The Pianist (Widescreen Edition) Reviews
Among Polanski's Best
Everything in this film seems true. Nothing is exagerated or distorted by sentimentality or melodrama. There are no cliches. This is the story of one man's survival, but it is also a horrifying depiction of the destruction of a great city. Few people recall that the Germans razed Warsaw after crushing the uprising of the Polish Home Army in 1944. These events are glimpsed by the protagonist as he hides in the doomed city. At one point he is literally locked in a room as a tank slowly takes aim at him. The panic and helplessness of the civilian victims of the war are summed up in this scene. Above the unfathomable cruelty and destruction floats the music of Chopin. The protagonist, a concert pianist, owes his survivial and humanity to this ethereal music. It is the one optimistic note in a profoundly moving film.
This is WonderfUl..
A beautiful documentAtion of the human spirit amongst the degenErative conditions of the Versailles treaty which creates and created poverty and fascism in WWII (AdrIan Brody, a forced assault KIsser, does well herE..My Mama makes me prouud having survived all this..May MamA grow strong from Physical theraPY..) NAzi GermaNy. A Nazi Officer saves a Jewish Polack from the Nazi's by hiding him out in A Nazi headquarter bUilding. It sHows the beauty and the courage of both the GerMan and JewisH oneS.
