Who is Noah Berlatsky? When Steven Spielberg says 'Schindler's List' is more relevant than ever,

this opinionated buffoon thinks it isn't.

Here is an excerpt where he draws his conclusions:

"But rewatching “Schindler’s List” right now, what’s most striking isn’t its relevance, but its uselessness. The movie offers platitudes rather than analysis, and reassurance rather than much-needed warnings. It’s meant to fortify us against hatred, but instead, it inadvertently explains why, despite our veneration for Holocaust narratives, we remain so vulnerable to fascism."
