Film lesson:schindleres list


Schindleres List was a hollywood version of Night and Fog. It was less graphic than Night and Fog but it still showed the main idea of the holocaust. It was sad when the children were looking for a place to hide and then the little boy had to hide inside where the people go to use the bathroom. None of the children wanted him to hide with him so he had no choice. That part really got to me because no child should have to gone through what he did. Also how they would trick the children to go on the trains. Then when the trains are leaving the parents would see them leaving and they knew where they were going and the children where just waving at their parents and that was probably the last time their parents saw them alive. The scene that would forever stay in my head is when the woman comes up to them and tells them that the building isnt going to last standing up because it was built wrong. Instead of believing her, they shoot her in the head. That scene reminds me of Saving Private Ryan when a solider sits down and takes out his helmet and right away he gets shot in the head. That was a scene i would never forget.
As i said in my last blog, Night and Fog was good in details in what happened but Schindleres list got to me with the scenes with the children. So that movie was good in explaining what the children went through during this time but Night and Fog should be seen if you want to see what really happened during the holocaust. Night and Fog has more graphic details though so it might be offensive to some people.
