When he was leaning against the wall, he was in shock, what was he thinking.
The depiction of human nature in the film has been praised by too many words. That kind of objective perspective describes the situation throughout the period. The objective is almost cruel and precise.
Director Roman Polanski used the third perspective to switch to the first perspective more in this film, using the eyes of the protagonist to see the cruelty of war. In the performance of massacres and local wars, there is no implicit element at all, and the scenes of continuous almost absurd massacres by the German army are straightforwardly represented. Refugees who were killed innocently on the street, mothers who killed their babies with their own hands, children who did not know what to do with money but insisted on touting milk candy, impersonal Jewish police, women who were shot and killed only because they asked a word... The scenes that have been scrutinized show up, which makes people feel heavy.
This is a cruel tragic analysis of human nature.
In the kosher bar, Chopin’s music and the businessman selfishly verifying gold coins, Valle’s fingers still trembling in extreme distress, the melody played in his mind, the muddy hands rubbing in hunger and fear, Germany on the top of the piano The military uniform still has a sad and emotional melody. These are details, and it is the details that determine the depth of the film.
And what really fascinates me in this film is its unique perspective.
Art is not a luxury. Its foundation is to make us live better and make us tougher in desperate situations. Thousands of people survived the war, and each one suffered differently. Valie is a pianist, he has music around him, and he is stronger, more flexible, and thinner than others. He was sculpting death while escaping from death, bringing us a kind of hope of life and giving us the courage to face some setbacks we encountered ourselves.
I remember that in class, the teacher analyzed this Chopin's first ballad to us. It is said that it is a song written by Chopin for the motherland and war. At that time, I couldn't understand the meaning of this, and I hurriedly wrote down the key points of musical analysis and the beautiful harmony. Well, where the passion is, it's passion. Where there is tenderness, tenderness. That was the thinking at the time. Then when the class came, the teacher told us dissatisfied that your performance has no soul. You have to understand the feelings of the composer.
Now that I watched this video again, I seemed to understand what the teacher wanted to express.
Because the German officer actually asked Valle to play Chopin's music. Perhaps it expresses the desire for peace and the spurning of war, but after all, beautiful things know no borders.
As for the summary of "The Pianist", probably only this sentence is the most accurate.
Contrast war with the most beautiful art in the world.
