Hey guys, avid book and movie lover here. So im sitting down to finally watch Polanski's the pianist. Ikik, I don't know how I haven't gotten around to it before, but i finally am. Ussually I ALWAYS read the book before the movie, but when I went to go purchase the book from my local bookstore it was out of stock so im on a waitlist for it (support local buisnesses yk), and i have to watch the movie as i chose it for a class project where we write a paper on a piece of holocaust media we haven't seen before, and I landed on this film!
So all that to say, to those who have read the memoir the film is based on, how historically accurate would you say the film is, and overall, is the film or book "objectively" better, or would you say the film is a great film, and the book is a great book to put it plainly? Looking forward to all the insight, and please no spoilers for the book 🙂
