A powerful and compulsive epic like no other!

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2005)

Throughout the history of historical drama's, Schindler's List has been recognised as the most powerful and emotionally distressing film ever made. The film tells the amazing and capturing story of Oscar Schindler who was an experienced war profiteer and was incidentally a member of the infamous Nazi party, but it is the incredible triumph of one man who saw through the brutal demise of his comrades and therefore committed himself to give him up his livelihood to save the lives of 1,100 Jews. Schindler's List is the one and only film that explores the triumph of this one man who has saved generations and the film itself has become the most compulsive drama ever made. The most realistic thing about this epic is the camera work, in order to make the film look more realistic to the times, Steven Spielberg wanted the film to be filmed in black & white, the ending sequence was actually considered to be unusual as the survivors from the Holocaust do the vow to commemorate Oscar Schindler by placing rocks on his grave which is considered to be an old Jewish tradition. Due to the authenticity of the film, Schindler's List garnered an astounding 7 Academy Awards and has now been recognised as the most greatest epic ever made.
