What can be said that hasn’t already been said about Schindler’s List? Pretty much nothing. I can write about my experience with the film. When I first saw it back in 1993 it didn’t really affect me that much. I was a teenager and going through my own baloney teenage stuff but was always a big movie lover. Steven Spielberg was then and is now; my favorite film maker so would see all of his films. I still do, if he ever comes out with another one lol. Anyway, I saw the movie and thought it was good, amazing actually but all the atrocities and horrors in the movie didn’t really get to me. I’m not sure if I was watching a lot of graphically violent films at the time or if I was just emotionally cut off, being a teen and all, but I didn’t have the emotional response that most did. Cut to about 2 years later, I watched it again…and it destroyed me. I literally broke down and cried multiple times during that film and the end when SPOILER ALERT Oscar Schindler starts talking about not doing enough and taking off his watch and ring and that they would be worth 2 or more people he could have saved, to me is one of the most emotional scenes in any movie ever made. END SPOILER This movie, along with Saving Private Ryan and The Impossible, I need to prepare myself to watch because it brings so much emotion out of me that I need to have time afterward to get myself together. This is required viewing for anyone who is a fan of cinema and anyone who just loves amazing performances. One of the greatest movies ever made.

So I'm not going to go over the plot because you can already read about that. What I will talk about is the tone. The tone of the movie is just a little off. It has this positive kind of cheesy tone throughout the movie that feels just a bit off. It is a family film and I get having to appeal to the kids but I felt it tried too hard to reach the child audience and not the adults who would bring the children to the movie. That being said, it wasn’t a bad movie, just kind of vanilla. There is some fun to be had and if you are in the mood for something fun and wholesome.
