"Schindler‘s List" differs from all other Holocaust dramas, not because it’s utterly unflinching in its depiction of evil, but because it’s more fascinated with the mystery of goodness.
In the face of implacable evil, what made Oskar Schindler — a not especially heroic man at first — risk everything to do good? The film doesn’t really offer an answer, but intensely felt performances by Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, and Ralph Fiennes (in his star-making role) illuminate the issue.
