Deeply Moving

An amazing, true story.
This movie is based on memoirs written only a few years after the events took place.
I also read the book by the same name, and the movie is a faithful account and brings the book to life. Only God could have preserved this fine musician to bring hope and restoration to the Polish people after the war.

A powerful work

Director Roman Polanski has done a fine work by creating THE PIANIST on the screen.

The story about a Polish Jew, who evades imprisonment in the Warsaw ghetto and begins a precarious existence on the increasingly war-ravaged streets of Poland, was adapted from the book by Wladyslaw Szpilman. Screenwriter Ronald Harwood did an excellent job on the screenplay and Polanski delivers a powerful film.

Al of the actors, including Academy Award winner Adrien Brody, performed wonderfully.
