Anyone who is of sufficient age and doesn’t realize that Raiders of the Lost Ark is a pathetic revenge fantasy needs to have their eyes examined.
How so?
The main character is utterly useless and nothing he does matters.
God is real and is an interventionist god who can (and does) fuck with mortal humans; he just won't intervene to help anyone, especially the Jews.
Strange I have watched all the popular films released in the 90's even the Spillberg's films yet I avoided Schindler's List because I didn't like the tone of the film it has, that woe is me sob story. Maybe that's why I guess I don't hold back when it comes to criticising jews.
It's one of the premier Oscar Bait films, and what all the others based in WWII follow.
How can a documentary be a sob story? Its shown fully uncensored on primetime because its a true story, unlike works of fiction.
How do you make a documentary about something that never happened?
Documentaries don't magically just form out of nothingness. You have to specifically choose to make them, and with that is a cause and reason to pick one story out of the infinite others available in history.
In this case, the cause was a Jewish sob story to create a guilty conscious in those who watched it, or simply to make you sad in general.

Spielbergs' movies post 80s are almost all nothing more than message movies. "Boomer Ideology" really got its start in the late 60s counter culture movies, where cinema became not so much about entertainment but about idealism and propagating THE MESSAGE and Spielberg was falling right in line.
Some of these examples are pretty forced, tho. Poltergeist had one of the first on screen appearances of pot smoking parents as if it was perfectly normal. ET - single parent family with not one mention of dad. (Though that's a typical Disney trope by Walt himself)
I've been in the industry and there's very much this self-righteous strain of "I must use this tool for good and enlighten the masses!" and so the B plot will be my homily. (looking at you Star Trek Next Generation)
The 50s and 60s were woke in their own way - but their stories were about infiedlity and adultery and cracking down the family unit. (See Airport 1970 for an indepth look at THAT)
