    Steven Spielberg refused his salary for SCHINDLER'S LIST. He called profit from the film "blood money" and wouldn't take a single of it. He used his share to found the USC Shoah Foundation, which has since recorded around 55,000 interviews with Holocaust survivors and witnesses.

    Today's review is a movie called "Schindler's List." In this movie, Liam Neeson (who has a very mean Twitter and Bluesky account, btw) plays Oskar Schindler, who was happy to get rich off the efficiencies of the Nazi government, but then worked against it to save the Jews. One star from me!!!

    In terms of Holocaust media that is actually good, I'm mixed on Schindler's List. Ralph Fiennes' Goeth remains imo the most bone-chillingly terrifying portrayal of a Nazi in film, but I don't like the monochrome colour choice (which to me makes events feel distant and old) or the focus on Schindler.

    Kind of glad Spielberg gave it up. The Spielberg magic of the 80s and 90s doesnt exist in his movies. It's like he lost his director eyes for silence, tension, and appeal. Say what you want about Nolan, but Interstellar still ranks to me as one of the most beautiful films ever. Compare that to Spielberg's past twenty years. Tin tin, War of the Worlds, Lincoln. They lack that soul he had in his films. Ready Player One was loud and messy, just shoving CGi everywhere. If I didn't know better…
