Polanski stayed close to the true story. He documented more than directed. The worth of the film *is* the worth of the story--and it can be watched on so many levels.As an ultimate portrayal where anti-Semitism leads.
As the man stripped of his possessions, stripped of his home, stripped of his dignity, stripped of his family, stripped of his will to fight, stripped of his health. . .and still he could not be stripped of what he had learned deep in his soul from playing the piano, which ultimately kept him alive.
As the personification of genocide.
Albee called it a "droopy eyed" performance. I would like to know how one keeps his eyes from drooping when he has nothing to eat and is dying of jaundice. A bright eyed actor will not be particularly convincing. You accuse Polanski of "stealing" the scene of the nazi shooting his gun. There were enough instances of that to make a million movies and still not "steal". Or did you think the same person was being shot in "Schindler's List" (which really did offend me as a big hollywood production) as in "The Pianist"?
