His world view was refreshing in American cinema. Keeping a wary eye on the corruption that surrounds us (governmental or personal) made me feel more hopeful about society as a whole. And life is a half a glass of water, no matter how you spill it. He seemed to tell us that the bad guys weren't going to get away with pissing in it, without a fight. By the way, everyone was heavily influenced by the holocaust. He made one explosive movie about it-and made many different types of movies-and to contend the the holocaust was his major influence is unfounded.
