Date Night: “Schindler’s List”

It’s the ninth best movie of all time, according to the American Film Institute, and the winner of an astounding 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, even though Director Steven Spielberg risked his modern audience by shooting “Schindler’s List” mostly in black and white.

Oskar Schindler is a vainglorious and greedy German businessman who becomes an unlikely humanitarian amid the barbaric German Nazi reign when he feels compelled to turn his factory into a refuge for Jews. Based on the true story of Oskar Schindler who managed to save about 1100 Jews from being gassed at the Auschwitz concentration camp, it is a testament to the good in all of us.

Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes won Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor Oscars respectively.

“Schindler’s List” is being re-released now on its 25th anniversary because Director Steven Spielberg believes, his favorite movie is more relevant now than ever.  “I think there’s more at stake today than even back then,” he said recently.
