I will survive

Posted : 7 months, 1 week ago at Apr 15 18:48
A good movie needs good cinematography, good acting, good music and good story. This movie got it all. its far from boring, entertain you from the start to the end.



Adrien Brody does a very good job. And I can say the same about the other actors. The movie itself is pretty good, it show you how meaningless the war can be. And how hard it was to survive it.

Its a good WW2 movie, but ive seen better ones. Idi I Smotri is one of them.

I give this movie an 8/10

Rating : 8/10

Just as powerful as Schindler's List.

No. Please. I'm Polish. I'm not a German.Then why the fucking coat?I'm cold. Directed by: Roman Palonski Starring: Adrien Brody, Thomas Kretschmann, Frank Finlay, Ed Stoppard, Maureen Lipman Genre: Biography/Drama/Thriller/War Running time: 150 minutes My review: They were degraded, they were hoarded up, and they were sent to die. A brave few fought back, but one man would not be beaten, would not be taken, and would stay and hide. Wladyslaw Szpilman, a brilliant Polish pianist, a Jew, escapes deportation. Forced to live in the heart of Warsaw ghetto, he shares the suffering and humiliation and the struggles, and manages to escape and hide in the ruins of the capital.This film is one of the most powerful films of all time. I personally think that this film is just as ...Read more

''I don't know how to thank you.'' ''Thank God, not me. He wants us to survive. Well, that's what we have to believe.'' A Polish Jewish musician struggles to survive the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto of World War II. Adrien Brody: Wladyslaw Szpilman Thomas Kretschmann: Captain Wilm Hosenfeld When we think of human suffering, of loss and despair. What is it that we think of in human history, a great well of loss? The answer is simple, the holocaust. Pianist tells a wonderful story of one man's journey through a tragic period in time that is ultimately one of my favourite areas of interest. The level of detail is captured perfectly from every last stone and structure, from furniture, to the very fabric of characters clothes. Roman Polanski has triumphed and bla...Read more

Decent movie

Posted : 3 years ago at Nov 18 14:53
Decent flick, not as powerful as other WWII movies out there but still gets the message across. The acting was great for the most part but I thought the pacing was a little sketchy. It felt genuine, which I appreciate a lot.
