To comment on the shear weight and importance of this film would be useless. If you don't get that from watching it I can't help you. What is amazing to me about this film is how Spielberg keeps you completely enthralled with the characters. The case study of Amon Goeth (Ralph Fienes)is so deep and distrubing it amazes you how a mind can get to that state. I love how Spielberg never explains why Schindler changes from a self-absorbed, womanizing Nazi to the man he becomes. Rather he hints at the transformation with several key points in the movie such as Schindler watching the liquidation of the Ghetto, and him seeing the little girl rolling toward cremation. What sticks with me is how Spielberg, while directing a movie on the systematic murder of millions, makes you feel the importance of one human life. The violin soundtrack by John Williams and Itzak Perlman is so poigant it nearly brings tears to my eyes just hearing it.
