Research - Schindler's List

Films similar to mine in terms of time setting and character wise. This is another way in which my film challenges particular social groups.

Schindler's List is an American 1993 biographical film about Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saved the lives of more than a thousand Polish Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories. The film was directed by Steven Speilburg and based on the novel Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally.

The film begins with the relocation of Polish Jews from surrounding areas to the Krakow Ghetto shortly after the beginning of ww2. (This film is similar to mine in terms of time setting and war.)

There is a scene in the film which I think is very similar to my film opening - which i did not realise before. It is the scene with the little girl in the red coat, therefore a similarity is that my opening film and Schindlers list both feature a young girl, although Schindlers list does not feature the young girl as the main character - they are very similar in terms of characters.

Schindler sees a little girl wearing a red coat. The red coat is one of the few instances of color in the black and white scenes of the film.Though the film is primarily shot in black and white, red is used to distinguish a little girl in a coat.
