A film főhőse, Oskar Schindler született üzletember és szerencsejátékos. A második világháború legelején elkerül a megszállt Lengyelországba és azonnal megérzi, milyen hatalmas üzleti lehetőségek nyílhatnak meg előtte. Baráti kapcsolatok és némi ügyeskedés révén megszerez magának egy gyárat - a Deutsche Emailware Fabrikot - és nem győz eleget tenni a beözönlő megrendeléseknek. Könyvelője, Itzhak Stern rábeszéli arra, hogy minél nagyobb számban foglalkoztasson zsidókat, így nemcsak olcsó munkaerőt talál magának, hanem segíthet a koncentrációs táborokban szenvedő embereken. A gyár hamarosan a zsidók egyetlen menedéke lesz. 1944-ben a nácik az Endlösung, azaz a zsidókérdés végső megoldása jegyében bezáratják a helybéli táborokat, és a rabokat Auschwitzba és Treblinkába, vagyis a biztos halálba akarják küldeni.

Someone once described Schindler's List as the building block of Holocaust film history. Its influence confirms this, of course. Nicky's Family is not the only project that has taken inspiration from it almost literally, as Steven Spielberg simply chose to speak a universal language for academics and ordinary people alike.

Mit is írhatnék róla, ha nem akarom csak úgy szárazon felhozni az összes szuperlatívuszt, és hozzárendelni a filmkészítésének minden egyes eleméhez? Wellesnek van az Aranypolgár című filmje, Coppolának A Keresztapa I. filmje, Kubricknak az 2001: Űrodüsszeia filmje és Spielbergnek a Schindler listája című filmje. Ralph Fiennes által alakított Goethe Amon az emberi szellem hanyatlásának megtestesítője, aki történelmünk legnagyobb tragédiájáért felelős. John Williams filmzenéje a kortárs filmzene csúcsa, Janusz Kaminski operatőr a bálványom - mint a fekete-fehér kompozíció imádója számára -, a krakkói gettó kiirtása pedig az egyik legborzalmasabb jelenet, amit valaha filmvásznon láttam. Steven Spielberg ezzel a filmmel teljesítette azt a küldetést, amiért rendező lett. Én pedig legszívesebben bekeretezném minden egyes felvételét, és azt kívánnám, bárcsak visszaforgathatnám az időt, és megakadályozhatnám mindazt, amiről szól.

For this masterpiece, Spielberg has my boundless respect. And the fact that he literally force-fed it to Universal increases my respect for him. One of the greatest films of all time, a film that alarms, awes, shocks and moves...

When Steven Spielberg puts forward his most fundamental mental dilemma alongside his opinions and beliefs, nothing can arise but the strongest and extra tasty cinematic coffee and his intellectual peak. While Schindler's transformation from an ordinary citizen to an unstoppable advocate for all neighbors gains intensity perhaps a bit inconspicuously, during the grand scenes and perfectly credible streams of thoughts from the mouths of the main characters, it becomes all the more emphatic. A truly unique and irreplicable work in its own way, in every aspect.

I consider Steven Spielberg to be one of the best storytellers in the world of film, regardless of how many stars I give to Schindler's List. He is an excellent craftsman and storyteller. Some voices in the community of film fans sometimes argue that he is too commercial and that they only take Schindler's List or Saving Private Ryan seriously from his work. I have the exact opposite feeling. Spielberg has always told fairy tales, whether for children or adults, and they are perfectly suited for relaxation and genre projects. Sci-fi, adventure stories, or fantasy from his workshop are usually treats. It's worse when he tries to enter the realm of high art and wants to do timeless, more serious work. Spielberg still uses similar or identical means as in his relaxation projects. In Schindler's List, several quite serious things bother me. First, the whole story is based on an artificially created myth, and even though its core is true, it ultimately sounds like Radio Yerevan reports. The facts are upside down here. Oskar Schindler was an adventurer, a Nazi not out of conviction but based on hard calculation, a manipulator, and a ruthless exploiter. Much negative can be said about him, and it would be much more accurate to despise and condemn him rather than admire him. Historical films usually approach the interpretation of historical facts languidly and only take from them what they need to achieve their goal or a partial effect. And usually, if it concerns distant history, viewers don't mind – except for historians and fans of historical science. But here it is so striking and concerns such a sensitive topic that it fundamentally bothers me. Schindler's real role has already been mapped by historians and completely contradicts everything Spielberg portrays in his film. In the labor camp, prisoners were mainly selected from the ranks of the Jewish police, collaborators, or those who had to pay. The conditions in the camp were very harsh, and its only advantage was that it was not systematically exterminationist, meaning that there were no gas chambers. Schindler was completely indifferent to the prisoners, and all he cared about was how to monetize their slave labor. By the way, neither Oskar Schindler nor anyone else saved any human lives. For those who were taken to the Protectorate, other prisoners had to be selected for liquidation… Another problem is Spielberg's typical squeezing of emotions, where possible, emotional manipulation, moving, blackmailing, and behaving like a typical blockbuster producer. Despite all this, he managed to convey the horrors of the Holocaust to the widest audience at a time when many decades had passed since the events and eyewitnesses were dying out, which is not insignificant. At the very least, the scene of the ghetto liquidation belongs among the memorable film moments. Overall impression: 60%.

