FILM REVIEWED BY DONNA DEAL, a reader of The IntrovertZCoach

I believe that Steven Speilberg is an introvert (most directors are...) because of the content of many of his films:for example- "ET," Elliot is an introverted child whose odd ways are not questioned because of his personality- that's how he manages to hide the ET. And love finds a way. Odd to think of this introverted director cranking out the action-packed Indiana Jones films, but think about it: Jones himself is an introvert -- archeology is a solitary occupation; all the interruptions of others in his life (in the films) annoy him.

Spielberg's masterpiece is Schindler's List. This is a feast for introverts: the remembering, the introspection, the undying hope, the music, the visuals -- introverts are completely touched and moved. Most extroverts can't sit still long enough to get the full impact.

Schindler's List portrays the horrendous experience of the holocast through the eyes of Stern (Ben Kingsley), Oskar Schindler's accountant, trying to survive the introverted way. Schindler himself is an introvert who has learned to play the game of power, and has a "conversion" experience during his time of employing Jews in his munitions factory.Schindler finds himself pulled into the lives of the oppressed, imprisoned Jews in his factory. Powerful. He undergoes a full transformation as he begs for forgiveness from the people he used, and even then is given a full measure of grace. Even the music in this film stirs the introvert spirit.

This is the incredible spiritual film that changes lives in a way that Mel Gibson couldn't touch in his Passion of the Christ, NOT a film for introverts. Much too disturbing....
