Introduction

Based on a true story, Schindler's List was produced by Steven Spielberg with Liam Neeson as the lead( Oskar Schindler) a German businessman in Poland seeks the opportunity to make a great amount of money from the rise of the Nazi party. Using flattery and bribes to win military contracts, and by bringing in an accountant and financier, Itzhak Stern, to help run the factory. The factory has a lot of the Jews that were thrown into the ghetto, working there. Then in 1942 all the Jews from the ghetto are sent to a force labor camp. . When Schindler notices how the Jews were being treated as the were made to evacuate the ghetto, he begin to see the Jews as what they are PEOPLE. The Labor Camp is run by Amon Goeth (alcoholic Commandant that shoots some of the prisoners from his balcony whenever he pleases). That is when he realizes that his factory is the reason why his Jews were still alive, he demanded more workers and bribes and buys 1,200 Jews to keep them out of the concentration camps and alive, ( he uses all of his fortune) when the Nazi party fell to the Allies.

A historical movie about the horrific events of the War World II Holocaust. The movie mainly focuses on how Oskar Schindler a businessman in Poland took the advantages of the Nazi party's rise to power. Schindler was a money hungry man who only looked after himself. He spent a lot of money bribing high position officers to get whatever he wanted. During the time of the Nazi power he had a lot of the Jews that are in the ghettos working at his factory making cookware and utensils for the German army. For the Jews it saves them from the gas chambers and death, but for Oskar Schindler it means money and wealth. The movie allows us to get an idea of the conditions that the Jews were in while they were forced in to the ghettos and after the were forced to go into labor camps. And Of course, it shows a true act of bravery by a single man.

Social

The only people with any status are the German Nazi soldiers. All Jews were reduced to nothing more than dirt. The Nazis and other Germans confiscated the Jews land, money, business, houses, and anything the Jews own.

Music was a part of Schindler's List. When the soldiers are killing everyone who hid in the ghetto at night, one of them starts playing the piano. This just shows how inhumane the Germans are, and how little the death of the Jews meant to them. Is it Bach?

The point of view in the movie also changes, as the audience gets to see what Oskar saw that day.

The second thing that was in color was the candle light that the Rabbi was using when Schindler bought the 1200 Jews to work for him. The candle symbolize hope. It burned strong and bright. Of course the war was near the end with so many people dead and dying that burning candle was of burning hope and life. There are those that never got to see its end.

Critics

Washington Post

Rita Kempley

60 A ruthlessly unsentimental portrait of a German war profiteer's epiphany that inspires neither sorrow nor pity, but a kind of emotional numbness.

Chicago Tribune

Gene Siskel

100 What is surprising is how well Spielberg captures the horror, moving his camera with the fury of a combat photographer on the run. [17 Dec 1993]

Chicago Sun-Times

Roger Ebert

100 What is most amazing about this film is how completely Spielberg serves his story. The movie is brilliantly acted, written, directed and seen. Individual scenes are masterpieces of art direction, cinematography, special effects, crowd control.

This movie was based on a truth story, but no matter how many times that is said, the ending of this movie captures its REALITY.

"This list... is an absolute good. The list is life. All around its margins lies the gulf. "-Itzhak Stern

Candle of Hope

Symbolism 1

There are two major symbols in the movie that kind of fore told what will happen. The most famous one is the little girl in the red dress. the little girl in the red dress only makes two appearances in the entire movie but has a great impact on the everything. This little girl is the catalyst (so to speak) that causes the change in Shindler. The entire movie is in black and white but the dress that the little girl is wearing is red, one of the two things that are in color. The REAL Schindler mentions actually seeing a little girl in red, so oblivious and innocent, in his autobiography.
