take this...partially spoiler

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2003)

This is not an action movie, this is not a movie about heroes, this is only a movie about humanity. You know, HUMANTY! So what's wrong if the main character only struggles to keep himself alive? I bet many Americans would do so in spite of all the superheroes like Batman, Spiderman, Superman...What about Annie Frank? She's hiding as well! Though she was caught and was sent to the gas chamber at the end, but that doesn't even the fact that she, like Szpilman, was cheating death through hiding. This movie is not Schindler's List 2, so why should you expect the character to save the day? If you can't deny that if you were in that situation, you would have done exactly the same, why should you complain some other people doing so? The character was only a human! If you are unhappy about him not saving people or fighting against the Germans, what about Chopin? He didn't really fight as well! He fight through his music, so what's the big deal? This is a story of how to survive, not about some kind of heroism! If you can't stand seeing films about ordinary people struggling in unordinary times, please go to another cinema and watch "Daredevil" or something like that. This movie is about REALITY, not somekind of "Powerpuff save the day".
