Review – Schindler’s List

Steven Spielberg sends a clear message to the world: “Don’t you dare not give me an Oscar this time.” In Big Steve’s defense, this actually is a fairly good movie. The black and white is a little pretentious, and if it were possible to over-dramatize the Holocaust this movie would certainly be in the running to do it. The movie’s running time is so immense that it actually took two DVDs to get it all in. And I guess it goes without saying that any story in which potential victims are rescued from the Final Solution is going to almost automatically win the Anne Frank Only with a Happy Ending Award as well. All that notwithstanding, the bittersweet tale of the Schindler Jews makes for a fine movie. Worth seeing
