Review of Schindler's List (1993) by Vanessa L — 10 Nov 2012

The movie Schindler List was majorly made in black and white. My assumption is that this was done to help show the emptiness, darkness and horror of this time in history. Schindler goes to a ghetto camp to make money for himself, but he also doesn't want to have to spend a lot of money on employees for his business. He wants looks and finds cheap labor to make him rich. He uses the Jewish people, the Jewish people that are being dislocated from their homes and soon to be sent to a concentration camp.

However, soon Schindler starts feeling remorse for the Jewish and what is being done to them. So although he at first refused to help try and save some of the Jewish people he later changed his mind. He helped save the Jewish people that he used at his business by keeping them out of the camps by convincing the Nazi's to let his workers be deemed as "essential" which kept them out of the camps and he also convinced the Nazi's to let him build his own camp for his workers this too kept them out of the camps that the Germans had made. Later in the movie Schindler finds out that the Nazi's are coming after his Jewish workers so he spends his own money to pay for the transportation to get them to his factory in Czechoslovakia. And this is where they are kept until the end of the war.

Today the Holocaust still holds many emotions for the Jewish people and all persons around the world. Most traditional religions like Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islamic religions all around the world denounce the actions of the Nazi's. These religions recount teachings that express love for other races and creeds of people as well as compassion. All these religions ask that we all look, explore and exercise our moral conscience.
