Product Description
Product Description
Schindler's List, a Steven Spielberg film, is a cinematic masterpiece that has become one of the most honored films of all time. Winner of seven Academy Awards®, including Best Picture and Best Director, it also won every major Best Picture award and an exceptional number of additional honors. Among them were seven British Academy Awards; the Best Picture Awards from the New York Film Critics Circle, the National Society of Film Critics, the National Board of Review, the Producers Guild, the Los Angeles Film Critics, the Chicago, Boston and Dallas Film Critics; a Christopher Award; and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Golden Globe® Awards. Steven Spielberg was further honored with the Directors Guild of America Award. The film presents the indelible true story of the enigmatic Oskar Schindler, a member of the Nazi party, womanizer, and war profiteer who saved the lives of more than 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust. It is the triumph of one man who made a difference, and the drama of those who survived one of the darkest chapters in human history because of what he did. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film, which also won Academy Awards® for Screenplay, Cinematography, Music, Editing and Art Direction, stars an acclaimed cast headed by Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagalle and Embeth Davidtz.

Set Contains:
The DVD debut of the Oscar-winning film delivers an outstanding image and sound experience (both 5.1 and DTS tracks are provided), although the single disc needs to be flipped to see the entire film. The centerpiece of the extra features is the new 70-minute "Voices from the List," in which the men and women saved by Oskar Schindler talking about their experiences and memories. The film does an excellent job of complementing the film without overshadowing it in any way. It came out of the Shoah Foundation, which Steven Spielberg started after the film to record first-hand experiences of the Holocaust. A 10-minute featurette updates the foundation's efforts. Unfortunately, there is no insight on the making of the film except a few liner notes. Perhaps the film has such a revered status, deconstructing it might be something Spielberg doesn't want to do, but it's frustrating not to hear from the cast and crew who helped put together one of the 1990s' most distinguished and well-crafted films.--Doug Thomas

- Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2025Spielberg's greatest film is an emotional, touching, heart-breaking masterpiece that will stick with you long after the credits roll.
I was friends with an older gentleman who had lived for a time during the war as one of the prisoners in the concentration camp where much of the story takes place. Immediately after the war he returned to photograph everything for the sake of history. He's now passed on, but lived long enough to see this movie and not only praised it for its extraordinary accuracy, but George showed me pictures of the real place along with stills from the movie and I was shocked by the incredible accuracy of the sets. The people who made this film spared no expense to achieve the incredible accuracy we see on screen. They also had some of the real people portrayed in the film right there on the set every day to ensure that everything about the story was being portrayed with the utmost of accuracy as well.
This is not only the equivalent of history captured on film but is superlative filmmaking on a level rarely achieved.
Spielberg avoided the typical movie cliches, and film phoniness, trusting the reality of the story to touch people's hearts without resorting to the usual cinematic tricks to elicit emotional reactions from viewers. It is Spielberg's most "honest" film.
Schindler's story is an unusual one. He started out as a ruthless businessman, happy to save expenses by using Jews as slave labor in his factory. And he made a FORTUNE by doing so! But, astoundingly, he then spent every penny he had made saving these very same people, who started out as slaves, from being exterminated by the Nazis. He risked his very life to protect them!
He eventually even opened his own concentration camp outside of Germany, as far from prying Nazi eyes as possible, so that he could run it his own way, treating his Jewish prisoners with the kind of care and respect they would never receive anywhere else. He protected their lives and safety, telling the German guards at his camp that if they killed or harmed any of the Jewish prisoners he would see them put into jail. He even banned the guards from the factory floor where these Jewish prisoners spent most of their time, creating a place where they could feel truly safe. He risked his life everyday, knowing that if the Nazis ever discovered that he was really protecting all 1100 Jews from harm instead of working than to death, his own life would be forfeit.
He paid endless bribes, spent a fortune, did things that could easily have gotten him shot, all to protect the lives of these 1100 Jews he'd never even known untill they one day went to work for him in his factory.
By the time they were at last freed, Schindler was penny-less, having spent every cent he had made to keep all of them safe from harm all those years.
