pianist

The film tears us apart all kinds of war, human nature, and reality. When the Nazis lightly knocked the trigger and punched holes in the brains and foreheads of the Jews. When the child was broken and the spine died. When the mother smothered her child to death and became insane. When the old man in the wheelchair was thrown alive from the balcony and fell to his death. Every point and every scene are so shocking. An outstanding pianist, later, just because he was a persecuted Jew, he became a desperate who became unrecognizable in order to survive. War is complicated, human nature is complicated, and reality is also complicated. Shibman, an unarmed artist, survives in such a troubled world, but he has great luck and a tenacious desire to survive, stumbles, and finally sits in the splendid concert hall again, playing the Polish Chopin. . Behind him are the deceased relatives, the beneficiaries who have gone away, the benefactors who have disappeared, and the countless Jews who died of unfaithfulness during World War II. At the end, in the ruins of Warsaw late at night, a ragged desperado plays Chopin's ballads accompanied by German Nazis.

In fact, he is just a pianist who focuses on art.
