I first saw Schindler's List about 25 Years Ago. Stimulated by a 2023 Masterpiece also focused on Auschwitz, The Zone of Interest,I badly wanted to rewatch Schindler's List


Winner of seven Academy Awards®, including Best Picture and Best Director, this incredible true story follows the enigmatic Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), who saved the lives of more than 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust.


"It is the triumph of one man who made a difference and the drama of those who survived one of the darkest chapters in human history because of what he did. Meticulously restored from the original film negative in pristine high definition and supervised by Spielberg, Schindler’s List is a powerful story whose lessons of courage and faith continue to inspire generations.


The film also earned Oscars® for composer John Williams, screenwriter Steven Zaillian and director of photography Janusz Kaminiski, as well as art directors Allan Starski and Ewa Braun, editor Michael Kahn and producers Spielberg, Gerald R. Molen and Branko Lustig." From Universal Studios


There is a great review by Roger Egbert

In light of the horrors of war now playing out this movie becomes more powerful with each daily  cast. Anti-Semitism is the driving force world wide behind terrorism

I happen to be in the middle of Zone of Interest right now (I tend to watch movies over the space of a few days, in short chunks, most of the time) and I can already see how it might make one long to see a movie like Schindler's List again (such a gorgeous and haunting film, and, oh, the musical score, too).
