Schindler's List [20th Anniversary] [3 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] [1993]

What can be said that hasn’t already been said about Schindler’s List? Pretty much nothing. I can write about my experience with the film. When I first saw it back in 1993 it didn’t really affect me that much. I was a teenager and going through my own baloney teenage stuff but was always a big movie lover. Steven Spielberg was then and is now; my favorite film maker so would see all of his films. I still do, if he ever comes out with another one lol. Anyway, I saw the movie and thought it was good, amazing actually but all the atrocities and horrors in the movie didn’t really get to me. I’m not sure if I was watching a lot of graphically violent films at the time or if I was just emotionally cut off, being a teen and all, but I didn’t have the emotional response that most did. Cut to about 2 years later, I watched it again…and it destroyed me. I literally broke down and cried multiple times during that film and the end when SPOILER ALERT Oscar Schindler starts talking about not doing enough and taking off his watch and ring and that they would be worth 2 or more people he could have saved, to me is one of the most emotional scenes in any movie ever made. END SPOILER This movie, along with Saving Private Ryan and The Impossible, I need to prepare myself to watch because it brings so much emotion out of me that I need to have time afterward to get myself together. This is required viewing for anyone who is a fan of cinema and anyone who just loves amazing performances. One of the greatest movies ever made.

We've all grown up to hear the horrors of the Holocaust full-blown. Schools devote whole units to this event. Although I do feel it's over-talked-about and over-hyped (as if this is the only human torture act in history; there have been many of those), this movie is just how we picture the Holocaust to be in our minds and is extremely well-made. The actual even aside, it's more than just that, however, it's an inspiring tale of someone who learned humanity afterall and went against something so big to save his fellow members of the human race from a cruel fate. I watched it once, and don't plan on watching it again anytime soon, but it's a great one-time movie to help us appreciate our lives and the generosity of others.

I already had this movie in b&w.but on blue ray is another thing.

While incredibly difficult to watch the horrifying realities of the Holocaust, this masterpiece is a movie that should be seen by mature students and adults for genuine understanding.

Gripping, emotional, beautifully acted and crisply shot.

This is one of those historical films that should not be missed.

I took advantage of the buy two, get one free offer to get this movie and finally see it. It is a tough movie to watch but it is a beautifully directed film that shows the horrors of the Holocaust. Liam Neeson is a great actor in this role.

Excellent movie for all ages, needs to be watched for great historical perspective to the atrocities of the holocaust
