Reply to Dimitry. Well,IMHO, Pianist is a good movie, which was hard for Mr. Polansky 'cause the topic was covered so many times; however, having said that, I still consider Schindler as a better movie for many reasons.
Gangs is a good movie too, despite Leonardo, but it's like in sports, whatever older athlete would do, the age and depleted resources are evident. MS's other greatest hits, such as Taxi Driver, Good Fellas, Afterhours and some others, leave the Gangs far behind... Just my opinion...
