In Reply to: Re: Ralph Fiennes' depraved death camp commander was "saccharine"? posted by Dmitry on March 10, 2004 at 21:21:33:
but I will stick to my guns; the portrayals and Keneally novel were engaging 1/2 truths when the subject was serious enough to warrant a grain or two more truth
Spielberg went to extreme efforts to ensure accuracy of costume and even locations; one scene has a steam train arriving through the gates of Auschwitz and I have stood on that platform when I visited Poland, what upsets me is that that level of accuracy was achieved, yet the story is fatally flawed as the portrayal of Schindler does not show this man as he really wasGrins
Follow Ups:
What in this movie are you picking on about the facts. For a start Emily Schindler did do much - and this was left out of the film...once again any history of an individual is never 100%. If you think ANY film on ANY history of anything is accurate you don't have competancy in history. Claude Lanzman film is 9 hours long and has about 1hour of actuyal historical merit the rest is deeply flawed - and proven so. Historically it's far worse than the small things that were "bent" for Schindler's List.There is no way for Emily Schindler to know what Oscar was doing 24 hours a day. Survivor's themselves provided much of the info on What Schindler did. Emily is 86 at the time of that interview.
She denied nothing of what he did other than providing food. Spielberg presented Oscar as an alcoholic and a womanizer cheating on his wife numerously. Nothing about him was a saint.
I kinda didn't pay attention to Neeson, since I didn't know his story was different.
