Most powerful film I've ever seen...

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2007)

Simply put, this is the most powerful film I've ever seen in my life.
I missed it in the theater, but caught it on home video (VHS even! How quaint!). I had heard all the buzz about it...but I wasn't prepared for the IMPACT. At the end of the film, I was an emotional wreck, both amazed and horrified at the extremes of human behavior.
Yes, it is a film based on historical events. But it does not attempt to paint its characters as pure. Liam Neeson delivers as Schindler, while Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes--hell, the entire cast--turn in some truly powerful performances.
The criticism of this movie astonishes me. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out some people in this world. Let me put it another way--if you are not moved even a little by this film, or if you use snarky, cynical reasons to bash it, you're not even human. You don't even have a soul. You don't care.
This film will resonate long after we are gone, as well as it should. The Holocaust did happen. And yes, millions of other people besides Jews were slaughtered. But SCHINDLER'S LIST reminds us to never forget the holocausts of history. Never forget--never again.
