What's new?

Rating: 3/10 (20 March 2004)

Quite well-done, though it had nothing new to say. Same old, evil germans and the frightened innocent jews. What can I say? Yet another germans-killing-jews movie ... the only movie in this category that stood up somewhat lately was 'Amen'. There are quite a few slip-ups in this movie and given the extreme attitude of the germans I wonder how come the main character doesn't get killed (the only reason I can think for him staying alive is that HE IS If you haven't seen Schindler's List or La Vita E Bella or you're not familiar with history , The Pianist might pull a few tears from your eyes otherwise ... not. The only truly good part is the begining scene when he plays the piano and the shelling begins. Actually I liked the music so I got that song he plays (Chopin I think?) and that was it. Did I mention the movie is quite boring?
