And what if your fate is determined by whether you are tall or short; young or old; male or female? Maybe it’s determined by the state of your health, your job perfor- mance or your religion? And what if the reason your life is spared today could be the reason you’ll be dead ? These were the everyday uncertainties being faced by Eastern European Jews during World War Il. They are also the questions movie audiences are being asked to consider today in Steven Spielberg’s new epic film Schindler’s List. Schindler’s List is the true story of industrialist Oskar Schindler, who, during World War II saved over 1,100 Jewish men, women and children from the gas chamber. On the surface, the f one man’s fight for justice against authority would seem to be familiar ground for Spielberg. Schindler’s List is as different from all previous Spielberg films,*as night is from day, and hot'from cold. Gone are Spielberg’s trade- mnark flashy camera work and manipulative sentiment. Shot in black and white, Movie Review Schindler’s List is a stark, gritty and realistic look at the greatest tragedy of modern times - the Holocaust. The brilliance of Schindler’s List lies in Spielberg’s ability to blend moments which document the massive ‘human destruction in the Holocaust with those marking its toll on a more per- sonal level of the victims. Within the confines of a scene documenting the horrif- ic liquidation of the Polish Krakow ghetto, we are con- little girl, oblivious to her sur- roundings, searching for her mother. Images of a morning sky obstructed from view by the black smoke of the gas cham- bers, Jews are balanced with those of the cold blue hue which engulfs the faces of Jewish women awaiting the deadly poisonous gas shower at Auschwitz. Both the large and small moments of the Holocaust are captured on the screen, thus creating a unique understand- ing and emotional impact on the viewer. Irish actor Liam Neeson stars as Oskar Schindler. Neeson and _ screenwriter Steven Zaillian combine tal- ents to create one of the most complex characters seen on film this year. $1,000 SUPER BINGO WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1994 AT 7:30 PM SACRE COEUR PARISH HALL 39 GUELPH ST., GEORGETOWN Js Schindler merely a flam- boyant playboy, irresistible to women, seeking his fortune from war munitions? Or is he a brave and noble man trying to save lives? © Neeson’s credit, Schindler remains an enigma; both to the audiences and to himself, throughout the film. The job of interpreting Schindler’s unspoken motives falls to Isaak Stern. Ben Kingsley is brilliant as the clever Jewish businessman who very subtly forces Schindler to reexamine his fortune-hunting ways. Rounding out the principal cast is Ralph Fiennes in an astonishing performance as lemonic Nazi labor camp commander, Armon Goeth. He is nothing like the cartoon- figured Nazis of Indiana Jones. Goeth is a.cruel man who kills simply for the sheer pleasure of the act itself. One day, while surveying the activities of the camp from his villa’s balcony, Goeth no qualms or forethought, Goeth raises a rifle and kills the young woman. In Schindler’s List, the vio- lence erupts out of nowhere, without provocation and-hits like a hammer. Shot straight up, it is unyielding in its force ty. It would be misleading to label Schindler’s List a depressing film because while documenting the atrocities of the Holocaust, Spielberg also -aptures the hope and courage of its victims.
