Complete screenplay of the film including all 264 scenes. The first version released in 1990 in which minor changes were later made until the final text was released in theaters in 1993.
The film Schindler's List tells the true story of German industrialist Oskar Schindler, who during the Holocaust worked to save the lives of many Jews from the Nazi extermination machine. Director Steven Spielberg originally wanted to make Schindler's List as a television movie, but he failed to secure the necessary funding, and even later recounted that he initially hesitated to direct Schindler's List because he felt the subject was too difficult to digest. British film actor Liam Neeson who plays the role of Oskar Schindler in the film did not speak German before the start of filming, and he learned the language for the role in the film. Ralph Fiennes, who plays Amon Goeth, the Nazi commander of Plaszow, also learned to speak with a German accent for the role. The film was shot in Poland itself over six months and many of the characters chosen to play as extras in it (the passive actors) were Holocaust survivors themselves. It is worth noting that director Steven Spielberg refused to accept payment for his directing, and he donated his profits to the Shoah Foundation, an organization engaged in collecting and preserving oral testimonies of Holocaust survivors. The film was shot in black and white, and in Poland itself, out of Spielberg's desire to shoot in the places where the events themselves took place. It is considered one of the most important films ever made, commemorating the memory of the Holocaust and bringing the difficult events of the Holocaust to the awareness of millions around the world. The film was nominated for twelve Academy Awards and won seven, including Best Picture, Best Director (Steven Spielberg) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Steven Zaillian).
