An amazing film; highly recommended

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2009)

Set during the time of the holocaust, The Pianist traces the life of Jewish-Polish musician Wladyslaw Szpilman. He faces many struggles such as being separated from his family and friends. He is also forced to hide with the help of non-Jews. One of the people that help Szpilman is Hosenfeld, a captain of the German Army.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone that loves music. The soundtrack is simply superb, and it adds another layer of depth to Szpilman's profound life story. I think this movie also shows the real power of human compassion during times of struggle.
The Pianist also features the acting talent of Adrian Brody and the directing talent of Roman Polanski. Both of them did an excellent job in communicating Szpilman's story to the audience. This is probably one of the best movies made about the holocaust.
