The Representation Of War In The Film The Pianist

In the poem, The Little Polish Boy Standing With His Arms Up, by Peter L. Fischl, the author informs the reader that the world should have seen the horrible and dehumanizing behavior of the Nazis and their Nazi machine gun bullets. In the poem, the little Polish boy represents all of the Jews that were being held concentration camps and those that had to endure the severe brutality and torture from the Nazis. In order to draw attention to the inhumanity of the German society at that time, Fischl advises the reader that he would paint a picture, “A painting so bright to blind the eyes of the world” (Stanza 11) to remember the little Polish boy. Peter L. Fischl instinctively informs us about him want to make a concerto of

In Maus the main character is young son named Artie. His father Vladek survived the concentration camp and he also shows compassion towards his father on his unbelievable will to survive. The Pianist” is a little different. In it the main

Many characters’ lives are enveloped by a mental issue and they are a representation for these issues. Art covers these multiple issues. The Holocaust affected millions of people and of these millions, Vladek, Anja, and Mala all were left with

Many composers use various techniques in which they communicate the distinctly visual. John Misto’s ‘The Shoe-Horn Sonata’ and Alexander Kimel’s ‘The Action in the Ghetto of Rohatyn, March 1942’ represent significant issues in our world by using various literary and dramatic techniques. Through using these techniques it is evident that the composers of these texts allow the audience to ‘see’ with our eyes as well as with our minds. The many literary and dramatic techniques have the ability to create a visual that

“The Pianist” by Wladyslaw Spilman is a extraordianry story about a man’s survival in the holocaust in Warsaw, Poland. The book explains how Szpilman survives the holocaust in Poland by hiding, escaping, and with luck. Szpilman is important to society because he explains the following topics in his perspective for them not to happen again, religious discrimination, human rights, and punishment in crimes involving genocide. Many of the issues raised by the holocaust continue to have an impact on the world today.

"It was crying and praying. So long we survived. And now we waited only that they shoot, because we had not else to do" (267). This quote from the end of the novel ironically describes what the Jewish people endured after the concentration camps. Vladek Spieglman among other suffered through traumatic experiences; though Vladek certainly did survive the holocaust, old Vladek did not. Post-Holocaust it is revealed by Spieglman that his father, Vladek, develops two personalities—before and after the concentration camps. Vladek’s post-holocaust life was haunted by the horrors he witnessed while being in the concentration camps; he went from a young, handsome resourceful man to a miserable, old man who does nothing but complain.

And you betrayed me! I saw you every day in her eyes and I heard you in her voice when she laughed, and I felt you inside of me when she called me “daddy” and you betrayed me. You broke my heart.” This rhetorical choice instigates pathos while also showing insight to the main character’s disparity. Also, both pieces use pathos to trigger the viewers emotions. By keeping their audiences in mind and using the effective rhetoric of pathos, the writer and photographer make the viewers much more sympathetic towards the subjects. In the movie, Frankel films excellent actors an effective usage of display, style, and design that help carry out the message in an impressive matter. The pictures design is formatted in a way that leads the eye from left to right- past to present. The past portrays a time of despair and hopelessness not only for Jews but also homosexuals, gypsies, the disabled, and any other lifestyles the Nazis deemed unfit. Now, on the right side of the picture, one can see the current glimpses of hope- the soldiers of the Israeli Defense Forces that protect and serve Israel in efforts to make sure that nothing similar to the Holocaust will ever happen

The Pianist is a movie that shows the life of one man, Wladyslaw Szpilman who was a popular Jewish Pole radio station pianist. In the World War II which is a background of the movie, How Szpilman suffered and how he survived are presented in the movie. While the movie portrays Szpilman’s life, it also shows how the Jewish people are dehumanized by Nazi during the war. The director, Roman Polanski, successfully uses camera angle, lighting and plot structure, and characterization to present the theme of dehumanization.

‘The Pianist’ is a cinematic masterpiece by the Polish director Roman Polanski. One of the key ideas that appear throughout much of the film is that of ‘hope being instrumental in our survival’. This idea is portrayed through Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish pianist, as he struggles for survival in Warsaw as everybody that he once knew and everything that he once had is lost. The idea of ‘hope being instrumental in our survival’ is worth learning about as it allows the audience to realise the importance of hope in todays society – and to understand how Polanski uses music to symbolise ‘hope’ for Szpilman in the film. Polanski effectively utilises an array of visual and oral text features such as music, dialogue, and lighting to build further

The holocaust has effected more lives than anybody could imagine, the tragedy has not only affected those who were there or primarily affected but those of every generation to come after that. This illustrated by Art and Vladek’s inability to get along, Vladek’s personality quirks, Anja’s suicide, Art’s guilt, are all factors that contributed to the rocky family relationship the Spieglemans had, and are all due to the horrors of the holocaust. The horrors of which did not end when the Nazi’s were defeated in WW2, rather continuing to have an impact on further generations, in which all of their stories will never be

After witnessing I-330 play the piano, considered to be the music of the ancestors, D-503 writes, “Then she sat down and began to play. Something savage, spasmodic, variegated, like their whole life at that time- not a trace of rational mechanical method” (17). He compares this music to their present day music and comments on the lack of rationality. However, Zamyatin uses words such as ‘spasmodic’ and ‘variegated’ to represent the emotional appeal that the piano music has; through its imperfections, it brings about a sense of beauty. Even though D-503 criticizes the music, the fact that the piano is still there reminds the citizens of their past and the individuality that used to exist.

I really enjoyed this play as it kept me wondering what will happen next and taught me some life lessons on how people react or make decisions. As I read on this play goes into the man Sergeant Vernon C. Waters personality and who he really was. We learn that Sergeant Waters hates being black and anyone who may exhibit black characteristics or stereotypes for example. For example in Act Two we learn that Sergeant Waters does not really like C.J. as he frames him and provokes him to attack so that he could be arrested for any reason. Sergeant Waters admits to this is Act Two and wanted C,J. arrested so the world would be free of one more simpleton colored boy. In Sergeant Waters’s

The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. (1953) is a brilliant colorful narrative film that exploits the usage and dynamics of design production to present a theme that is sorrowfully based upon events during World War II, especially those events which dealt with Hitler and the Nazi Germans. Though at first glance this is a children’s movie that follows little Bart around as he is whisked away in the vibrant adventures of his dreams as he seeks to end the malicious musical reign of Dr. T., this movie contributes strong evidence alluding to an underlying theme; namely that World War II was a horrible time period in which individuals were thwarted and subdued to ill-treatment (in this case portrayed by piano playing) during the reign of Adolf Hitler. This theme is supported by the film’s production design, which combines German expressionist sets along with Seuss’s vivid imagination and imagery.

War has been a part of human culture since it's birth. It has led to a great many massacres and has shown us the evil that exists within the souls of humanity. Some have even gone as far as saying that war is human nature. To better understand the reasons behind war and how it affects others, I've examined several different societies and cultures so as to better understand the necessity of war and see the cause of their external war attitude. To do so, different variables from two topics (military institutions and external war attitude) were matched up and crossed so as to look into the answers to these questions. The variables were then calculated and through these graphs, I was able to find different societies in which
