Schindler’s List, Emotionally Draining That’s Pretty Much It

Oh my god…. oh my god, have some tissues in fact have a whole 2 boxes of them trust me you’ll need them, never has a film emotionally drained me before oh scrap that The Notebook made me cry (not ashamed to admit it) but this film good god, this is the cake topper for most emotional film ever, for those who don’t know Schindler’s List stars Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler a German businessman who saves thousands of Jewish workers during the Second World War by making them work in his factory.

The film as a whole is three hours long which to some people may seem boring and dull but for those who like a good historic war film give this a go, the three hours fly by and we see some pretty gruesome and horrific things during this, not to mention the infamous little girl in the red jacket scene, which just happens to be the only time the film shows any colour, the acting is amazing and John William’s soundtrack is beautiful, just give the main theme a go and tell me that the violin doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, the film also stars Ralph Fiennes as a ruthless and brutal Nazi officer who shoots people with a sniper rifle from his balcony.

Trust me his character is just the most cruel and really harsh when dealing out punishments, for instance he shoots his architect for having to tear down a building and starting from scratch, he then gets his guards to shoot her. He then drags a factory worker in to the courtyard and attempts to shoot him for not producing enough locks, some scenes are almost unwatchable like the siege at the Krakow Ghetto where the Jewish are brutally shot and killed in their homes… yeah I told you it’s not a pretty film.

This has to be up there with Steven Spielberg’s greatest films he has ever made it’s heartbreaking and emotional, especially the part at the end where you see the actual people Schindler saved next to the people who played them, final score 10/10 it’s emotionally draining as I said and believe me once them credits roll trust me you will not have a dry eye at all anyway here’s the main theme, give this a listen to oh and there’s an amazing quote said by one of the characters “whoever saves one life, saves the world entire” https://youtu.be/VorGotjeLjM

American Made An Unbelievable True Story

I love a film based on a true story whether it be a horror or based on someone I love them, American Made is one of those films where you have to do a double take scratch your head and say “no way this can’t be true” so let’s start off with telling the story of who this is based of off.

Barry Seal is a normal pilot who is hired by the C.I.A to take pictures of rebel bases in South America, there he meets ruthless Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar he then becomes a drug runner for the Medellin Cartel dropping off cocaine in the swamplands of Louisiana, he then starts working for the D.E.A… so to recap on things so far, this guy was working for three people the good guys the C.I.A the bad guys the Medellin Cartel and the D.E.A not to mention he was wanted by them also, what’s more unbelievable is the fact that he kept on getting arrested and after court cases after court cases was let off Scott free.

So I’m assuming you’ve kept up if you have good if you haven’t… well go see the film, the movie is action packed, there’s comedy in it as well, it’s a fun wtf film and it will leave you thinking how on earth did he get away with it so many times, like seriously Seal was arrested five maybe ten times and kept on getting let off free, every time he got arrested I thought okay he’s surly gotta go to prison now, and every time the judge said “nope your free to go” I was shocked and scratching my head.

Do yourself a favour and go see this film it’s brilliant Tome Cruise is amazing in this film as is Domnhall Gleeson who plays Schaefer the C.I.A agent who hires Barry at the start of the film, final rating 10/10 it’s funny, it’s unbelievable in some places but all in all it’s a great movie all together but until next time guys catch ya later
