Reviews Review created: 10/08/08 by: As an avid movie goer I would have to say out of my cinematic movie experiance - 'Schindler's List' hits the top. I was captured throughout the film, even until the end credits when nobody made a sound or budged an inch, it'd make big boys cry. It's filmed in Black & White giving not only an athentic look into it, but of the couple of scenes of a girl in a red coat, this part was so tenderly moving and will remain with you. This film is a lesson to all mankind that this dark chapter in the history of mankind should never happen again. It also celebrates the hero Oskar Schindler and Steven Speilburg has obviously gone into great lengths of trouble and research into the making of this film, and he is still helping the survivors of the Jews saved by Oskar Schindler by creating the Shoah Foundation. The best of Steven Speilburg, the man's a genious! The film to watch before you die. Review ID: 10000000008298535 Was this review helpful?

The use of colour on the candle and red coat is excellent. There are several points which I break down into tears but overall it makes me think about the cruelty in this world and how it should NEVER happen again.

Its documentary authenticity vividly re-creates a dark, frightening period during World War II, when Jews in Nazi-occupied Krakow were first dispossessed of their businesses and homes, then placed in ghettos and forced labour camps in Plaszow, and finally resettled in concentration camps for execution. The violence and brutality of their treatment is realistic and horrific but I hope any one who see’s this film will realise it is only by knowing the truth that we can stop it happening again.
