War Is A Plunderer

---An amateurish film review of The Pianist Today I watched the movie The Pianist which is a story about a Jewish pianist who tried to survive from World War II and he made it at last in Warsaw.

Thanks for the existence of the art form of film, without which something we may not know forever. From an objective perspective, films do contributes to the exposure and spread of something. Through films, we can feel the roles’ sad, the joy, the anger, the desperation, the hope just like we were the people in the film. We often feel and get something from a movie, more or less.

I watched The Pianist with a heavy heart. I felt a lot from the movie, however, what touched me most is war and I have thought a lot about war. In a word, war is a plunderer who deprives us of everything we have in a violent way. We may not realize the importance of something until we lose it. The past misery makes us value what we have today.

At first, war is a plunderer who takes away food without which nobody could live. In the movie, the main actor Wladyslaw Szpilman was the most famous pianist in Poland, maybe the whole world. His Jewish family also had good jobs. So we can give the conclusion that his family was rich. However, when the war broke out, they could hardly feed themselves. All of the family just fed on some potatoes. During his later

escape from persecution by Nazi, Szpilman almost starved to death several times because of the lack of food.

Besides, war is a plunderer who takes away freedom from us.In the beginning, the Jew were forbidden to enter café, to have a walk in park, even forbidden to have a seat in bench. Later, they were forbidden to get out. In fact, they were confined to a little housing estate. Then, they were forced to work hard just like a machine. At last, they were carried away by train and got killed. They were deprived of lives, let alone talk the freedom？

What’s more, war is a plunderer who takes away dignity from us.For people, the most important thing is dignity. Dignity is something that can’t be spoiled in human soul. It is dignity that makes us stand erectly. However, all this is based on peacetime. Once war breaks out, dignity will be replaced by food and survival, just as showed in the movie.

At last,war is a plunderer who takes away humanity from us. I firmly believe in that it is very humanity that makes us human instead of beast. Biologists tell us: vertebrates are born offensive; Christians hold the view that human nature is evil, it’s destined by our genes and blood, because human is cursed by God. War is a powerful lunatic as well as plunderer. He gives weapons to human and makes them kill each other. As we all know, power drives man crazy, and war usually gives power to human as well as weapons. In the movie, Nazi was the most typical representative
