MOVIE OF THE WEEK: The pianist
"The Pianist" is a hunting and deeply emotional potrayal of one man's survival during one of the darkest periods in history. Directed by Roman Polanski, the film is based on the life of Wladyslaw Szpliman, a gifted Polish-Jewish pianist whose world is torn apart by the Nazi during World War II. Played by Adrien Brody, Spilman is strippped of everything he loves-family, home, and his music- as he is forced into a desperate fight for survival.
As the horrors of the Holocaust unfold, Szpilman's story becomes not just one of endurance, but of the human spiritual ability to find hope amidst unimagable dispare. Music, once his passion, becomes his silent refuge in world shattered by war. Polanski, himself a Holacaust survivor, infuses the film with heartbreaking authenticity, capturing moments of quiet dignity and the fragile thread of hope that keeps Szpliman alive.
'The pianist' is not just a war film, but a soul-stirring tribute to the resilioence of the human spirit in the face of overwelming tradegy.

Henryk Szpilman: "If you prick us, do we not bleed? It you tickle us, we we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?"
