SCHINDLER'S LIST

"Whoever saves one Life, Saves the world entire."
                                                      -Hebrew Saying



Out of many movies made over the subject of Genocide of Jews  in World War II  (1939) by Nazis, I have always found "Schindler's List" is the best among them.. Its about List of slave labors who were saved by a Nazi Businessman.

 Its about a Greedy Member of a Nazi Party who is a profit oriented Businessman. He uses Jews as free Labors in his factories by hiding them in the factory with help of the other Nazi people involved. By keeping Jews as slave worker in his factory, telling them that they will be saved from the Holocaust, He earns a great fortune out of it, but later in the movie he is shown spending most of his fortune on saving his Jewish workers from their destined death.. 



Oskar Schindler's story  is of a greedy  Nazi War Profiteer, who cries with regret while going back to his country, that he should have saved more people using his wealth.

The whole movie is not only a wonderful depiction of this true historical figure and event,but it has alot more to offer.The movie is amazingly inspiring yet surprising because of the facts that:

1. Its a true Story
2. It revolves around one great subject, yet telling story of all other objects
3. All other movies are mostly about brutaly Murdered Jews it is about the person of Nazi Party
4. The protagonist is the antagonist, He is the Nazi, He is the greedy one yet he is the Hero.

The movie is an extraordinary life-like depiction of how lucrative profiteer transforms and started caring about his workers.. Humans.. and the worth of a Human Life. His heart changes and changes to such an extent that he spends all his money for saving the Jewish people, and even after that he regrets in the end and reduces to tears that he should have saved more when he could. 

The movie's end is the best ending a movie can ever have where While flying back to his country he kneels down on the railway track and cries and tells his manager Itzhak, that how sorry he is he could not save more people. The last dialogues are everything in this movie and "Liam Neeson" proved what he is capable of.

Oskar Schindler: I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don't know. If I'd just... I could have got more.
Itzhak Stern: Oskar, there are eleven hundred people who are alive because of you. Look at them.
Oskar Schindler: If I'd made more money... I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I'd just...
Itzhak Stern: There will be generations because of what you did.
Oskar Schindler: I didn't do enough!
Itzhak Stern: You did so much.
[Schindler looks at his car]
Oskar Schindler: This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people.
[removing Nazi pin from lapel]
Oskar Schindler: This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern. For this.
[sobbing]
Oskar Schindler: I could have gotten one more person... and I didn't! And I... I didn't!



The people who were saved back then because of the Schindler's List, and their generations still pay respects to his Grave for what he did for them.. and for himself.
