Schindler's List premiered on November 30, 1993, in Washington, D.C., and was released on December 15, 1993, in the United States. Often listed among the greatest films ever made,[4][5][6][7] the film received universal acclaim for its tone, acting (particularly Neeson, Fiennes, and Kingsley), atmosphere, score, cinematography, and Spielberg's direction; it was also a box office success, earning $322.2 million worldwide on a $22 million budget. It was nominated for twelve awards at the 66th Academy Awards, and won seven, including Best Picture, Best Director (for Spielberg), Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Score. The film won numerous other awards, including seven BAFTAs and three Golden Globe Awards. In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked Schindler's List 8th on its list of the 100 best American films of all time. The film was designated as "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress in 2004 and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
In Kraków during World War II, the Nazis force local Polish Jews into the overcrowded Kraków Ghetto. Oskar Schindler, a German Nazi Party member from Czechoslovakia, arrives in the city, hoping to make his fortune. He bribes Wehrmacht (German armed forces) and SS officials, acquiring a factory to produce enamelware. Schindler hires Itzhak Stern, a Jewish official with contacts among black marketeers and the Jewish business community; he handles administration and helps Schindler arrange financing. Stern ensures that as many Jewish workers as possible are deemed essential to the German war effort to prevent them from being taken by the SS to concentration camps or killed. Meanwhile, Schindler maintains friendly relations with the Nazis and enjoys his new wealth and status as an industrialist.
As the Germans begin losing the war, Göth is ordered to ship the remaining Jews at Płaszów to Auschwitz concentration camp. Schindler asks Göth for permission to move his workers to a munitions factory he plans to build in Brünnlitz near his hometown of Zwittau. Göth reluctantly agrees but charges a huge bribe. Schindler and Stern prepare a list of people to be transferred to Brünnlitz instead of Auschwitz. The list eventually includes 1,100 names.
Stephen Schiff of The New Yorker called it the best historical drama about the Holocaust, a film that "will take its place in cultural history and remain there."[85] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film four stars out of four and described it as Spielberg's best, "brilliantly acted, written, directed, and seen."[86] Ebert named it one of his ten favorite films of 1993.[87] Terrence Rafferty, also with The New Yorker, admired the film's "narrative boldness, visual audacity, and emotional directness." He noted the performances of Neeson, Fiennes, Kingsley, and Davidtz as warranting special praise,[88] and calls the scene in the shower at Auschwitz "the most terrifying sequence ever filmed."[89] In the 2013 edition of his Movie and Video Guide, Leonard Maltin awarded the picture a four-out-of-four-star rating; he described the movie as a "staggering adaptation of Thomas Keneally's best-seller ... with such frenzied pacing that it looks and feels like nothing Hollywood has ever made before ... Spielberg's most intense and personal film to date".[90] James Verniere of the Boston Herald noted the film's restraint and lack of sensationalism, and called it a "major addition to the body of work about the Holocaust."[91] In his review for The New York Review of Books, British critic John Gross said his misgivings that the story would be overly sentimentalized "were altogether misplaced. Spielberg shows a firm moral and emotional grasp of his material. The film is an outstanding achievement."[92] Mintz notes that even the film's harshest critics admire the "visual brilliance" of the fifteen-minute segment depicting the liquidation of the Kraków ghetto. He describes the sequence as "realistic" and "stunning".[93] He points out that the film has done much to increase Holocaust remembrance and awareness as the remaining survivors pass away, severing the last living links with the catastrophe.[94] The film's release in Germany led to widespread discussion about why most Germans did not do more to help.[95]
Schindler's List featured on a number of "best of" lists, including the TIME magazine's Top Hundred as selected by critics Richard Corliss and Richard Schickel,[4] Time Out magazine's 100 Greatest Films Centenary Poll conducted in 1995,[149] and Leonard Maltin's "100 Must See Movies of the Century".[5] The Vatican named Schindler's List among the most important 45 films ever made.[150] A Channel 4 poll named Schindler's List the ninth greatest film of all time,[6] and it ranked fourth in their 2005 war films poll.[151] The film was named the best of 1993 by critics such as James Berardinelli,[152] Roger Ebert,[87] and Gene Siskel.[153] Deeming the film "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant", the Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2004.[154] The film was shown at the Berlinale Film Festival in February 2023, at which Spielberg received an honorary Golden Bear award.[155]
Today it's been exactly 2 years since I started playing the violin and I'm so excited about it! One year ago I posted ( ) a recording of my playing on this forum and I received lots of suggestions to improve my playing. It was very helpful to me! I've worked hard with all your suggestions and here is the result one year later.Now I would love to ask for your suggestions again. My new recording is of the Schindler's List theme which I found pretty difficult and I realize there is a lot of room for improvement, of course. Based on this recording, is it possible to give me some feedback as to what repertoire and technique I should focus on in my next year of learning the violin?Here is my recording: so much!!

