Amazing. Blunt. Brutal. Heartbreaking.
Schindler’s List pulls no punches in the portrayal of humans viewed as animals and those that massacred them. It’s absolutely horrifying – exactly as it should be. There was no glory of arms in this story, only humanity at its worst.
What really got me wasn’t the shock normally that comes with the heavy use of violence or nudity or cruelty – it’s the actors playing the Germans. Their expressions, the red hot hate or cold indifference in their eyes – that is what turns this movie from a gorefest into something chillingly magnificent. Those actors, near every one of them, deserve recognition for providing such horrible honesty.
Ralph Fiennes is a genius. So cold, so calculating, so caught up in his hate. An unforgettable sequence is when Schindler makes him think about power being when not to kill, even though he has every right to. After killing 25 people around an escapee he lets the stable boy and the prisoner slacking off work live – when you expect he would kill them without a second thought. He then lets a boy leave unharmed after screwing up his bath tub. As the boy leaves, he turns to the mirror and looks into his own eyes. He looks inside himself and just as you think he’s human, perhaps he can be salvaged or redeemed, his eyes go arctic cold and he walks out and shoots the boy. Brilliantly acted.
Liam Neeson – his greed turned to mercy character (despite his best efforts) is so well done. He’s not quite on the Ralph Fiennes level, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen at the change in his character. As he starts actively helping, but maintaining the Nazi fascade, he is gripping to watch. My favourite scene with him in it is right at the end where he realises that every little piece of wealth he held on to – for whatever reason he held on to it – was another life he couldn’t pay to save.
Ben Kingsley played such a great secondary character, his business torn from him, his humanity clutched like the edge of a cliff. His friendship at the end and his survival is a touching piece of story-telling. I fully expected to lose him when he forgets his ticket and is about to be carted off to Auschwitz, but it provides one of the first very well hidden moments for Neeson’s character’s change in outlook as he saves the day. That scene, now that I think about it, also provides a direct starting point for his character turn around: where at first he saves just one life, but at the end he saves many.
The ending is heartbreaking not just from a story point of view, but when you find out that this is based on a true story. Oskar Schindler saved 1100 people, whose future generations numbered over 6,000 at the time the movie was made. Though he failed in many things in life – businesses, marriage, supporting himself in later life – he achieved so much more than most of us ever will. He is one of the best examples that you don’t need to be a golden boy to be a hero.
Overall, Schindler’s List is brilliantly shot with little splashes of worn colour against the black and white, solidly casted, and wonderfully told.
Scindler’s List has been on my ‘to-watch’ for a really long time. We sat down and watched it a couple of weeks ago and it rocketed straight to my top three movies of all time. I must have sat there for ten minutes after the movie, jaw agape, just processing what I’d seen.
I give it five Grimdark Lords out of five.
