a masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (14 March 2001)

This is truly a remarkable film, definitely deserving of the best picture Oscar it received.
Films based on historical fact can work if they totally absorb the audience, and this one does. The power of the movie, Mr. Schindler's full 180 from Nazi to helping the prisoners, and some of the images (such as the little girl wearing a pink coat in an otherwise black-and-white setting) contribute.
Being Jewish myself, I was especially impressed and moved. This movie is not to be missed. I think it will become a classic and be mentioned in the same breath as such movies as Casablanca and Gone With the Wind. It is that good.
**** out of ****
