Disgusting garbage.

This is one of the worst and most disgusting films I've ever seen. It has no artistic value. It is cheesy, contrived, predictable and nothing more than a vapid, empty, exploitative recreation of the holocaust to elicit the lowest form of human emotions. It is crass in its execution, the cinematography doesn't flow nor is it natural, every frame, specially those extreme closeups of actions feel like Spielberg is violently grabbing you by the arm and forcing your head into looking at what he wants you to look at. Absolutely terrible. The black and white is horrible too. In short, a godawful film.

I really can't stand this movie.

Part of the reason why is that if you have something as brilliant as like Shoah, how is your movie with all its artistic license going to do a better job of conveying the Holocaust than a documentary that talks directly to the people who lived through it? It's the sheer height of arrogance.

Spielberg did the same bullshit with the Munich Massacre. There was a great documentary called One Day in September, yet he decided to shoot Munich. Again, how can you a better movie introducing the public to the Munich Massacre when you already have a documentary with interviews from everyone who was there?

Agreed. Spielberg is the king of schmaltz.
