Schindler's List

   Yeah, I know I'm rather behind with the times seeing as I just now watched this film for the first time. Well, better late then never, right? So initial gut reaction of the movie, it was fantastic.

   Schindler's List stars Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler, a member of the Nazi Party during World War 2, who ends up starting a company, and though contacts hires Jews to work for him. At first Schindler just wanted to make money, but, he comes to want to help the Jews, and end up being one of their biggest, and most unlikely helps.

   Schindler's List as I previously said was a fantastic film, the movie being in black and white really made you pay attention to the characters and the dialog, instead of studying the surroundings during a scene. the sheer brutality portrayed in the film is so frustrating, knowing that events like this actually happened and a lot more often then one could dream.

  Steven Spielberg really put the Holocaust out for everyone to see, and experience in a sense, through the eyes of those involved. It was terrible knowing these events took place, even know Oskar Schindler became a better man because of it, it is something that cannot happen ever again. Everyone must see this film.
