[edit] 'Fled a fugitive from justice'

Oh man, this is a bad edit for so many reasons I hardly know where to begin.

• 'Fled a fugitive' is redundant and bad English.
• This material is covered adequately in Polanski's article; adding that he is a 'fugitive from justice' indiscriminately to articles about his work is needless.
• It's unsourced.
• It doesn't have anything to do with 'Production,' the section in which you insist on inserting it.

I understand that this edit is part of an ongoing campaign of yours, but it really has to stop. Thank you. drseudo (t) 15:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The REAL pianist

Any infomation as to who was the REAL pianist in the film? Who played the stunt pianist? It was credited Szpilman as the musician, but they probably just used his recordings. --Kvasir 09:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

oops, i found it: Janusz Olejniczak. Will add that in. --Kvasir 09:19, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Music / Moonlight Sonata

Which recording of the the Beethhoven's Moonlight Sonata is used in the Movie? (Who is performing it?) - M.L. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.130.134.70 (talk) 12:12, 19 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Reception

How was this movie received by the public, how did the critics rate it? It's always nice to have these in an article. --Witchinghour 19:08, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] disambig

Since The Pianist (film) redirects here, and there are other movie(s) by this title, I think a disambig notice needs to be added to the top, like on other pages. It currently only exists in the "See Also" section, under the title of pianist (disambiguation).

I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure how the disambig template works (or if I should even use it). -- trlkly 10:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, I did it myself, since there didn't seem to be any objections. I left the information in the "See Also" section alone, since I'm not sure if it needs to be removed.

[edit] Nationality of liberating troops?

What nationality were the troops who nearly shot Szpliman at the end for wearing the German coat? I assumed they were Russian, but the article says they are Polish. Mlouns (talk) 07:34, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

These were soldiers of the Polish 1st Army, who entered the deserted city together with the Soviets on January 17, 1945. Tymek (talk) 20:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Pianist movie.jpg

Image:The Pianist movie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Song sung by the Jewish labourers

Does anyone knows the title (in Polish and in English if possible) or lyrics of the patriothic Polish song sung by the Jewish workers, after being beaten by a drunk sadistic SS officer on the New Year 1944 (who demanded that they sing something as they marched back to their quarters)?
