None of Szpilman's family survived. He did not know the name of the German officer until 1951. Despite the efforts of Szpilman and the Poles to rescue him, Hosenfeld died in a Soviet prisoner of war camp in 1952.

Szpilman found the the Russian prison where the German soldier was being held and tried to have him be released for saving him. He wasn't able to free him but was able to meet the German soldier family and tell his wife and children he was a great man who saved Szpilman's life.

Glad I’m not the only person who thinks the Russians as monsters for not recognizing that most Germans they captured and allowed to die in gulags were victims of the Nazi party just like everyone else. It’s like they refused to acknowledge that the Nazi SS would kill Germans who refused to fight for them. And now, the Russians are at it again being monsters in Ukraine.
The German officer who helped Władysław Szpilman is Captain Wilhelm Adalbert Hosenfeld (2 May 1895 - 13 August 1952). He helped hide several Polish people, including Jews, in Nazi-German occupied Poland. He was taken prisoner by the Red Army and died in Soviet captivity in 1952. In October 2007, Hosenfeld was posthumously honoured by the president of Poland Lech Kaczyński with a Commander’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta. In June 2009, Hosenfeld was posthumously recognized in Yad Vashem (Israel's official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust) as one of the Righteous Among the Nations.

I remember watching this a long long time ago. It is still one of the most powerful stories of survival that I have ever seen. It still brings back vivid emotions.
The true story of the Polish Jewish pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman, who escaped deportation to the concentration camps by remaining in the Warsaw ghetto during the Nazi occupation. Nice film
07:42 when I saw that movie in the theater more than one screamed the same way, that scene makes your blood run cold because of how raw it is. This movie is literally Polanski's childhood. All the awards he won were more than deserved, including the Oscar for Roman himself. Beautiful reaction, girls.

This movie was so brutal, especially when the child-stealing food is near beaten to death with his eyes rolled back in his head. I myself play piano and to see the heights from which Szlenski starts to where he falls is just heartbreaking and soul-crushing, all in his bid for survival.

31:11 the German officer Wilm Hosenfeld then Wilm Hosenfeld saved Wladyslaw Szpilman's life, filmed in 2002 in The Pianist Wilhelm Adalbert "Wilm" Hosenfeld (born May 2, 1895 in Mackenzell near Fulda; † August 13, 1952 in Stalingrad) was a Wehrmacht officer in World War II who probably killed at least 30 Polish citizens, including several Jews, during the German occupation of Warsaw saved. Hosenfeld became known through the description in Władysław Szpilman's autobiography The Pianist - My Wonderful Survival, which was made into a film by Roman Polański (The Pianist). The Jerusalem Holocaust Memorial Yad Vashem awarded Hosenfeld posthumously the honorary title Righteous Among the Nations in November 2008. It was not until 1951 that Szpilman found out the name of his helper and that he was a Soviet prisoner of war. He tried to save him, but Hosenfeld died on August 13, 1952 at the age of 57 in the Stalingrad POW camp. In January 1945 he was taken prisoner by the Soviets. Truthfully, he stated that the sports department he ran was organizationally subordinate to Department Ic. This information was his undoing, because in addition to the troop support, this department also performed intelligence tasks. In order to obtain information about his alleged secret service activities from Hosenfeld, he was subjected to "strict interrogation" in the Minsk remand prison. After six months of torture and solitary confinement, he was a broken man. He suffered the first stroke. In 1950 he was sentenced to 25 years of forced labor as a war criminal without proof of any offense. Several times he tried in vain to be extradited to Poland. Despite the intercession of those he rescued, Hosenfeld was not released. Paralyzed on one side and desperate, he died on August 13, 1952 at the age of 57 in the Stalingrad prisoner-of-war camp of internal bleeding, probably caused by mistreatment. Szpilman did not find out the name of his helper until 1950. In 1957 he visited Hosenfeld's widow in Thalau and told her that her husband had saved him the Protestant-pacifist way of thinking of Wilm Hosenfeld The Leuphana University of Lüneburg has awarded the Hosenfeld / Szpilman Memorial Prize annually since 2005. Musicological examinations, research work from the cultural and human sciences and studies from an educational perspective can be submitted. In October 2007, Hosenfeld was posthumously honored by the Polish President Lech Kaczyński for the rescue of Polish citizens with the order of Polonia Restituta (Commander). In October 2008, a square in the Kassel district of Biebergemünd was named after Wilm Hosenfeld. The Jerusalem Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem named Hosenfeld posthumously on November 25, 2008 as Righteous Among the Nations. The appointment of the former Wehrmacht officer was made at the request of Władysław Szpilman in 1998 and after years of efforts by his son Andrzej Szpilman. This was preceded by intensive research on the part of the memorial, which ensured that Hosenfeld had not been involved in any war crimes. Wilm Hosenfeld's birthplace in Mackenzell was named Wilm-Hosenfeld-Haus on March 11, 2011. On February 25, 2018, a memorial stone was inaugurated at the Thalau elementary school. It pays tribute to Hosenfeld's work and is a reminder and reminder for future generations.

