This article is slated to introduce you to an influential film that so many people still rave about to this day. This movie was the 1993 instant classic, Schindlers List. There is a lot to know about this film to fully appreciate it, and this article will give you a little bit of that paired up with a detailed plot synopsis that should give you the most prevalent information about the film.
You have to understand where this movie really comes from. It is from the tale of a German entrepreneur during the second World War. The film takes shape as this man sees an opportunity to utilize cheaper Jewish labor during the war to make him a lot of money. He later sees the nature of his actions through witnessing the fate of many of the Jewish people and decides he is going to try and save them.
You might not have known, though, that this film is directly related to the story of a real life person, Oskar Schindler. So many different movies in Hollywood claim to be based on real events, but this just means that some part of the story was relative to a real life event. This movie was the literal retelling of the circumstances surrounding Schindler, and the impact that he had on so many lives.
This vision from Steven Spielberg is not unlike his other masterful creations, which both have the power to inspire while giving the audience something that they have never seen before. For instance, apart from the Wizard of Oz no other movie has gone completely from black and white to a full (present day) color scheme. Certainly not just to demonstrate the difference in time periods anyway.
You can take a look at the tagline for this film to really see the underlying message that it was slated to convey (whoever saves one life, saves the entire world). Oskar Schindler, had saved roughly 1,100 Jewish people from the depraved acts they were going to suffer in Auschwitz, which was one of the worst and most violent concentration camps in existence at the time.
The plot centers around Schindler using Jews to start a factory in Poland in the middle of the war that was raging on. He is able to save some of them by placing them on a list of workers that were acclaimed to be too good to be destroyed by sending them off on the next train to Auschwitz. So, by keeping them on this list and through numerous bribes to Nazi officials to turn their heads (which leaves him broke), Schindler is able to save nearly 1100 Jewish men, women and children.
Oskar Schindler is portrayed very powerfully by talented actor Liam Neeson. No lead actor is superb without a couple of impressive supporting roles, and this film was no different. The impressive supporting performances came from Ben Kingsley (Itzhak Stern) and by Ralph Fiennes (Amon Goeth).
During one of the final scenes of Schindlers List, Oskar is having a rather passionate discussion with Itzhak about what he could have changed in order to save even more Jewish lives. He tried hard, but he wasted a lot of his fortunes before he knew what value it could really afford. He could have sold his car, given away his possessions and so much more in exchange for even more lives. This is an excellent depiction of how one man can truly be broken by the way that he used to be. This film is a classic on so many different lists, and if you have never seen it, you really ought to.

Also, avoid drinking yourself silly during a poker game, unless you are in the mood to let other people win. Online Dvd Rentals Grant was nominated twice for the best actor in Oscar but never won any award. The tone controls are the most sensitive that I've ever seen on a guitar amplifier.
