Schindler’s List is a powerful historical drama directed by Steven Spielberg. The film is set during World War II and follows the true story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman portrayed by Liam Neeson.

However, as he witnesses the horrific atrocities of the Holocaust and the suffering of his Jewish workers, he undergoes a profound transformation. Schindler ultimately uses his wealth and influence to save over 1,000 Jewish lives by employing them in his factories, risking his own safety to protect them from the Nazis.

The movie highlights Schindler’s gradual realization of the moral imperative to save lives in the face of immense evil. The film’s black-and-white cinematography and haunting score add to its emotional impact, making “Schindler’s List” a poignant and critically acclaimed masterpiece about the triumph of humanity over inhumanity during a dark period in history.
