Movie Reviews of The Pianist [HD DVD]
Movie Review: NO WORDS.
Summary: 5 Stars
There are bad movies, good movies, very good movies, the classic movies, and the memorable movies. "The Pianist" is one of them; one of the movies you applauded to after it finished. This is the one you do not leave the theater until it is over; the last frame and the last sound. What makes a movie memorable? A touching story compounded with and multiplied by an excellent acting and a good cinematography would do the job every time. But, really, how often does it happen? Should I name a few, which I remembered for hours, days and would remember for life? We all have a special place for movies like this. Now I have one more movie to store there.The story of this movie is well familiar to us. The war and the betrayal of the whole world let the Germans to occupy Poland. Well, it was not just an occupation it was rape of Poland on the scale not known in the history. Great Britain and France (the Polish partners in peace) were standing aside swallowing hard while the Russians were holding the victim, raped by the Germans, down. Poland was pillaged, raped and dismantled and who paid the price - as always the Jews. They were assembled, isolated and disposed of with the well-known German efficiency. Almost three million Polish Jews had perished with the smoke of hard working chimneys. The Jewish question was solved and everyone took a turn solving it.
The hero of the story survived and he told the story. That helps us to separate the good from the bad. I read the book before I saw the movie and the book was just one of the books covering the subject I knew so much about. But the movie shocked me and turned me around. I attribute it to the genius of Roman Polanski. Roman Polanski well deserves to be among the best directors.
