I ordered this movie without having ever seen it before. I got it, watched it, and was pretty disappointed. It was so boring I coulden't get through the whole movie.
 A story that captures many aspects of the Holocaust. Fanatastic Movie. May 19, 2007

Steven Spielberg made a lot of money out of his successful film, and yes, he also finally received an Oscar (Although I think some of his earlier work should receive one too). There are many interesting stories about the holocaust and WWII, and I wonder what attracted Spielberg to Schindler's story so much. Well, if you saw the film you can see that what Spielberg and Schindler have in common is money and ambition. Spielberg in my point of view is a great producer/business man. He knows how to make money (even for the Holocaust). I believe that is why Spielberg's so attracted to Schindler's character. Don't get me wrong, Spielberg has also values as well, and it is said that most of what the film has earned Spielberg donated to the Holocaust foundation. Spielberg is a franchise but I get the feeling that he cares. So in parallel to Schindler's character that evolves through the film, Spielberg uses the money he earns to make some good.
Schindler is presented as a business man, who is interested in making money - actually a war profiteer. But something changes in his plan, Schindler learns slowly that the Nazi ideology is stupid and evil, and he goes on a process through the film of purging himself out of this ideology. He starts to care for "his Jewish workers", and by the end of the film he even cries, not for the loss of money, but for the life he could have saved.
There are many scenes in this film, created in detail, through the help of survivor's testimonies. Some of them are extremely violent or contain nudity. Those scenes, which are shot brilliantly, are required for realism and I really like them, as I believe that such appalling violence is reserved only in film and not in our life.
I find Schindler's List as a visual experience one should not miss, as it helps you grasp the horror and violence of the Nazis. Since Hollywood controls the world market of cinema, this movie is a breakthrough, bringing the story of the holocaust to the whole world.
Authentic and surprisingly uplifting May 18, 2007

I waited to watch this movie because of the difficult subject matter. I had a hard time at the Holocaust Museum in DC and thought this film would be a similar heartbreaking and sickening experience. It was not. The random executions and dehumanizing treatment were rough to watch, it's true, but the story itself is a happy one with a mostly happy ending. Hard to believe that one man could make such a difference, and the included documentary that features survivors' interviews is a nice companion piece. One other thing: there seem to be invented dramatic moments in the story (a train accidentally rerouted to Auschwitz, a group of prisoners herded into the showers). While watching the documentary, I discovered that these climactic moments were lifted directly from the true story, and not fabricated to advance the plot or strengthen conflict.
I love this movie! May 17, 2007
