Movie Review Film And Co Produced By Steven Spielberg

The movie I have chosen for my movie review paper is Schindler s List. The film was directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg. The movie is American made but was filmed in Poland.

The plot shows how the Jews were stripped of their wealth, power, andShow MoreRelatedThe Movie I Have Chosen For My Review949 Words   |  4 Pages The movie I have chosen for my review paper is Schindler s List.
