A real thought provoker... but it should have been better.

Rating: 7/10 (2 December 2005)

(Warning: This contains spoilers) This was an incredible movie that everyone should see once in their life. To know and understand the horrors instituted at Auschwitz and similar camps is a credit to the human race. The facts must out if we are to ever prevent genocide from continuing to plague the human race.
I commend Steven Spielburg for making this wonderful film.
Why did I only give it a seven out of ten? This movie is wonderful.The girl in the red dress. The flakes of human flesh raining down like snow from the crematoriums. Schindler wishing he had done more to help the Jews. The extremely touching ending scenes, filmed in colour. But the movie is marred, and the message disturbed, by the blatant sexuality,which, in the opening scenes, seems to be almost a second plot to the movie.
Certain nude scenes were necessary to the plot of the movie, such as the "sorting" of the Jews. But it was needless to throw in scenes of people having sex, during which several more personal areas of the human anatomy are visible, or see a woman lying naked in her bed. I was disgusted that this otherwise almost flawless film had to be ruined by it. For shame.
What was in this movie that would suggest everyone should see it? The truth. The horrors of Nazism's influence on the Jewish race must be made known. Genocide could be prevented if everyone was taught to think along Oskar Schindler's lines. If you can see a version on television where the sex is left out, go for it
It could have been such a wonderful movie...
