The Pianist (DVD, 2003, Full Frame)

A true account of one man's survival of the Holocaust.

I had to hesitate before answering the question "is it entertaining". This is a true story about one Warsaw Jew, Wladyslaw Szpilman, a brilliant pianist and composer, and his survival of the German occupation and the Holocaust. He was the only survivor in his family and this story of that survival is hard to watch but is a part of history that we can never forget.Read full review

An Historic Story

You follow 'The Pianist' through the initial bombings til the war ends. What occurred in Warsaw during that time I don't think could really ever be understood but by those who were there. This story tries to relate the horror but hope as well.Read full review

I think this is a five star movie because it tells how the people were treated and I like the kind of movies that tell the truth.

Great movie.

Sadly my movie was damaged but, this movie is guttural, raw, and heartbreaking. The story follows one man from beginning to end of WWII. The strength and courage shown is breathtaking.

Pianist DVD

Excellent movie. So sad what these people had to go through. A good reminder that we should never forget our history lest we repeat it.
