Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts Thomas Keneally's book, "Schindler's Ark", with Steven Spielberg's film, "Schindler's List", which Spielberg based on Keneally's book. The paper looks at the differences in how Schindler is portrayed in the novel and how he is portrayed in the film, and the details about Schindler that are included in Keneally's book, but omitted in Spielberg's film. The paper also comments on Spielberg's ability to effectively depict the horrific treatment of the Jews by the Nazis.
From the Paper
"Perhaps no other movie in recent history has had such an effect on the American public and the citizens of the world than Steven Spielberg?s ?Schindler?s List.? Based on Thomas Keneally?s book, ?Schindler?s Ark,? the movie was hailed by most critics as a masterpiece of cinematography. It was also praised as being an important and crucial link to the untold stories of the survivors of Nazi concentration camps during World War II. Through the years the movie has been studied in classrooms across the world and has become the centerpiece for museums dedicated to the camps? victims and survivors. However, one could argue that, among other differences, Spielberg?s movie over-dramatized Oskar Schindler, compared to the Keneally?s portrayal of the man."

From the Paper
"The Holocaust has been addressed in books, articles, films, novels, stories, and poems hundreds and thousands of times over the last half century, and now and again a particular work comes along that brings the entire issue into the open once more and introduces a new generation to the horrors of World War II and to the evil that human begins can do to one another. Such a work is "Schindler's List", a film that has proven to be very popular and that has engendered controversy on a number of fronts. There are, of course, arguments over whether the film is accurate or whether it evokes the truth of the Holocaust to a sufficient degree. There has also been controversy brought about by the thoughtless actions of some young people who laughed when they saw the film, leading to a variety of dissections of the current generation and its ability to understand the suffering of others."

Abstract
This paper presents a critique of Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" and Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List." The critique includes a summary of the film, characterization in the film, audience reaction, and critical reaction. Also included is a discussion about how the films relate to the Nazi regime and the Holocaust.
From the Paper
"Before the horrors of the Holocaust became evident, Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" advocating the forces of democracy to collectively stand against fascism found its way into theaters. Ironically, production of the film began on September the day Britain and France declared war on Germany. Prior to WWII Britain's policy of appeasement and the U S policy of isolationism did little to persuade Chaplin against making the film a parody of Hitler's and Mussolini's fascism. Britain announced it would not release the film for fear of..."

?Schindler?s List? and ?Rosewood?, 2004.
This paper critiques and compares the films, Steven Spielberg?s ?Schindler?s List? and John Singleton?s ?Rosewood?.

Abstract
This paper relates that Steven Spielberg?s ?Schindler?s List was made superbly, using techniques that enhanced the impact of a powerful storyline. The author points out that the cinematography, the unique camera work, sharp angles, and black-and-white filming contributed to the success of this brilliant film. This paper explains that John Singleton?s ?Rosewood?, another movie that captures the horrors of racial violence, is not as superbly made as Spielberg?s film; nonetheless, it does full justice to the issue of violence, especially lynching.
From the Paper
"Based on true events that took place in 1920s, the movie was hailed for its realistic depiction of violence; but it failed to win accolades at the box office because of its not so powerful cinematography and less than unique film techniques. Unlike ?Schindler?s List? where everything contributed to make the movie successful, the same things did not serve the right purpose in ?Rosewood?. Singleton?s camera work effectively captured fear and terror of racial violence, but it did nothing to accentuate the impact of important scenes. Unique camera work and exceptional editing skills were required to add excitement to an otherwise clich?d issue. However, neither Singleton?s direction nor Gregory Piorer?s script could lift the film to the status of "Schindler?s List". In the opening scenes, for example, the contrasts between white and black towns are almost too obvious and are given elementary treatment."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss and analyze the film, "Schindler's List," directed by Stephen Spielberg in 1993. Specifically, it contains an historical analysis and review of that film. "Schindler's List" is the moving story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who took it upon himself to save a "list" of Jews by employing them in his cookware factory, rather than see them sent to the concentration camps. It looks at how critics call the film part docudrama and part fiction, emphasizing the historical aspects of the Jewish ghetto in Krakow and the concentration camp at Auschwitz and how,filmed in black and white except for the end and the girl in the vivid red coat, the film is a stark reminder of the atrocities of the Nazi party, while illustrating there are always people willing to risk their lives for the lives of others.
From the Paper
"Many historians and authors discussing the Holocaust believe only those who managed to survive the horrible conditions of the Nazi concentration camps are in fact qualified to write about what happened during those terrible times. Many writers and directors have attempted to tell the story of those who lived and died, but several maintain that the accounts by survivors are the only ones which accurately depict the ultimate evil of the Nazis and their policies of elimination for Jews, and anyone who did not belong to their blonde and perfect "master race." One of these writers is Michael R. Marrus, who wrote "The Holocaust in History," which discusses in depth the historical aspects of the Holocaust. Since Spielberg also interviewed many survivors of the Holocaust, his film does tend to accurately portray the experiences of Jews in the Auschwitz concentration camp, and in the Poland ghetto of Krakow."

