   Schindler's List (1993)

   Amidst enthusiasm for the Nazi Party and its genocide, there
   was one Nazi businessman who helped 1,100 Jewish merchants and
   intellectuals-turned-factory-workers from the ovens.  Oskar Schindler's
   was a heroic act. It stands out not for its absolute heroism,
   however, but because of how most Germans didn't help. For the masses
   of Amerikans who know nothing of the Holocaust, Schindler's List
   may be educational. But those same masses participate in a system of
   violent, global subjugation, including genocide. Amerikans supported
   the mass slaughter of Vietnamese citizens, Iraqis, and many others,
   while hypocritically gasping at Nazi atrocities. And all the Jews
   on Schindler's List would have died anyway if millions of people
   (principally from the Soviet Red Army) had not died stopping Hitler's
   Eastern conquest. A fitting Amerikan eulogy to one benevolent
   capitalist who saved people by putting them to work in his factory.
