Movie Reviews of The Pianist [HD DVD]
Movie Review: Fantastic story and picture quality/sound
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best WWII films I've seen, along with Schindler's List it really has a great story and plot development.
It is a story of the horrors of nazi occupations and treatment of the Jews that needs to be told and learned, to know history is to not repeat it.
Movie Review: Great Service
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this video as a way to expose my students to the realities of the Holocaust. Until then most of them had never seen anything like it. THe movie came quickly and was in great condition. ThanksMovie Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
I simply loved this film. It's beautifully filmed, wonderfully acted and engrossing. This war is not easy to watch, the things that occured are difficult for any of us to fathom, but stories like this really illustrate that humans are not only capable of horrible things, but incredible things. There is a balance between beauty and ugliness in this film that is reminiscent of Shindler's List. I really feel that this film is Brody's finest work to date. This is a personal story and it feels that way, its triumphant and I enjoy triumph occuring in the eyes of a storm, it leaves us with hope. Movie Review: Gut wrenching...
Summary: 5 Stars
The film is based on a true story and is set in World War II. It centers around a world class pianist by the name of Wladyslaw Szpilman who survives the Holocaust with the help of Polish revolutionaries attempting to overthrow the Nazi occupation and with the courageous help from non-Jewish sympathizers. You may have seen a number of movies on the Holocaust and ask yourself why torment yourself with another 2 hour horror - yet this movie places you in the seat - you loath the Nazi's along with Wladyslaw's brother as they separate the Jews from the rest of the population, make them wear armbands and re-settle in ghettos - you feel the fear of Wladyslaw's loving family as they climb about the transport train - you feel Wladyslaw's hunger and his dry mouth and lips after hiding out for days without food and hunger - and eventually you see how Wladyslaw is spared by the enemy, who at the end of it all is human. This movie is incredibly difficult to watch in many scenes yet is unforgettable as it should be...
Movie Review: Good movie, defective DVD

Universal Widescreen, will not play through, but stops at ch. 13.
I have seen the film, which is excellent, but am very disappointed at the poor quality of the disk, which will not finish playing, even on a brand-new Sony DVD player.
