Week 33 Preview: Schindler's List
There can be no true good without true evil. We must see the horrors of life to truly value what we have. Here is a picture that explores the depths of evil more than any other while still being a tale of hope, survival and pure human goodness. It is a movie that causes us to be thankful, appreciate the lives we live and strive to be better human beings than those that have come before us- all values fundamentally tied to this time of year where we should give unconditionally and be thankful for all that we have. It is a difficult film with a message and historical context that make it quite possibly the most socially important movie ever made. This week’s picture is Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List.
