Schindler’s List
Schindler’s List is a highly acclaimed war-movie directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Liam Neeson as Schindler, and Ben Kingsley as Schindler’s accountant Itzhak Stern. The movie vividly portrays the trails and travails suffered by the countless number of Jews at the hands of the Nazi’s.
Schindler’s List is about the story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saved the lives of over one thousand Polish Jews during the Holocaust of Second World War. Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), an unsuccessful businessman, bribes the members of the Nazy party to get the cheap Jewish labor. Later he gains access to Jewish community through Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley), a brilliant accountant and a member of the Jewish Council who helps him to set up the factory and arrange for Jewish labor.
Workers in Schindler’s factory are called “essential” workers, and Stern fabricate documents to ensure that as many people as possible are made “essential” by the Nazi bureaucracy, which saves them from being transported to concentration camps, or even death.
“Schindler’s List” is the list of these “skilled” inmates and for many of those in the camp, being included means the difference between life and death.
Though the film is primarily shot in black and white, red was used to distinguish a little girl in a coat. Later in the film, she is shown as dead. The scene when this little girl in red is pushed on a little cart, dead, heaped among countless dead Jews of the camp makes one wonder, who’s the director? Black and white creates a timeless image and distinguishes the movie from the rest of the crowd.
Schindler’s List won seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director
