Schindlers List Essay Although the movie was in black and white‚ the movie was a very strong way to get its message across. The movie showed how it was for the Jewish people in Poland.

In his portraits of both the powerful and the powerless and is his transcendent final scene‚ Spielberg defines for us a very personal vision of the Holocaust. Oscar Schindler appears for the first time in the film as an opportunistic entrepreneur mingling with the Nazi
