One of the most important films in out time

Rating: Null/10 (14 September 1999)

Schindler's List in my opinion one of the best films ever made - furthermore, it's a monument for all of those who did have to courage to do something good, however small.
Oskar Schindler was no stereotypical hero, on the contrary, he had many faults which were wonderfully portrayed in the film.
Strangely, the film - however serious it was - was entertaining, too, which is rather remarkable:
There seems to be a general belief in most of "serious" critics (and filmmakers) that a good, serious film with a difficult theme has to be unsuccessful - take a look at some film which critics did like, and you'll find a lot of commercial, unsuccessful, boring films, for example Fassbender's films.
If you take a closer look at the criticism uttered by some of "serious" critics, you'll note that they stick to the credo above - a "good" movie must not be a successful movie.
I've watched the movie 1994 and I'm not sure if I'm going to watch it again - it is till the present day the most moving, stirring movie I've seen - and the first (and only) only in which I've actually cried.
So, I've you're going to watch Schindler's List (which I strongly recommend), do yourself a favor: don't plan anything entertaining till the next day - I wasn't able to do so after watching it.
10 Points out of 10.
