Schindler's List

A film which is a powerful and inspiring film to me is Schindler's List directed by Stephen Speilberg. It is a true story of Oskar Schindler who saves thousands of Jewish lives during the Holocaust. 

One thing which i love about the film, is the way that it was filmed. The way that it is filmed in black and white gives the viewer the sense of the time . And to add to this there is a tiny bit of colour used within the filming to create emphasis, this is used to symbolize the little girl in the red coat. With the little girl standing out due to the red being added, it creates focus on her and the viewer can then track her actions and life throughout the film. In the film the little girl is sadly seen dead on a pile of corpses, with the red coat still visible and standing out amongst the rest of the dead bodies. The red works well with the film, because it resembles the bloodstain that the Holocaust brought.

Another moving part of the film is the beautifully orchestrated music composed by one of my favorites, John Williams. The music really makes the film, and without such an outstanding soundtrack the film would not have been so impacting. A dramatic and emotionally moving film that is worth seeing.
