If you watch it as a political statement, it is of course, moral and well balanced ( good/bad/ German/ Polish )- By the way the guy who played the SS oficer is the son of our ex neighbour..)
But, for a film I am more demanding that to follow the story line, I want more than a documentary ( and the best example for understanding the true history of the jews in central Europe has been already been film " Sunshine " neither a good film but the exact description of the jewish life around the century till the dark age of mankind )
The stroy as you said is beautiful, BUT the way it is brought to the screen is not, and that is the problem, the reasons I see are in my first post. And again as a statement it is of course not only valuable but a necessity.
What offend me is in the scene is all the personn ( we ) are waiting for the revolver NOT to fire ( as in Schindler´s ) but of course it did.
The second ( they are more ) is the citing of Shakespeare ( if they...) who was the invention of Lubitsch in To be or not to be, in my eyes the BEST film ever ( in the Fiction / non fiction category).
This one is perfect, nothing compare to it.
The second one is " the Great Dictator " with the most genious scenes ever, but the last half hour is too melodramatic and out of focus & sentimental even if considered as an utopia and a so well meant statement, here again a political statement did destroy ( not sooo badly ) one of the best film against idiocy and foolishness of our mankind.
I was in Auschwitz and I could feel the intention of Spiel / man/ berg.
Even if the Jewish community arfound the world found it too sooft and not " real enough ".
It was at least more than an honorable effort.
The Pianist was not " a bad film " I just have wanted more. Polansky lost HIS touch long time ago.
And I fear he will never regain it, ever.
Think of " The knife " and even his satire " Le Bal des vampires " was marvelous and so Jewish...perfect.
