Summary: BEST WORK Spielberg has done
Review: This movie is the best movie Spielberg has done, for it is not made of some computer generated scenes or non-stop action but it criticises one of the biggest crimes of history of mankind. It gives a realistic and logical look at what Hitler has done. Spielberg has shot some extraordinary scenes that you criticise your own humanity and life... A wonderful work of art

Summary: Another response to the bad reviews...
Review: First of all, the red dress girl was not used for a "Hallmark" effect. She was given a red dress so we can recognize her later on, when she shows up dead.Secondly, if you fall asleep during this movie, either 1. give yourself a hard kick to the groin or 2. don't watch another movie ever again I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I don't feel a movie needs to use any certain formula such as characterization to be good (I loved Eraserhead). I think it is possible for one to make a fantastic movie about a lump of moss. I didn't watch this movie thinking of Steven Spielberg. I just watched the movie, and found it to be extremely moving. There was one notable darkly humorous line in the movie..... Amon: Why is the top down, it's f---ing freezing!

Summary: Not a great movie
Review: This film was way too "pretty" considering the subject matter. Creative camera angles, decadently decaying atmosphere, lush score --- an inappropriate technique for something about the Holocaust. It made me sick to watch the scenes where corpses are being transported. Not because the subject of the scenes were gruesome, but because the scenes are sensationalized with overtly tear-jerking music as if to say "this is the part where you're supposed to cry." The girl in the red dress was just a sad attempt at symbolism and was so contrived. It was one of the film's shallow attempts at complexity. Never before has a movie been such an ideal example of "Oscar-Bait." The way the movie was made just cries out "this is an important movie!" or "you must respect me as a masterpiece!" The over-indulgence with technique makes a mockery of the Holocaust. The movie is even manipulative to the last minute when people are putting stones on Schindler's grave and there is a long forced moment of silence that is purposefully there to get the audience to contemplate what they've just seen. The movie is so self-conscious concerning it's own importance. There are many great movies made about the horrors of the Holocaust. This is not one of them. It's better if you see documentaries on the subject which are by far more informing.

Summary: Can this film be ignored?
Review: Yeah. Easily. Spielberg has to stop with the Germans. It's becoming uncomfortable. What is the word when you constantly portray an entire race, it's culture and it's language as evil and subhuman? I await the next Indiana Jones film with interest.

Summary: a terrific true life story brought to the screen
Review: this movie is brilliant! speilberg has created a moving, thrilling masterpiece with this film...the black and white makes it even better ...it is however ,depressing and violent...but maybe it needed to be shown so graphic to show people just how horrific the holocaust was.neeson is excellent,as is fiennes. the part with the girl in the red jacket will really get to you. and to the reviewer named yetlyl or whatever it was u have no clue what this movie is about ..how can u talk about a true story such as the holocaust as if it should have been an action movie and schindler be the indiana jones ..that is a disgrace to the whole movie project. and speilberg did not direct "field of dreams" ..shows how much you know.

Summary: Simply amazing.
Review: simply amazing. That's really i can say. But one that does annoy me about one of the posts..and i quote "And what's with the black and white? Hey, I have no problem with it, as a rule, but guess what: in real life, during the 1940's, people lived in _color_! Surprise! It's not more "realistic" by being on b/w, for God's sake." if this person knew anything about photography in general he/she would know that black and whit shows more drama and emotion. if you ask me the person that posted that review hasnt seen alot of the great dramas from the 50's.

Summary: what a snooze.
Review: Hey don't get me wrong I like Holocaust movies as much as the next guy , but this one was a real let down. First of all there are no Americans(at least not American characters)hey spielzy what gives, wheres are hero, schindler is no indiana jones. Perhaps he should of handed the script over to michael cricton.I think spielberg is our greatest "dreamweaver", to quote someone else, but this film has no pizazz, or more importantly no color. plus it doesn't have any great action scenes or excitement like saving private ryan. I guess the holocaust is a good topic to make a movie about, but brother this movie aint no "hook". hopefully people will forget about this turkey and pay more attention to stephen's better work, 'amistad' 'field of dreams' ' the lost world'.

Summary: He who saves one life saves the world in time...
Review: I think the most powerful message in this film is that you don't have to be a saint to do remarkably good acts, and that you don't have to be a monster to do acts of unspeakable barbarity. Oskar Schindler was a war profiteer, a user of slave labor, a Nazi sycophant, and womanizer. And yet he risked his life, and lost all his ill-gotten gains, to save Jews from the Holocaust. Schindler's Nazi counterpart, Goeth, is a study in amorality. He isn't insane, or some kind of monster; he does what he does because he wants to, simple as that. This is a marvelous story, beautifully told by Spielberg, of the good and evil within each of us.
Rating:
Summary: Incredibly moving, shocking, and dramatic
Review: One of the most honest and frank motion pictures is a jet-black masterpiece. The Holocaust is portrayed magnificently by Spielberg, who directed Jaws, of how over 6 million Jews were killed in shootings, ghettos, and concentration camps. Absolutely moving, with terrific performances.Spielberg delivers digression of our anticipation, shocking us with the deaths of the innocent Jews( particulary the death of the grateful man with one arm). A generally unprecedented drama/horror that deserves your full attention.
