Moving film about human life and how less it is valued

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2011)

Firstly, it must be said that Ralph Fiennes is absolutely stunning as the ruthless and cruel Goeth; it is without doubt the finest performance by an actor that I have ever seen. How he did not win an Oscar for this film is beyond me and probably beyond others.
Liam Neeson also delivers a great performance as a man who lives only for wealth and money but then changes slowly into a man of principle who begins to feel empathy and sadness towards the Jews after witnessing their persecution.
This film depicts the atrocities of man and how it considers power to outweigh the sanctity of life. Only after watching this film will one realise that suffering and destruction are a reflection of reality; how men committed unspeakable acts on behalf of their superiors and how those same men were then led to fight for a purpose which was non- existent. It must be emphasised that this will never change.
