Amazon.com:
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

Remarkable true story of courage and resistance during the terrible days of Nazi reign of terror. This film should be seen by all. I show it in my U.S. history class when we study the Holocaust. It is a great way to help educate students about what happened and how one can survive even the worst of times. Roman Polanski is up there with Spielberg with their great contribution to film and history.

This is not a review, just an answer to some of the reviews here. The movie is obviously worth watching.
This movie ends in a happy end for Szpilman, but it wasn't a happy end for Poland. After Germans, came the Soviets, and perhaps paradoxically lots of Jews who survived the WW2 in Poland joined the oppression apparatus of the communist regime (cause the Soviets didn't trust the Poles in this role?). A number of show trials followed during which many Home Army officers were tortured ... Read More

I am always moved by holocaust stories, but some are better told than others. This is a very well performed script based on a true story. It is VERY well done.

This is not a movie to watch if you want mindless entertainment. It is a gut-wrenching depiction of the most horrible atrocities in human history. Adrian Brody totally immerses himself in the title role of a Polish pianist who somehow managed to survive,against overwhelming odds, the horrors of the Holocaust. If this story doesn't put your problems in perspective,nothing will.
Wanting to turn away from the horrific views of all this brutality, I found myself staring in disbelief at ... Read More

Can we go ahead and not interject our very narrow modern political opinions into a historical tale about another government and country, rockygreen? thank you.
This is a great movie about another place in time, concerning a government that was not run by officials who were elected regularly by the people of the country. These citizens had no say in the political process, and could not change things if they didn't like them. And there were no human rights, because the people weren't ... Read More
