Somehow I'd never seen Schindler's List and I finally got around to it yesterday. WOW. I mean WOW. Recently I said that I though that Close Encounters of the Third Kind was Steven Spielberg's best film, I may have been wrong. While I think Encounters is the better movie (in my opinion - remember I'm a dork), Schindler's List is an amazing piece of film making.

Ok, I'm sure you've seen it, and as it's such a deep movie I won't try to dissect it again (I'm sure I'd do a terrible job). The thing that struck me the most was the end, where you see all the "Schindler Jews" at his grave (with the cast member that played them). This really brings the film home and puts a real face on it. While you're watching it you know it's a true story, but this is Hollywood, is anything ever really true? Well, yeah, this is. It won a laundry list of awards, including Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Director, Best Film Editing, Best Music - Original Score, Best Picture, and Best Writing. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes were both nominated (best Actor and supporting). If you're like me and have been under a rock and haven't seen this movie, SEE IT. It's AMAZING!
