Can't watch "The Pianist" at night. Too full and tricky details will drive the nerves crazy.

Someone starved to death on the road, and his son pulled his clothes and shouted over and over again, Dad, Dad

The child drooled over the meat in the glass across the window

German soldiers suddenly broke into a Jewish residential building, walked into the house of a group of people, and shouted that everyone there would stand up

An old man was sitting in a wheelchair, his fingers were forced, but he was still stuck in the wheelchair and couldn't get up.

Before he could say anything, the leading soldier shouted and threw him downstairs from the balcony.

Old man in wheelchair was thrown to death

The German soldiers continued to catch a few people and went downstairs, calling them to run like a dog. When these people ran out, they would shoot them to death indiscriminately.

Some people were shot and lay on the ground and didn’t die. Soldiers drove a truck and ran over them.

A mother hugged her baby and begged for help.

"Do you have water, a little bit of water, my son is starving to death..."

A little sympathy flashed on the faces of the people around, they continued to walk forward

And the woman was still spinning around, and it didn’t take long before the camera cut to another person.

The director is so cruel, you never know what will happen in the next second, at that moment, you already believe that everything is true, you can only follow the plot to feel the sadness

Life is bitter, only self-reliance

    [A+] No wonder Polanski said that this is his most proud work, and he deserves it. Leaving aside the superb and mature audiovisual expressions, Guan's "subjective peeping" perspective recurring in the film is enough to discuss. This kind of "subjective peeping" lens design is really powerful. On the one hand, it not only fits the protagonist's own escape hidden predicament, but also actively restrains those tyrannical images in terms of visual expression. On the contrary, it makes the emotion conveyed in the image more profound. Speaking of "restraint" is also one of the main themes of this film. Every picture is calm enough, and every character maintains a corresponding demeanor, which makes the human tragedy reflected behind it even more unbearable. This is a truly great anti-war movie. Whether it is audiovisual, emotional, or perspective and expression, it has achieved an impeccable appreciation of elegance and commonality, which is admirable.

  • Wladyslaw Szpilman: They bombed us, we're off the air.

    Henryk Szpilman: Warsaw's not the only radio station.
