The Greatest Movie Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2004)

SOME SPOILERS
Steven Spielberg's 1993 masterpiece, `Schindler's List' is not only a historical account of the atrocities of World War II, but also a passionate tale of survival and finding humanity over greed that all films dealing with the Holocaust must live by.
"Schindler's List" is about Nazi war profiteer, Oskar Schindler , who, with help from Jewish accountant Itzak Stern attempts to save money in his pot and pan producing factory by using cheap Jewish labor. Through the story, his motives change from earning gains to preserving life, as he uses his factory as a safe haven for Jews who otherwise would not have been saved; such as the elderly, young, handicapped.
The film is a historically educational as it is emotionally scaring, launching the audience far past the point of tears to the edge of gut wrenching so powerful, it makes them want to vomit from the horrors committed on the innocent by fellow man.
I, myself, am a weeper when it comes to movies, and no matter how hard I try, can't seem to muster the strength to not cry like a ten year old girl by the end at Schindler's emotional breakdown on the footsteps of his factory; casting aside a pin that could have saved one more life, or a car that could have saved ten.

The film itself is as close to perfect as a movie can get, and by no means, a casual watch.
