I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Pretty Good
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I liked it ... it was nice :) this love of art and actually music , it's the best of it's kind .. esp. music, music is pure love
it can be hard to steel one's nerves for a film about a subject as heavy as the holocaust, but i urge you to do so. this is an incredibly moving film and adrien brody richly deserved his unexpected win for best actor. it's a tear jerker and very powerful. i can't believe the horrors and atrocities that man is capable of. i hope that we can learn to be better to one another, but that doesn't seem likely
You can't believe how much I liked this movie, as a pianist myself, and without having read the about-summary, I expected it to be piano-exclusive kind of movie. I was wrong, but then, I was lucky. It turned out to be a real adaption for Wladyslaw Szpilman's miserable attempt to survive the dense era of the World War 2, and oh boy was it intense ! I felt like I am in Szpilman's shoes ! The movie is long, and detailed, it depicts everything, it makes you feel everything. And man, the ending, I had goosebumps, it was wonderful, I love how they cut the "Chopin's Ballade No.1" piece, they removed the happy parts, and kept only the relieving-then-intense parts. It is just beautiful. (This is no spoiler by no means)May you rest in peace Wladyslaw Szpilman, You are a legend, and your life made a great legendary movie !9/10
I usually don't cry when I watch movies. This movie left me in tears, I sobbed and I could relate to the main character - not exactly in the same way, but how it feels to not being seen as a part of society (apartheid and other issues of today). I didn't pause for one minute. I felt a lot of mixed emotions. This movie is so beautifully made, one part of it - when the SS soldier saves the main character - shows that there is hope for humanity, and that people have the ability to avoid their racial views and save each other when they truly feel sorry for one another. I truly recommend The Pianist, you won't be disappointed.