He may have started out as a ruthless businessman, a cheating husband, and a less than moral man, but when people's lives were in the balance, he discovered a morality deep within his soul that could not be denied.
He grew from a true cad into a truly extraordinary man who risked his life, who sacrificed the entire fortune that he'd spent his entire life trying to build, to do an extraordinary act of good for thousands of others he knew would never be able to repay him afterward.
This was a story Spielberg HAD to tell, and he told it with a level of truth and honesty rarely seen in films.
Schindler's List is a true masterpiece everyone needs to see.
The 4K Blu-ray gets an A+ for picture and sound quality. Although primarily shot in black and white, the addition of HDR raises the picture far above what I saw in the movie theater. Some of the cinematography is just utterly breathtaking.
This special packaging is excellent and well worth the additional investment.
It would be impossible to recommend this movie and 4K Blu-ray disc any more strongly than already I do. Schindler's List is a true cinematic masterpiece and the crowning achievement of Spielberg's entire filmmaking career. - Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2025The movie was very good Oskar Schindler, was a good man. Later in life, his wife said he failed at almost everything in life. It goes to show you that you don’t need to be successful talented just going to do the right thing to change the world for someone. That means any of us could do the same if you want to read another book like this one you should read the good man of Nanking
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2013All these descriptions fit Oskar Schindler, who saved 1100 Polish Jews from the Auschwitz ovens during the second World War.
Before we get into a critique of the 20th Anniversary DVD of the 1993 movie, let's deal a bit in fact and fiction.
Fiction: In his overly-sentimental, romantic way, director Steven Spielberg fudges some facts of the way the list developed and deals in some fantasies about the man Schindler himself.
Fact: If you want a realistic account of the man Oskar Schindler and his wife Emile Schindler (whose role in all of this got short shrift from Spielberg in the movie) you should read the book: "Oskar Schindler: The Untold Account....................." by David Crowe. Crowe deals with the real Schindler and the real source of the list, plus Mrs. Schindler's outstanding role in affairs, both during and after the war.
And now to a critique of the 20th Anniversary DVD movie.
In the movie, Spielberg creates a legend of the saviour, Oskar Schindler, because he deserves it. (Schindler is portrayed by Liam Neeson.) The movie is shot in black and white without the brilliance of colour so that our sense of the stark, heart-rending facts are not diverted by our sense of colour. Only one scene shows any colour whatsoever, at the time the Krakow ghetto was being violently cleared out. A beautiful little girl is trotting along the side of the people being cruelly evacuated. Her coat is coloured red. This is a symbol of the blood shed on all of the innocents. The girl herself, although appearing as an innocent child just trotting along unknowingly, proves not to be that unknowing. She goes into a vacated apartment building, ascending to the top apartment, and hides under a bed. The innocence of the girl, then the knowledge of her destination, makes this a chilling scene.
Oskar Schindler was born in Brinnlitz,, Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic) just south of the Polish border. When the war broke out (September 1, 1939) and the Germans overran Poland, he made his way to Krakow, Poland, and opened a business which produced pots and pans and cutlery, his market being the German forces. In order to achieve his market,he goes through a lot of bribery with black market goods for the German higher-ups, a lot of procurement of willing women for them, a lot of orgies, a lot of bottles of excellent wines, and the procurement of other rare goods only available through the black market.
After the Germans send residents of the Krakow ghetto to be gassed systematically in the death camp, Auschwitz, those still fit to work are sent to a concentration camp set up at Plawitz. The overseer is the sadistic Armon Goeth, who has a villa built on a hill above the camp and just for fun, sits up there on his balcony, randomly shooting unsuspecting Jewish interns walking around the camp. Following the war, Goeth was hung for war crimes. But while he was commandant, his greatest enjoyment - other than attending Oskar's orgiastic drunken parties - was random shooting of Jew, and/or beating up his Jewish maid.
When the Germans were losing, with the Russians advancing from the East and the Allies advancing from the West, the concentration camp was closed down and all workers sent to Auschwitz. These were meant to include the Schindler Jews, who lived in the camp and worked at the Schindler factory during the day.
