10.

While I totally get some of the moral concerns people have with the dramaturgy of the film (specifically the shower scene), I think the film ultimately has its artistic and moral intentions in alignment.

One of the more interesting critical thought pieces on this movie I've read came from Paul Verhoeven (www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/schindler-s-missers~b7bd52c4/) who compares the construction of Schindler's List to Jaws.
