Overview

The true story of pianist Władysław Szpilman's experiences in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation. When the Jews of the city find themselves forced into a ghetto, Szpilman finds work playing in a café; and when his family is deported in 1942, he stays behind, works for a while as a laborer, and eventually goes into hiding in the ruins of the war-torn city.

It was touching from the first to the last second, when the fate of the victims of the Second World War suffered a tragedy. The plot centers on a talented Jewish pianist who had a difficult time in these times. It is in the bloody, frightening moments that you understand the value of life.

The film is 10 out of 10. But I was so infuriated by gg, constantly doing everything loudly, walking loudly, digging loudly somewhere, peeping almost head-on at the fascists.. I understand that he doesn't need to fly through the air, but it's really like he was "trying to get caught." I watched the whole movie with wild emotions, with a bag on my chest and a lump in my throat, how much I was worried about gg, and these reckless actions just put me in a stupor…

A tragic film about the fate of the Polish-Jewish pianist Vladislav Shpilman during the Second World War. The events are real.
The film is very heavy, but it's worth watching.

It's a scary and emotionally very difficult film. And, undoubtedly, the best role of Adrian Brody.

It's a very good movie. Of course, after Schindler's list, the boy in striped pajamas, and so on, there is little that can impress, but this film has a completely different atmosphere. Personally, it was very interesting for me to watch the main character's family, and when their paths parted, I suffered with him. Throughout the film, the idea that a person literally walks under God did not leave his mind. How many times had he been lucky!!(if such situations can be called luck at all).
It is worth noting separately that the director is Roman Polanski. This man knows firsthand the horror that Polish Jews had to go through. He put a part of his soul into this picture and it shows. Bravo!
