Abstract:
Commends Spielberg's film, but notes that he has departed from Keneally's book about Schindler in many details. Keneally's Schindler was a complex person with both noble and base traits (as was the real Schindler), whereas Spielberg smoothed out his character at both extremes. Thus, Spielberg transformed Keneally's book from historical novel to historical fable about choosing goodness and heroism.