Gautam Edited: June 3, 2017, 12:04 AM Intonation errors are prominent especially when you perform the shifts. Remember that if you get your shifting wrong, then all of the following notes are gonna take a hit. It is like the domino effect. Try playing scales (3 octaves) with a tone generator in the background. This will help improve your intonation. The distance between the intervals get smaller and smaller as you go up the fingerboard. So, you will need to adjust the placement of your fingers accordingly. You could also improve the quality of your vibrato. Try to do a slower vibrato(on each of your fingers) with a metronome and increase the speed gradually. Do this everyday as a warmup and you will be amazed by the results. Most of all, you need to play this piece more expressively and sustain the relevant notes when required. You seem to play a bit faster. Your bow grip isn't perfect either. Honestly, you need to get a teacher if you want to get serious. Asking online for suggestions on technique and repertoire won't help.P.S. This is just my suggestion and please don't get me wrong.
Fox MitchellJune 3, 2017, 1:40 AM Congratulations on the 2nd year of playing! :)
Do you have a teacher or are you learning on your own?
Eva SavelsbergJune 3, 2017, 5:17 AM Congrats for being so dedictated! And congrats for being so brave to post a video!
Did you ever practice with drones? That might help you with intonation.

Steve SchuchJune 3, 2017, 5:27 AM Congratulations indeed! It's a wonderful thing to take on the challenge of learning violin at any age, and especially as an adult. I think you're doing great for two years into the adventure. The fact that you feel the music pulling inside you is the most important thing. Learning to let it out is the life journey. I'm still learning something every day after playing for 50 years. There's nothing shallow about these waters.I would also encourage you to find some way to arrange for in-person lessons with a real teacher. Even if it means making a weekend trip once a month. Or possibly taking part in one of the many summer music camps. You'd have a blast playing with other people, as well as the individual lessons.So much of learning music isn't by words. It's how a teacher listens to you. It's how they then play a line, or perform a shift, or shape a phrase, in a way you start to absorb. It's getting to play together with someone else, and hearing your sound blend with theirs. It's how your own listening develops. It's how a teacher can guide you from where you are to where you want to go. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
Helen SmitJune 3, 2017, 11:06 AM I can not give any more advice than what is already given. That being said, Mariko you are so encouraging. Please keep posting updates. Viotti 23 might be good for you next if you have not already done it.
Mariko BarraJune 4, 2017, 11:27 PM Thanks so much for your replies and feedback! I will continue to work on improving my intonation especially when shifting.Thank you Ella Yu for your encouraging words!! That really helps :-) I will work with your feedback. I will look into what happens when I do string crossings because I often hit other strings. It's especially happening the last two weeks since now I have a new violin and the bridge is slightly shaped different from the one I had on my old violin. resulting in hitting the other strings more often. I will pay attention to this and hope to avoid it soon. :-) I will also try your suggestion for starting a note. Thanks a lot!Thanks so much Helen for your repertoire suggestion. It sounds wonderful! But I looked up the sheet music and I think it's still much to difficult for me (especially the fast passages). The concerto I learned most recently is Vivaldi Concerto in A minor (and I didn't play it at full speed). Then I focused a lot on shifting and learned Schindler's List. So I feel like I'm not ready for Viotti 23. What do you think?Any other repertoire suggestions for me?
