Schindler's List is a masterpiece. No one but Steven Spielberg could so vividly and dramatically capture the essence of such a tragic time. While the film begins with an amusing and charming twist, Spielberg draws you into the reality of the events in a way that truly brings them to life. He strategically bases the film from the point of view of a man living a life of comfort and safety, not unlike that which we as Americans live and take for granted every day, and showing us the horror of the Jews' lives therein. To the point and yet very fluent, this film is sure to bring a tear to your eye, if it is given your full attention. The harsh reality of a seemingly forgotten past lingers still, and Steven Spielberg has brought the memory from the shadows.