Schindler and his erstwhile Jewish accountant, Isaac Stern, make up a list of all the workers in his factory, and include Goeth's maid. With a lot of bribing, Schindler gets his Jewish work force sent to him. However, through a cruel twist of fate, the women, in a separate train from the men, are sent to Auschwitz. Just as the Marines save the community at the last moment, Schindler, through more bribing (this time with diamonds) gets the women out of there and sent back to his factory. But because of the retreat of the Germans, Schindler's business is to be liquidated.
So he returns to his home town of Brinnlitz, Czechoslovakia, and opens a plant there, producing munitions for the Germans. He is aware that the war is nearly over and tells Isaac Stern that if the plant ever produces ammunition, he will be sadly disappointed. At this point, Mrs. Schindler reappears in his life (she had left because he wouldn't give up his womanizing), a clinic is opened for the ill, and she does outstanding work in it (which is only alluded to in the movie).
You'll want to see what happens to Schindler and the workers once the war ends and the Jews reward him in their everlasting gratitude.
Oskar Schindler is saviour and hero to the 1100 survivors and, in 1993, their 6,000 descendants. This DVD includes interviews with some of those survivors, which is a feature which should not be missed.
The very end of the movie switches to full colour. Scene: Israel; Oskar Schindler's grave; a parade to put a stone on his grave (an honour) by some of the 1100 whose lives were alluded to in the movie. Emile Schindler is there. The widow of Isaac Stern is there, accompanied by Ben Kingsley, who brilliantly portrays Isaac Stern in the movie. At the end of this scene, a tall, bearded shadow of a man places two roses on Schindler's grave. It is Steven Spielberg.
If this scene does not bring tears to your eyes nothing ever will.
I gave this movie five stars since the movie in itself is brilliant, one of the greats of all time. Through the story of the Krakow ghetto and the Schindler Jews (as they called themselves) Steven Spielberg presents a brilliant microcosm of the macrocosm of Jewish suffering at the hands of the Germans during the second World War. The elimination of six million Jews was the result of technology gone stark raving mad, the evil vision of one madmen which infected a whole nation.
And Schindler, a deeply flawed human being, was still and always will be, a saviour.

5.0 out of 5 starsGeschichte darf sich einfach nicht wiederholen - zumindest jene der Shoah nicht
Eine Rezension zu dieser DVD-Edition zu schreiben ist wohl das schwierigste Unterfangen, dem ich mich nun stellen muss, denn eigentlich habe ich mir die DVD nicht einmal angesehen.....
Diesem Umstand gibt es aber etwas vorauszuschicken: Den Film selbst habe ich seinerzeit, als er in die Kinos kam, mir zusammen mit meiner ersten Großen Liebe, einem Architekten, der später bei dem Zugsunglück von Eschede tragischerweise ums Leben kam, angesehen. Der gesamte Film war in Schwarzweiss gedreht worden, was sicher eine Herausforderung dargestellt hat angesichts der Tatsache, dass schon damals der Farbfilm en vogue war... Aber diese Technik passte einfach nicht zur Botschaft des Films, der ja in der Nazi-Zeit spielte..... Lediglich die Schlusssequenz, in welcher man die sogenannten "Schindlerjuden" sah, welche dann in weiterer Folge Steine auf das Grab von Oscar Schindler legten, war in Farbe.
Dieser Film war so einprägsam für mich, dass ich ihn zwar auf VHS aufnahm, als er zum ersten Mal ins Fernsehen kam, die VHS mir aber nie angesehen hatte. Lediglich als mein Patensohn Daniel eine für mich seltsame Faszination für das Nazireich entwickelte, habe ich beschlossen, ihm diesen Film zu zeigen. Um dies aber machen zu können, insbesondere aufgrund der Fragen, die sich darauf ergeben dürften, habe ich meine Nachbarin, eine Historikerin, gebeten, bei diesem Filmabend ebenfalls anwesend zu sein. Dies war ein guter Schachzug, denn Frau Kainrath konnte meinem Patensohn bestimmte Fragen beantworten, welche er sich, nachdem er diesen Film mit mir zusammen gesehen hatte, gestellt hatte...
