ok, Spiellberg likes films with happy endings. Schindler's List has a kind of happy ending, so what? ...just what is so wrong about film the 200 Jews who lived? Why is their story so unworthy to have a movie made of it?
What part of 6 million dead do you not understand?
understand it quite clearly. Spielberg didn't whitewash the holocaust. He showed the horrors of a lot of it. But he wasn't telling the story of the holocaust, he was telling the story of Schindler and the jews that he saved.
But as I've alluded to already Spielberg chose that story out of all the others because he could make a holocaust film which fitted into his idiom.
Serving his career arch rather than the story itself.