It took me years to get around to seeing Schindler’s List and it was really worth watching. Spielberg’s work was certainly no letdown and was a ultra authentic flashback to the events that made the Second World War the most horrific ever.

Spielberg's sensitive precision, Williams's music, Kaminsky's cinematography, Neeson's eyes, Fiennes's villain, Kingsley's everything, the little girl in the red dress walking through the black and white film... An unforgettable story. PS: Finally seen in the cinema on the occasion of the 25th anniversary. Indescribable experience.

If there is one single example of a film that is both excellent and thematically important, it is Schindler's List. Where else could you feel the indescribable horror and shame of the human deeds you have just seen, photographed in the most horrifying but at the same time most beautiful black and white composition imaginable? The scene with the little girl in the red coat, walking as a symbol of colourful innocence through pure hell, is probably the most powerful I have ever seen in a film, and it brings tears to my eyes every time; and even if it was the only one in the whole movie, I'd still never get this film out of my head – but it's not, not even close. Masterpiece.

The right-wing view of the Holocaust is not something I agree with, but at the very least it's refreshing to be able to deal with it these days. Schindler's List could easily be read as a defense of capitalism, whose values are "supra-ideal" and pragmatic, making it incapable of the irrational evil that the Holocaust is generally considered to be (which is conveniently myopic, of course, since every young child knows about its economic motivations). Equally, it can be read as advocacy of a trickle-down economy, whereby a wealthy factory worker develops a relationship with his employees, tries to keep them, and gradually sees them as human beings whom he can use his abilities to save. That makes this film have far more problematic levels than the 100 times rehashed closing sentiment (as awful as it is). However, Spielberg and Kaminski (whose creative input here I tend to place higher than the director's; after all, look at what kind of cinematic leap this is from Jurassic Park or Hook) have managed to translate the methodical chaos of the Holocaust to the screen perfectly in several scenes here, creating the illusion of a documentary and a surreal nightmare at the same time, as the situation must have had on many in retrospect. Nemes's Son of Saul is a few paces farther ahead in this, but I think it stands on the foundation of what Schindler's List built in certain places.

Definitely one of the best films Steven Spielberg ever made. It's a powerful story, which is also told quite brutally at times, which might be surprising, even coming from Spielberg, or at least it was surprising in 1993. Great performances by the cast, which even the classic Spielberg pathos, though very subdued, does not ruin.

I am sure I will only repeat what has been said many times about this immortal work of Steven Spielberg. For me, the film is actually perfect in every way. When strong emotions come, they do so without the need for manipulation, though of course it’s clear that given the subject matter, Spielberg had it easier in this respect at least – there is simply no emotional manipulation here either, we are "merely" being provided with the facts and it is up to each viewer how they can absorb these ancient facts or how the film ultimately affects them (how emotionally). In making Schindler's List, Steven Spielberg not only fulfilled his duty to the Jewish population, but also his duty to the entire world in ensuring that all generations of all nations are educated and informed about what man was capable of in the 1940s – both the most monstrous and the most noble. I waged an internal battle with the character of Oskar Schindler (the phenomenal Liam Neeson) for most of the film, and couldn't quite pin down his character or discern his intentions up until a certain point. The very respectable running time, in which there is not a single dead spot, gives a great amount of space to identify with the characters, their fates, and the fate they had to involuntarily accept. It's hard to say what Schindler's List would have been without Spielberg's evocative direction, likewise what it would have been without Zaillian's excellent screenplay, Williams' perfectly pitched soundtrack, or Janusz Kamiński's flawless cinematography. And did you notice that throughout the entire film, not once does the word "leader" appear in any language?
