Imma go off and say that I am truly ashamed of myself for rating this masterpiece so low the first time I watched this. Schindler's List in no way deserves a 6! I remember wanting to give it a 5 out of 10 when reviewing this. I had said I found the film dull. What the fuck? That day I put Schindler's List on, I was cooking therefore not really focused on the story of the film. I re-watched it today and I am truly amazed. Engaged in every single scene. Every single shot so beautiful; disturbing; authentic.

Schindler's List's cinematography is on point. Spielberg, whom was and still is one of Hollywood's most influential directors of all time and is known for his science fiction films, captures the brutal environment of the holocaust brilliantly. He truly demonstrates his talent, leaving the audience in awe of his ability to create a film so entirely different, completely opposite from his original or pre-shown aesthetic and work. Not to mention that the Holocaust is such a sensitive topic and Spielberg who is a part of Jewish culture did a job so well that this film he took a risk with is now actually an additional win for him.

The film's screenplay is amazing, for all of the recognition that Schindler's List has received is totally, completely deserved. The story of Oskar Schindler was portrayed extremely precise and Liam Neeson's acting is expertly done. In fact, every single actor in this film is fucking amazing! The extras are even worth watching in this film.

Directing; screenplay; production; costume design. All of these are extremely stunning. Seriously, no flaws at all! A film that demonstrates that even at the most horrid, brutal times; even around the most wicked and malicious human beings, there can still be a flash of hope and kindness for these individuals.

Masterpiece. Truly captivated this time—with a first time being unfocused by choice and then wrongly reviewing the film—I am astonished.
