"Roman Polanski's incredibly moving true story of famed Polish pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman's (try saying that ten times fast!) life and survival during WWII. I've probably seen this film 20 times or more now, and it never gets old. Every time I watch it, something new occurs to me and makes the story poignant all over again (this time, it was how much passion, anger & sadness is in the song that Wladyslaw plays when he is caught by the German soldier in the house. It was WWII put to music - it's an incredible song!). Oddly enough, I don't own the soundtrack to this...yet. This is certainly in my top 20 films of all time and comes HIGHLY recommended. Sad, suspenseful, thrilling, beautiful and hopeful all at the same time - THIS is the way films should be done.

I took History, we studied World War 2, I don't remember this film being mentioned let alone watched. Not only would this film be very educational, but it might just stir up a sense of compassion which Britain seems to be lacking at the moment, espeically in it's youth. So I think that the compulsary viewing of this film in schools would be hugely beneficial. This film, like I said is one that you really need to have a set head for because it does deal with such a heavy content. If you aren't in the right frame of mind, you may get bored, or you may just turn it off as being too de ... "

"Pianist, The—Although I was reluctant to rent this DVD because it seemed like yet another Jews-in-Hitler’s-era film, it was one of the best movies of the year. Part of the power came from the movie’s faithfulness to the autobiography of a Jewish Polish pianist’s story of how he survived the horrors—just one man’s perspective. But part of the power also came from Roman Polanski’s excellent direction, where he drew on his experience as a child in occupied Europe. Jim Bell "
