SteVin89's video: Schindler s List Music Video John Williams Pt 2

'Schindler's List' (1993) is Steven Spielberg's masterpiece. One of the most appreciated films of all time. Based on the novel 'Schindler's Ark' by Thomas Keneally and adapted by Steven Zaillian. This holocaust drama received seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director for Spielberg and Best Score for John Williams. All the earnings this film made went to Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation. You can find their site here: http://www.usc.edu/libraries/archives/arc/libraries/sfa/index.php The film is about the German businessman Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), a member of the NSDAP. He's a born oppurtunist who travels from Czechoslovakia to Krakow for cheap workers. It is 1939 and the war had just begun, Schindler's plan is to start manufacturing goods for the German millitary. In order to earn his money he wants to use Jewish labourers. Thousands of them are in Krakow. Schindler secures an old factury and a work force from the Germans and starts his production. All with help from the benign Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley) who has contacts with the underground Jewish business community. Quickly Schindler's factory gains popularity as a safe haven for Jews. Schindler is reluctant to give in to this idea. But later is confronted with the horrors of the holocaust. When the SS clears Krakow from Jews with horrifying force, all under the lead of Amon Göth (Ralph Fiennes). Affected by these images Schindler begins his plan to save the Jews from prosecution. All cumulating into a list of Jewish labourers who are essential to production. This is my longest video yet, therefore it had to be split in two. This is the second half. It is accompanied by John Williams Oscar winning music. With amazing violin solos by Itzhak Perlman. 'Schindler's List' and its music are property of Universal Pictures.
