The Pianist is a unique holocaust movie in that it is solely from the point of its protagonist. What he is experiencing is what we see, but since as viewer we know the true horrors that would await him if he was taken to a concentration camp his continued survival is all the more important to us. Adrien Brody won an Oscar for his performance and it was extremely well deserved. That someone could survive for seven years under those types of conditions shows you how resilient human beings can be when their existence is at stake.
