Understandably, any movie that chronicles the holocaust is going to be difficult to watch. It may make one feel angry, hopeless, or any range of tense, exhaustive emotions, but it is the ultimate message of Schindler's List- that of hope in the human race- that makes this movie so great.
You may be thinking to yourself that it seems paradoxical to add a message of hope to a movie that includes the story of the senseless murder of millions of people, but when you see just what Oskar Schindler accomplished in the face of such oppression, you can't help but feel hopeful.
Schindler himself, although the hero of this movie, was far from a perfect person. An unfaithful husband with the intent of becoming a war profiteer, the fact that he was able to become wealthy, only to turn around and spend all of his money to bring the persecuted people under his protective wing makes is what makes this film so compelling.
Based on a true story, and a film that will undoubtedly have an impact on you, you absolutely need to own it and watch it.
