Schindlers List

Oscar Schindler is a successful businessman who takes advantage of the situation during World War II. After witnessing the treatment of the Jews, his whole world is transformed. Steven Speilberg stays true to the story and does not sugar coat the massacres of the Holocaust in his film Schindler’s List. He manages to depict the brutality, fear, and helpless during this terrible time.

Goodfellas

Crime reporter Pileggi and film director Martin Scorsese teamed up to create a film based on Pileggi’s book Wiseguy. The story follows a mafia-mobster- turned-informant Henry Hill, and the film closely resembles the original book. Some parts are taken out, but more or less only the narrative structure was changed. Goodfellas is based on all of Pillegi’s reportings.
