"No dry eyes during the screening of Steven Spielberg's historical masterpiece! I know I had to wrangle a few rogue tears several times myself! Near the end when Schindler collapsed from grief and guilt and everyone gathered round him to console him I totally lost it! Because by then the full brunt of what I had just witnessed hit me like a ton of bricks!
A film where no one in the audience is allowed to remain a bystander! No one gets out unscathed! It was as close to being an interactive film what with the stomachs churning, eyes wincing or brimming with tears, chills running up and down spines and quivering lips!
Incredible filmmaking and storytelling! Liam Neeson gave…

One of the most essential, powerfully moving & profoundly affecting films to ever grace the silver screen, Schindler's List is the crowning achievement in the remarkable film career of Steven Spielberg that finds the master storyteller at the pinnacle of his artistry, is crafted with extreme care n dedication, and is rightfully acknowledged as one of the most honoured & significant films of all time.
There are many films out there that have dealt with the subject of Holocaust in the past but the level of precision, craftsmanship & commitment that Spielberg brings on the screen plus the emotional impact this film delivers over the course of its runtime is truly in a league of its own. And even after two decades, Schindler's…

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…

A red coat. That's all it is. It's used to keep warm, a shelter against the blistering cold. Gusts of wind tatter and billow, threatening the gentle glow that results from the little red coat. In all the horror, the absolute Hell, the devastation, the inhumanity; a simple color evokes so much more than the thought of gentle compliments and a tender smile.
Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List is simply one of the greatest films committed to celluloid. Bar none. No exaggeration. It is as essential, historical, vibrant, emotional, magnificent, harrowing, and impeccably orchestrated as anything that's ever been released in the cinematic medium.
And like the red coat of the little girl, the film will never fade, only growing in distinct majesty and singular clarity.

genuinely and completely perfect, I've only heard good things about this but I was never expecting to lose myself in it as much as I did. this film respectfully honors every person who died in the holocaust in the most beautiful and sympathetic way possible. nothing here is manipulating, everything is true.

"The list is an absolute good. The list is life. All around its margins lies the gulf." - Itzhak Stern, Schindler's List (1993)
10/10
As some of you may know, this has been at the top of pile of movies I want to see most for a while now. In fact, it has been for just about as long as I've been making movie lists. My username even stems from it, after all. I finally got around to it, and I loved it. It is perfection. This is seriously one of the best films ever made (as in #18 on both my list and my favorites list, which is the highest ranking of any film with only one viewing on…

Kind of gruesome, but that's why it did a very good job at depicting Navi cruelty. Even though it was a bit sad, Schindler and his motivations made you feel good at heart.

Yes, this movie is amazing. My liking Ralph Fiennes does not mean I like Amon Goeth (I mean, did you see his performance??).

A vivid and bracing depiction of one of history’s most brutal, shameful periods. But too self-conscious and emotionally manipulative to avoid my resentments. You can almost feel Spielberg being smothered by the immensity of the subect matter and the weight of his own expectations.
