A Very Emotional and One of the Polanski's best movies.

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2012)

An Excellent And Emotional Movie and Story(which i was amazed to find out that its a true story) of a polish-Jewish pianist who survives the World War II,along with an excellent and Oscar Deserving performance from Adrien Brody and great work to show his story from director Roman Polanski.
The Movie is about a Jewish Pianist who works for a local polish radio,but World War II breaks and when Poland is invaded by the Nazi Germany, he is separated from his family and must survive the war on his own,hiding in unknown houses due to help from some of his friends.It Shows how he is determined to survive the gruesome war,along with keeping his never-ending dedication to music and love of playing the piano.Some of the scenes are really gruesome,and you feel for the character throughout the movie.
A Great and emotional portrayal of Pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman by Adrien Brody, who got an Oscar for this performance,and probably he deserved it due to excellent acting of the character who is the heart of this movie.He acted excellently throughout the movie,specially in the last scene, when he plays the piano to save his live after getting caught in hiding by a German SS Officer.
Roman Polanski marked himself as one of the best directors of all time with this film, by showing the portrayal of this character superbly, also having a big part in Brody's Oscar Winning performance, along with showing the ruthlessness of the Nazis and the destruction of war in this movie perfectly. He made this into probably one of the best war movies of all time and one of his best till date.
The Story which is true events which occurred to the real Szpilman, written by his good friend Jerzy Waldorff is excellently written and well done to Ronald Harwood for writing an excellent screenplay and he got rewarded for it by winning an Oscar for it. The Background score in the movie is beautiful from Wojciech Kilar and Frederic Chopin and the music of piano in this movie is heart-warming.
This is surely one of the best war movies ever, Brody's best acted performance of the character and one of Polanski's best.
