3. Movie: Schindler's List
I know we would like to say, " Oh, it is just a movie it is not important." However, I disagree. While documentaries and non-fictional accounts may be the most accurate way to understand history, often the best way to capture the true emotional weight of
historical events is to portray them dramatically. For centuries humans have been setting their dramas in the past in order to show
people how past events shape their lives in the present. And, from the
dramas of Shakespeare to the best historical movies of the modern era,
most of us feel truly connected to the past by immersing ourselves in
fictionalized stories more so than straightforward factual reports.
So...not just a movie and opportunity to live a few hours in the past and experience what may of happened from a bird's eye view.
