Ben Kingsley, Liam Neesson, Ralph Fiennes, Speilberg, list, schindler in A-Movie, Movie Review IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT KIM GENTES MOVIE REVIEWS
The appearance of a movie in this review journal does not mean that the movie is endorsed by Kim. He writes reviews of movies that he saw that he recommends people avoid as well as movies that he considers worth seeing. Aside from just critical approval regarding the film, some movies may not be suitable for you or your family. You must make that kind of determination on your own, and stay true to your own convictions on what is appropriate to see. Some movies are well made, but have offensive or difficult subject matter that is questionable to many viewers. Again, the reviews listed here should not be your only filter for whether or not a film is appropriate for you and and your family.
Additionally, Kim has his own view on what movies are and why he thinks they are a worthwhile aspect of current culture to be investigated. You certainly don't have to agree with Kim on his viewpoints of movies, and he would be surprised if you did.
Kim's thoughts on movies -
Movies are the modern art "experience" of our culture. They are transmitted in many forms, on screens in theatres, DVDs, television and even computers. They are the merge of classical theatrical acting and modern day technical set and experience creation (effects). The reason I enjoy and watch lots of movies is that they not only entertain, they communicate the nuances of our society. Of course, some have nothing to do with culture, its just greedy corporations trying to produce profits. I am a guy, and as such am not the ideal audience for romantic comedies or 'chick fliks'. However I am also a husband, and domestic bliss (as well as common sense) compels me to at least review them...occasionally. For the most part, you will find I like (and therefor review a lot of ) action, drama, science fiction, suspense and similarly themed movies.

The power of this story is so much bigger than a retro-fitted modern movie with black and white sculpting. Spielberg cleanses something of his soul and ours when we are forced to take an honest look at the inhumanity of humanity through the eyes of these characters. People will hallow back to many tragedies as the eras pass, but no single tragedy has come close to the wiping out of 6 million Jews at the hands of Hitler. When I read some other reviews on Yahoo and other places harping on propaganda I can only imagine them as anti-Semites or simply ignorant.
The acting in this classic is not surface to stereotype at all (epitomized by the supportive roles of Ralph Fiennes and Ben Kingsley). Each person has a slice of brute and beauty. Schindler (the stand out career role played by Liam Neeson), though obviously the benefactor of many Jews, is not without his moral corruption and conflict. The one ray of innocence is perfectly captured by the children, as it should be. I thought the black and white coloring of the film was succinct and appropriate, bringing more realism to the story because it related one to the historical time period we can associate with the tragedy.
Spielberg, of course, is masterful in exposing the world of sound, movement, wistful, drudging and visceral action that he has the uncanny way of weaving into every part of cinema he makes, into this story. You are right there. Living it, hearing it, feeling it, thinking it.
An uncompromising masterpiece of film making.
