Schindler's List


I think the cinematography of Schlinder's List is appropriatly executed with respects to the sensitive topic of the holocaust and at the same time presents a documentry-esque biography of accounts in black and white film.

The seriousness and alternate art direction drew my attention. The simplicity and use of the little girl in the red coat for a metaphoric reference to death and blood was an intriguing decison made by Spielberg.


From such a tragic event in history I commend how Spielberg used the success of the fillm to fund an archive to maintain accounts from the survivors of the holocaust.
