The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

We can say without hesitation The Pianist is a masterpiece. Thls movle is based on true story of Wladyslaw Szpilman who in the 1930s (in war time) was considered one of the most successful pianist. But the movie is not about his success. It is about A Polish jew who was fought against all bad things and faced situations that he never imagined and he finally survived by losing everything and everyone. The character played by Adrien Brody. He is tremendous actor who captures his character completely and carries the film with his amazingly real performance. He makes the story of an unforgettable experience. The dramatic life or death plot is very gripping. It is a very touching movie that should be seen by everyone.

The movie is spectacular and you can imagine the hard world to Judes people in this time. You can imagine the difficulties to them. You mustsee this movie! In my TOP, I have any doubt abut this. The pianist can transmite th++his feelings with his sad eyes and with his very but very sad music playing in piano. The atmosphere in this time was so terrible and it possible for us to imagine are in them own places. Very similar like Schindler list. I love this movie. Very good!
