    What is most amazing about this film is how completely Spielberg serves his story. The movie is brilliantly acted, written, directed and seen. Individual scenes are masterpieces of art direction, cinematography, special effects, crowd control.

I do believe that is how some of it went but germans went as heartless as this movie shows. As they say there is always two sides to the story; And you may never know exactly which one is true.… Expand

    It was such a banal film, I think Spielberg rather wanted the audiences to symphathize with the Jews in the Holocaust rather than let the audience enjoy a good story.… Expand
