformers and Corpse Bride.