Eva SavelsbergJune 5, 2017, 12:41 AM Have a look at this one. I think we are somewhere around the same level. My teacher suggested it. I thought it's quite a challenge but it is manageable and fun. IMHO a lot easier to pull off nicely than the Schindler theme.
=y18i1ctkBOcI listened to the Viotti and thought as well no way I could do it in any foreseeable time.
Mariko BarraEdited: June 5, 2017, 9:41 PM Hi Eva, that seems a great suggestion. I just listened to it and I like it very much! I'm now revisiting an other concerto by Rieding (concerto in B minor Op 35). After that I think I will start learning the one you linked to. Thanks for the tip!!
Helen SmitJune 5, 2017, 2:02 PM Mariko, if you looked at it and you were intimidated, wait on it. That is fine. The Rieding concertos, like Eva suggested, I think would be great for you.
Vanessa GouwEdited: June 5, 2017, 2:59 PM Hello Mariko, My salutation and thank you for sharing your progress. I am sure you enjoy playing it! :) I think you will be able to play another concerto of Rieding which is opus 21I have not found Rieding A minor opus 32. I only know Rieding opus 35, in B minor. Good luck on your journey! googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1445120547957-0'); );
Mariko BarraJune 5, 2017, 9:40 PM Thanks Helen, yes I will enjoy the Rieding concertos. :-)@Vanessa, you're right. I'm sorry I mixed up the numbers, the one I'm revisiting is Rieding opus 35 in B minor. It's fun to play!
Eva SavelsbergJune 5, 2017, 10:05 PM I also liked Elgar Chanson de Matin a lot. I picked it but my teacher agreed. It is graded higher but I did not have too many difficulties with it.
It is slow with a lot of tone.

jean dubuissonJune 6, 2017, 3:07 PM hi Mariko, for 2 years self-taught this is really wonderful, congratulations. You have a good feeling for where the notes are on the fingerboard. That is very important. In that aspect you clearly have a talent for the violin. The main aspects I would suggest you work on next are playing fast (but still clean), and improving bowing. Best wishes!
Sung HanEdited: June 6, 2017, 3:25 PM Congratulations on your progress. Actually Schindler's List is a wonderful but difficult piece to play well. My suggestion would be (1) play slower, focusing on each note, and (2) shift more carefully. Also listen to professional recording while paying attention to detail. Perlman's performance is the de facto standard for this piece, but my personal favorite is Chloe Hanslip's:
=bTQQIQcPv-ICompared to Schindler, Rieding's B minor concerto is much more straightforward and easy, although the latter is faster. This is just an anecdote, but my daughter could play Rieding reasonably well (for a student) after two years. However, it took her additional 5-6 years to play an enjoyable Schindler.Enjoy the journey.
Mariko BarraJune 8, 2017, 1:35 PM Thanks for your replies and suggestions for pieces. I will work on playing faster and improve my bowing. That's why I am studying Rieding's Concerto again. It's easier indeed but that way I can focus more on the bowing and playing clean instead of on the notes. I'm having lots of fun with it. :-)
Jamie Smith June 10, 2017, 7:36 AM Wow. You got to this stage as an adult learner within two years? That's awesome. It gives me hope.
Mariko BarraJune 11, 2017, 12:17 AM Thanks so much Jamie Smith, that is wonderful to read!! And very encouraging for me too! So I guess you just started recently? I wish you lots of good luck and I hope you will enjoy learning the violin as much as I do. :-)))
Bailey TincherJune 11, 2017, 7:13 AM Clearly you've been working very hard at this, and congratulations! It appears as though you may tense up a bit and lose a bit of the rhythm of the piece. Slow practice and concentration on a metronome should help with this. Keep up the good work, you're doing great!
Mariko BarraJune 11, 2017, 12:23 PM Hi Bailey, thanks a lot for your comments. :-) I will practice with metronome. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1548883144385-0'); ); This discussion has been archived and is no longer accepting responses.
