Schindler's List is a movie that was directed by Steven Spielberg in 1993. It stars Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler, Ben Kingsley as Itzhak Stern, and Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth. Schindler's List was first a documentary novel written by Thomas Keneally's called Schindler's Ark.
Schindler's List recreates the true story of Oskar Schindler, the Czech-born southern German industrialist who risked his life to save over 1,100 of his Jewish factory workers from the death camps in Nazi-occupied Poland. Some would ask, "Why would Oskar Schindler change and help out the Jews?" Well, in the movie according to a review by Roger Ebert, Steven Spielberg does not attempt to answer the question and any answer would be too simple and an insult to the mystery of Oskar Schindler's life. But everyone has their own opinion and their own perspective to this movie. Maybe he changed because he felt sorry for the Jews and his exposure to them made him feel like their not just cheap labour but people also.
This film is a documentary-like film that depicts the past of Jews in Europe, around the Germany-Poland area. The movie starts off with Oskar Schindler standing tall and proud with his Nazi pin on his buttonhole...
