First-rate movie about the true story of Oskar Schindler, a Nazi Industrialist who saved hundreds of Jews from the Death Camps.
Undoubtedly a personal project for director Steven Spielberg, Schindlers list is a powerful and harrowing film, which uses stark black and white cinematography to immense effect.
Electrifying performances from all concerned help to create a haunting and fear-laden atmosphere, which is heart rending in its scope.
It is sad to reflect that towards the end of the 20th century, ethnic cleansing would once again make the news after the horrors in the former Yugoslavia were disclosed.
There are many reasons to watch Schindlers List but forefront is its aim to dispel any Holocaust ignorance that still exists and help to prevent any such occurrence of events ever happening again.
Schindlers list, although tragic and disturbing also offers hope and salvation
