The movie could have shown a little more about Oskar Schindler

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2013)

The movie picks up the essence of the man Oskar Schindler. The movie could have done with a little more portrayal of his actual background like his joining the intelligence service of Nazi Germany in 1936 or his joining the Nazi Party in 1939. The movie also doesn't mention the fact that In 1939, when Schindler obtained the enamelware factory in Kraków, Poland, it employed over 700 non-Jewish workers as well. A little bit could have added on how Oskar siphoned them off. However, the compiling and typing of the list of 1,200 Jews using names provided by Jewish Ghetto Police officer Marcel Goldberg by Göth's secretary Mietek Pemper is portrayed as realistically as it gets. It congeals the title "Schindler's List" and essence of the movie. A snapshot of real history Overall, the movie stays true to the spirit of Australian novelist Thomas Keneally's 1982 novel "Schindler's Ark". In my book, this is the most serious work of Spielberg. A must-see. And even if one doesn't like 'serious', the storytelling is as grabbing and inimitable as only Steven Spielberg can tell
