It’s been years since I first watched Schindler’s List and now, having the opportunity to watch it again, I gave it another go and one can never make a mistake in saying that this film is great and life-changing. I was only 16 when I originally saw this movie and I have to say that it changed my perception of what a good movie is.
Schindler’s List is a film about heroism with an unlikely hero at its center - Catholic war profiteer Oskar Schindler starred by Liam Neeson, who risked his life and went bankrupt to save more than 1,000 Jews from certain death in concentration camps back in World War II Germany. Mr. Schindler or “Head Direktor” as his Jewish employees call him started out with very little money and a great idea in mind. He wanted to make money but ended up making more than what he first envisioned. He wasn’t a model person but ended up being declared as a righteous man by the Jews. He thought of only himself at start but eventually learned to think about others - hundreds of them.
More than the good film and the perfect story, I would say that the best part in Schindler’s List is that it touched my life. It may made start thinking more than just myself. It shows a world where “others” exist and gave me a sense of responsibility in every action that I do.
Schindler’s List is the perfect drama I’ve watched so far. If you don’t have a copy of this film, I would strongly recommend that you get one.
