Schindler’s List Considered one of the greatest – and most terrifying – cinematic works of all time. steven spielbergawho won as many as seven Oscars (including Best Film of the Year), regularly appears on the list. The saddest movies of all timeHowever, from the beginning it raised eyebrows in some circles. Disagreements.

Why? Because this black-and-white Holocaust film is not actually about Jews, but about the German Oskar Schindler. Yes, the businessman saved about 1,100 people from death in concentration camps (he employed them en masse in his factory so they would not be deported), and for this he was named Righteous Among the Nations after the war. However, he was still a member of the Nazi Party, just like the other main character in Schindler’s List, Amon Goeth, the commandant of the Plaszow concentration camp. And making a film about Nazis in the context of the Holocaust… stirs emotions.

But let’s put the controversial topics aside: Schindler’s List remains a brilliantly shot film that has shocked audiences for three decades.

However, it would be unfair to look at it “The Dark Knight”the second part of the Batman trilogy by director Christopher Nolanonly through the lens of comics and superheroes.

Coppola not only modernized gangster cinema, but also showed the mafia in a completely new light, thanks to which he created an immortal classic. “The Godfather” does not glorify gangsters, but shows the cruelty and violence that rules their world.
