German War Profiteer Turned Humanitarian

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2019)

"Schinder's List" is a remarkable movie about Oskar Schindler,a German war profiteer and industrialist, that surprisingly turned into a humanitarian when he turned against the Nazi Party goal of having Europe free of Jews. The film directed by Steven Spielberg stars Liam Neeson in the title role as Schindler together with Ralph Fiennes,who portrayed the evil and trigger-happy Commandant Amon Goeth,Ben Kingsley, Caroline Goodall and Embeth Davidzt.
This 3-hour film tells the story of how Schindler started an enamelware factory at Poland after Germany annexed it and hired Jews as production workers to make a lot of profit. In it,we witness the transformation of Schindler from first making money to becoming the savior of the 1,200 Jews as the war is about to end. We also see the gross violence especially when Jews are being killed at will and how they are being sent to concentration camps such as Auschwitz and Plaszow to be killed. In addition to that,we get to see Schindler's negative traits such as being an unfaithful husband and a prodigious womanizer that turned into a surprising saint by giving the Jews a helping hand.
The film was definitely a great film as it was moving. It presents the viewer of the disturbing and harrowing Holocaust which is an experience of inhumanity. Added to that,we get to see great performances from Neeson,Fiennes,Davidzt, and Kingsley. Overall,this is one of the best films ever released.
