Weird Liam Neeson flashbacks...
Well, it's not the first time Neeson has played a scoundrel-turned-benificent-factory-owener. Difficult to rid myself of the image of Ralph Fiennes playing Javert...
I feel like you just read my mind .
This movie could have felt like another SL if Ralph Fiennes played Javert.
This performance reminded me a lot to his portrayal of Oscar Schindler.
I like spurious comparisons - glad it's not just me. And of course Les Mis would work very well in WW2, as a French film-maker has already demonstrated...
A much more tasteless comparison comes from the character of Tony Stark in 'Iron Man'. He's a playboy arms-manufacturer who is awakened to his responsibilities to the weak by a man who looks rather like Ben Kingsley and then devotes his fortune to philanthropy... uncannily similar to Oskar Schindler apart from the inclusion of powered armour. Not that I don't think Schindler couldn't have used some powered armour, you understand.

Wow I can't believe this has been done but yes I'm sure this worked perfectly well now I want to see that version.

Again I'm surprised, never saw ironman or had a clue of what this character was about but sounds very interesting and yes maybe tasteless but sure a has a lot of similarities with Oscar Schindler.
Probably the creator of iron man was inspired in that man to create that super hero.
Maybe that was the key of the success of the movie Schindler's list.
Spielberg showed us a real life hero with his own flaws and a change of heart, just having as a main character Schindler is what made this movie so different from all the other holocaust films.
Sorry that I got so out of topic but its funny that there are two fictional characters so similar to That man and Liam Portrayed one of those.
