Is it REALLY beautiful?

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2004)

The simple answer to that one line summary is yes. As i read a review here once about this movie being beautiful and that's only too right. Of course it is very rough and violent, but then again it's a movie about war and about the oppression of a hole religion. The right thing to do by director Spielberg was to make this like a journalist would. And John William's music is too touching to describe.
Usually I dislike movies of great historical happenings or big battles and so on, but Schindler's List is an exception. Though it tells of Schindler himself, clearly the movie's real concern is the Jewish, not the one man who made that difference. And that is there as clear as it could be. What the Nazis did there on work and concentration camps is so shocking and this movie tells of that so shockingly as you can imagine. It even goes to sadistic measures with the character of Amon Goeth a bit too much at points maybe. But maybe not. That actually is the fact that makes this movie so powerful and interesting.
Schindler's List is one the best ever made because it is the prime of big movies. You just can't ignore all the perfectness of every single frame, shot, piece of music and of course that acting great too. But really as said this movie is about what happened during the holocaust, from the beginning to end. If you haven't seen this watch it now, because there are not many movies that match up to this. Truly and clearly the best picture of Steven Spielberg.
