CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I can believe it, very good film. The Nazi with the weird hair who shot the prisoners with the rifle was excellent in this film, i hated him so it was good act he did
There was not 1 bit of bad acting in the whole film.

I watched Schindler's List for the first time not that long ago. I wouldn't say it's one of the greatest films ever made, but it is indeed outstanding. Ralph Fiennes gives one of the best performances I've ever seen (even if his character is so horrible).

I do like Schindler's List; it's well-executed and despite its harsh subject, it has a sense of hope around it. Plus, awesome performances by Neeson and Fiennes. Fiennes is easily the creepiest villain I've ever seen in a movie.
However, I do prefer Polanski's The Pianist. I like the way Polanski (who survived the Polish ghetto and whose mother died in Auschwitz) shows the utter absurdity of war. It's a very surreal movie in a way that I haven't seen before. Cinematically, it's a better piece than Spielberg's, but I can see why most people prefer Schindler's List.
Spielberg actually offered Schindler's List to Polanski (among others). I can't help but wonder how Polanski would have tackled it.
It lacks ninjas. Most boring movies are boring because they have no Ninjas. It's a flaw that Hollywood strangely hasn't bothered to fix yet.
I tried to read the book when I was, like, thirteen and couldn't get through it. Maybe I should give it another go.
Did you know Keanally decided to write it after he went into a bookstore at an airport, and the owner - a surviving Schindler jew - basically dragged him into a backroom, where he had stored all sorts of related documentation? Apparently, he'd offered it to every writer who came into his shop. Keanally was the first one to bite, as it were.

ninjas, and hot women. i wonder how russ meyer woulda done it.
but seriously, "night and fog" is the most powerful film about the holocaust. and it's only half an hour long. even spiegelman's book, "maus", is better. "the pianist" was brilliant. of anything related to the holocaust, "what's-his-face's list" is probably the most boring.
i hear spielberg never paid the people he got the stories from. or something. but i heard that in a godard film...so that's probably wrong :-/

The saddest movie ever? I think so.
Also one of the greatest movies ever made and the most important.
We must never forget.
