In Reply to: So, Schindler's List....high budget guilt trip? posted by tinear on February 6, 2005 at 13:14:23:
by eveyone. Someone here critized that point of view because it was so smary. Well, when the dvd became available, I saw it for the fist time in many years and now I have to agree that SL is wrought with emotional smarm that comes close to invalidating the message. SL certainly has merit but it does not stand as the icon I once thought. Unfortunately, memory is never close to 100%.

black tragedies but you are ready to throw open your arms to the Jewish one which occurred more than a half-century ago.
Today, black people are still being massacred---instead of guilt, do you think the film makers just might wish to help stop this and other tragedies in Africa?--in numbers far greater than any others.
Guilt? How about a bit of human empathy/sympathy?

I'm not a big fan of genocide no matter how much the human race has made it a global past time. The motives of the work balanced against artistic effort is what I have complaints about concerning both films. Being Anglo-Saxon doesn't make me a racist monster right out of the chute.

out of its way NOT to be an emotional rollercoaster and that Cheadle's performance is very understated.
You seemed to imply you knew the motivations of the producers of this film by accusing them of manufacturing "guilt."

Actually, I'm not to deep into guilt. 8^)
