Summary: Brilliant film - Adrien Brody's finest performance to date
Comment: I purchased this film for the sole purpose that it is Adrien Brody's finest performance to date and is arguably one of the most incredible films Roman Polanski has directed (of which he has many). The cinematography is incredible, and the musical score is beautiful. I couldn't give this movie any higher review than any other customer review already has given. The Pianist is one of those films you are proud to have in your collection.

Summary: The Pianist
Comment: Hey, we watched this DVD Movie, had never heard of it before I bought it. We, two adults over 50, both think it is extra special. A sensitive dealing with the WWII is combined with the development of the protagonist, our pianist friend. He is just magnificent. And it even has a message for us here in comfy cozy USA, of 2008. Man you should see it!

Summary: One of the best movies ever.
Comment: This is one of the best movies out there. Completely deserving of the 3 Academy Awards it won (Best Actor, Best Director, & Best Screenplay).
If you like old war movies, with high drama, and a great story, this is a good movie for you. It is a long movie, but worth the watch.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: feels authentic
Comment: A movie that makes you feel like you are realy living in 1940's poland because everything seems and feels authentic. Admittedly, not as good a movie as Schindler's list or even Europa Europa. But even though not as good, those movies felt like they were a bit over dramatized for effect (for a good purpose mind you). If you are a history buff, or one that questions what actually happened during WWII, perhaps this film will help you get a clearer picture of what actually happened (yes I know this is just a movie, but it is based on a person's real life experiences).
I would like to see more movies like this. Not only that of jewish experience during WWII, but also that of all participants of the war and done in a realistic manner, with real people's stories and experiences.

Editorial Reviews:

Nominated for 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and winner of 3, The Pianist stars Oscar winner Adrien Brody in the true-life story of brilliant pianist and composer Wladyslaw Szpilman, the most acclaimed young musician of his time until his promising career was interrupted by the onset of World War II. This powerful, ultimately triumphant film follows Szpilman’s heroic and inspirational journey of survival with the unlikely help from a sympathetic German officer (Thomas Kretschmann). A truly unforgettable epic, testifying to both the power of hope and the resiliency of the human spirit, The Pianist is a miraculous tale of survival masterfully brought to life by visionary filmmaker Roman Polanski in his most personal movie ever.
