Today's New York Times has an interesting article about a new biography of Oskar Schindler that paints a decidedly more complex portrait of the man than Spielberg's film. Not that it makes the thrust of Schindler's List any less valid - in fact it seems to make his actions even more amazing. It's just a good example of how complicated historical figures can be and how even the best Hollywood treatment of them seldom gets beyond the surface.
