This is another one of those films from Common Sense which they lower the age range simply because it has very positive messages about the goodness of the human heart. Don't be fooled. This is a terrific and realistic portrayal of what happened to a large group of Jews during Nazi Germany. On that note, the violence is stark and hits very hard. It is often brutal, and the only color in the whole film other than the very beginning and end is blood. In some of the scenes, women and men are naked, being publicly humiliated because of their creed. The drinking and smoking is at an okay range, which is fine for a rated R audience. The bad guys are obviously bad, and the good good, so no problems there. It is obvious who the bad role models are, therefore there arn't any problems in that area. I'd recommend this film to anyone interested in great cinema, but children should definitely not watch this movie, along with no one under age 17.

There is another film coming out that relates to WWII called Iron Cross. It is actually Roy Scheider's final film. His character runs into the Nazi that killed his entire family, and together with his son, they set out to exact justice. It's going to be so good!! I downloaded the trailer and I can't wait for it to come out!!

This would be good movie if it did not have all the sex scenes or naked females. If I wanted to look at a naked female I would like at myself. I do not need it on my TV screen and in front of my children. It could've been just as gripping and powerful without the sex scenes. It stops the scenes from continuing and follow properly of the storyline and the educational purposes. I would not now or ever let my child see this movie unless the sex scenes are omitted from it. Some people think it was "cool" to see the naked scenes but that is or shouldn't be what you remember about this kind of movie. Poor judgment on all involved in making this movie about what happened in history. Poor movie to teach kids upon! This not age appropriate 17 and under should be 18 and older to view.

A wonderful portrayal of the bravery of one man- and how he saved many Jews from certain death!!! A MUST SEE!!!!

I watched Schindler's List in my senior high history class. It was a fair (and sad) portrail of the Haulocaust. I would reccomend this for older kids who realise the effect of this event on WW II.

This movie did have a bit of sexualized nudity..but the powerful messages the movie conveyed about what was right and true in the world outweigh the sexual moments. There is full frontal nudity of both males and females however it is not sexual in nature in anyway. This movie does have a great amount of violence, but it was the Holocaust. You can't sugarcoat that. The language was also very strong, but it was part of characterization, not just thrown in to make the movie funnier or more crude. Schindler's List is a movie where it really makes you think about what is right in the world and what lengths doing the right thing is worth going to. It's powerful message outweighs its negatives. In conclusion, you know your kid and what they can handle and what their maturity level is.

It's too morally simplistic and a little too mainstream to really be a masterpiece, but it is very, very good.

i recently saw this movie and have to say it is an excellent movie but for anyone under the age of 14 it is not for them. there is constant incredibly realistic violence. children are slaughtered and there are many disturbing scenes. there is also 2 scenes with full frontal nudity of male and females with exposed genitals, there is about 6 or 7 f words and there are a few sex scenes all with bare breasts. even so pick up this great award winner

this is a outstanding movie that everyone should see at some point, it will change you. We see jews being tortured shot at point blank range and it doesn't hold back it shows the harshest and worst of humans and you ask yourself how can anyone do such a thing. We see fantastic character development through Oskar Schindler and ull see also the kindness of humans. What age can handle it completely depends after i myself saw it doent want to have anything to do with WWII again in my life others might inspire them to learn more it just depends.

Schindler's List gives a lot of detail about the Holocaust and how much the Jews struggled. Although the language content is adult sometimes, it tells you alot of how cruely the Jews were treated. I thought it was a very great movie! Age to see it depends on how well you can handle it and it may be different for everybody.

This movie was simply amazing. I think that everyone should watch it at some point in their life but people under 13 or who are easily depressed should be warned that it is a very depressing movie. There are some iffy scenes but I think that most people can deal with them.

The sexual content in this movie is big there r about 5 sex scenes were u c womens breasts in all of them.The nudity was a huge matter in this movie there where the sex scenes.Then there is a inspection 2 c if u r healthy at the camp. In this inspection THERE IS COMPLETE FRONTAL NUDITY OF WOMEN AND MEN WHEN I SAY U C EVERYTHING I MEAN U LITTERALLY C EVERYTHING. Theres about 15 scenes of that. The violence was big to but not as big as the nudity.Peoples heads get blown off for simple mistakes,they also get shot just for the Natzi's fun.The language wasnt that very bad there were about nine uses of f**k. Overall it was a masterpiece but, it also shows how cruel the world can b sometimes. Iwould recommend this movie for 17 an older but i think i really mature 14 year old could watch it. This movie tells the tale of one of the darkest times in our history.

the reason I say it is ok for kids to see is because I mean jewish kids

absolutely spectacular, shows the true face of humanity's darkest hour. The Holocaust is truly one of worst things in history and this shows it and how it really was not sugar coated. Anyone who cares about the Holocaust should see this film if not this may be to powerful for you. P.S. Beware parents this movie was made for older audiences.

Do not ever let anyone under the age of 17 see this movie. My parents made a HUGE mistake in making me see it - we stopped it half way through. It is highly disturbing. I wanted to walk away at times. Dont watch. Not recomended viewing at all.

Schindler's List is a very very well made and powerful movie. It was extremely sad and intense, though, and definitely not for kids or young teens. I don't even think I should have seen it, I had to look away many times and it made me cry alot. If you are a sensitive teen or even a sensitive adult you may want to watch something else. It's a really great movie though.

Probably because I complained that CSM just posted the review on this classic the day I reviewed it. But that doesn't matter. Basically what I had said was that "Schindler's List" is, in short, one of the greatest and saddest movies ever made. THIS is Spielburg's masterpiece, along with "Saving Private Ryan." That's all I can say about the movie without both giving more away and going on and on. I do have a warning for viewing this movie on DVD however. When I watched it, about the last third is on the opposite side of the disc, so having to stop the film and flip it over can break the spell that the movie casts over you. Content wise, this is definitely not one for the kids. I'm actually a little surprised CSM gave it a 15 rather than a 17. There is a fair amount of nudity throughout the movie, both sexual and non, and there is also a sex scene with almost full on nudity (but this is relevant to the character of Schindler, as he was quite the womanizer). Left out in the language description, is the fact that there are about nine or so f-bombs and some other cussing covering all of the bases. As for violence, that is what really gave this movie the "R" rating. If you look on the DVD (this is not on CSM, but is true nonetheless), "List" is rated for ACTUALITY violence. And that's about the closest you can get to describing the violence in the movie. It is even more realistic than SPR, but obviously not as intense since that is not the point, but rather Spielburg wants to portray the horror of the Holocaust as realistically as possible. So I would check twice before showing this movie to your teens, even though I did watch it when I was 14, but I DID have to look away during the sensualized parts.
