One of the most essential, powerfully moving & profoundly affecting films to ever grace the silver screen, Schindler's List is the crowning achievement in the remarkable film career of Steven Spielberg that finds the master storyteller at the pinnacle of his artistry, is crafted with extreme care n dedication, and is rightfully acknowledged as one of the most honoured & significant films of all time.

There are many films out there that have dealt with the subject of Holocaust in the past but the level of precision, craftsmanship & commitment that Spielberg brings on the screen plus the emotional impact this film delivers over the course of its runtime is truly in a league of its own. And even after two decades, Schindler's…

This film bothers me and not because of its subject matter, but because of its treatment of it.

When making a film about the Holocaust, everything you do is fraught with danger. One could even argue that visualizing the Holocaust in a work of fiction is something that shouldn't be attempted as such inhuman suffering and mindless slaughter should be dealt with in reality, not in the realms of fiction.

If you approach Spielberg's film as such, there is a lot that feels wrong in this film. There is no hope in the Holocaust, yet Spielberg seems intent on showing us there is. From the shower scene that subversively plays with our expectations to the actual story of a small…

Hi everybody, today I present you our number 3 from our Top 111 List. First the circumstances how I watched the film lately and then a detailed opinion from my point of view, so feel free to skip the first part. I had this review ready to post for quite a while, but could not bring myself to post it. After careful consideration I came to the conviction that no review is really satisfying for this movie and topic that I can just as well post mine. I tried it with the most respect.

At the end of January…

The fact that Tom Hank's beat out Liam Neeson for the oscar shows that the academy has no credibility

I don't even know how to begin, this movie is one of the most confronting and hauntingly beautiful things ever put to film. This is the first movie that ever made me cry and its the only movie to make me cry every time I watch it. Although gaunt and harsh Speildberg really has this amazing ability to see the beautiful and the macabre, its actually amazing that there's a director out there who believes in all things good as much as this man, and that's not saying he devalues the holocausts at all he just extracts the little light and…

I often say that it’s amazing that I haven’t seen whatever well regarded film I am watching at the time, but I think that it is absolutely true here. It is completely ridiculous that this is the first time I have ever watched this deeply moving and brilliantly made film. To be honest, I struggled at times with the Hollywood formalism and fact that it is an extremely watchable film. For a three hour plus film about one of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind, the experience zooms by due to Spielberg’s knack for creating engaging, pathos drenched characters, but also how many tools he uses to entertain and titillate the audience. I struggle with this because it…

I've seen this film before. In my AP World History class in 11th grade. We watched it over the course of a week or two.

I don't know if this is a real memory or not. I know it happened. Just not necessarily to me. But there was another kid in my grade named Joshua Madison (no relation). And I remember the chilling scene of the women running around in the yard of the camp. And I remember the instance of Joshua Madison laughing during this scene. Because Jews.

I'm complicit. I made the same kind of ironic anti-Semitic humor back in the day. I probably will again. I don't want to, but I know I'm insecure enough that I…

Schindler's List is one of those movies I saw for the first time during quarantine. It has always been critically acclaimed as the best Spielberg movies by many. The first time I saw it I already loved it but I didn't call it the best Spielberg movie yet. My favorite Spielberg movie for the longest time was Raiders of the Lost Ark. But on rewatch I can abso-freaking-lutely say that Schindler's List is the best Steven Spielberg movie ever made period and there's a great reason for that.

Positives:
- It may not be my favorite movie of all time, but this is the most perfect movie ever made. And also this is the most human and realistic movie I've…
