Schindler's List

[GiantCALBears]

This is a movie that stays with you years/decades after your first viewing. Without question Spielberg's crowing achievement & that's saying quite a bit.

If it's not the best film ever made, it's certainly close.

Rewatched it in theater with the new release, at first not having the German speak Germans is a bit strange and take a little while to adjust, but otherwise that movie is aging beautifully (a bit like Raging Bull, black and white look did not change has much in the last 40 year's, making it quite intemporal and harder to pin point when it was made)  with a solid and certain sense it will be one of the few that will travel time has long has people watch movie made in that format.

 

Direction, editing, photography, it is all around extremely solid, over 3 hour of quite the subject and it just pass by with the dynamic of the blocking, the many long shot, the strength of the events. The ending that remind how historically close this all is.

 No real comps here. Steven Spielberg’s 40th Anniversary re-release of Close Encounters of the Third Kind made $1.7M over the 2017 Labor Day three-day at 901 locations, which was also timed to a DVD re-release. Men over 25 at 42% and Women over 25 at 32% were the biggest draws here, but the re-release is only getting a 63% overall positive. The original movie, when it was released, earned an A+ CinemaScore.
