Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The movie is about Oskar Schindler (played wonderfully by Liam Neeson) and his rescue of over 1100 Jews from the Nazi concentration camps of World War II!. The movie would have been easier to film if Schindler had been a perfect hero!. The fact that he wasn't and that he had flaws like everyone else, made the movie more believable and heart-wrenching!. He liked women, he was a Nazi himself and so it is ironic that he used his Nazi power to save the people that the Nazis were trying to get rid of!.



It opens with a small color scene and then it moves into black and white!. This adds a sense of reality to the film!. Schindler, who owns a factory, needs to get Jews to work in it for free!. Actually, what the Jews are getting in return is even more valuable than money!. Freedom!. He is freeing them from being destroyed!. He is so generous that people ask him to let people work in the factory so they will live!. He does so!. We only see it happen once, but I feel that it happened more often!. He has a heart but he also does it for his personal gain!. At first, he just opens the factory to gain money!. In the end, we see him spending all the money to save the Jews!. He buys the workers and ends up with a car and a gold ring at the end of the movie!.



We also get a look into other lives of World War II, such as Amon Goeth (played by Ralph Fiennes) and Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley)!. Goeth is a mean and hypocritical villian!. He chooses a Jew to be his slave and do things for him!. Soon, he finds himself in love with her!. In a shocking scene, Goeth goes out on a balcony and just shoots people at random!. His lover/slave, Helen Hirsch (Embeth Davidtz), watches in disgust!. He doesn't care either!. He is an evil man and for a moment in the film, when he lets a kid go for not being able to clean a bathtub, we see a compassionate man!. Ten seconds later, he shoots and kills the kid!. He isn't going to change and we know it!.



Itzhak Stern is a Jew chosen by Schindler to work as an accountant!. However, Stern has an effect on Schindler which is part of the reason Schindler decides to save all his workers!. We see his compassion when he rescues Stern from being shipped to a concentration camp!. Kingsley is perfect for the part and shows that he is afraid but brave enough to stand up for his beliefs!.



However, the most powerful performance is by Neeson!. He begins the movie just wanting money and women and power!. In the end, he has turned his heart to saving all the Jews that he has employed!. He does it so gradually, that we believe what we are seeing!. There haven't been many performances better and more believable this year!. The changing from a flawed Nazi to a flawed Nazi with a heart of gold is remarkably well done and should get the Oscar for best performance by an actor!.

Out of all the films of 1993, this movie is the best picture of the yearWww@QuestionHome@Com

Sure!.!.!.

It's about a guy named Schindler and before he goes to the store one day he sits down and makes a list!. He's hoping to invite a few friends over for dinner, but since this is Poland he's not sure what to make since he heard Poles don't like pizza all that much!. (Schindler is Italian!.)

So he takes his list to the store, but they are out of most everything since it's the middle of World War II!. Schindler gets kind of mad, but the store manager, who is from India, doesn't speak Italian and tells Schindler to get out of his store!.

So Schindler has to cancel his party and ends up sitting home alone eating soup!. He wads up the list and throws it away!.

The End

Good luck with your report!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Here is what I know about it: It was directed by Spielberg, it is based upon real events, it is a very emotional film that left me feeling exhausted, but satisfied, it is a movie that you should see!.

Schindler was an individual who proves that an ordinary man can do extra ordinary things!.

It is based on a true story, a German by the name of Oskar Schindler employed Jews in his warehouse and after witnessing the atrocities they suffered decided to help save them!.
Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, all did a commendable job in bringing this story to our attention!.
Great movie if you can get to see it!.
Yes people, the Holocaust did happen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The film Schindlers List, was based on the Tom Keneally book Schindlers Ark (which I think won the Booker prize)!. This book might be worth checking out for background details on the subsequent film!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
