Dad's Full (Spoiler) Review
and Deep Dive of Schindler's List
"They came with nothing.
Nothing. And they flourished. For six centuries there has been a
Jewish Krakow. Think about that.
By this evening those six
centuries are a rumor. They never happened. Today is history." –
SS 2nd LT Amon Göth
Why watch this?
... to remember, and not let it happen again - EVER on this
Earth.
Plot Summary:
During World War II in German-occupied Poland, a German
industrialist named Oskar Schindler arrives in Kraków seeking to
make his fortune amidst the war's chaos. Initially driven by
profit, he establishes a factory employing Jewish workers,
seeing them as a source of cheap labor. As the Nazi regime
intensifies its persecution of Jews, Schindler is confronted
with the atrocities of the Holocaust and undergoes a profound
moral transformation.

Dad's Preview:
How do you tell a story so horrible it defies belief? - As
honestly as you can. Many films have referenced the Holocaust,
using it as a backdrop. However, no film more directly
confronts humanity's most devastating chapter than this
dark, necessary effort. It recounts fascist Germany's creation of the Płaszów
concentration camp during World War II. The Jews sent there
endured total upheaval, horrible prison conditions and merciless
torture and murder by Nazi camp officials. It was horrific. Director
Steven Spielberg, himself a Jew, has stated that he had to commit this story to film.
His
his effort is a masterpiece regarding both humanity's depravity and
its
courageous spirit. |
