    The Pianist is on the list of 100 great films of the 21st century according to the BBC. The film tells the story of a Polish-Jewish pianist named Władysław Szpilman. He witnessed and went through a journey of hardship, suffering like many other Jews under the Nazi era. He was also separated from his family, working for the German army in a concentration camp. He participated in the uprising, then escaped and ended up at the top.


    The Pianist explores the content that is said to be an "indifferent" aspect but also leaves many meanings that make us think during the war. It means that the main character is neither a soldier nor a hero. He is simply an ordinary person trying to do the best he can. That survival, in addition to his efforts, is thanks to the good people around, including the evil side of the main faction. It is the love of a lonely person in a special situation that makes the younger brother think more.
