THE PIANIST DIRECTED BY ROMAN POLANSKI

This is my second movie review and also my sixth assignment review for the Critical Literacy’s assignment. I am going to review a movie ‘The Pianist’, a biographical war film directed by Roman Polanski. This movie is a very interesting movie for me. The main actor, Adrien Brody who cast as Władysław Szpilman is a famous Polish Jewish pianist working for Warsaw Radio (taken from Wikipedia).

At the beginning of the plot, Szpilman’s country was attacked by the German army. Britain and France had declared war on Nazi Germany. This is when the whole villagers live turns out worst. After their country had been ruled by the Germans’ army. The Jews has to live in an awful life everyday and they witness each of the sadistic activity.

Szpilman’s family is desperate because the Nazi’s had limited their right to own the money, the food and ask them to wear the band. The family gives a very good example for us. Even though they are desperate, but their family bonds are tight. They share the foods even it is not enough to fill their stomach. It shows that they are not a selfish person and care toward each other.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t help them to stay together when one day Szpilman is separated from his family. The army forced him to stay and become a slave labourer with others. Szpilman shows his sad expression and it also make me cry too, but since he is a man, he surely got a strong heart. Although he has to be a slave, sharing the foods, being tortured by the Nazi, he still put up a spirit to live. He never gives up until one day, he manage to escape from the cruel Nazi. I love the spirit shows in this movie, it help me to be strong no matter what circumstances go through our live. In the end, Szpilman’s spirit help himself to live and Warsaw is free from the Nazis. He become a very famous pianist around the world and live happily until his last breath.
