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
