5 out of 5 stars The Pianist   September 23, 2008
Hey, we watched this DVD Movie, had never heard of it before I bought it. We, two adults over 50, both think it is extra special. A sensitive dealing with the WWII is combined with the development of the protagonist, our pianist friend. He is just magnificent. And it even has a message for us here in comfy cozy USA, of 2008. Man you should see it!


5 out of 5 stars One of the best movies ever.   December 4, 2007

This is one of the best movies out there. Completely deserving of the 3 Academy Awards it won (Best Actor, Best Director, & Best Screenplay).

If you like old war movies, with high drama, and a great story, this is a good movie for you. It is a long movie, but worth the watch.



4 out of 5 stars feels authentic   November 6, 2007

A movie that makes you feel like you are realy living in 1940's poland because everything seems and feels authentic. Admittedly, not as good a movie as Schindler's list or even Europa Europa. But even though not as good, those movies felt like they were a bit over dramatized for effect (for a good purpose mind you). If you are a history buff, or one that questions what actually happened during WWII, perhaps this film will help you get a clearer picture of what actually happened (yes I know this is just a movie, but it is based on a person's real life experiences).
I would like to see more movies like this. Not only that of jewish experience during WWII, but also that of all participants of the war and done in a realistic manner, with real people's stories and experiences.



1 out of 5 stars Slow Paced and disappointing to say the least   June 7, 2007

It's been a year since I seen the pianist, The movie has an overall good storyline but the slow paced scenes are "yawn worthy" if you like movies that have long and slow dialog than you'll truly love this film.

I found the movie to be very informational. My son was learning about the Holocaust in school and the movie answered a lot of his questions.
