On par with Schindler's List

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2006)

What Mr. Spielberg has gone and done is something that only a few filmmakers in the history of cinema have managed. He has managed to create a film of history that explains our current situation beyond any film I have seen since September 11th(the last shot of the film supports this). Spielberg is one the few directors remaining who is able to yield to the actors talent allowing them the freedom to truly ACT. The film was long, no doubt, and should be seen in the theater, but in view of the length, Spielberg never loses our attention. Flawlessly written, directed, acted, and edited, this film is stuff of greatness. By far the best film of the year. If anything the most underrated film of the year as well. If it fails to win Best Picture than the academy should take a year or two off to evaluate its judges. Dark, yet supreme.
