Schindler's List

This Movie tells the true story of how things were in Nazi Germany during the war years (1939-1945). It tells about the harsh reality of the Jewish people under the control of the Nazi Authorities, and how a German Business man concocted a plan that would lead to him being able to save the lives of hundreds of his fellow human beings who happened to be Jewish. It shows that even when there is great evil in control, that there is still humanity, and Love in this world, despite the existence of evil. Any one who thinks that Hitler, and the Nazis were not really all that bad need to watch this film. This film tells the true, and horrifying realities of the Holocaust. The film is well made with very good acting, and true to life images. The terrifying reality of Nazi Germany must not be forgotten.

This film is one of the most powerful movies ever made. The story, acting, and direction are absolutely incredible — emotional, haunting, and unforgettable. The DVD quality is solid, and the sound and picture hold up well even after all these years. It’s not an easy watch, but it’s an important one. A must-have for any serious film collection.

I saw this film in Seattle at an old 1930's era theater one rainy afternoon in the summer of 1994 with my wife. We were looking forward to a nice early dinner afterwards. Even though I've read about the Holocaust and seen the atrocities in various documentaries we both were in a state of disbelief and horror afterwards. Spielberg added more stories on top of the one most people expected. It's a classic, but now I'm almost afraid to watch it again.

An incredibly moving true story from director Steven Spielberg, Schindler's List tells the story of Oscar Schindler, a businessman who saved 1100 people from the Nazi death camps during World War II. Schindler came to Berlin with nothing, built a thriving manufacturing business and made a fortune off the backs of Jewish slave laborers, then, surprisingly, wound up spending that entire fortune saving those same factory workers from certain death under the Nazi's rule. He befriended powerful Nazis, building cache he could call in for favors whenever needed to save lives. Those Nazis he couldn't call on for favors, he bribed. Schindler even opened his own privately owned concentration camp far from Germany and as far from prying Nazi eyes as he could get. He transported all his Jewish workers there at a great cost to himself and once there, he informed the guards in his camp that if they harmed any of his workers they'd wind up in jail. He even went as far as banning the guards from entering the factory where the Jewish workers were housed--giving them one place where they could feel truly safe. He kept these 1100 men, women and children safe from harm throughout the rest of the war, always aware that if what he was really doing was ever discovered by the Nazi high command, his life would be forfeit. From the script, to the actors, to the production itself, Spielberg has never made a better, more honestly told film than this incredibly moving masterpiece. I knew someone who had actually been imprisoned in the camp where a good portion of the film's action takes place. Within days of being granted his freedom he returned with a camera to photograph everything for the sake of future history. He was a very old man when I met him but he lived long enough to see this film come out and praised it immensely for it's realism. After seeing it, he showed me some stills from the movie and then showed me his own photos to compare them with. I was utterly astounded by how incredibly detailed and accurate the sets in the movie were constructed. I must admit that I really gained an awed appreciation for just how far the filmmakers went to get everything so absolutely right in this production. This is a movie that will touch your heart and stick with you long after the credits have rolled. Mr. Spielberg has truly outdone himself making this powerful and moving story while many of those who actually lived it were still alive to advise him on the set and help him portray these events with the utmost accuracy. More than a magnificently told history lesson, Schindler's List is nothing short of a masterpiece of American cinema. Thank you Mr. Spielberg for telling this story and for making this incredible film. We owe you a debt of gratitude. On a technical note: The 4K Blu-ray presentation of this magnificent film is truly spectacular. Although primarily presented in black and white, the additional detail visible and the improvement made by the addition of HDR make this a notable step up from the HD Blu-ray. Worth the additional cost of the 4K Blu-ray in every possible way. A magnificent film presented magnificently well.

There's nothing I can say that has not already been said; it's one of the greatest movies ever made. This was a copy without a lot of extras at a good price, that's why I bought it. You can't go wrong with the film itself.

Great film

Attempted to play this for first time today. Caption on screen states: 'Playback prohibited by area limitation'. There was no information on a possible problem when I ordered it through Amazon. Am now informed that I cannot get a refund since this has time elapsed. Is there any remedy and have others experienced this?
