Schindler's List was, in my opinion, the most shocking movie that I have ever seen. It connected the visionary piece to what has been told to me by my relatives for many years. I think that the movie shocked me to realize that we can never allow this to happen again to any people in any part of the world. Thanks to Spielberg, the movie, the music and the message will stay with me for the rest of my life. I saw Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" yesterday and I came away somewhat disappointed. This was a horrible war and the movie strongly conveyed the message. The story, in my opinion, was somewhat lost in all of the blood and horror. Of course, I am sure it was, in many respects just like the movie. This is also why we have chocolate and vanilla, isn't it? Bob Bedwell << Peter, I do not know what your movie selection criteria are, but all I can say is that Spielberg (note correct spelling) is for me the greatest film director of our time. I am not sure which of his movies you consider nightmares; if you are referring to "Schindler's List" then yes, the events depicted are indeed nightmarish, not least because they actually happened.
