Spielberg's best masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (18 August 2003)

This movie is definitely my favorite one.
The movie
It is shot in a very realistic setting and makes the viewer believe that he/she is really co-existing in the movie. I am glad that it is shot in black/white instead of color. This adds a more dark and pessimistic tone, like it was in those days. However, there is one color added in the ghetto liquidation scene. The red coat of the little girl. This color adds to the sad situation the girl is in.
The story
The story is very unique and original: A German businessman is saving the lives of Jews. It is maybe not like it really happened. But without that background info the viewer still gets a realistic view of that period of time. The end of the movie is very sad when Schindler has to leave the Jews.

The music
John Williams made a fantastic soundtrack for this movie. I bought the soundtrack of course and enjoy listening to it. My favorite is the piano reprise.
I certainly recommend this movie to anyone who still hasn't seen it.
