A movie that had to be made and has to be seen

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 1999)

I only saw 'Schindler's List' for the first time in April 1999. I had dismissed it as an attempt to tug at heartstrings.
Boy, was I wrong.I watched this movie and felt horror, shame and relief. It inspired me to apply (as a mature age student) to University to study History, in order to try and understand this period in human history.
I wasn't interested in the Holocaust when I watched it - I was more interested in Liam Neeson. But since then I have made an effort to try and understand it from the three different angles - the Nazis, the Jews, and the Rest of the World.
Awake your social conscience and watch this movie. If you've already watched it and can't understand what I'm saying, then read some accounts of the Holocaust - try 'The Diary of Anne Frank' - then watch it again.
It has had a profound effect on how I view and judge people.
