Quotes Wladyslaw Szpilman : What are you reading? Crazy credits Aside from the Universal and Focus Features credits, there are no opening credits. All credits, including the title, appear at the end of the film. User reviews 1K Review. Top review. Brilliantly Narrated, Visually Stunning! Polanski has depicted the gory details of the holocaust without much restraint.
But, the most wonderful aspect of the film is that the director has not lost focus of his story and instead of focusing too much on the holocaust horror he has weaved the true-life narrative of survival around devillish happenings. Every single act of escapade Szpilman goes through is depicted like a drop of water on a barren desert. However, the Oasis in the driest desert comes in the end and it is here that Polanski captures the essence of human emotion.
I had this very strong urge of jumping into the theater screen and magically adopting a character in the movie and doing something about the helplesness portrayed so convincingly. Overall, Polanski has given a stunning visual narrative of the cold war.
Survival indeed is a privilege though it is taken for granted today. She seems to float and drift throughout the film as a lost feather, with people quickly appeared and disappeared from his life, help generous, others took advantage of quiet desperation, always keep almost empty, indifferent.
One might even wonder why we should care a bit about this character. But we care. That is, I believe, the secret to this movie poetry. In one of the most powerful scenes, to the final, a German officer memaksa pianists play for life his, in an episode that suddenly brings lighter, beautiful color film poetry the German officers will be able to compare with Schindler, although activity his charity is not quite like the basic share.
It is also a great tribute to the Polish artist, Chopins through music, with a concert at the end of the movie and open implementation of the artist piano in a local radio station with the sound of a bomb explosion in the background to form a harmonious link between the beginning and end of the film under normal Polanskis-story frame.
Overall, the pianist is one of the most detailed accounts and shocking treatment of the Jews of Nazi Germany, with a good atmosphere Warsaw was arrested and reliable. Very likely, The Pianist will remain in film history as the most touching portrait of the Holocaust and the actual movie made. Polanskis pernah quite a strong presence in the nomination Oscar, including a nomination for an amazing performance Adrien Brodys, Polanskis great direction, best adapted script and, obviously, the best picture.
This may, ultimately, the long-awaited Polanskis, comeback victory with a high and mighty Hollywood. No comments:.
