To give a historical feel, obviously. And possibly also to artistically set the mood of a bleak, colorless world of the concentration camps, and to hint that these characters face a life when morality exists in shades of gray, not just a stark black and white, right and wrong.

I always thought it was so that the little girl with the red coat could be easily determined as a major role in Schindler's decision to create a list.
Besides, it was very artistic and could easily be jumbled along with other holocaust movies had it not been for the use of black and white film. If the film was in color and audiences actually saw the amount of bleeding and sweat that occured, some may make light of it as they would other genres. Black & white film, to me, shows importance and class.

Disagree- Schindler's record is an astounding action picture and is sometimes at #a million for me. Many Martin Scorsese's works are astounding too and a pair approach the first position.

I choose Pulp Fiction BBA- Shawshank Redemption Million greenback infant driving omit Daisy BBBA- Saving inner most Ryan the fairway Mile Forrest Gump BBBBA- both are in excellent 25

Janusz Kaminski’s thoughtful black-and-white cinematography helps evoke the time and places portrayed. Michael Kahn’s editing makes the movie move at lightning speed, so that by the time its three-plus hours are over we scarcely realize how long we have been watching. And John Williams’ poetic score -- combined with judicious use of other music, including Billie Holiday, Mozart, and traditional Jewish songs -- adds layers of meaning to the story.

Spielberg,in my opioin, wanted to use black and white to recreate the black and white films of the forties. Becouse his subject matter takes place during world war 2

Because black and white is engraved into the human brain faster. Since they wanted to give a direct message, then that's the perfect approach.

i think that the black and white adds to the stark reality of the movie.
it wouldn't have nearly the same impact if it was filmed in color.

I don't think you'd want to see alot of those things in that film in colour, it reminds us it's in the past.

from an artist standpoint, black and white has more of an impact. It shows events for what they are, and not all dolled up and glamoured by color.
