I came close to tears after my third complete viewing of Schindler’s List. This my
most favourite movie of all time.
The
beauty of this film arises from the unique and memorable characters that we are exposed to. We become acquainted with most of them for a very brief period of time but the complex nature of their
interactions and humanity under dire circumstances resonates with our own humanity.
Steven Spielberg retells this tale of the holocaust without relying too much on shock value; he strikes a fine balance between humanity and tragedy in such a time. This delicate balance (with respect to the subject matter) is achieved so well, that one is rewarded with a well deserved catharsis at the end of three hours.a.

I could go on for hours about Schindler’s list, but I think I
would rather let the film speak for itself.
I recommend this film to anyone who has even a tinkling of an interest in the holocaust. I consider it valuable historical material (albeit not entirely accurate) alongside books like Man’s Search for Meaning-by Viktor Frankl.
