Oscar's List

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2003)

I have chosen this headline because it has a double meaning; 1.The person this is about is Mr.Oscar Schindler 2.This film was awarded with 7 Academy Awards (Oscar).
Something is happening to you when you see this film. I can't think of any film before who has shown the Holocaust in the way this film does. Everything is so fantastic, John Williams' music, Janucz Kaminski's filming and of course; Steven Spielberg's directing. And the film gets even more realistic when it's filmed in black/white.
There's so many things to say about this film. I could have written about it for several years. The locations they have used for the shots from the Jewish ghetto. The almost magical symbol with the little girl in red running around in the ghetto, the German maniacs that are burning all the dead people and the brilliant photograph who has filmed this,it makes you feel you're a part of the story. There is especially one shot I would like to say something about. When the steam-trains filled with the cold Jews are arriving the consentration camp in Auschwitz and the all the moments that are captured by Janucz Kaminski you really understand how these people must have been suffering. Yes, it's a sad film. But it is fantastic!
