The true story of pianist Władysław Szpilman's experiences in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation.

You can't believe how much I liked this movie, as a pianist myself, and without having read the about-summary, I expected it to be piano-exclusive kind of movie. I was wrong, but then, I was lucky. It turned out to be a real adaption for Wladyslaw Szpilman's miserable attempt to survive the dense era of the World War 2, and oh boy was it intense ! I felt like I am in Szpilman's shoes ! The movie is long, and detailed, it depicts everything, it makes you feel everything. And man, the ending, I had goosebumps, it was wonderful, I love how they cut the "Chopin's Ballade No.1" piece, they removed the happy parts, and kept only the relieving-then-intense parts. It is just beautiful. (This is no spoiler by no means)May you rest in peace Wladyslaw Szpilman, You are a legend, and your life made a great legendary movie !9/10

I usually don't cry when I watch movies. This movie left me in tears, I sobbed and I could relate to the main character - not exactly in the same way, but how it feels to not being seen as a part of society (apartheid and other issues of today). I didn't pause for one minute. I felt a lot of mixed emotions. This movie is so beautifully made, one part of it - when the SS soldier saves the main character - shows that there is hope for humanity, and that people have the ability to avoid their racial views and save each other when they truly feel sorry for one another. I truly recommend The Pianist, you won't be disappointed.
