"The Pianist": more than delicate, lack of strength
I know many of the highest in the evaluation of the film lies in its delicate and simple, and director Roman Polanski did is known for this style seem to recall many years ago, read "Tess", is also a near-line drawing of the picture, the effect is pretty extraordinary.nfl snapback hats But when the background of a feature film is being placed on World War II, especially in Germany and Poland on the piece of the battlefield, when the theme of the story relates to the Nazism and the persecution of Jews, as the audience, we always look forward to the intensity of something. Purely telling a tale I am afraid it is difficult to satisfy the audience's appetite.
Description of the Jews and the Nazi film is too much, of course, no shortage of classic. "The Pianist" outstanding can not be denied, most notably for sure is that it does not fall into the theme of war ills go, just to provoke the emotions of the audience are outraged for the purpose of writing history,ncaa snapback hats but with another moderate tone. This narrative method is not the shortcomings of the director's skill is also very deep, but have to talk about the film's inadequacies, I also have a few like to talk about.

The story is completely on the perspective of the protagonist Szpilman. This saves a lot of the complex is presented in, there is no description of the environment. We can see in the film, regardless of the concentration camps, or the Russian military stationed in, or the defeat of Germany these important events are just a passing from the encounter of the hero or the side of the cross. This design allow natural contradiction more focused,nba snapback hats more coherent plot, but also makes the audience feel less than war against the background, which can not be stirred the hearts of resonance. It can be seen in the film but also focus on the performance of the Jews suffered persecution, but those scenes did not tell the truth to make my nose sore eyes damp. At this point, it can not be said to "Schindler's List" contrast, "The Pianist" it is too lack a sense of history and the heavy sense. (This is definitely not because it is not black and white but in color.)

From a subject point of view, "The Pianist" has been marked for the film of the mark of a rich artistic and musical, too much good with the piano movie has a natural audience to the expectations of a high prepared moved well with the mood of listening to classical music, go to the movies, the results too feel that there is no fun.mlb snapback Hats Film, music and the piano is just a war in the footnotes but the director has not given what emotional significance of this footnote, it's just a blunt exist, barely storyboarding as clues. In fact, the music and the piano in the film and there is no pivotal position. Since Szpilman gave up the piano to 2000, seems to be a symbol of account of survival is much more important than music.
Szpilman to sell the table said "Food is more important than time." Perhaps we can also interpret the "Food is more important than a piano". Issue on "The Piano", the film once again gave up to touch the audience. Whether it is "The Piano Lesson" for piano can sell their Silent orthrowback snapback hats "Pianist" in order to piano can give up the life of 1900, their story, there is a natural to capture the power of people's hearts. Perhaps we may say, in order to survive the war can be at all costs, well, then at least they should let us see that he has to pay such costs how much sadness and distressed.

Since the Szpilman been saved from the destined for concentration camps train, he basically live a helpless life. Film before paving the way some people Szpilman able to survive after these man have played a crucial role. But the problem is that the director in the description of human nature, it is too simple. The family of the hero, with his ambiguous feelings Dorota, later in the film does not give a proper description. We have not seen some mixed feelings Dorata with Szpilman meet again when the last time she went to visit Szpilman, the words and tone do not see any attachment. This should be the most warmth elements again director faint disposed of, In contrast, it touches on the film last Szpilman exchanges with the German officers who most deeply moving.
I have always felt that a film no matter how realistic or line drawing, can never be depiction of the characters' inner default. Sean Penn's "Into the Wild" at this point is a classic example of it from beginning to end like painting a landscape, but the spirit of the characters are not missing, and it is full. The same classic "Beautiful Life", the film is almost no description of the war, but the spark of the spirit of the characters touched countless people. But in "The Pianist", but our grasp of the characters are ambiguous. Szpilman most concerned about in the end What is it? Support him to live in the end is a survival instinct or something else? Dorota is not always in love with him? Directed by the character in the end to convey what kind of feelings, or thinking, or belief, or what? The director seems to be too delicate description of scenes and characters, and everything except how to properly describe the soul of the character.
I know that "The Pianist" and "Schindler's List" and "Beautiful Life", and "Pianist", can not use the same criteria to judge it, can not say that this film is not impressive enough , not great. But at least in my eyes, it is fine more than lack of strength.
