A brilliant pianist, a Polish Jew, witnesses the restrictions Nazis place on Jews in the Polish capital, from restricted access to the building of the Warsaw ghetto. As his family is rounded up to be shipped off to the Nazi labor camps, he escapes deportation and eludes capture by living in the ruins of Warsaw.
The true story of Wladyslaw Szpilman who, in the 1930s, was known as the most accomplished piano player in all of Poland, if not Europe. At the outbreak of the Second World War, however, Szpilman becomes subject to the anti-Jewish laws imposed by the conquering Germans. By the start of the 1940s, Szpilman has seen his world go from piano concert halls to the Jewish Ghetto of Warsaw and then must suffer the tragedy of his family deported to a German concentration camps, while Szpilman is conscripted into a forced German Labor Compound. At last deciding to escape, Szpilman goes into hiding as a Jewish refugee where he is witness to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (April 19, 1943 - May 16, 1943) and the Warsaw Uprising (1 August to 2 October 1944)

This movie is the most impressive movie for me. Wladyslaw Szpilman was a successful pianist and his life was good until the World War II. After the beginning of the war, his life became a nightmare because of the occupancy to Poland. Poland was occupaid by Germany and Nazis began to kill everyone. The conditions of that people was the most effective scenes for me. This movie contain bad and terrible scenes mostly because of the topic but after I watched this movie I understood that the importance of people's life because I couldn't believe how could some people did such a bad violence like this? This movie is really impressive for everbody.
It is a great film specially Adrien Brody is very good in his role.He maked the film more effective.
