Summary: Masterpiece
Review: Schindler's list is a masterpice. Filmed in black and white, it delivers incredible authenticity to the story, but most of all intensity. And whenever the director wants you to particularly focus on a "movement" he would add some colors and depicts the dramatics instants to the fullest (the little girl in red jacket and the candle).The story of Oskar Schindler depicted in this movie (whether 100% correct or not, who cares) is breathtaking. He's a man aspiring for power and money, or at least that's what he thought he wants. Scene after scene, oskar schindler will turn to the man who saved the life of more than a 1000 human lives from Nazi's forces. This movie is fulled with little details, and you'll enjoy discovering them one after the other especially that almost everyone will watch this movie more than once.

Summary: A true must see
Review: This amazingly powerful film tells of a war profiteer in WW2 who turns into a savior of Jews. Liam Neeson plays the title Oskar Schindler, a Nazi party member who makes great money using the slave labor during World War II. Little by little he realizes just what he is wrapped up in, and he risks his life and fortune to start saving the Jewish people. By the end, he has rescued over 1,000 Jews. The movie won numerous awards even though Spielberg risked his modern audience by shooting the film mostly in black and white. He in fact won Best Picture of 1993. Ralph Fiennes was brilliant as Amon Goeth, and Ben Kingsley was great as Itzhak Stern. There are so many great performances in the movie that it's almost a shame to call a few out. Even with the black and white colors, you immediately get immersed in this story. I know many people who lived through Poland and Germany in World War II and the attention to detail is just immense. Many, many people that I talk with came out of this movie viewing in tears. It is not a 'historical' movie. It's a movie about real people, in a real situation, and the very difficult choices they had to make. It is about taking the difficult road that you know is right, rather than coasting along the easy road. I really recommend this as a must-watch to any person over age 13. If a youngster is to watch this one, I recommend watching it with an adult so the issues can be talked about afterwards.

Summary: A fine film in its own right....
Review: Shindlers List is another fine example of the genius works of Steven Spielberg. Those who are unfamiliar with World War II and the atrocities that Germany committed will glean much from this film. There are many graphic moments yet it maintains a level of taste in respect of those who suffered tremendously in which this film is dedicated to. Anti-Semitism is sadly rising again in Europe and hopefully this film will remind those who preach (and webpost) hate what it ultimately generates.

Summary: Great Movie!
Review: This is definitely one of Steven Spielberg's BEST pictures ever. After getting a bit fed up with cute aliens, dinosaurs, and little kids-This movie finally proved to me that Spielberg is definitely a director to be reckoned with! This movie made such a huge impact on me, and continued to be one of my favorite top 10 movies of all time. Not since JAWS has Spielberg gripped an audience in such a moving, and intriguing picture! A MUST have for anyone who appreciates history, great filmmaking and the struggle of the human spirit!!

Summary: I wish there were more stars to give this movie.
Review: This was one of the most heart wrenching, sad, enlightening movies I have ever viewed. Untill viewing this movie for the first time in 1993, I had never heard of Oskar Schindler, and was very ignorant of the horror that the jewish people faced during the holocaust. I watched this movie, at times covering my eyes, to stop the horror I was witnessing. I cannot imagine what horrors really went on in those concentration camps, yet, I continued to watch, as I could not pull my eyes from the screen. I admit its EXTREMELY difficult to watch in parts, but I encourage anyone thinking of buying it, DO IT!! I watched to the end, and have never cried or felt the emotions I felt watching this movie. I sobbed like I never have before, yet I was so glad I saw Oskar Schindlers story, and the ending which I wont give away, but its the survivors tribute to this man, who gave everything to do the right thing, as much as he could, and still felt he didnt do enough. I cannot reccomend this movie highly enough. Even after all these years, and all the excellent films out there, this movie will remain my favorite for all time. There will never be another movie to cause the emotion this one stirs. To me it ranks up there with The Color Purple, The Titanic, its a classic. Buy it and see for yourself. 100 stars.

Summary: A Tasty Cheesecake
Review: "Schindler's List" was one of the best cheesecakes that Hollywood has ever put out. This film has extremely high production value, and every aspect of it was polished in best ways it could afford. The realism and grandioseness depicted are impressive but deceiving. Manipulation of history and stereotype of characters are the biggest questions in this film. How much truth about Oscar Schindler's life have we really learned except the perfect story we are willing to accept? For instance, did Schindler really try to trick Amon to stop his random murdering? Artistic license was probably misused here. This film was well made but a bit like a commercial or propaganda: outter impressiveness with inner emptiness. Art film lovers, think twice.

Summary: Conerned about anti-German Violence
Review: As we have seen with "the Passion of the Christ" resulting in AntiSemetic violence, I have grave concerns this re-release of Schindler's list on DVD will result in anti-German violence....

Summary: But just barely
Review: With this movie, you have a lot of people giving it 5 stars because it is epic in scope, you will have some people give it 5 stars because it is Steven Spielberg, and you will have some people give it 5 stars because it addresses the Holocaust. This movie is great for all of these reasons together, but not any one in particular - Spielberg just barely pulls it off. All of them come together to make a 5-star film. It gets better with each viewing - we have been waiting too long for the DVD.

Summary: Simple Fantastic - Keep Kids Away (and Teen boys!)
Review: This movie is wonderful in its sadness. It shows the exploitation of the Jewish people during WWII and it does so without apology. No apology is needed because those horrors must be exposed to help keep them from occurring ever again. Why Hollywood cannot make ONE movie without showing a breast is beyond me though. Totally out of place, just done gratutiously. Keep your teen boys away. Other than its deliberate exposure of the woman (not a prisoner, she was there to entice audience only) and its attempt to demean women in the audience by showing - once again - an actress exploited for the world to see - this movie's address for the concentration camps and Schindler's incredible attempt to do all in his power to stop the horrors is a masterpiece. The word masterpiece is overused in Hollywood. The word masterpiece is not overused on Schindler's List. This is Neeson's finest performance.

Summary: ALEXS CAPSULE MOVIE REVIEWS
Review: Highlights: A confident and candid directorial approach; faultless performances from the entire cast; stunning cinematography; stridently evocative script.
Lowpoints: Occasional slips into superfluous sappiness; uncompromisingly dismal; overlong. Conclusion: Steven Spielberg's follow-up to the regrettable Hook, Schindler's List is a passionate tribute to the kindness of those who saved lives during the vindictive holocaust era. Liam Neeson's performance represents that kindness - he plays the title character with such vigorous conviction that, even when the mostly-poignant script demands him to go along with one of its needless ventures into sentimentality, such as the tear-jerker of a speech he delivers at the film's finale, Neeson handles those scenes with luminous passion and assurance. As, by the way, does the rest of the cast (Ralph Fiennes does 'evil film characters' justice), that compensates with its exhilarating performances for the overall lack of sanguinity in the relentlessly cheerless plot. Heartbreaking, convincing and gorgeously shot, Schindler's List is by far THE unsurpassed cinematic portrayal of the horrifying concentration camp events, movingly depicting one man's compassion amongst incensed antagonism.
