Plot: Based on a true story, Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List stars Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler, a German businessman in Poland who sees an opportunity to make money from the Nazis' rise to power. He starts a company to make cookware and utensils, using flattery and bribes to win military contracts, and brings in accountant and financier Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley) to help run the factory. By staffing his plant with Jews who've been herded into Krakow's ghetto by Nazi troops, Schindler has a dependable unpaid labor force. For Stern, a job in a war-related plant could mean survival for himself and the other Jews working for Schindler. However, in 1942, all of Krakow's Jews are assigned to the Plaszow Forced Labor Camp, overseen by Commandant Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes), an embittered alcoholic who occasionally shoots prisoners from his balcony. Schindler arranges to continue using Polish Jews in his plant, but, as he sees what is happening to his employees, he begins to develop a conscience. He realizes that his factory (now refitted to manufacture ammunition) is the only thing preventing his staff from being shipped to the death camps. Soon Schindler demands more workers and starts bribing Nazi leaders to keep Jews on his employee lists and out of the camps. By the time Germany falls to the allies, Schindler has lost his entire fortune -- and saved 1,100 people from likely death. Schindler's List was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won seven, including Best Picture and a long-coveted Best Director for Spielberg, and it quickly gained praise as one of the finest American movies about the Holocaust. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

An exquisite tribute.

This movie IS, what is seen as a very much misused and misguided label on this company's reviews, one of the most moving and beautifully crafted films ever made.
The very level to which "human" beings will sink when brain-washed by any power... religious or un...is caught so brilliantly and man's atavistic nature is always lying on the surface just ready to erupt and stike.

One of the greatest Steven Speilberg films ever made, "Shindler's List" is widely regarded as the best movie to ever dramatize the horriffic trauma that Jewish people faced during Hitler's terrifying reign. Winner of an amazing seven Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, "Shindler's List" accounts how Oskar Shindler (played beautifully by Liam Neeson) saved the lives of over 1100 Jews. Ralph Fiennes, one of my favorite actors, plays a moody, murderous man working for Hitler, who possesses the soul of the devil. The DVD is breathtaking and comes with an array of informative bonus features that puts light on the film. Included are interviews with the cast and crew, most notably Speilberg, on how "Shindler's List" was made and its impact on the public consciousness upon its release, as well as trailers, and so much more. The movie is a whopping 3 hours and 16 minutes, the perfect companion for a Sunday afternoon. "Shindler's List" will make you think about respect for fellow humans and the debths that evil will take to try to override the good in the world.

Schindler's List
Added 1/8/2010

The true story of Austrian industrialist Oskar Schindler, who harbored Polish Jews during WWII by using them as workers in his factory. Schindler saved 1,100 Jews from certain death. This is a powerful movie. This movie will tug at your emotions all the way through. Steven Spielberg directed this with extreme great care and love. Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and the whole cast were perfect. A must see for anyone who has not yet done so.

Real moive a must see

THis is not the movie you look at for a happy feeling or to cheer you up. If you want a realistic movie based on a true story that is one of Spielberg's best, watch it. It is not for kids or people that can't look at a movie without a lot of action every two minutes. These great actors have done work that can be referred to as one of their best, if not the best of their career. One might even tear up with this movie. To watch a real character movie that can show the worst and best in the human race and later you can say, I am glad I watched that movie, then this is one for you. J.R.

Holocaust

This very true story of Oskar Schindler is compelling and necessary to remind many of what happens when government chooses to eliminate those they do not believe that all men are endowed by the creator, with certain unalienable rights.

This is a very tough film to watch, but it should be required watching for those in our day who think that National Socialism is a better way of life than a free man. The agony of the truth behind this film, and the history of the Schindler Jews who eventually went back to Palastine to carve out a national Israel is compelling. The horrible truth is that the remnant of Jews who did carve out National Israel are doing so with enemies all around and yet reveal that a hand greater than the politicians and historians is at work even in our day.

A revelation to modern man that Yahweh does indeed intervene into the lives of the children of men. Strongly recommended for the strong at heart--whiners need not disturb their self made utopia.
