A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2004)

OK folks...here is the truth. I almost slept while watching Schindler's List...That movie I guess was first of its kind and I can understand its impact which it had on people. I though it was bit dragging sometimes. Don't get me wrong here, that movie was too lengthy for the content. I don't think anybody would talk about the movie Schindler's List, instead they would talk about Schindler.
It is not the same with 'The Pianist'. It just pulls you into another world and you realize it only when the movie is over. Tremendous movie making!! The central character in the movie is of course the pianist Szpilman but the movie comes a full circle by portraying the life around the pianist. It is the movie making that is prominent here. If someone talks about Szpilman more than Roman Polanski and the movie in general, I would be surprised. Here it is Roman Polanski that sells. For Schindler's list, it is Schindler who sells not Spielberg.
