Schindler's List (1993) *****
Schindler’s List (1993) is a film that truly makes one reflect on the idea of commodity—the value of human life versus the value of material and profit—and on the nature of power and how it corrupts. It’s a motion picture filled with fear, desperation, humiliation, humility, atrocity, and empathy. It presents its charming yet imposing central figure (the enigmatic Liam Neeson) as flawed yet realistic—a womanizer, a shrewd businessman, and, eventually, a reluctant hero. Steven Spielberg's film remains an exhausting, unflinching, haunting emotional tour de force, and serves as a reminder of both the tremendous good and evil that human beings are capable of.
