Schindler's List (Full Screen Edition) Reviews
Memorable Documentary
I found the story of this film to be rich of its substance.Also
as a referance. I have seen this historical production when it was first made. It is a powerful production, and an expressive
piece of perfection
REgrettably the DVD is incompatible with Englands standard.
This list... is an absolute good. The list is life.
When it comes to a movie about the Holocaust, you know you are going to get something emotional. Spielberg does a good job with this as you follow characters and their motives. Liam Neeson plays Oskar Schindler, a war profiteer, who slowly becomes emotionally involved with the Jewish people that he employs. This transformation is key to the movie and is what makes it more than JUST a Holocaust film because it goes beyond the obvious. Ben Kingsley also does a good job, playing a Jewish accountant named Stern, who also risks his life in smaller ways to help other Jews while at the same time deying odds and remaining alive. But I think it is Ralph Fiennes that makes this movie powerful. His depiction as Nazi commandant Amon Goeth will shock you while at the same time you feel that it is so utterly real what he is doing. Tommy Lee Jones, who did a good job in the movie The Fugitive, SHOULD NOT have beat Fiennes for an Oscar for best supporting actor. Fiennes will captivate you when he's on the screen, although you are not supposed to like him or his actions. I enjoyed the black and white although I think it still would have been powerful in color. I think there were parts that moved kind of slow, but all in all, this movie will make you think and it will open your eyes to a brutal reality of the Holocaust. It's easy to see why Spielberg called this movie "the most satisfying experience of my career." I also recommend The Pianist with Adrien Brody and the HBO series Band Of Brothers, which also deals with similar themes.
