A work of Art

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2010)

Thank God for Steven Spielberg! Oh my God! this is one of the deepest movies you can see, I know that Spielberg is Jewish, so you can tell that every detail of the film is personal for him. I can't watch this movie again, I suffered though the entire film, and cried my guts out from minute 10.
The casting... It was the right choice not to cast famous actors, it would have taken the seriousness from the film, Liam Neeson gives a strong performance through the film, I mean, he helps the Jewish, but he still sees them as an inferior race, but at the end, when he breaks down in tears after they give him the ring, he recognizes them as people, not workers, people. One of the best scenes ever, I loved the transition of the character. Ralph Fiennes is an excellent villain, I love the inner fight that he has when he "falls in love" with Helen, his performance gives you goose bumps.
The symbolism, how it is all in black and white, except for the girl in the red coat, the innocence of a kid walking around corpses, the death of innocence, for me. Gives me chills
I mean, you hear about the Holocaust in History class, but you can't imagine how cruel that was, at least I had no idea, and when the movie ended, I spent some minutes crying, wondering how was that possible, to treat people worse than animals. One thing is clear Holocaust must NEVER happen again.
An the music is breathtaking is sadness translated into a score...
This a breathtaking movie. It is art.
It really touches your heart, you suffer and cry with the Jewish people.
PURE ART
