I thought I was alone in my opinion of "List", but I find, encouragingly, that I'm not. There was no CHANGE in the character of Schindler thoughout the film, as far as I was concerned, he had no emotional characteristics and was driven by greed, sex and pure hedonism. His change ,so called, was melodramatic hogwash...and I had never seen so many well-fed people in a concentration camp. I was actually offended by the film...
