A childhood survivor of Nazi-occupied Poland, Polanski was uniquely suited to tell the story of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish Jew and concert pianist (played by Adrien Brody) who witnessed the Nazi invasion of Warsaw, miraculously eluded the Nazi death camps, and survived throughout World War II by hiding among the ruins of the Warsaw ghetto. Unlike any previous dramatization of the Nazi holocaust, The Pianist steadfastly maintains its protagonist's singular point of view, allowing Polanski to create an intimate odyssey on an epic wartime scale, drawing a direct parallel between Szpilman's tenacious, primitive existence and the wholesale destruction of the city he refuses to abandon. Uncompromising in its physical and emotional authenticity, The Pianist strikes an ultimate note of hope and soulful purity. As with Schindler's List, it's one of the greatest films ever made about humanity's darkest chapter. --Jeff Shannon The Pianist [HD DVD] Customer Reviews   1     2     3   ♥♥♥♥♥ Brilliant I loved this movie, an epic saga of human endurance and sacrifice. The HD DVD video quality is probably the best I've seen and the audio quality was excellent also. The story itself was tremendous, in the nature of Schindlers list, but not quite as moving or as hard hitting as that movie. The main actors ineptitude and lethargy at times was frustrating, but it is a true story, and remarkable none the less. Great entertainment and well worth the small purchase price, this is a movie that will be played several more times over the years. My wife, 13 year old son and 10 year old daughter enjoyed it also, I highly recommend it.   1     2     3   Non User
