Review of Schindler's List (1993) by Calhounite — 24 Nov 2015
The dialog was phony. Working showers in a death camp? Doubtful. The problem with any holocaust movie is that it is has to be attempt to explain IT - why a continent full of supposed civilized human beings went temporarily insane. This film has the usual prop - the automatons walking around in German soldier garb. Which gets nowhere to explaining It. The evil is indescribable and undepictable. When the goal is exterminating a mass of people in the context of simultaneously reaching to the heights of culture and science, the only reality is that whatever the victims experienced went to the limits as to what human beings could ever conceive in the harming of others.
None has ever come close. Not this one either.
