A ray of light shining on the darkest page of history

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2001)

Steven Spielburg finally proved to everybody that he is indeed a great director. We see here a movie that cannot be describes with simple words. What, I believe, gave this movie its soul is that fact that the director and his crew truly dedicated this remarkable feat to the victims of the darkest pages of history. Frightening as the scenes were, so was its message of final redemption. Concentrating on the few who survived rather than the millions who perished was indeed a dangerous step that could have offended many. And yet Steven pulled it off. Through the survivors he honoured the dead. Such complex feelings I had never felt at the movie theatres before. More words are useless.
