Movie Reviews of The Pianist [HD DVD]

Movie Review: This is what will happen to us if Obama gets his reform.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a wonderfully made movie. It is very well done.
The male star was wonderful. Every one should watch this movie, particular young kids. This is what will happen to the United States if the reform of Obamas passes. We can look for these things to happen to all of us. It has happened over and over in society. We just never thought it would happen in the US. i highly recommend this movie. I gave it a 5 stars because the acting was wonderful; everything was wonderful.

Summary of The Pianist [HD DVD]

Nominated for 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and winner of 3, The Pianist stars Oscar winner Adrien Brody in the true-life story of brilliant pianist and composer Wladyslaw Szpilman, the most acclaimed young musician of his time until his promising career was interrupted by the onset of World War II. This powerful, triumphant film follows Szpilman's heroic and inspirational journey, an unforgettable opeic testifying to both the power of hope and the resiliency of the human spirit. Brought to life by visionary filmmaker Roman Polanski, The Pianist is his most personal movie ever.

Winner 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
