Goofs

Among the decorations worn by Amon Goeth on his SS uniform are the Iron Cross 2nd Class, the Sudentenland Medal, and the Silesian Eagle. Goeth was never awarded any of these decorations; in the case of the Silesian Eagle, Goeth would have been 11 years old when the badge was presented. See more »

A perfect film
23 March 2000 | by (USE) – See all my reviews

To sum up Spielberg's masterwork in one word is a nearly impossible task, but I have come to the conclusion that Schindler's List is perfect. Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler is truly great in recreating the role of a modern day Moses. Making this film all the more compelling is John Williams' perfectly composed original musical score. This film deserves all the awards bestowed upon it, especially best picture by the National Board of Review and the Academy and the Academy Award for best director Steven Spielberg. It deserves all these awards and more. Schindler's List is a film that everyone should see and appreciate to its fullest extent. Spielberg will remain an immortal filmmaker through the work he put into this film.
