Review of Schindler's List (1993) by Aashish M — 18 Jun 2013
Schindler's List is one hell of a film, and no doubt Spielberg's masterpiece. This is one of Spielberg's few films that is a study of the human condition and what would compel someone to do this to people and how these people survive a truly horrible situation like the Holocaust.
Spielberg sets a horrifying and hopeless tone to this film, which fits the jews emotions perfectly, but where this film is made is in the screenplay that makes it a thought-provoking and an allegorical study of the whole Holocaust.
The screenplay also sets the stage for the good acting performances by Neeson and Kingsley, but it really creates a monster in Amon Goeth that represents the Nazi's motives for doing all of this, and Ralph Fiennes depicts him with the utmost complexity and egotism.
Fiennes should have, 100%, won Best Actor in 93 over Hanks in Philadelphia. But anyways, the first time I viewed Schindler's list, I did not appreciate all that it had to say artistically, but after the second viewing I will recognize this as the masterpiece that it is.
