Steven Spielberg really will be leaving a legacy behind when he dies. There is no other film maker out there like him in the world at the moment. No one makes films with as much meaning and as much passion as he does.
Schindler's list won every award going at the time, it is a film that everyone accepts to be: moving, passionate and above all else utterly brilliant. Liam Neeson stars as Schindler and this is the story of how one man saves 1100 Jews during the second world war. The performance from Neeson is absolutely world class. Normally when i watch these type of films I struggle with them and have to find many other things to do but with this one, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I didn't know what to expect in any scene. I was amazed by his performance. Recently it has become something of a custom for Neeson to be holding a gun and to at least kill one person yet in this film he didn't kill a single person.
Ben Kingsley as his accountant was superb, so much so that after a while i forgot that it was Ben Kingsley. I've never been as impressed with him in any previous role that i have seen him in as i was with him in this film.
It may be three hours long but that isn't three hours that drags on - this is three hours of possibly one of the best films ever made. I would watch this film again, I could watch it again because it didn't have me crying and wanting to vomit. It was sensitive but not completely horrific as the damaging moments were few and far between.
WOW