Dieser Film ist daher sehr gut, um der Jugend die Schrecken des NS-Regimes anhand bestimmter Protagonisten, mit denen sie sich zu einem gewissen Grad identifizieren können, zu demonstrieren. Allerdings empfinde ich eine FSK-Freigabe ab 12 Jahren allerdings nicht nur befremdend, sondern sogar verstörend, da Kinder in diesem Alter dieses Wissen eigentlich noch nicht haben.
Ich selbst war gerade einmal 14 Jahre alt, als ich zum ersten Mal anlässlich der Wienwoche die Gedenkstätte Mauthausen besuchen sollte. Immer noch traumatisiert vom tragischen Tod eines tschechischen Flüchtlings, welcher hinterrücks - noch dazu auf österreichischem (!!!!!) Hoheitsgebiet von Grenzsoldaten erschossen worden ist - fühlte ich mich einfach nicht bereit, diese Gedenkstätte mir anzusehen. Ich bettelte meine Lehrerin an, ob ich nicht einfach im Bus auf die Gruppe warten könnte (sie wusste ja aufgrund meiner Aufsätze, wie mich das Schicksal eben jenes tschechischen Flüchtlings immer noch bewegte) aber sie bestand trotzdem darauf, dass ich mitging.
Anfangs war die Führung für mich noch einigermaßen "erträglich" auch wenn ich überwältigt war von den Eindrücken. Seltsame Bilder geisterten mir durch den Kopf, welche ich allerdings eher meiner überbordenden Phantasie zuschrieb. Aber als der Guide uns vor eine Mauer führte, in welcher Eisenringe eingelassen waren und uns schilderte wie Menschen NACKT an diesen fixiert worden und immer wieder mit eiskaltem Wasser abgespritzt worden waren (noch dazu im WINTER!!!!) konnte ich dies einfach nicht mehr ertragen. Kopflos rannte ich vom Gelände - ich wollte einfach nur weg, weg, weg - der Busfahrer fand mich dann weinend in einem Feld liegend..... Es war definitiv zu früh für mich......
Das 2. Mal, als ich die Gedenkstätte besuchte, war ich zwar schon etwas älter, die Schilderungen des Guide aber genauso prägend-traumatisierend. Ich rannte zwar nicht mehr kopflos vom Gelände wie beim 1. Mal, sondern bekam den Heulkrampf auf dem Gelände der Gedenkstätte selbst, weshalb ein "zufällig" anwesender Arzt sich veranlasst sah, mir etwas zur Beruhigung zu geben, aber nichtsdestotrotz möchte ich diese Erfahrungen missen, zeigen sie mir doch, wie sensibel ich mit diesem Thema umgehe, wie bewegend für mich das Schicksal der Juden ist und wie sehr ich mir wünsche, dass die Menschen etwas aus der Geschichte lernen, damit sich derartige Gräuel niemals wiederholen.
Aufgrund dieses Hintergrundes ist der Film "Schindlers Liste" einfach ein schwieriger Film für mich, transportiert er doch die gleichen Empfindungen, welche ich seinerzeit als junges - viel zu junges (!!) - Mädchen hatte, das zum ersten Mal mit der wahren Grausamkeit, welche in bestimmten Menschen innewohnt, konfrontiert wird. Der Wandlung Oscar Schindlers vom Saulus zum Paulus wurde in dem Film richtig schön Raum gegeben, eine solche Wandlung geschieht schließlich nicht über Nacht, sondern bedarf einer gewissen Entwicklung. War Oscar Schindler zunächst nur am wirtschaftlichen Erfolg seines Unternehmens interessiert - ein Umstand, der per se sicher nichts Schlechtes ist und schließlich den Kern des unternehmerischen Handelns ausmacht - entdeckt er mit einem Mal auch sein soziales Gewissen, indem er sich an seinen Arbeitnehmern und deren Schicksal interessiert zeigt. Die Szene, wo er weinend vor seinem Auto steht und seinem Buchhalter vorrechnet, wie viele Menschen er eventuell hätte retten können, wenn er nur diesen Nobelschlitten verkauft hätte, hat mich einfach genau so zu Tränen gerührt wie die Abschlussszene, in welcher die Schindlerjuden bzw. deren Nachkommen Steine auf dem Grab Oscar Schindlers deponieren.....
