The Pianist - Breathtakingly brilliant film. I loved this so much. It's an amazing testament to the human spirit that anyone could've survived the Warsaw ghettos which were so vividly portrayed in this film. My favourite part was near the end when a German officer, obviously aware that the Wermacht were losing at this point, discovers Wladyslaw Szpilman and asks him to play a song. Believing it to be the last song he will ever play it's as though he unleashes all the sorrow and anger that has built up within him thoughout the past 4 years in one perfect song. So taken with the brilliance of this the officer behins to help Szpilman to survive.
