Why Schindler’s List Is In Black & White (Then Switches To Color)
Schindler’s List switches between black-and-white and color during its 195-minute run time. Directed by Steven Spielberg, Schindler’s List follows Oskar Schindler, a business owner who joins the Nazi party, but ends up having a change of heart and saving 1,200 Jews from Nazi death camps by hiring them as Jewish labor for his business. Starring Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, and Ben Kingsley, this highly acclaimed World War II movie is regarded as one of the greatest cinematic portrayals of the Holocaust of all time.
