This is the supreme work on Nazism and all the horrors of that era. The story is well known, but what attracts us is its staging in black and white -which serves to enhance its emotionality- sensitive music and pain-filled figures
In a few words, we will see the path of a skilled man who sees war as an opportunity for enrichment: Oskar Schindler. A German industrialist, interesting, with charm and a very sharp mind, who attracts the highest Nazi leaders on his side, to be left alone and run a business as he wishes.
Taking as an assistant an excellent accountant and director Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingley) plus the use of Jews as workers, for Schindler, war is an opportunity: The ability to make money buying friends.

Another tasty character (much more bitter, but equally intriguing) is Amon Goeth (the exceptional Ralph Fiennes), sent by Hitler to clean the ghettos and open the camp. A handsome man, with crazy eyes and schizoid gestures, an insane alcoholic, who transforms crime into a pleasure that satisfies every day. The perfect moment for his description is after a passionate night with his lover, when he sits on the balcony and starts shooting prisoners from above, as if he were practicing a noble sport in which he is extremely skilled.

Schindler’s List is a brilliant film, with a strong humanistic message, with great acting, it is a pleasure to see the game between Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes, in which he created one of the most powerful demonic images of a Nazi criminal.
The film has wonderful music, from beginning to end, creating a viscous atmosphere of hopelessness and loss of the meaning of life.
