The story of the Jews during the holocaust is brought out masterfully by Steven Spielberg in the film Schindler’s List. This would prove to be a challenging task as Spielberg had to work away from many predecessors whom had filmed about the Holocaust as Spielberg has but also remain as faithful to the story of the 6 million Jews massacred during the Holocaust the finished product a masterful and emotion picture that feels like almost a documentary.

Itzhak Stern is a Jew chosen by Schindler to work as an accountant. However, Stern has an effect on Schindler which is part of the reason Schindler decides to save all his workers. We see his compassion when he rescues Stern from being shipped to a concentration camp. Kingsley is perfect for the part and shows that he is afraid but brave enough to stand up for his beliefs. However the best performance would come from Neeson as Schindler as he allows the subtle changes that move Schindler from a heartless businessman to a savior. This slow metamorphosis gives a more realistic feel to the film and Schindler himself.

The film is done in black and white adding a sense of reality to the film. The colour clean and pure the images crisp. The use of black and white allowed Spielberg to highlight major points and scenes by
