Advantages: beautifuly performed film Disadvantages: none
This is an absolutley fantastic film that will appeal to both men and women as it has the adventure side to it aswell as the heart puller too.
This film is based on a real person not just fiction, it is based on wladyslaw szpilman a jew and concert pianist played in the dvd by Adrien Brody who does this job very well, This is his story of how he lived through the nazi invation of warsaw and how he managed to survive against all the odds, he evaded being captured and imprisoned in a concentration camp and managed to survive world war two by hiding amongst the ruins in war torn warsaw.
The detail in this film is fantastic, there is a lot of violence but this isnt exagerated it is as it was when it was all happening to give you a real feel of what it was like to be there and it realy does instill fear in you and get your adrenalin ...
Advantages: Gripping film Disadvantages: Rather lengthy
Winner of three Oscars (and nominated for four more), two BAFTAs, and the coveted Palm d'Ore, The Pianist certainly has the credentials. Anyone who has read Szpilman's original biography, also titled 'ThePianist', will already know that the narrative is gripping enough, but combined with amazing direction by Roman Polanski, and breathtaking performances by many of the actors, specifically Thomas Kretschmann and the fabulous Adrian Brody, the story is taken to an entirely new level.

The film is largely presented from the viewpoint of Szpilman himself, and this is certainly one of the film's greatest successes. While first person narratives can be tricky to perfect ...
Advantages: Acting, directing and story Disadvantages: None
Adrien Brody is the "Pianist" Roman Polanski's acclaimed hit from 2002. At first glance, there isn't really too much that sets apart this movie from others with the same theme.
The Pianist is about a polish pianist, Wladyslaw Szpilman (Brody), whose Jewish family is separated and like many others , executed under the regime of Adolf Hitler and Germans, better known as the Third Reich.
The Third Reich basically had an extremely racist view against the Jews and exterminated them, since they blamed them for many of Germany's problems.
As I said before, movies on the Holocaust are abound,"The Diary of Anne Frank", "Schindler's List" are probably the most recognized movies on this topic. The Pianist therefore had major shoes to fill and to be quite honest, the Pianist doesn't quite deliver the same type of impact that the movies I ...
