Editorial Review:

Description:
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.

Amazon.com essential video:
Steven Spielberg had a banner year in 1993. He scored one of his biggest commercial hits that summer with the mega-hit Jurassic Park, but it was the artistic and critical triumph of Schindler's List that Spielberg called "the most satisfying experience of my career." Adapted from the best-selling book by Thomas Keneally and filmed in Poland with an emphasis on absolute authenticity, Spielberg's masterpiece ranks among the greatest films ever made about the Holocaust during World War II. It's a film about heroism with an unlikely hero at its center--Catholic war profiteer Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), who risked his life and went bankrupt to save more than 1,000 Jews from certain death in concentration camps.

By employing Jews in his crockery factory manufacturing goods for the German army, Schindler ensures their survival against terrifying odds. At the same time, he must remain solvent with the help of a Jewish accountant (Ben Kingsley) and negotiate business with a vicious, obstinate Nazi commandant (Ralph Fiennes) who enjoys shooting Jews as target practice from the balcony of his villa overlooking a prison camp. Schindler's List gains much of its power not by trying to explain Schindler's motivations, but by dramatizing the delicate diplomacy and determination with which he carried out his generous deeds.

As a drinker and womanizer who thought nothing of associating with Nazis, Schindler was hardly a model of decency; the film is largely about his transformation in response to the horror around him. Spielberg doesn't flinch from that horror, and the result is a film that combines remarkable humanity with abhorrent inhumanity--a film that functions as a powerful history lesson and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the context of a living nightmare. --Jeff Shannon

- schindlers list
Every time I watch this movie I have to stop and take a deep breath - and then go back to watching. So moving that it is almost impossible to believe that this is all true. It makes you think twice about your relationships with other people in this world.

Top ten movie of all time

Great Buy !

- THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE
If i had the time i would elaborate more, but put simply this is the greatest movie ever made...EVER MADE. I have seen citizen kane, raging bull, psycho, every one of Kubrick's films, 7 samurai among many of Kurosawa's films, to make to a long story short from someone who has seen a great number of movies, there has never been a movie that has moved me like Schindler's List. It is a cinematic MASTERPIECE, and has literally changed me. This is a film every human being on the planet must see.

- On of a few really great movies!
This is a great movie. I shows how a man can change from being very self centered to become a great human being.

- Very touching story
I teach 11th grade history and most of my students have no idea about the "Holocaust" because it is not talked about much anymore. My students were mesmerized by this film and disgusted at the same time. Fascinated by what was happening but also disgusted to think that something like this could actually happen. I recommend this movie to everyone.

- "The list is life."
I first saw the movie when in grad school in Kingston. It seems a lifetime away now. I went with my friend JMM to see it. We drove up to the theatre in Kingston Township in the evening. After seeing the film, I remarked to him as we walked back to the car, "We're never going to be able to talk about this, are we?" "No," was his answer. And, we never did. The film is too moving to really talk about.

So, my wife and I sat down and watched the film, a couple of nights ago. My wife is much ... Read More
