  • Summary

  • "Schindler's List" is a deeply moving and emotional film directed by Steven Spielberg, set against the backdrop of the Holocaust. The film tells the true story of Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist and member of the Nazi party, who initially sought to profit from the war but eventually ended up saving the lives of over 1,000 Jews. Utilizing his factories, Schindler becomes an unlikely humanitarian, exploiting his wartime wealth and influence to shield his Jewish workers from the holocaust. As the brutalities of the Nazi regime become increasingly evident, Schindler takes more risks to protect his employees from the atrocities. The film's black-and-white photography adds somber realism, punctuated by instances of red to signify hope amid despair, most notably seen in the scene with a little girl in a red coat. Powerful performances by Liam Neeson as Schindler and Ralph Fiennes as sadistic SS officer Amon Goeth further enhance the film's impact. The conclusion sees Schindler saving his workforce from death in Auschwitz, although he wishes he could have saved more. A heartrending record of human courage in the face of unimaginable cruelty, "Schindler's List" underlines the importance of standing against injustice. It remains a hallmark of film history for its riveting narrative, unforgettable characters and Spielberg’s remarkable storytelling.
