Second Splash of color.

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2003)

Myself and my wife have started to go through the top 250 and watch everything that we haven't seen. She had never seen Schindler's List before and I have watched it many times. It surprises me that even ten years later this masterpiece still moves me the way it does.
I was just reading some of the other comments and many of them are mistaken. They are saying that other than the opening scene there is only the one piece of color (the red coat of the little girl). This is not true. There is a second scene. Very near the end of the movie in the Schindler reminds the Rabi about the Sabbath, the very next scene there is a small group of people celebrating the Sabbath, they light 2 candles, the flame of the candles are in color as well. It's very subtle but it's there. This splash of color is as important as the little girl. I can only assume that this is the first time in a very long time that they were allowed to express their beliefs and the flame is a symbol of the light in there lives and the new hope that they were given.

I just wanted to bring this little fact to light. It's a scene with great significance and it shouldn't be over looked.
