The way he made it in warfare in the movie is so sad that one man a man in hell for what he did could get all the germans to believe that jews were bad even though they are people like you and me
The ending is shit because the german died just by being in a prison camp and Szpilman never went back after to save the german officer and he helped Szpilman. I know that if i was Szpilman i would go back for the german officer
@HandyAssassins the German guy is now considered a hero in Poland and has got other medals for his actions to Szpilman, read the guys biography on Google.
@HandyAssassins Szpilman didnt identify the officer that saved his life until 1950 and he did try to save him with the help of the poles for two years for his release but he died due to sever forced labor
How in the world could any man write such a beautiful piece of music? Most of Chopin pieces lead me back to this question. Surely, a real genious by every sense of the word.
@vbatuhan Yes, I think you are right it's beautiful. I often think of Chopin and what a lovely person he must have been to have produced such poetic music. M
@LyrixxGurl@kris242 yes he had to learn the piano for the movie, but it wasn't enough for him to play Chopin's works, if they had waited for him it would have taken 10 years to finish the movie :D so they had a real musician play the songs :D
It was sad but unfortunately so truthful and just brilliant movie-masterpiece from master Roman Polanski. He did a great job and deserved his Oscar. The same with Adrien Brody - phenomenal acting!!! The whole cast was great. The Pianist is one of my favorite War movies - along with Escape from Sobibor (1987), Schindler's List (1993), Life Is Beautiful (1997), Savior (1998) and Black Book (2006).
This has got to be one of the most intricate pieces of music ever written for the piano. I can play only the first 40 seconds before my hands give out.
I commented on the cursor a long time ago...it is not from WoW...it is from warcraft 3. 90% of WoW players have never even played Warcraft 3 and just assume they know what they are talking about.
To me this version by Janusz Olejniczak is the best!!!!! Musicality and phrasing!!... this is a REAL POLONAISE! By the way, how I laughed when I saw the people of carton in the box at 0:48!! HAHAHA and I think in the rows at the same time Wladeck's brother is there!! "but" in the movie all his family was killed, including his brother... Anyway he's there. Obviously "the people of carton" were made because they couldn't pay for more people. I just tell this because I saw it and think it's funny!.
Amazing that he had the drive to continue playing after losing everything...his family, his love interest, his home, his possessions, his health...everything.
we watched this movie for the first time in school a few days ago, and we watched the whole credits. everyone was sitting there waiting, bored, for it to end while I, being a musician myself, was glued to the screen the whole time. same with the scene where he performs for the german soldier. it was really quite funny.
This movie made me cry so hard, and not just because I'm a piano player. The ending... my sister was like, "Aw it's so happy!" and I was sitting there bawling like a baby.
I have the DVD The Pianist & from watching the "How it Was Made" segment I can say.... Yes.... Adrian did actually play the piano in the film he had intensive lessons for a couple of months prior & during the shooting of the film.... As a Classically trained Pianist, I have to give Mr. Brody every compliment under the sun for achieving in a matter of months what takes others years to perfect....
@MsTazTime I find that very very hard to believe. There's absolutely no way anybody could learn this in a few months from scratch unless they were a genius.
This is the best performance of this Polonaise I have ever heard. I do not even know the name of the pianist. It proves that there are so many unknown great pianists in our midst. Thank you for posting.
adrien brody played some pieces like chopin prelude in the beggining and chopins ballade no 1.But the last song the grand brilliante played by a polish pianist i dont remember his name..
this is a really wonderful movie. i HONESTLY cried through mostly all of it because it was so touching. i feel bad for all the people who died just because they were jews. i feel bad for what Wladyslaw Szpilman had to go through. but im glad he got out of the situation and was lucky to have god and captain wilm hosenfeld on his side. i just really wish i had gotten the chance too meet him so i can hear his story and how he felt through his mouth.
@modrenwarefare Roman Polanski wanted to make the scenes a bit more realistic, so Adrian took a bit of piano before shooting. Thanks to this, some of the playing IS actually by Adrian Brody. However, this excellent piece is performed by Janusz Olejniczak as stated in the credits.
no it was a man that looks just like him got to well of course utube and put in the man playing the pianist song and looks just like him or something like that and it shows a video of the guy that was accutally playing the piano
there are a lot of composers out there beethoven, bach ,mozart, but not all of their work is great but chopin is simply marvelous all of his work, each and every piece.
