This film bothers me and not because of its subject matter, but because of its treatment of it.

When making a film about the Holocaust, everything you do is fraught with danger. One could even argue that visualizing the Holocaust in a work of fiction is something that shouldn't be attempted as such inhuman suffering and mindless slaughter should be dealt with in reality, not in the realms of fiction.

If you approach Spielberg's film as such, there is a lot that feels wrong in this film. There is no hope in the Holocaust, yet Spielberg seems intent on showing us there is. From the shower scene that subversively plays with our expectations to the actual story of a small…

Liam Neeson is the greatest badass this generation has to offer. He's played so many badass characters over the years. He was Rob Roy. He was Darkman. He was Bryan Mills. He was the voice of a big ass lion. Plus, how many actors can say they trained Obi-Wan Kenobi AND Batman? In this film, he plays the most badass character he's ever played: Oskar Schindler. Not only because he's a real person, but what's more badass than a German risking his life and saving thousands of Jews?

Seriously all jokes aside, this film was incredible. It's so depressing yet so real. You can tell Steven Spielberg and the rest of the crew really cared about making this film because…

80/100

A film of many internal contradictions, which to some extent proves to be its undoing. If anything, Spielberg and Zaillian are overly conscientious, constantly abandoning the narrative in order to underline the horror of the Holocaust; the film is at its weakest when it struggles to give the Jews a voice, concocting palpably phony conversations that serve as exposition about conditions in the Ghetto or at Auschwitz. And Schindler is a magnificent character who ultimately gets sold out—not out of sentimentality, as I thought back then, but because somebody felt the respectful thing to do was have him repeatedly downplay his sacrifice, lest it overwhelm the suffering of the Nazis' actual victims. Consequently, the last hour gets a bit…

What I noticed on this viewing (my first in well over a decade) is the strong emphasis on business.

Schindler was in the business of using the cheapest labor in order to make the largest profit. Eventually, his business model changed to spending all of his money in order to save as many lives as possible. In other words, a money hungry capitalist bankrupts himself to preserve life. In today's stormy economic climate, the mere idea of that is alien to me.

Even more fascinating is the same theme extends to the Nazi commanders as well. Every request Schindler makes from the Nazi party is met with the complaint that it would just create more paperwork. It's a theme that…

This epic war-time drama is directed by Steven Spielberg, the master of hard-hitting and realistically portrayed World War Two films, the second being 'Saving Private Ryan'. It won numerous awards and priase, from Academy Awards to BAFTA and Critics Choices.

The film tells the story of Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), a German businessman who saved the lives of more than a thousand mostly Polish-Jewish refugees during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories. Neeson has superb support from Ralph Fiennes as Schutzstaffel (SS)-officer Amon Göth, and Ben Kingsley as Schindler's Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern. John Williams composed the score.

The film is shot in black and white in a documentary style of cinematography, which gives it a very raw…

I cannot review this film because words are not enough for explaining this film !! But I wanted to try for long time ago.

Hats Off Towards The Greatest Direction Ever. Surely Deserves an Academy Award for The Best Direction and Best Picture. The movie had won 7 awards from 12 nominations.

The story based on real events about a Businessman Oskar Schindler, who initially hires Polish Jews in his factory in Krakow; for the production of Daily-used-products, but as he go on hiring these people, in between he realizes how much importance he is making for those peoples by saving their life. He appoints Itzak Stern ( Ben Kingsley ) as his accountant. But mistakenly one day he has…
