Ahdistava, mutta toivoa antava ja koskettava tarina. On hyvä, että tehdään elokuvia erilaisista historian tapahtumista, olivat ne sitten iloisia tai ahdistavia. Niiden avulla ihmiset toivottavasti eivät toista samoja virheitä.

What is The Pianist about? Toggle content

In "The Pianist," a gifted Polish-Jewish musician fights for survival amidst the harrowing backdrop of World War II. As the Nazi regime tightens its grip, he is forced from his home into the squalor of the Warsaw ghetto, where hope dwindles and despair looms large. Through courage and resilience, he navigates a precarious life of hiding, evading capture while clinging to his identity as an artist. Stripped of dignity and comfort, he discovers fleeting moments of humanity in unexpected places—even amidst brutality. As war ravages his city, music becomes both a solace and a powerful connection to life beyond the chaos. This poignant tale underscores the strength of the human spirit during one of history's darkest periods.