Der Film hat daher zu Recht die Oscars verdient, mit welchen er ausgezeichnet worden ist, nur ist mir in diesem Zusammenhang unklar, weshalb Ben Kingsley für seine Darstellung des Buchhalter Itzhak Stern, nicht ebenfalls eine dieser Auszeichnungen abgeräumt hat. Spielberg ist sohin ein Meisterwerk gelungen - Im Rahmen dessen, dass ich meine VHS-Sammlung ins digitale Zeitalter holen wollte, musste selbstverständlich auch die DVD von "Schindlers Liste" dabei sein. Auch wenn sie momentan das Schicksal der VHS-Kassette, welche lange Zeit unabgespielt im Regal stand, teilen muss, vergessen sollte man trotzdem nie. Geschichte darf sich einfach nicht wiederholen - zumindest nicht jene der Shoah...... - Derek DReviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2024
5.0 out of 5 starsSteven Spielberg's most personal and triumphant film
Steven Spielberg's most personal film about the attempt of a German industrialist to save 1,100 Jews from the gas chambers by cajoling, bribing, and manipulating the greedy, preening officers of the SS camp in which they worked. There are few subjects so in need of honourable treatment than the Holocaust of WWII and that might explain why there are precious few cinematic accounts out there. That one of the most moving came from the master of the big screen adventure is both unlikely and likely. Yes, he is better known for movies aimed at younger audiences that leave little if anything to the imagination (because he succeeds so completely in getting it all up there on screen) but by the early 90's, Steven Spielberg had already shown us he was capable of crafting touching broad-scale dramas with the likes of The Colour Purple. He had also demonstrated a cultured understanding of moviemaking with masterpieces like Jaws. That said, his experience with the 'in-your-face' cinematic techniques of the Hollywood emotional payoff is as much responsible for the effectiveness of this film as his more deft qualities. For the holocaust is a piece of history that requires in-your-face type confrontation. The cruelty and horror of what happened to the Jews needs to be shoved down our throats every now and then so we truly don't forget. Yes, the artistry of the more subtle scenes elevates this film to the echelons of cinematic greatness and that is edifying for its status as a film, and yes, the more mature examination of the complexities of cruelty, guilt, and mass hatred can culture our understanding of humanity. But it's the refusal to shy away from the raw horror of what happened that gives this film it's universal resonance and that is imperative.
The result is a gruelling watch that will turn your face to stone yet in some small way do justice the suffering. Technically, there's barely a false note played from the set and costume design to the sound production. But standing out is without doubt Janusz Kaminisk's stunningly lit monochromatic photography. Spielberg's use of his work here is nothing short of sublime from the moment he introduces his main character to the his final scene. In retrospect it seems now that nobody could inhabit this carefully constructed space better than Liam Neeson. He brings all the gravitas of an A-lister to the film but with the daring of an actor who has had to work for a living. It's a tightrope of a turn that requires capturing all the ego, manipulation, caring, and bravery of the man. As his right hand man, Itzhak Stern, Ben Kingsley is beyond praise. Ralph Fiennes is to be eternally commended too for giving what could've (and may well have been in reality) a mono-dimensionally evil character enough layers to not excuse his actions (and those of many others like him), but to attempt to explain them.
However, whether the conversation be the acting, the editing, or John Williams deeply moving score, one always comes back to the director. It may have been a personal project but that in no way comprises his clarity. Despite the broad scale of both the story and the emotions it evokes, Schindler's List is as focused a work as anything that has graced the medium and made with a level of skill that at times is breathtaking. The varied manner and innumerable methods that Spielberg uses to lay bare the cruelty and indignity with which the Jews were treated is as chilling as it is ingenious and it's through these contrasts or critical junctures between the surreal and real that this indictment and essential analysis of one race's inhumanity to another is enacted. And while one race in particular will be forever under scrutiny for these actions, the film's greatest achievement is that it rises above the primal tendency to point fingers. That Spielberg chooses a German to be the hero in this tale is of course his essential message – the Jewish Holocaust was and is a human problem not a German one. - Gilbert FaesReviewed in Belgium on July 9, 2024