The last 20 minutes of the movie, is just another level of physical acting. Brody's mouth is twisted, representing Jundis, he shows what hunger can get to. So few experience such a suffering or wish to. This on such another level of representing human despair. I've only seen from a few great like Daniel Day-Lewis, Brando, Tom Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino.
One of my favorite movies about WWII and the book is so moving. It will give you more information about Hosenfeld, he helped a lot more people, specially polish.
The pianist is so intense, stark, and depressing. I can only watch this when I'm in a good mood. It makes me remind myself of the saying, "life is never as good as it seems, and life is never as bad as it seems."

As for the ruthlessness and brutality of the people, I think the "Stanford Prison Experiment" is a good example. I recommend reading about it. Several films were also made based on it. He explains at least partially why normal people, with families and never harming anyone, in the face of even war, succumb to animalism and proceed to acts that they would probably condemn themselves earlier.

@@primary2630 They were ordinary people. Students psychologically tested before the experiment to exclude any disorders and checked for criminal past, so that their behavior was not dictated by experience and was spontaneous. The experiment showed that ordinary people, under the influence of their surroundings and certain events and conditions, become victims and torturers. This translates into the behavior of soldiers during wars. If there is no discipline and no good example from above, soldiers display aggression and immoral behavior. If the leadership sets a bad example for them, induces unacceptable behavior and dehumanizes people under the control of the soldiers, tragic events take place. Most of the soldiers are ordinary people with families, jobs, and normal lives. There are psychic ones who test their distortions in such conditions, but they have to hide from it. However, if the command allows cruelty or even encourages it, it starts to happen on a massive scale, like the German or Soviet army during WWII, or the Russian army now in Ukraine. The participants in the experiment were helped in the form of special therapy, and they were contacted 10 years after the experiment to see if there were any long-term effects. The creator of the experiment suggested the same therapy to soldiers and prisoners from the incident during the Second Iraqi War, where behavior similar to that in the Abu Gharib prison occurred.
"Because it's f****** cold! Are you stupid, or what?!" Great line
At last, I have waited a long time for this reaction. I was already looking forward to it. The Pianist is a very good and cool film about life under occupation in Poland during the Second World War. I recommend you to watch other very cool movies about the Second World War: "Katyń"(2007), "Warsaw'44"(2014), "Stones for the Rampart"(2014), "Volhynia"(2016), "In Darkness" (2011), "Tomorrow we are going to the movies/Jutro idziemy do kina"(2007), "„W” Hour"(1979), "Karol: A Man Who Became Pope"(2005). These are really valuable movies, especially the last one mentioned. This film shows that despite all the cruelty of war, you can remain human and still love another human being.
Excellent movie. Shows how complex can be human relations both in peace and war. And that there is always a glympse of hope. Abou the german officer who helped him, "was captain Wilm Hosenfeld, which died in soviet POW camp in 1952".
Hosenfeld died in a soviet prisoner of war camp shortly before Szpilman managed to find out where he had been taken.
Greetings from Poland. Those were times huh? Glad my grandparents survived the w. Main character name was Władysław Szpilman. 13:30 kartofel = potato in polish ^.^
I love your reaction when he was wearing the German officer’s coat and they thought he was the enemy. 🤣
And this kind of atrocity is going on as we speak to innocent people.
Yes, this was possible, and it was actually not that long ago. Heck, it´s happening still today in the world. And that is why movies like this are so important, that we must never forget. And fight it when we encounter it wherever we can.

What I don't understand is how peaceful they are in these movies. There's no reason not to go down swinging and by swinging I mean stabbing them in the neck with anything you can sharpen. Personally, I would rather go out like Spike Spiegel so this silent resistance is baffling to me. You can say they'd retaliate but what difference does it make if they are just going to kill them one by one any eventually.

Desperation, promises to bring back prosperity, blaming of a certain group for their troubles, lies told thousands of times until they become like truth.
Adrian Brody is a good actor, especially the movie king kong remake for 2005 including the actress Naomi watts and actor Jack black
This is just the story of one man and his journey to survive and evade genocide, tens of thousands, maybe millions share a similar story, the struggle just to survive, the wait for the war to end and Germans to be defeated felt endless. This is a beautiful film and even better story.
Geez, do I have a crazy story, I have relatives on both sides of this war. One side is german pride of not what they did but how proficient how they did.

Excellent movie to react, the actor had some health problems after this movie for having lost so much weight to play the role, also if I'm not mistaken he also went a month without eating, or something like that, to be able to feel what the person felt in real life, at least that's what I remember hearing... another beautiful movie for everyone to react to is "I am Sam", played by Sean Penn, Dakota Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer, it's a good opportunity since there are almost no reactions to that film. Greetings.
the nazi's antisemitism wasn't really about the jews being evil, but them being inferior and 'contaminating the nordic blood'. that's why even children didn't matter to them, because the children had the same 'unpure blood'. and the nazis didn't start their hate from ground zero; antisemitism was already around for centuries (back then mainly for religious reasons). the nazis basically just combined the already existing antisemitism with darwinist ideas and made it about race - instead of religion.
