Considered to be one of the greatest movie adaptations of all time, not only because of its truthfulness, but its splendor, Schindler's List is the masterpiece feature film that tells us the history of Oskar Schindler, the German entrepreneur, born in Austria Hungary that saved the life of 1200 known Jews during the 2nd World War, when concealing them in his factory as workers, and making them stay alive. The movie experiences not only his history and redemption path, from being a selfish and narcissistic man into becoming a kind and courteous person; but also how harsh was that moment for the Jewish Community, and how they suffered so many things. The story, directed and written by the well known director Steven Spielberg and the screenwriter Steven Zaillian , owns an outstanding cast, formed by Liam Neeson in the role of Oskar Schindler, Ralph Fiennes performing the Nazi Officer, Amon Goeth, and Sir Ben Kingsley in the role of Itzhak Stern, the Jew accountant that helped Mr. Schindler. The only way to describe the main sensation gained with the display of the movie is heart breaking. It makes you feel how horrific it was, and it makes you cry, though in a special way, not as a regular movie. Because you know that everything that you are watching happened, and there is no way back for that. Millions of innocents passed away, and that won't change. The story ends itself as a tribute to all this people, the fallen that shouldn't have fallen. It is remarkable the Black and White Color Style used in all the scenes, that plays with perspectives and shadows, making us feel very differently depending on how the light effect is applied. All with the exception of the Girl with the Red Coat, that in my opinion represents how innocent children are, doesn't matter with race do they belong to, or in which situation they are in. Schindler understands this, and he sees how cruel and inhumane is what he is witnessing. None country wins anything, or any race. The War takes it all. In short, it is the greatest film that features the effects of the Holocaust, and shows how even when there was hope for many, many others didn't have that chance. So is it a sad or hopeful movie? None of them. It is a real one. The tints do not only exist in the pictures, but in history, and in our world. That is what Schindler's List is. Reality. The harsh reality.
