A Moving Film

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2014)

I thought this movie was a really amazing one, probably because it connected to me in such a deep way. Although this started off as a religion class movie, it was much more than just that. I feel like that I connected with the movie on more of a spiritual way instead. The most heartbreaking scene to me was the final one, where Oskar Schindler broke down in tears as he was about to flee Germany. I think that the situation he was placed in really exemplified the role of moral issues in the movie. He reflected in his choices he made relating to the number of lives that he could saved and this I'm sure, left Schindler with a tremendous amount of guilt. This was also a point in the movie where I realized the big issue at heart in this movie. The dilemma I think he was facing was one about sacrifice and how much a life is worth. I thought that this idea was one that really challenged the audience and is an unanswerable question. Apart from the emotional/moral side of this movie, I thought it was well produced and well made. The acting from Liam Neeson in this was fantastic and he showed the feelings faced perfectly. I would definitely recommend this movie for anyone - it really shows the state of society during The Holocaust and faces important moral values.
