It's sad to see people who just want to survive in life desperately try to survive in living.

He helped many Polish and Jewish people during his time as a German officer risking his own life by betraying Nazi orders. Unfortunately he died in a Soviet labor camp. The pianist tried really hard to get him free by having him and other Jewish people who the officer helped save testify his deeds to Soviet officials but they didn't care.

I can't believe that only ONE other person who has watched this incredible video knows the Chopin piece being played; so, without further ado, it's his Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23 (composed in 1835, after his move to Paris from a lengthy stay in Vienna. Robert Schumann first heard the piece in 1836 and said (to Chopin himself!) that he thought the piece "the best and most ingenious of all your compositions." After a lengthy pause, Chopin replied, "I am very happy to hear this since I too like it very much and hold it very close to my heart." I think we may all agree that we hold Chopin's Ballades (and Nocturnes, Scherzi, Preludes and Etudes) very close to our hearts as well. How much of today's music will move future generations even remotely as much as this 185-year-old masterpiece? I prophesy, with all possible assurance: NOT MANY! Mike D.

Chopin's melancholia that accompanied him throughout his life in France was always about love for his beloved Poland. A country that always seemed to be in the path of conquering powers. This Ballade captures the innermost Chopin and how poetic that the symbolism of this work captures the absurdity of conquering powers and hate that still dominates our world. I revere Chopin and the fact that his music is still relevant today speaks volumes about the power of music and in spite of it all, music still and will always transcend the darkest aspects of Humanity.

In reality, Wladyslaw couldn't be more fortunate to encounter this particular German officer, as the officer in question is Wilhelm Hosenfeld. A high-ranking Wehrmacht captain who--unlike his peers--dedicated his life to help the Poles, the Jews, and other "enemies of the state" instead of persecuting or straight up executing them. Had it been any other Nazi, he'd have been shot on the spot. After the war, Captain Hosenfeld was captured by the Red Army, and such a selfless hero, comparable to the likes of Oskar Schindler, painfully died in Soviet captivity in 1952. He is now amongst the "Righteous Among The Nations", a honorific title given by Israel to non-Jews who risked their lives to save those who were from extermination during the Holocaust.

This is surreal. One is playing the piano and imagining what is to come, another is listening and recalling long gone memory.

Brian Connelly if my life depended on it that would make it worse and I would 100% freeze up. Even just playing in front of my piano teacher makes me play worse than at home .

Such a remarkable way to express yourself , i always felt like piano was the way of the gentlemen so to speak , an amazing ability to tell a story , full of images and emotions without even open your mouth ! Music knows no age , no religion , no boundaries , no skin colors , no genders , it's universal and piano is one of the most complete instruments , whoever knows to play piano has access to any type of music . That movie was wonderful !

I watched this movie and was shocked to see at the end that it was a try story. This movie really is fantastic and I have never been interested in war films but this was really hard hitting. Super upsetting at times, especially after seeing it was a try story but still very much enjoyable. Definitely worth checking out if you have a spare 2 and a half hours.
