Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Gemini Cricket]

I just watched 'Schindler's List' again after a long hiatus from watching the film. It's truly a great film. I think it was Spielberg's last great film. (Save the first 20 minutes of 'Private Ryan'.)
It doesn't feel right to talk about how beautiful this film is, but it is. There is some great imagery that hits a homerun in this film. There are parts that drag, but he really did something right with this one.
I have seen the film at least 4 times now and missed the shot of Schindler and his wife driving away in concentration camp uniforms. I don't know how I missed that before. I also thought he did a good job showing the progression of characters even the minor ones. There were a lot of people to keep track of and he did it well.
And Liam Neeson is huge! He looks like he's 7 feet tall in this film.