Abstract
This paper explains why the movie and the book, "Schindler's List," while not conforming to typical Hollywood formula films, is nonetheless a great work of art and why it so successfully delivers its intended message. The paper analyzes the main character, Oskar Schindler, and Liam Neeson's portrayal of that character and examines how they so effectively make viewers and readers question, not so much why Schindler acted in the moral and ethical manner that he did, but why the rest of the German citizens didn't.
From the Paper
"In the novel Schindler's List by Thomas Kenneally, the story of the Holocaust is told from a dual point of view--that of the Jewish people who are downtrodden, rounded up and taken to camps, murdered and degraded by the Nazis, and that of the German industrialist who takes it upon himself to save a large number of Jewish people from their fate. The question raised by the book is not as much why does he do this as why does everyone else not. Some of the reasons have been given before--many of the most culpable, the Nazi bureaucrats who assisted directly in the deportation and murder of millions of people, argued that they were under orders and had no choice, and they pleaded during their trials that they had all acted under orders. The novel and the film both tell the story of a man who did not leave it to others and who saw it as a personal need to do what he could to alleviate if not change the situation. Much of the critical response to the film has centered on issues related to this central character and to why he acted as he did."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses Steven Spielberg's film, 'Schindler's List'. The paper reports that 'Schindler's List' is based on the actual life story of a German businessman, Oskar Schindler, who saved over 1000 Polish Jews from the Nazis by putting them to work in a factory he owned that made war materials for the Third Reich.
From the Paper
" Ultimately, Oskar Schindler, whose compassion for his Jewish workers continually evolves throughout the film, loses the entire fortune that he has amassed during the war in bribing the Nazis, again and again, to leave his Jewish workers alone. At the end of the war, though, Schindler still will face arrest by the fast-approaching Soviet Army of wartime profiteering, so he is forced to flee his factory as the Russian Army approaches his factory in Moravia. His workers give him a letter to carry with him testifying to his good deeds and how he has saved them all from death. The next morning, when the factory itself is liberated by the Russian Army, Schindler himself is already long gone. "

Abstract
This paper examines the reality of evil with the belief of the sacred, in Steven Spielberg?s Holocaust film ?Schindler?s List.? It analyzes the main character Schindler and how his relationship developed with his Jewish laborers into profound goodness. The paper uses the examples of evil as seen in Geoth?s cruel anger and jealously towards the Jewish financial success acted out through his violent behavior.
From the Paper
"Keeping in mind the cruelty that took place against the Jews during the Second World War, there have been attempts to reconcile the reality of evil with belief in the sacred. If this were not done then there would probably be a distinct line dawn between those that are good and those that are bad, and in this process there would be many races in the world that would even be termed good or bad. The movie ?Schindler?s list,? is one perspective of this line and shows what difference the forgiveness of one person can make to the lives of many human beings."

The Cinematic Style of Steven Spielberg, 2007.
This paper discusses Steven Spielberg's particular style as a film director.

Abstract
In this paper, the author compares Steven Spielberg's films "Saving Private Ryan" and "Munich." The basis for the comparison is Spielberg's personal cinematic style as a director. Spielberg is able to integrate the visual setting in both films as realistic, but not necessarily for sheer visual impact. Instead, he lets the scene tell the story. Additionally, the conclusions of both films allowed the viewer to resolve the themes of the movies themselves, another trademark of Spielberg.
From the Paper
" It was easier to immediately reject Saving Private Ryan because of its category than it was to reject Munich. At least Munich was interesting. Upon hearing the titles of both films, Munich (at least in this reviewer's case) was far more intriguing than Private Ryan. This critic's automatic rejection scenario was immediately initiated upon hearing of Private Ryan, while being intrigued by hearing of Munich."

Steven Spielberg's ?Indian Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark? (1981), 2005.
This paper discusses the use of symbolism to portray the stereotype of the American male hero in Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones" trilogy, especially "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981).

Abstract
This paper explains that not only are there actual symbols present in Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones" trilogy, especially "Raiders of the Lost Ark", such as Indiana's most feared enemy, the snake, but also the movies themselves serve as a symbol of American pop through the Hollywood's glorification and stylization. The author points out the symbolism in the main character Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford, who is a young, powerful educated man, coming from a civilized background with a catchy nickname "Indy", which all heroes must, and dressed in his classic American archaeologist attire of leather jacket and bullwhip. The paper concludes that the Indiana Jones trilogy continues to be an incredible success because it is so easy for the American population to relate to Indy, a hero who never failed, and because it reflects American pop culture of adventure, power and heroism.
From the Paper
"It is very possible for even one trailer that is a mere one minute and fifty seconds long, to encompass so many different symbols, that have significance all throughout the movie. The clip that portrays the most symbolism in the shortest amount of time is definitely the part of the movie when Indiana Jones finds himself fighting a town full of Arabs in the middle of a marketplace in Cairo, all in order to rescue Marion. First and foremost, this entire sequence is filmed to fully capture the role of having a damsel in distress, as Indy is fighting in attempt to save Marion. Secondly, a very apparent form of symbolism appears in the background of the shot, where the entire marketplace is full of Arabs who are all wearing turbans and sandals, a very stereotypical image of the people of the eastern culture living in that region. The most noticeable glorification of the American culture becomes very evident when Indy is facing a large Arab man with a sword, who is prepared to fight him."

From the Paper
"Steven Spielberg is arguably the most financially-successful film director in history, having directed several of the highest-grossing films in history--Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark (and its sequels), and now Jurassic Park, quickly on its way to becoming the number one box office grosser of all time. His success as a moneymaker has not always been greeted with critical acclaim, and there may indeed be some tendency on the part of critics to overcompensate for Spielberg's success with barbs at some of his films. His supporters think this is the case, and they also feel that the Hollywood community has joined in that effort. They point to the fact that The color Purple, directed by Spielberg in 1985, won eleven Oscar nominations, but not one for the director. Actor-director Clint Eastwood has speculated that..."
