Schindler's List! This magnificent masterpiece, directed by Steven Spielberg, tells of the plight and suffering of the Jews during World War Two, and how ONE man made a difference.Oskar Schindler is a businessman and a member of the Nazi Party. At the start of the film Schindler is stuck up and selfish, but as time goes on he realises that HE can do something to help the Jews.At the beginning of the War Schindler sets up his company 'D.E.F'. Jewish businessmen buy it before all Jews are moved into ghettos (March 20. 1941). Schindler gets himself a Jewish accountant - Stern and he gets Stern to select a workforce for his factory. Schindler employs Jews because they are the cheapest to employ.After the Jews have been put into ghettos many are sent to forced labour camps. Stern forgets his work card one-day and he is put on a train to one of these camps, Schindler gets there just in time. It could be said that Stern is the first Jew that Schindler saves.All the Jews luggage was categorised and the Nazi's even got Jews to separate it. This scene needs no words, it just shows all the piles of the Jews possessions and music is playing.The Jews are glad of the security of the ghettos; they don't realise that Goeth is about to a
Although Schindler is beginning to turn over a new leaf, he is still a womaniser! He won't help a woman because she isn't pretty enough but when she returns and she is dressed up and she had make- up on he will help her. Schindler is then offered a 'sub-camp'. This is where the film starts to get into the mind of the psycho Nazi. The film also shows harrowing scenes where Jews are digging their own graves! The worst scenes of all are when there is a massive bonfire and the Nazi's are putting the Jews dead bodies on it, they are laughing and seem to be enjoying it! The music is haunting choir music. Schindler convinces Goeth to let him have the Jews, he arrives with briefcases full of money and he and Stern draw up the list. Another scene where no words are needed is when it looks as if it is snowing; it is in fact human ash. Children are walking to the gas chambers and they are just starring at the chimney, which is billowing out human ash - there is just music playing. When Schindler gets to his factory he looks like Moses, he is leading the women and children, again there is just music playing. All the Jews are walking across a field (towards us). Schindler starts to bribe the Nazi's so that he can get his workforce back. The boy leaves the villa, we see Goeth shooting but we don't actually see him shooting the boy but the camera sweeps the camp and we see the corpse of the boy on the floor. Schindler goes to get the women and children. As the Jews are walking they turn into colour; these are the actual Schindler Jews today.
