In Reply to: Not a good film, but a major, incredibly important work. posted by Victor Khomenko on December 11, 2018 at 11:59:03:
This should be required viewing for all eigth and ninth graders so they can understand true discrimination, slavery, and genocide. Kids are taught by their parents about how.bad they have it and Schindler's List helps to set that straight. Maybe a mediocre film but an important lesson on man's inhumanity to man. The film transcends the Jewish plight to show us what we are all capable of in our hearts and minds. Kids need a hard slap to understand how good they have it and this is it.
