The various images of brutal and inhuman genocide in the opening deeply create a tragic atmosphere for the film. szpilman has gone through all kinds of hardships. Some of the scenes in the film looking for food seem a bit redundant, but they don't feel chaotic. It should be arranged by the director! Intended to point out the tenacious vitality of art.
The family photo on the German officer's table at the end of the film makes the cruelty of the whole film a little warmer. The director's deliberate arrangement makes the officer in front of him different! This officer is a man who understands music, and his expression when listening to szpilman's performance depicts the character's psychological state! War creates tragedies, and officers hope that the light of humanity against the backdrop of art can wash away the guilt of the man under the German uniform.
Art knows no race or borders. Even war cannot deny such a fact! Art can't be sullied!
In the end, I felt that the film was called "The Pianist" on purpose, and neither Jews nor refugees could replace such a name. Pianists can defeat the Extinct! The power of art!
