The story tells the story of a genius Polish Jewish pianist during World War II, hiding everywhere to avoid falling into the claws of the Nazis. He suffered from hunger and all kinds of humiliation in the Jewish Quarter in Warsaw, and was under the threat of death all day long. He escaped a carpet search and hid in the ruins of the city. Fortunately, his musical talent moved a German military officer. Under the protection of the military officer, the pianist finally came to the end of the war and ushered in the dawn of freedom. Some people say that he is about life, but more often the movie shows only the most basic survival before our eyes; some people say that this movie is about freedom and dignity, but more often, what you see through the screen is just The desire for life and the fear of death. Let us understand from another angle the meaning of cherishing what you have and cherishing life.

The Pianist quotes

  • [Szpilman is discovered by the Polish army, wearing the German dress coat given him by Capt. Hosenfeld]

    Wladyslaw Szpilman: No. Please. I'm Polish. I'm not a German.

    Polish Soldier: Then why the fucking coat?

    Wladyslaw Szpilman: I'm cold.

  • Wladyslaw Szpilman: It's an official decree, no Jews allowed in the parks.

    Dorota: What, are you joking?

    Wladyslaw Szpilman: No, I'm not. I would suggest we sit down on a bench, but that's also an official decree, no Jews allowed on benches.

    Dorota: This is absurd.

    Wladyslaw Szpilman: So, we should just stand here and talk, I don't think we're not allowed to do that.
