Don't miss this important and enjoyable film! WoW!

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2003)

"The Pianist" is one of only two movies which I have rated as a 10/10 so far. This movie is not only a work of art, it is an important movie. This movie is far superior to Schindler's list and has deeper insights into the experience of human beings whose freedoms and dignity have been taken away. Whereas "Schindler's List" was a cold, impersonal film without a glimmer of humanity or clue as to what morality is, "The Pianist" is a film that real and genuine people can relate to and will treasure for the lessons that may be drawn from it. This is a movie whose time has come! Without being political or preachy, this film tells the story of a pianist in Poland and what happens to him and his family during the German occupation of Poland. This movie is seamless and you won't want to miss a moment of this masterpiece. It has something to say about what is wrong in our world today. When good people do nothing, evil triumphs. This movie without a doubt should be seen by peace protesters and liberals everywhere who are indifferent to the suffering of people whose lives are tyrannized by a mad man like Hitler. It's inhuman to ignore what's going on every day in the lives of oppressed peoples the world over. The movie so subtly and yet powerfully drives home the truth that there is no peace except when good men stand up and fight the evil of dictatorships. The actors are uniformly superb. The story is riveting. The cinematograpghy, the period sets, the directing and the editing are unbelievable! Don't miss this important and enjoyable film! I give this film a 10 out of 10!
