Speechless... A scene where names were just being said made me want to cry

This film's value lies in its visual recounting of a significant historical event. The red-coated girl and the warm candlelight in black-and-white scenes are iconic. The story’s themes were later echoed in "The Pianist", but "Schindler's List" remains an eternal classic.

As a Jewish filmmaker and one of the world’s most renowned directors, Spielberg used black-and-white imagery to disseminate the horrific crimes of the Nazis during World War II. The juxtaposition of lives saved inside Schindler's List and death outside of it is heartbreaking. Schindler sacrificed his fortune, saving 1,100 Jews, who, in turn, immortalized his legacy.

Whoever saves a life saves the whole world!

"Whoever saves a life saves the whole world!" Such a profound history, how I wish it would end early, but you never want such a classic film to end. Touched by the conscience, the deep impression will always be the touch of red in the black and white picture. In any era, no matter how dark it is, there will always be human brilliance shining. Classic films will not make people feel dull because of the lack of color. ★★★★☆

It has a very high artistic quality

It profoundly exposes the horrific crimes of the German fascist massacre of Jews and has a very high artistic quality. The thoughts and artistic expression have reached an almost insurmountable depth. It's well deserved a Oscar for what the film has achieved. Steven Spielberg won the Oscar for Best Director for the first time because of this film. For his talent, this is a belated affirmation.

Schindler's List

What impresses me is the red color in the black-and-white picture.

Light in the darkness

Based on a real story, Steven Spielberg and Liam Neeson get together to show us that goodness exists even in the most horrible circumstances of our lives.

A testimony of kindness

The tale of one of the noblest men of the time, during one of the most terrible periods in the history of the world. Definitely, a testimony of the kindness that lies in everybody’s hearts brought to us by the brilliant filmmaker Steven Spielberg.

A light within the tragedy

Steven Spielberg faces the painful scene of the Holocaust to bring us one of the most hurtful and moving stories in his filmography. A harsh movie based on one of the most terrible events that took place in history.

En el ámbito de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un empresario alemán aprovecha la circunstancias del conflicto bélico para llevar a cabo un negocio de gran envergadura que no sólo pone en movimiento grandes sumas de dinero sino que, además genera todo un proceso de control en un juego de poder en el cual la población judía resulta ser la más efectada. Con una sagacidad propia de un buen negociador, Schindler no sólo hará fortuna, sino que además, en el proceso ayudará a cientos de personas.

Que filme maravilhoso, eu assisti faz um bom tempo, o filme é repleto de cenas que emocionam, com muita sensibilidade.

La lista de Schindler (1993) es una de las películas más poderosas y conmovedoras que he visto. No solo retrata la brutalidad del Holocausto, sino también la capacidad del ser humano para cambiar, incluso en medio del horror. Oskar Schindler, interpretado por Liam Neeson, comienza como un empresario oportunista que solo busca ganar dinero durante la guerra, pero poco a poco se transforma en alguien que arriesga todo para salvar vidas. Esa evolución me pareció profundamente humana y emotiva.Lo que más me impactó fue la manera en que Steven Spielberg muestra la tragedia sin caer en el exceso. Cada escena en blanco y negro parece una herida abierta, una forma de recordarnos que la historia no debe olvidarse. La niña del abrigo rojo, en particular, me dejó una sensación de vacío y esperanza al mismo tiempo, como si simbolizara la inocencia perdida en medio del caos.La lista de Schindler me hizo reflexionar sobre lo que significa tener conciencia y empatía. En tiempos de crueldad, Schindler eligió actuar, y eso lo convirtió en un verdadero héroe. Al terminar la película, sentí un profundo respeto por las vidas salvadas y una tristeza inmensa por todas las que no pudieron serlo.
