The Pianist Movie Screening

Last week, I had a movie screening regarding this subject. The Pianist is the movie which is directed by Roman Polanski. It tells the story of a Polish Jew, a classical musician,Wladyslaw Szpilman who survived the Holocaust through stoicism and good luck. The movie screening started at 8 pm. At the beginning of the movie, i was a bit confused to get the clear view of the movie because i was trying to figure out what The Pianist is about. I started to ask how a musician can be related with the Jews. As the story expended, i finally managed to configure what it is about and started to enjoy it. However there was a bit distraction because of the poor sound system and there was no subtitle included.

Based on my understanding, the story took places during the World War 2 or Holocaust. At that time, it was the era of Nazis under the rule of Adolf Hitler. The Jews were hated and their lives seems meaningless. The city's Jews were forced to give up their possessions and move to the Warsaw ghetto. In addition, there was a somber shot of a brick wall being built to enclose it. This is where the heart-wrenching scene started. People were starving and will do anything just to get some foods. The strong hearted will survive but many old folks and kids died. Their dead body lie down on the street and nobody cared. Most of them only think about their own survival. I was shocked when i watched how the Nazis started to torture and killed the innocent like there were no value in their lives.

In my opinion, the Nazis were very cruel for killing all those peoples. The Jews were treated like puppets because the Nazis did anything they wanted and no one was able to stop them. I think not all the Jews were bad. Some of them only wanted to live their life in peacefully. The determination of the Jews especially Wladyslaw Szpilman to keep survived inspired me a lot. He knew how to use his ability to play piano to support his life. However, although he survived, i think it was not a victory when all whom he loved died.
