A Breathtaking Motion Picture Experience

 SCHINDLER'S LIST


Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall.
Director Steven Spielberg`s Schindler`s List is an epic masterpiece which portrays an effective picture of the situations arising before and after the Holocaust. It is a profound three hour long movie which is unsparing, shocking and yet factual, very much faithful to the incident which took place during World War II. The movie stars Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler a Nazi businessman who saves 1200 Jews by employing them in his factory DFF(Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik). Ben Kinsley starts as Itzhak Stern, a jewish accountant whom Schindler contacts in order to arrange financial matters. The slow uprising of the factory was disrupted by an SS officer Amon Goth starred by Ralph Fiennes who starts the mass killing and murdering of the Jews. Spielberg with his Jewish background has given his best to bring the best in actors. Liam Neeson portrays beautifully his character as the complex yet the kind and life saving businessman. Ben Kinsley acts with simplicity like his character and Ralph Fiennes as the fierce power hungry Nazi officer will be long remembered. Janusz Kaminski, Director of Photography has effectively made use of shadow and light according to Spielberg`s choice to create a point and impression. He made some scenes in colour like the girl in red coat. Despite its ghastly subject matter it also shows a ray of hope at the end portraying hatred and greed but also love and empathy and touches us deeply to become a spectacular motion picture experience.
