Schindler's List/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff|Germans Love Schindler's List]]: While the film didn't do poorly anywhere, Germans (understandably) liked the sympathetic portrayal of a German in a Holocaust movie that nevertheless portrayed the overall monstrosity of the Nazi regime and condemned its actions in no uncertain terms. There was an uproar the first time the film was to be broadcast on German television when the network announced that it would take two commercial breaks; in the end, the network agreed to show only one break, with only a few ads and a short newscast. Today, the film is always broadcast uncut with no breaks.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: At least ironic in Hindsight. Goeth lectures his men before an Aktion.

** A beind-the-scenes example is more straightforward; at one point [[Mel Gibson]] expressed interest in playing Schindler.

* [[Hype Backlash]]: It is VERY popular on review websites such as [[IMDb]] to bash this film for being cloying, melodramatic and [[Reality Is Unrealistic|unrealistic]], or simply [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks|just too well liked.]] Extra points of it's being criticized by a [[Hate Dumb|Neo]][[Those Wacky Nazis|-Nazi]]
