Spielberg's masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2001)

This is without a doubt at the top of my list of the best movies. If you don't like this moving film, then feel for a pulse.
It tells the story of Oskar Schindler and his factory of Jewish slaves forced to work. The factory eventually becomes a haven for the Jews, and Schindler becomes a willing partner in saving "his" Jews.

A note about the use of black and white. This is a master-stroke by Spielberg. The impact is extreme especially when the few touches of color are added for effect.
Another note about the director. In SO many of Spielberg's movies, he is right up front with his direction. When you see one of his movies, you KNOW it. If I did not know Spielberg had directed it, I would have been surprised to find out. He steps back from the material and lets the story tell itself.
EVERYBODY should see this movie at least once. Spielberg will NEVER do anything as good.
