"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.

The fact that the holocaust happened less than a hundred years ago is absolutely terrifying. Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach.

there is nothing but rage and sadness and pain in my heart. the fact that there are people out there who deny this happened, and that there are nazis in the world and those that support them. there are no words, just anger and pain.

A shocking, chaotic and unfair look into history. I put off watching this for a long time because of the film length but it definitely holds up as one of the best films of all time.
