The Pianist
 

Just saw it, WOW what a great movie! TWO :thumbsup :thumbsup

one of the best ive ever seen. :thumbsup

Funny how it came out of nowhere and smoked its OSCARS competition. Great movie. Great depth of character without being overtly preachy.

I saw it for the first time last night. Excellent movie :thumbsup

Ya i want to see it! Thanks for the review!

it's a good movie, got boring on some scenes though

I believe its rated in the top 50 of all time at IMDB.

Ditto on both scores!

I have yet to see this movie.. the wife keeps wanting to see it..

I guess I'll have to rent it..

Media

yeah pretty good

It was a very good movie - it is interesting how Polanski remembers his childhood - the scenes of bodies lying all over the streets, the wheelchair coming out of the apartment window etc, but I think that Adrian Brodi didn't have the skills to pull of the main character - at some parts he seemed to be doing a Stan Laurel impression - but still a very good movie.

BTW the best movie I ever seen about the war and its effects on people was "Pasquilinis Seven Beauties" - anyone who has seen it will never forget the female Commandant in the POW camp.

I thought a lot was Holocaust-cliche. There's a Nazi SS officer shooting a bunch of prostrate men in the head, there's the obligatory gun-jamming part, there's the poor family in the Jewish ghetto selling all their possessions for pennies on the dollar, there's the Jew working as an officer for special perks, there's the "token" German soldiers with a heart, there's the tear-jerking scenes as the liberators roll into town ...

good shit!

I seen it 2x , i thought was way better then the shindlers list.

Very realistic! and graphic! a bit long but a solid movie!

Yeah, I saw it too.. Great movie!

I can't remember the last time before the Pianist that I paid twice to see a film in the cinema. Not only was the story told brilliantly but I was also struck by the camera work and set design. They did so much with what is basiclly different shades of gray.

There's just something about the Holocost that makes for incredible stories. I loved The Pianist and Life Is Beautiful is my favorite movie.

agreed excellent flick :thumbsup

Yep, great movie!

Very good indeed :)
