I have one thing to say to the Chicago Suns-Times about the first sentence: LIGHTEN UP. It's a parody. Thomas Keneally (author of "Schindler's List") said himself that Schindler wouldn't have broken down like he did at the end of the film. That was done for the film exclusively and wasn't based on fact. That's what made Seinfeld the other night all the more funny. It seemed like it was making fun of the writers of Schindler's List for adding in that part for the emotional impact of the film. I'm still pretty angry with Spielberg's "how-much- merchandising-can-we-get-out-of-this-film" approach to Jurassic Park, so maybe I'm a bit biased in this area.
