I saw this when it first came out and was blown away by it then. To watch it again today (where have those fourteen years gone) was still amazing. Even though I knew what was happening I got so much... Read more
more out of it and have developed even more sympathy for the victims and the perpetrators of these crimes against humanity.This must rate as one of the best films ever made.
Good movie, very sad but true!I would recommend this movie to everybody.
Schindler did everything he could to save as many Jews as possible, a very good soul.
A brilliant watch. I would quite happily recommend this film to high school students to study the era and what a unstable cruel person can wield such power over others. Very very tragic we can learn from this.
Fabulous thought provoking movie, well worth watching
This is one movie you must watch in your lifetime. Everyone told me it's so long etc etc, but it's well worth the 3 hours of your life. Amazing movie, brilliant acting, amazing story (true story) and... Read more
just truly a great piece of work. Steven Spielberg's best, there's just so much emotion in the direction. Ralph Fiennes is wonderful as is Liam Neeson. Ben Kingsley is amazing as well (reminded me a lot of his acting in Gandhi). Must watch.Excellent movie. We liked it, not because of the terrorist content, but because it really does show that even back then, as now, certain collective groups of people were targeted for insane reasons driven by religion.
Really enjoyed this, despite the awful content of it and it being about such an awful war. The cinematography and technical side of it was really good. Would completely recommend if you haven't seen it.
I found this movie to be very good and informative, one mans struggle to save as any people as possible from the German war machine.
This is a fabulous movie. My partner doesn't know much about what happend to the Jews in WWII but this really opened his eyes. Its very sad, but a fabulous movie about what people will do to help each other in times when there is no humanity
Though hard to follow at times and very long, if you have the patience and the attention span this is a movie that you will enjoy if you're into serious or historical films.
