Summary: This movie is an absolute Good
Review: After reading the other reviews here it's hard to add anything. But I would like to say this movie changed the way I saw the holocust. Because it showed the real face of what was done to a group of people just because of who they are, and as an african american woman I understand how that can get out of hand. I know first hand how easy it is for people to turn on you for no other reason then for who you are. This movie is really about how being apart of the mob can let you justify anything. It's also about how some people no matter what they would gain by going along with the mob, have their limits. It's about those very few who can see a wrong and not turn their backs on that wrong. It's about doing what you know you have to do, and then finding away to get it done, no matter what the cost.

Summary: A Powerful Film and definitely Steven Spielberg's best!
Review: When I first saw Schindler's List, it touched me emotionally unlike any film ever had before. It is the most powerful film I have ever seen. The skillful direction of Steven Spielberg, the excellent screenplay and cinematography, and the performances of Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are some of the most moving performances I have ever seen in a film. In the film's last few minutes, I was literally in tears. This is a cinematic masterpiece that is better than any film created by Steven Spielberg, which is a higher honor than any I can think of. A must-see for those looking for an excellent film.

Summary: Steven Spielberg's crowning achievement
Review: Schindler's List is the most emotionally shattering movie I've seen. It deserved every award it got. Everything in this movie is perfect: the acting, the music, the stark b&w cinematography, everything. I'm 16 years old and I love dramatic movies. They're my kind of movies because they're rewarding. Schindler's List is one of the most rewarding of all movies, a must for everyone who loves great movies.

Summary: Great Movie that teaches a powerful lesson to mankind.
Review: "Schindlers List" was one of the most emotional movie i have ever seen. The way that the inhumane Nazis terrified the Jews and murdered them without a reson. And Oscar Schindler is a good example of a hero, to have sacraficed so much to sve so little compared to the 6 million who perished under the Nazi rule.

Summary: One of the Most Hauntingly Beautiful Movies Ever
Review: I have to say that in the seven years since Schindler's List, Steven Spielberg has yet to outdo himself. From the opening sequences of the Nazi banquet, to the final sequences of Schindler's Jewish workers today, one's eyes will be completely glued to the screen; not because there is non-stop action, but because they will be intrigued at how a Nazi that seemingly only had his mind on money (and women) would save the lives of over one thousand Jews from the concentration camps.Schindler's List is a touching epic that combines powerful acting with directorial mastery, not to mention the effectiveness of monotone for a documentary. If you think that history is boring, watch this movie, and you'll want to learn about the Holocaust... and how you can do your part to prevent another one in the future.

Summary: A phenomenal movie that everyone should see
Review: Schindler's List is my favorite historical drama of all-time for a number of reasons. Not only is it a masterpiece from a cinematic point of view, but it is priceless for the story it tells to the world. First of all, the acting is superb. Liam Neeson does well as Oskar Schindler, but in particular I liked Ben Kingsley (as Istak Stern, Schindler's accountant) and Ralph Fiennes (as Amon Goeth, the camp commandant). All of the performances were very convincing and reflect the good casting. Another great feature of this film is the soundtrack. Slow, soaring music tells of the painful circumstances of the Jews and of their conflict with the Nazi regime. Mixed in with the instrumental pieces are Jewish melodies which also gave me a sense of the cultural traditions of the Jewish people. From a technical point of view, the decision by director Spielberg to shoot the movie is black-and-white was a good one. In fact, I think it makes the movie better than it would have been in color. The few color segments throughout the movie are aptly placed and help to focus the viewer's attention on particular details through the eyes of Schindler. The scenery and photography were excellent compared to other movies I have seen and contribute to the whole atmosphere of the 1940s. Some people may be put off a bit by the length (over 3 hours) but believe me, every minute is worthwhile. Unlike other long movies, there are no lulls or useless scenes -- everything counts. The best part of the movie without any doubt is the story itself, the tale of Oskar Schindler and how he was able to save 1100 Jews from the Auschwitz gas chambers by employing them in his enamelware factory and eventually his shelling factory. Schindler's ambition and personal success shines through amidst the Jewish tragedy and shows how one man, if he has the willpower, can accomplish what appears to be impossible. Based on the novel by Thomas Keneally (which I have not yet had the opportunity to read), this movie digs deep into the human soul and shows how different people are able to survive. There are many touching moments in this film; in particular, near the end when the war has been declared over and the Nazis must flee from the Soviet army. This part and the modern-day segment that follows are both truly heart-warming tributes. I finished watching this movie for about the fourth time yesterday, and even though I didn't cry, tears welled up in my eyes (and this rarely happens when I watch movies). This movie is a must-see not only for its excellence in the film genre but for the story it presents to the viewer. Although it is not suitable for young children (due to its violence and mature content), any mature individual should see it so they can understand that a spark of good can still exist in a fire of evil. This movie deserved all of the Academy Awards that it received and will likely remain in top ten lists for at least the next fifty years. Highly recommended.

Summary: A Most Powerful Movie
Review: How can I describe this movie? Intense, horrifing, heartbreaking, incredible. This movie is all of these and more. The movie portrays Oskar Schindler, a German capitalist who takes advantage of the Nazi's use of Jews as slave labor. As the movie progresses we see Schindler (portrayed wonderfully by Liam Neeson) begin to see the evil all around him and his determination to do anything he can to save his workers. This movie does not cut anything-we are forced to watch the horrors the Nazi's performed on the Jews. Ralph Finnes as the horrible Nazi Amon Geth should have won the Oscar he was nominated for. If you have not seen this picture rent it, buy it, or borrow it. But definitely see it!

Summary: One of the only movies to leave me speechless
Review: As I have grown up to the age I am at now (17) I have never really had a passion to watch the movie Schindler's List. I thought that since I had been on trips to the Holocaust museums and heard stories about the tragic events, that I knew all that there was to know. I thought this until this past month in which our history teacher had us watch the movie in class. What I first thought was going to be a boring movie, turned out to be one of the most emotional movies that I have ever seen. The job that Steven Spielberg did in this movie is just beyond words. The acting by Liam Neeson and also Ralph Fiennes was also superb. Fiennes's character especially, you just loved to hate, but I later had pity for during the film. To this date, I have never seen a film that was so real. I was not the only one in my class touched by this classic. The emotion of the final seen in which the real survivors and actors place stones on Oskar Schindler's grave kept us in our seats even after our class bell rang. We all knew we'd be late to the next class, but this movie just kept us there until the end. If that doesn't tell you how powerful this movie was, then I don't think anything will. This is truly a classic and I am thankful to my history teacher for making me watch it.

Summary: One Of The Most Powerful Of All Films.
Review: Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List" remains one of the greatest of all movies, and one of the most effective. This is an example of incredibly powerful cinema. The movie is rich in everything from design to casting and especially cinematography. It's fitting the Spielberg films the movie in black and white, because it makes some statement of the era and reflects the darkness of it. Never have the horrors of the Holocaust been shown so realistically and convincingly on screen. Spielberg shows the perverse nature and evil of the Nazis in all their realism. "Schindler's List" is unforgettable and moves the viewer to tears. There are tears of sadness, rage, happiness and admiration. Liam Neeson gives a fantastic performance that never lacks power. This is what dramatic filmmaking is all about. "Schindler's List" will never lose it's power and will endure for many years to come.
