Steven Spielberg’s Holocaust drama is filled with overwhelming horror, but its most emotionally piercing dramatic scene occurs at the very end. Having successfully saved over 1,100 Jews from the death camps, Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) prepares to flee as the war concludes.
Great scenes feature a dynamic internal arc. A character who starts the scene in total control may end it completely stripped of authority, altering the power dynamic of the entire film.
