I honestly don’t know how to review this movie; everything that could be said has been said. I have nothing new to add nor take away.
So, I’ll just express my feelings I had after watching this masterpiece.
I watched Schindler’s List a few years after it came out, and some studio executive thought it would be festive to show the movie on television during the Easter weekend. I’m not kidding…Easter weekend.

After watching it the first time, I swore I would never watch it again. I had a real love-hate relationship with this movie. I loved that there were such good people living on planet Earth. There have been many Oskar Schindlers, who have seemingly popped out of nowhere, only to so something magnificent for the human race. Like Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela, the Dali Lama, and Princess Diana, to name a few.
The ‘hate’ part of the relationship, of course, is seeing pure evil, not just in the form of Hitler, but so many other megalomaniacs who dared to impose their will on the rest of the world.
Have we learned anything from these events? Probably not. There are holocausts taking place right now in various hot spots all over the world. Just look at the mess in Syria.
After writing my quiz on Oskar Schindler, I felt that I needed to know more about this man. So it was back to Netflix to rewatch the movie. I now realize that this movie was not about the Hitler Regime, but about the microcosm of Oskar Schindler’s world during the war.
It would be tough to chose the best movie between Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan. One was from the view of the Holocaust victims, and the other was from the view of our boys sent over to help free those victims. Basically it’s the same movie, just a few years apart.
Grade: A+
About The Peetimes: This being a 3 hour movie, I felt that 5 Peetimes were in order. It was not a challenge to get 5, since there were some protracted scenes that could be easily summed up in the synopsis. Some of these are also Alert Peetimes for sensitive viewers.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Schindler’s List. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)
