| PIANIST (2002) | |
|
|
The Pianist is about the virtuous pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody) who is put into the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw with 500,000 others during World War II. He continues on in ghetto life, but with ruthless cruelty towards humanity where adults and children starve on the streets, suffer from vicious violence, and lose all hope. However, as time passes a rumor spreads that they will be shipped off to a different camp in the east. The situation seems bleak as they are loaded onto the trains, but somehow Szpilman is saved from the trains. Polanski gives the audience a descriptive account of one man's struggle for survival in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II, as he saw it. Overall, the Pianist will leave the audience gasping and terrorized as they view this brilliant film. |
