That's the first time I've ever heard somebody say that Schindler's List is hollow. I find it to be very moving and an excellent portrayal of the horrors of the Holocaust.
What don't you like about it?
- julius_geezer 16y agoThe story itself is moving, as heroism in a good cause will be. But making art requires more than such a story as its point of departure. The movie has what I regard as Spielberg's usual flaws: a taste for cheap trick, the quick laugh, the tremendous visual sense without much behind it. I'm sure that anyone in occupied Poland who could afford to look like that, did. I gain no particular insights into what anyone in particular might have felt or thought. Watch Europa, Europa or The Pianist, and I think you will see much superior movies--though these are even more on the periphery of the true horrors than Schindler's List.
