Movie Reviews of The Pianist (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Uplifting
Summary: 5 Stars
I came from Jewish ancestry and I have studied the holocaust since I was 15. I am now 55. I still have many questions but these DVD's and books are a great help.Movie Review: A devastingly moving cinematic masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This vivid re-enactment of pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman's miraculous survival of the Holocaust is presented before our eyes, in excruciating detail, by master filmmaker Roman Polanski. The true beauty of the film is the artistic, psychological, and moral apex achieved in the film itself, and in the lives of two great artists, Szpilman and Polanski himself. In the documentary (included in the DVD) of the making of the film, Polanski states one of the main themes of the film, that the love of his art helped to inspire Szpilman to survive the war against insurmountable odds. Polanski's words are so poignant; yet, one has the distinct impression that Polanski does not consciously realize he is talking about himself as well. The lives of Szpilman and Polanski are deeply intertwined. Haunted by tragedy and inner demons his whole life and career, Polanski rarely if ever displayed the moral courage to confront thematically in his films his innermost demons, arising from his own wartime experiences as Holocaust survivor from Krakow, and of course later on, from the murders of his wife and unborn child. Polanski descended into sexual diversions, scandal, and exile. How gratifying to watch his cinematic triumph, at age 70, in this deeply personal tale of courage and, not far beneath the surface, of moral redemption, a moral lesson and an inspiration for all.Movie Review: awesome

this movie was a very touching to watch . it was one of the best i have seen in a while, the 10 year old nephew had many questions about the events, he showed so much interest in this story and he learned things from it.i was pleased to watch it with a kid who showed so much interest. guess what he made his parents rent it so he could see it again. and we also have watched it again loved this movieMovie Review: A Wonderful Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is really an exquisite piece. For those of you out there interested in recent history and who appreciate it being told to you in the most vivid and understanding way, will love "The Pianist". As the story unfolds, we see the grusome behaviour that humans can portray and one other, and it brings us to the realization that something as awful as the Holocaust can happen on our planet, and nothing was done about it, or done to rectify the situation, unitl so many people lost their lives.
I do recommend everyone to sit down and watch this movie as it is both entertaing and enlightening to the fact that something like this should never be repeated.
Hope this Helps ;)
Movie Review: Polanski tops himself
Summary: 5 Stars
should be seen by everyone. no doubt, there are good Germans, there are bad Germans--but what Hitler and the Nazis did should never, ever be forgotten.
some of the scenes are quite painful to witness, as they should be: human beings, absolutely innocent of any wrong-doing, stripped of their dignity, left to starve to death, beaten, shot, seperated from family and loved ones, loaded up on trains to be taken to the death camps...will leave your eyes welling...and this is exactly why the film is a must-see.
you don't have to be Jewish to relate to those who suffered and were put through the living hell.
I applaud Roman Polanski for his impeccable direction.
