Mandatory Viewing

I believe this movie should be mandatory viewing by all seniors in the high school system, to show them how cruel and meaningless war was and is. I enjoyed the movie when it was first released, I found it shocking, brutal and touching. I didn't really care for the character Schindler (I found him to be ruthless money grabber), but the characters revolving around him in the chaotic times of WWII was where I found the real depth of the movie.
If everyone of our children watch "Schindler's List" and walk away with a true feeling of how precious life is, then I think we can stand proud as parents, and feel as if we have taught them something that they can teach their own children in the future. That war is war, nothing more, nothing less. That war should be avoided at all costs, no matter what the price.
I have two daughters and when they are old enough, I will sit and watch this most important and insightful film with them. I suggest you all do the same.

A gross understatement....

To call Schindler's List, "a cinematic masterpiece," is a gross understatement. Unfortunately, I can't think of any better term than that. This is one of the most outstanding movies I have ever had the privilege to see. It has inspired me to reach out to the Jews of today who are still facing persecution in countries around the world. I want to start my own list of names. It will be of those Jews who I help make aliyah (emigrate to Israel). "The list is life."

Probably the greatest movie ever made

Like many cinematic masterpieces, it's not possible to summarize this film in a TV-guide style and portray any sense of its monumental achievement. I'm not going to describe its content but it's a film that every person should watch as a lesson for not just where true evil can lead, but also how hope, honesty and humanity offers redemption.

It's even more of a testament to Steven Spielberg that he was reviewing FX reels of Jurassic Park in between filming sequences for this, since ever shot is vital to the film and perfectly crafted. It's also one of the few films that warrant buying a home theater system for - you simply won't believe the difference when viewing on a large LCD screen with surround sound.

I originally saw this three times at the movie theater, which is a major commitment for a 4-hour film. I've also seen it several times on cable and accidentally ended up watching the whole thing. It's simply one of the most compelling films ever made and, as a piece of art, grabs you from the very beginning to the very end.

PS - As an aside, I once saw this in the theater in London where a bunch of skinheads were at the front making constant derogatory comments and slurs. About 25 minutes in, a jumbo-sized container full of Coke whizzed passed my ear and hit one of them on the squarely on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious on the floor. The whole theater erupted with cheers and applause, and it's one of the most satisfying acts of swift justice I've ever witnessed!

Spielberg's Best

Maybe the most affecting film I have ever seen, Schindler's List is definitely the film everyone should see at least once. Spielberg tells this Holocaust tale of an unexpected hero with a surprising mix of beauty and horror. Filmed mostly in black and white, the movie is at times tough to watch, but this is because of its raw power and ability to transport you to a part of world history that many would like to forget but cannot (nor should they).

This is definitely Spielberg's greatest film. He has never been able to match the power since.

Schindler's List, a Steven Spielberg film, is a cinematic masterpiece that has become one of the most honored films of all time. Winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, it also won every major Best Picture award and an exceptional number of additional honors. Among them were seven British Academy Awards; the Best Picture Awards from the New York Film Critics Circle, the National Society of Film Critics, the National Board of Review, the Producers Guild, the Los Angeles Film Critics, the Chicago, Boston and Dallas Film Critics; a Christopher Award; and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Golden Globe Awards. Steven Spielberg was further honored with the Directors Guild of America Award. The film presents the indelible true story of the enigmatic Oskar Schindler, a member of the Nazi party, womanizer, and war profiteer who saved the lives of more than 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust. It is the triumph of one man who made a difference, and the drama of those who survived one of the darkest chapters in human history because of what he did. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film, which also won Academy Awards for Screenplay, Cinematography, Music, Editing and Art Direction, stars an acclaimed cast headed by Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagalle and Embeth Davidtz.
