Superb

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2005)

Last night, after reading many fabulous reviews, I was lucky enough to view Schindlers list, a supposed "masterpiece" directed by the famous, the fabulous, Steven Spielberg, creating masterpieces such as E.T. and Jurassic park. So I went into this 3 hour epic with high hopes.
It starts off rather depressingly, but picks up. Directed beautifully in black and white, to give it a more old fashioned sense, it clearly shows the films class. Schindler's slimy personality is soon introduced (we see he has affairs with more that one women) and cannot promise his estranged wife she is the only one he will truly ever feel for. Then, we are introduced to Ralph Fiennes (Goeth) a rather brutal member of the Nazi party. So both of the characters "politically incorrect" frames are introduced.
The film is simply too long for me to comment on every happening, but it becomes blatantly apparent that this film didn't win 7 academy awards for nothing. Both hopeful and poignant (showing some rather graphic violent scenes as well) this truly is a masterpiece that should be viewed by all.
Final summary: ***** out of ***** (5 out of 5)
