Very Moving Film

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2015)

Schindler's List has always stuck in my mind as a powerful film, and I knew that this was no ordinary movie when my parents let me watch it when I was only 13. They normally didn't allow me to watch R rated movies (they didn't even let me see PG-13 rated movies until I was 13). I of course was familiar with the holocaust from school, but this film really shows just how horrible the atrocities were that went on here. Mr. Schindler was a great man for what he did, and this film does an excellent job of honoring his memory. Schindler's list is about a man named Oskar Schindler who owned a factory in Germany during World War II. After seeing how Jews are treated in the concentration camps he feels deep sympathy for them and wants to do something, anything to help. So he gets the idea to convince the Germans that he needs more help in his factory to help with the war effort and that Jews would make excellent workers. So this allows him to save at least some of the Jews from the horrible fate of being in the camps.
