Spielberg's triumph

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2005)

Eventually every one should see this film. I say eventually because there are several scenes, particularly the latrine scene, that will turn one's stomach. This movie is stark in its portrayal of The Holocaust, with depictions of human depravity not meant to be viewed by younger audiences. What makes "Schindler's List" not a maudlin or sensationalistic movie is that it stays very close to what really happened in Poland and Bohemia/Sudetenland between 1939 and 1945. This movie must be seen for it bears witness to one of the monstrous periods of history. However, great care must be taken with younger audiences. Mr. Spielberg himself said that he would not screen it to children younger than high school age.
