Movie reviews

The movie ' Schindler's List' is one of my favourite wartime movie. The main plot is about Schindler, a German businessman who saved the livies of 1100 Polish Jews during the World War II by employing them in his factory. Schindler was a member of the National Socialist Party and had a lavish life. He opened his factory as a war profiteer and employed the Jews who were cheaper labours. However, there were more and more orders from the Nazi Party to send the remaining Jews in the city to the concentration camps.Originally, his intentions were to making money, but as time passed, he begined ordering his assistant to save as many lives as possible. So he spent much of his money bribing the Nazi officials to save "his" workers, Jewish women and the innocent children as well. He finally comprised as many Jewish workers as possible in his " list" and shifted them to a safe site. When the war ended, the Jews were liberated from the factories.

The most touching part of the movie is the ending where Schindler and his wife were leaving the factory as he ran out of money and the war also ended in Europe. He bid farewell to his workers who were very grateful for what he had done to save their lives. They gave him a letter, explaining he was not a war criminal, together with a ring secretly made by the workers with the quotation" whoever saves one life saves the world entire." Schindler was deeply touched but regreted as he felt that he could have done more to save more innocent lives.

The movie is a reflection of the humanity during the war time. Human beings may lose their rationales. Some people might become senseless killers while some people are trying their best to save any innocent lives. After the war, there were fewer than 4000 Jews living in Poland . Many of them were the decendants of the Schindler's Jews. Even till now, many of these Jewish decendants are still very grateful of what he had done.

Therefore, we should appreciate the peaceful life that we have today and should not take it for granted. They human relationship may become especially fragile during the war times.
