An emotional masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2018)

This work of art is as much of a masterpiece as people say it is. Beforehand, I thought it was merely overrated. But that, I can tell you, is absolutely not true. This is a masterpiece, empowered by amazing acting, directing, filming and attributes. I've been taken through a rollercoaster of emotions. From fear, to anger, to joy, to grief.
Schindler's List (1993) is an amazing movie, so I wasn't surprised that it was directed by Steven Spielberg. Liam Neeson has done a very good job acting as Oskar Schindler. He has portrayed his emotions very well, helplessness as well as showing true power. Ralph Fiennes hasn't disappointed me either as he showed us great insanity throughout the movie.
While Oskar Schindler himself was a man of innocence, he was not innocent at all. He had taken part in the entertaining side of Nazi activities willingly. Many will say it was done for the greater good. People who actually watched the movie, will know that a big part of Schindler himself told him that he's acting dangerously and should stop helping humanity but rather help his bank account. But an even bigger part took out on his emotions and actually helped the Schindler Jews - later on in the movie.
I'm very happy that the good side of Oskar Schindler took over. He said himself, 'war brings out only the bad in people. Just the bad.', ironically!
The little details throughout the whole movie have very much amazed me. Every gory scene showing massacred Jews, intense shooting scenes, SS activities and so on. His list looked just like names. His golden Nazi pin looked just like gold, not like a person. But actually seeing the bad that was done to innocent Jews, has made a huge difference up to this day. Still, I am more touched by visuals than by mere numbers. Actual persons, actual blood and actual pain. It was all shown, and I'm glad it was. It makes one realise what the war was actually like. Even the noir filming did not matter. Everything came out just as emotional.
I absolutely recommend this movie to everyone who wants to know what a powerful but good man does during the second world war, or how Jews were treated.
