The wisp of dying flames fades into the next scene, now in black and white and becomes a plume of smoke from a steam engine. A folding table is setup on the train platform where a single family registers as Jews. The single table becomes many…

Over time, he realized that what was occurring was terribly evil and had experienced a change of heart. Now known as…

The film Schindler’s list is set during WWII, and focuses on the horrible atrocities that happened to the Jews. I found it remarkable that the film was not portrayed from neither a German Nazi view, nor Jewish view. Schindler’s list shows the viewer the horror of the war and the suffering of those involved. The movie is based on Oskar Schindler’s role in saving 1.200 Jews during the war. At the start of the movie, Schindler was a member of the Nazi party and was only in Germany for one thing,…

the time Steven Spielberg got around to developing Schindler’s List, the film industry was already flooded with movies about the Holocaust. But no one had ever presented that horrifying genocide like Spielberg’s 1993 film did— for that matter, no one has since been able to reach its level of mastery. From the poignant dialogue, to the cinematographic style, to the convincing performances by both seasoned and newcomer actors and actresses, Schindler’s List is the barometer by which all other…

The Bucket List is a film that depicts two aging men who meet in the hospital and come to the conclusion that they need to make a list of everything they have always wanted to do and do them before they “kick the bucket”.

These men make a list of things and some of them do not seem like things men…

Schindler 's List (Steven Spielberg, 1993) is perhaps one of the greatest films in the late twentieth-century cinema. It encapsulates the brutality of the Holocaust as it evokes memories of atrocities of the World War II and a sense of inability to save innocent people.

According to Jeremy Maron, Schindler 's List should primarily be understood as a melodrama; a…
