Is what Spielberg and Schindler have in common money and ambition?

The Schindler’s List is a story that captures many aspects of the Holocaust. Steven Spielberg, as the director of the masterpiece, surly made a lot of money out of his successful film, and he also finally received the honour from the Oscar (Although I think some of his earlier work should receive one too). There are many interesting stories about the holocaust and WWII, and I wonder what attracted Spielberg to Schindler's story so much. Well, if you saw the film you can wonder my question is right or not: Is what Spielberg and Schindler have in common money and ambition?

Spielberg in my point of view is a great producer and business man. He knows how to make money, even for the Holocaust. I believe that is why Spielberg's so attracted to Schindler's character. Spielberg has also values as well, and it is said that most of what the Schindler’s List has earned Spielberg donated to the Holocaust foundation.

Schindler is presented as a business man, who is interested in making money - actually a war profiteer. But something changes in his heart, Schindler learns slowly that the Nazi ideology is stupid and evil, and he goes on a process through the film of purging himself out of this ideology. He starts to care for "his Jewish workers", and by the end of the film he even cries, not for the loss of money, but for the life he could not have saved. There are many scenes in this film, created in detail, through the help of survivor's testimonies. Some of them are extremely violent or contain nudity. Those scenes, which are shot brilliantly, are required for realism and I really like them, as I believe that such appalling violence is reserved only in film and not in our life.

Schindler's List is a fantastic movie as a visual experience one should not miss, as it helps you grasp the horror and violence of the Nazis. Since Hollywood has  controlled the world market of cinema, this movie is a breakthrough, bringing the story of the holocaust to the whole world. If you have not view it, my suggestion is see it noon!
