About this product

Product Information

Roman Polanski's THE PIANIST is based on the memoirs of the talented pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrian Brody), a Polish Jew, who miraculously survived World War II. The first half of the film transports viewers to 1939 Poland, and brings it to life clearly and believably. Szpilman is a tall, handsome, winsome man who is revered for his piano performances on public radio. He lives with his family--an intelligent, loving, and spirited bunch--in an upscale flat in central Warsaw. Bombings have begun to torment the citizens of Warsaw, and step by step, the Nazis infiltrate, the Jews are branded and set apart from their neighbors, imprisoned in a ghetto, and slowly exterminated. The story is told through Szpilman's eyes, and thus carries as much confusion and fear as disgust and torment. Polanski paints Warsaw in bleak shades of gray and black, expressing the helplessness of the Jewish people and the cruelty of the Nazis with captivating photography. In the second half of the film, which takes place in the early 1940s, Szpilman is alone, having managed to avoid the trains to the death camps. His struggle to survive, with some help from non-Jews but mostly his own will to thrive, takes place in long, silent, languid stretches filled with the imagined piano music that inspires Szpilman to live. In a climactic scene of immense beauty and spine-tingling tension, Szpilman must actually perform for a German soldier who is inexplicably patrolling the near-deserted and utterly dilapidated Warsaw ghetto. THE PIANIST, in the subtlety of its sublime and heartbreaking tale, is carried by the intensely moving performance of Brody, whose transformation is truly unforgettable.

    True story of Holocaust Survivor

    Heartbreaking to see the atrocities suffered by Jews in WWII. A well known pianist in Poland is separated from his family and left on his own in Warsaw to find shelter and food and warmth. Hidden by sympathizers in an apartment but at the mercy of a man that collects money for food for the pianist, but doesn't bring it. Befriended by a German officer that brings food and other necessities to help until the Russians arrive.

  • Sad, but very good movie.

    This movie was definitely hard to watch at some points, since it displayed the actual cruelties of the Nazi's mindset. However, it is needed, since history will repeat itself if it is not retold and if good men of God do not stand for what is right. It made me more thankful for the blessing Christ has given me after watching this movie. I recommend the movie to able high-schoolers (and up) who can handle historical cruel violence.

  • Disappointed with historical timeline.

    I felt that the historical timeline jumped too quickly, without showing any facts. With the exception of the last half of the film, it was also difficult to believe that Brody was going through hardships. For the most part, Brody was always clean shaven and his hair was always in place. I don't understand how it won Academy awards.

  • True Story Of Surviving Against All Odds

    This movie was taut with suspense from the first 15 minutes through the ending scene. Based on a true story, it follows a Jewish concert pianist in Warsaw, Poland during the German occupation. It WILL grip your soul whether you're Jewish or not!
