That would be true if, e.g., you are a professor in a University, a teacher in a school, or just about any WASP living in urban America. But, if you are a redneck, blue collar farmer who milks cows and slaughters animals, I think Schindler's List is enough. For two hours, this farmer will come to realize that s/he needs to think beyond udders and agriculture. That makes all the difference in the world; it is more than Godard could ever hope to accomplish and perhaps in the long run more profound.Originally posted by Johann
Your point is well taken, and yes, Spielberg is a genius at manipulating that demographic.
I guess I'm just bewildered that people won't look deeper.
If your interest or knowledge of the holocaust stops at Schindler's List, Houston we have a problem.
