Say what you want about Spielberg's latest films, this one shows what a master story teller he can be. Liam Neeson, Ralph Fienes, and Ben Kingsley shine in this this bleak tale of a German businessman's attempts to save as many Jews as he can in wartime Poland. I particularly like the way Schindler is shown to only gradually see what he is doing is more than just making money and how over time he becomes obsessed with his mission. The color sequence at the end where the survivors pay homage to Schindler is very moving, as is the John Williams score recorded in Boston's Symphony Hall.
