What left the deepest impression on me was the look in the window of Oscar Schindler, played by Liam Neeson towards the end of the film, as he slowly drove away in the presence of his own factory workers. It was a look of pity. . There were still a little tears in the corners of his eyes, because of the remorse that "I could have done more" he said emotionally before, because of the proof letter and ring signed by all the workers when they parted, and because He knew it might be a goodbye forever. In that slow-moving slow motion, the deep compassion revealed in his eyes silently conveys the purpose of the whole film. This is where the best in the world is, and it is also a meaningful gaze on life.

These dozens of seconds of staring directly hit my heart, and this film, which is no longer unfamiliar to me, shocked me more than ever before.
