I had heard amazing things about this movie, so going into it I had high hopes. I thought the plot was a little slow but the story was very interesting to me and I loved how they told the story of what Jews had to go through in the Holocaust by focusing in on one main person. I felt that I learned so much about the time period in this movie, and it seemed very real and realistic. I liked how music was involved and how it was one of the driving factors in the movie.
Szpilman was in a very scary position and honestly, he did not have very many other options. He was lucky enough to survive as long as he already has and he was very lucky to have so many friends that are not Jews to help him and give him a home. When the Nazis confronted him, I would imagine that he would be extremely frightened but willing to do anything to stay alive. I also think that when Hosenfeld asked Szpilman to play the piano, it made him see Szpliman as a real and normal person similar to himself. Even though he is Jewish, he is a still a person and has feelings also. Szpliman got very lucky that he met those Nazis and not others because the ending to his story may have been very different.
