There are many stories that can be made. Whay should Schindler's NOT be told? One of the reasons to make Schindler's story is because he was a small time Nazi businessman who was not really a likeable person. The point was to say if this kind of person can do this much then there is hope.

There is no question that Spielberg is an optimist, his films look for the good. It's a shame that many can only like a film if the ending is depressing or the entire mood is generally dour.

The Pianist made by the artsy fartsy lover's preferred director Roman Polanski was about a guy who saved no one did nothing and was a nobody. It was a good story but not terribly insightful. People obviously felt there was a reason to tell this story - It was worth telling - as was Life Is Beautiful.
