The Germans are evil people

Rating: Null/10 (1 February 2003)

We must never forget that. Even the German officer at the end of the film wanted some payback for showing an ounce of humanity.
SPOILER : This is about a talented pianist who a rare survivor of the German occupation of Poland. The first part of the film he is in the Warsaw Ghetto. He is on his way to the death trains, when he lucks out and is saved by a fellow jew. He manages to be one of the trusted jews allowed to leave the ghetto and bring supplies back. He manages to escape and a few of his former Polish associates hide him out in a apartment. So, for most of the second half of the film you see the Warsaw Ghetto uprising through his window as he sneaks a peak. So for about two years he spends his time in a comfy apartment. Except no one brings him food so his is starving to death. Then for the last few months of the war he is without shelter and with Nazis all around him.
Szpilman didn't pad his role. He had it better that most jews and because of his talent people wanted to keep him alive.
