Review of Schindler's List (1993) by Guido M — 27 Aug 2014
When it comes to hystorical dramas, Schindler's List will forever go down on history as the prime example of a perfect one. Every single minute of this 3 hour journey into the holocaust depicts horrors in such a way that is difficult to feel they are real.
It is more difficult to believe then when reading the facts that it actually was real, making the movie that much more impactful and terrifying. With scenes that even now (In comparison to what was cinema before) are still relentlessly shocking, Schindler's List is also the most respectful and tender homage to the Jewish community who suffered during the day.
What is on screen is not pretty but is necessary. If it wasn't for this movie, but also if it wasn't for the book it is based on, Oskar Schindler would have dissapeared as the many he couldn't saved.
Thankfully, Spielberg produced a movie that so amazingly celebrates the eternal hero that Oskar Schindler was. It is an essential masterpiece, a crucial addition to any cinephile's list.
