From Quiz The Battle of 'Schindler's List'

Answer: 'Schindler's List' was a fictionalization

Spielberg was accused of trying to represent the unimaginable. The idea of having actors portray Holocaust victims in a movie designed to play to the masses strikes many as disrespectful. Many, however, argue that the cultural elitism of the documentary purists has allowed deniers of the Holocaust to gain ground.

From Quiz Who Played Me in "Schindler's List"?

Answer: Ben Kingsley

Kingsley, a native of Scarborough, Yorkshire, England played Itshak Stern, Itshak was a bookkeeper and Oskar went to see him near the beginning of the movie to talk. They went into a private office where Oskar mentioned that he knew of Itshak's doing the books at a company located on Lipowa Street. Itszhak told Oskar that he had to tell him he was a Jew since that was the law. Oskar responded to Itshak by telling him that he was a German man. When Oskar inquired about the company Itshak used to work for, Itshak responded that it was moderately successful. Oskar stated that he wanted to begin a business and he did not have the kind of money necessary to finance it so therefore he wanted Itshak to provide him with contacts for potential investors. When Oskar told Itshak that he had to have had some contacts through the Jewish business community, Itshak said there was no such thing since Jews could no longer own businesses. Oskar also stated that he would like for Itshak to manage the books for his company. Itshak eventually went to work for Oskar Schindler once he opened up his business. Kingsley had roles in the movies, "Shutter Island", "Bugsy" and "Maurnce". In 1983, he won an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for the movie, "Gandhi". Other Oscar nominees for Best Actor in a Leading Role that year were Dustin Hoffman for "Tootsie", Jack Lemmon for "Missing", Paul Newman for "The Verdict" and Peter O'Toole for "My Favorite Year".

From Quiz The Battle of 'Schindler's List'

Answer: of Nazis: Schindler and Goeth

While there are scenes that focus on all these characters, the movie as a whole is told from the perspectives of Schindler and Goeth, both members of the Nazi Party. Portraying the Holocaust through the eyes of its perpetrators, rather than focusing solely on its victims, rankles many people. There are also complaints that the Jews are stereotyped and that Stern in particular is painted as a weak, emasculated character compared to the German Schindler. There is, however, no consensus: many argue that the Jewish characters are differentiated and well-drawn, and that anyone who argues that Stern is weak-willed has not seen the movie.

Answer: all the main characters survive the Holocaust

Although there has been criticism of the health of the actors and the fact that 'Schindler's List' is a movie, the main criticism here is that all the main characters survive. As a movie about survivors in a time when so many millions died, 'Schindler's List' dangerously depicts the Holocaust as less horrific than it actually was. However, a few major characters -- such as the elderly one-armed man and the boy who works for Goeth -- do die in the film, and most viewers find that the quantity of atrocity scenes obviously indicate that Schindler's Jews were the exception and not the rule of the Holocaust.

Answer: Levartov

From Quiz The Battle of 'Schindler's List'

Answer: never again

By telling its story from the perspective of two Nazis -- one who sacrificed everything to save Jews, and another who casually murdered them -- 'Schindler's List' forces viewers to examine what THEY would do. There is a tendency to view the Nazis as monsters of pure evil, but this is dangerous: they were humans, like us, and the things they did can and have been done again (by Pol Pot of Cambodia, for example). To view the Nazis as wholly separate, a historical fluke, is to wilfully ignore the historical lesson of the Holocaust. 'Schindler's List' is not as simplistic a film as its detractors make it out to be: it addresses a facet of Holocaust remembrance too often ignored by the media today. (As you may have guessed, I'm a defender of 'Schindler.')

From Quiz Who Played Me in "Schindler's List"?

Answer: Ralph Fiennes

Fiennes, born on December 22nd, 1962 in Ipswich, Suffolk, England landed the role of Amon Goeth. Amon was a Nazi officer first seen riding around in a car listening to someone tell him about the area where they were and he complained about how much he was freezing since the top to the car was down. Amon Goeth was then seen going to a concentration camp where many Jewish women lined up in front of him and he stated that one of them would be lucky. He stated there was a job opening at his new villa which would take one of them out of the grueling work which they were doing. He asked the women to raise their hands if they had domestic experience to which all of them raised their hands. Amon then stated he actually did not want someone else's maid as he would then have to undo many annoying habits. In many scenes throughout the movie, Amon was seen either killing Jewish people or watching them be killed by one of his officers. At the end of the movie, it was revealed that Amon Goeth had been sentenced to hanging due to many war crimes he committed against many Jews. Fiennes had roles in the films, "Maid in Manhattan", "The English Patient" and "The Reader". In 1994, he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for "Schindler's List" but lost to Tommy Lee Jones for "The Fugitive". Other Oscar nominees for Best Supporting Actor that year were Leonardo DiCaprio for "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", John Malkovich for "In the Line of Fire" and Pete Postlethwaite for "In the Name of the Father". In 2003, the American Film Institute ranked Amon Goeth as the fifteenth best movie villain/villainess out of fifty characters listed.
