Schindler's List

Pros: Amazing acting, Great direction, Good story, Great character development, DVD bonus features
Cons: None (Except the title)

There are certain things we seem to take for granted with modern cinema. Movies about the Holocaust are pretty much money in the bank (unless, I suppose, you're showing your movie in Iran) and the generally-assumed best movie about the Holocaust is ...

Pros: Spielberg's direction; fine acting; superb black-and-white photography
Cons: The Nazi horrors are not spared, so you have been warned

There is very little doubt that the Holocaust was pretty close to being the most barbaric example of Man's inhumanity to Man in our entire history. We can never fully conceive of the hatred that one man--Adolf Hitler--could have that he would kill...

Pros: everything. From the music to the wonderous end where the families pay their respect to Shindler's grave.
Cons: none except it is true

There has never been a movie as powerful as Shindler's List, a true story based on Oskar...

Pros: Good story, good cast, good script, good dirction, etc
Cons: maybe a little too serious and monotonous for some

This is universally acclaimed to be one of the best movies. Steven Speilberg who has many great movies to his name directed Schindler’s list. He created a classic movie when he made this movie which leaves a lasting impression in the minds of the people...

Pros: the story of one type of hero
Cons: violent, depressing

Pros: Masterpiece, disturbing, absolutely enthralling.
Cons: Will hurt your heart.

Outline: Oskar Schindler uses Jews to start a factory in Poland during the war. He witnesses the horrors endured by the Jews, and starts to save them.


Steven Spielberg’s heart wrenching film about the Holocaust is probably one of...

Pros: Direction of Steven Spielberg, script and story, Liam Neeson
Cons: none

Having attended school in the years following the release of this film, I have been heavily educated in the history of the Holocaust. I took a special course on it, at the end of which a survivor came in to speak with us. I've watched the documentaries,...

Pros: richly retailed history of the holocaust, the acting and cinematography was uncanning
Cons: a bit on the nerve wrecking side, but it is well worth it!

THREE HOUR MOVIE?! It didn't matter that I was in the dark for such a long time. This film was so rich that it was well worth it.

I saw this movie just weeks after writing a huge report on the Holocaust. I watched it with my mother, feeling...

Pros: Greatest Holocaust Movie Of All Time?
Cons: May be too intense for younger audiences...

William L. Shirer wrote that this was the first criminal empire ever established on the planet. If so, then perhaps this is a greater crime movie than "GoodFellas". The SS war against the Jews had little to do with military objectives on any...

Pros: touching, an experience for the soul and the mind, technically wonderful
Cons: violence is hard to watch, not suitable for very young children

Schindler's List is an unforgettable film. It is not only a wonderful movie in its own right, but also holds true historical significance. Let me say, right from the start, that critics of the film say that it glorifies Oscar Schindler, making him into a...

Pros: Very moving, quality film crafting
Cons: Adult situations, not for small children

The third of January, 1994 was a quiet cool afternoon as I walked with friends through the grounds of Neuengamme, a concentration camp near Hamburg, Germany. I was very moved by the photographs inside the memorial, heartbroken by the letters written to...

Pros: Realistic, wonderful performances by all, uplifting
Cons: None

Schindler's List chronicles the life and exploits of Oskar Schindler, a Nazi black marketeer, hustler and womanizer. Greedy, rich, and self-indulged Oskar Schindler finds himself hiring Jewish workers for his factory. The labor is cheap and he can turn...

Pros: Moving,powerful,nicely acted
Cons: Unnecessary sex, unnecessarily manipulative filmatic techniques

This may well be Spielberg's best film, and it succeeds on many levels, though a masterpiece it is not. Depicting the horrors of the Nazi holocaust in vivid detail, the film does well in presenting an authentic eastern european perspective of the terror...

Pros: Incredibly powerful story, terrific instrumental music, and wonderful acting!
Cons: None.

Movies that portray actual events that have happened in our history are the most valuable to our society, primarily because they leave an indentation and a memory in our minds that will be with us always. A movie such as Schindler's List is one of...

Pros: Strong performances. Mature direction from Spielberg.
Cons: Epilogue is a little manipulative/

'Schindler's List' is an accessible yet unflinching film about the Holocaust, that is by turn thrilling, appalling, compassionate, deeply upsetting, authorative, and finally uplifting.

Spielberg left the project until he felt he was mature...
