A touching, brilliant and tough film to watch

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2001)

Schindler's list is without a doubt fantastic to say the least. A masterpiece. It is very much historically correct and worthy of all the academy awards it won. I must admit though, I found this film hard and tough to watch. After I viewed it I had to really think about whether I liked it or not. After the second time I viewed the film, I fell in love with the feature.
The story is based on Oscar Schindler's factories during the war and how a greedy, charming and womanizing man was the unlikely Saviour of more then a thousand Jews.
Liam Neeson and Ben Kingsley give fantastic and dramatic performances, but the real credit here goes to Ralph Fiennes who plays the evil murderer Amon Goeth. His performance is fantastic and haunting. As soon as neither Liam Neeson or Ralph Fiennes received an Oscar for their roles in the film I went completely against the Academy awards and didn't watch the Oscars again until 1997 where Titanic won the Best Picture Oscar. I watched the Oscar's again in 1998 and my jaw flew open as soon as Shakespeare in love beat Saving Private Ryan to the Best Picture award (what a joke). I haven't watched the Oscar's since.
This film is my third Favourite movie and I give it 10/10. Well done Spielberg you've amazed me again.
