Wow... What an emotional film that was. I remember watching it in like year 8 at school for a history lesson, it was not half as hard hitting then. The suffering and heart ache the Polish Jewish citizens went through was just shocking.
The film follows a pianist on Polish radio throughout the war, from when his family leaves for the ghetto to when their sent to work camp, followed by his escape and survival throughout the most terrfying 6 years imaginable. Szpilman (played by Adrian Brody) hides, works, escapes, hides, relocates and hides some more throughout the course of the war after being spared scenes of the Nazi death camps.
Directed by Roman Polanski, famous for directing 'Rosemary's Baby' and 'The Ninth Gate', has certainly captured the fear felt by the victims of the Nazi villians. It is definately on the list of war films to see before you die, but be ready to see the pain and torture people went through during World War Two.
