Spielberg deserves his malignment here on this board and to me...

Frankly, Spielberg deserves his criticism. He has been unable to make a movie without resorting to cheap sentimentalism or effects to carry a story. "Schindler's List" was the closest thing I have seen to an exception. Every other Spielberg movie (and I have stopped going to his movies altogether in disgust) he has actors mainly reacting to special effects. Acting in a Spielberg movie means being able to have your jaw go slack in fear or amazement to a green screen.

Schindler's List had two amazing performances: Fienes and Davidtz. I was horrified that Fienes didn't win an Oscar for his performance.

However, no matter how event driven the movie was, Spielberg couldn't resist going Hollywood at the end when Schindler breaks down and cries. The only surprise is that Spielberg was able to resist all the schmaltz until the end.
