This movie is a brutally honest portrayal of the Nazi invasion in Warsaw during World War 2 and the subsequent struggle to survive by the renowned Jewish pianist Władysław Szpilman. The movie does not glorify Szpilman but applauds his strong willpower and mental strength. The ghetto scenes which are drawn from Polanski’s own experiences will bring you to tears.
