Powerful Analysis Of Schindler List
1,358 words... he most powerful performance is by Neeson. He begins the movie just wanting money and women and power. In the end, he has turned his heart to saving all the Jews that he has employed.

I decided to emphasis the way certain close ups and facial expressions were used t...
