Poignant, powerful, bone-chilling, mesmerising.

Rating: Null/10 (4 February 1999)

This is a film which challenges the human nature. How is the human race capable of such babaricy? Such genocide and mindless, unnecessary slaughter, just because of religion. It makes you sick. Schindler's List is a film which tackles the issues of war, religion and the human spirit with emotion.
It revolves around Oskar Schindler, a factory kingpin who, amidst the chaos and slaughter of the war, decides to help the defenceless, enslaved Polish Jews. He makes a list, comprising of 1100 Jewish people, whom he shall liberate and set free. Hence, Schinder's List.
Spielberg's direction is first class, and he tells the story with emotion, yet the film is totally in-your-face. One scene which captures the poignancy is where the red dress of a little girl is shown in colour, even though the film is shot in black and white. It sticks out and captures the essence of innocence. A master stroke.
I loved the movie because it was so heartfelt and so deliberately graphic, it just stirs so many emotions and shakes the finger at ourselves. It is a brilliant movie.
Ten out of ten.
