An insightful film with believable characters my only criticism was the muddling of the Jewish ghetto uprising with the separate but linked Warsaw uprising. The former occurred historically 1st, and I believe was a long drawn out slaughtering of the remaining Jews in the ghetto over 12 months who fought back against the Nazi butchers. The latter was a communal uprising pretty much the whole population of Warsaw against the Nazi occupation of their country ad despite fierce fighting by the Polish resistance and any remaining Jewish resistance fighters who'd escaped the Jewish ghetto - was over in about 3 months with huge slaughter of the Warsaw population. Sadly film didn't out the despicable behavior of the allies in their limp wrist support of the Warsaw uprising with a few token air drops of weapons and supplies - fair few of which fell in the Nazi occupied territory - but then its Hollywood and the allies are the good guy's which they were - but they could have been better and if better allies support had been forthcoming uprising may have succeeded?Read full review

So when I wrote my last review I had not opened the dvd case. I have now watched the dvd and it froze many times and I’m guessing this is due to the fact that the dvd disc has many large cracks in the back of it.

This film is a true story, it is about how 1 man managed to survive the Warsaw getto and the war even though he was a polish jew. In the end it partly down to a kind german officer who died in Russian custody. The story really is a harrowing one, but it is a subject everyone should know about, 1 thing I have to complain about is the timeline, the story was throughout the war but I didn't get a feel for that in the film, it all seemed to happen very quickly, over months rather than years... It will bring you to tears, when he looses his family and is alone it is so sad... The film is a good (if not depressing) watch, but if you are really interested in the story I would recommend the book, as with all adaptations, this film did lose alot of the detail which is why I marked it down.
No doubt an Oscar winning acting been done in the film by Broody, A true story based on a pianist life and his servival during the worldwar2. Nicly directed and u will also see a true piece of piano playing. I can honestly say its one of the best films i have watched. Thanks
The Pianist I think does not have the acclaim it should. This is a war story that needed to be told and I have'nt seen anything quite like it out there right now. You get a real understanding of how normal people can be reduced to the levels that these people had to go through. I would say this is not a movie for everyone, When you say war film you conjur up ideas of alot of fighting and explosions, this is not the case. What this is is a story of survival in one of the hardest times in our resent history.
