Except the events in both really happened, and at least in the case of Schindler's List (haven't seen Amistad) the film took very little license with historical fact. Try again.

Heck no. Both those movies were about fighting for the principle of human dignity. And Amistad did present the message that the way to fight slavery (and terrorism) was to send a warship to blow the slavers off the face of the earth.

But Spielberg aready has the lifetime PC award for Close Encounters of the Third Kind: the only character I liked in it was was the (supposedly) unsympathic wife of Roy, for her Female of the Species: to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail, kicking of his butt.

You consider "Schindler's List" politically correct? How so?
