Some people are commenting on them "missing some key points" or their "lack of education."
I am a 41 year old Jewish American, who lost second and third elder cousins before I was born to the Holocaust. I admired the sincerity of their reaction, and think they did a great job. Perhaps they missed some context, but whatever....I fully appreciated their honesty.
They understood the impact and the horrors of the persecution and Schindlers efforts to help the Jews. That is what mattered.
I wonder which country they are from.. because in many Islamic nations it is standard national policy to deny the holocaust.. now, that's forced thinking by their govts and imans. Most of the citizens know it happened.. but to say so outloud can get you a visit by the religious enforcement squad.. and you definitely don't want that. Punishment can be whipping.. or much worse under more hardline regimes
Exactly. It's not important whether they know the smaller details of the Holocaust; what's important is their empathy towards the victims and strong commitment to never allow something like this to ever happen again.
exactly I’m sure if we watched things from their history we would lose some cultural context
They got the important parts. The first time I watched this movie I didn't get all the important parts either. Granted I was 10 years old at the time or so, but considering we didn't get educated on World War II until we were 11/12 years old I don't find that all that strange. All I knew came from the yearly commemoration of the dead that we hold in my country, to remember the fallen of the war. Imho their knowledge is somewhat on that level. I don't mean that in a negative way at all, I'm just saying it's normal to not know all the nuances and details if you don't have all the facts.
My grandfather was part of the Third Army under General Patton when Buchenwald concentration camp was liberated. He never talked about what he saw there to anyone in the family except to say,”I didn’t know people could do that to other people.”
My grandfather may have served alongside yours from the UK and was also under Patton. He was of the same mind set he talked to me very briefly about it before passing away in 98, and I will not disclose the conversation. Still, I knew he was trying to make peace with the idea that he had a long life even though he had served in WW2 and wanted to pass on his experience to one grandchild, so they carried the ideas and ideals he fought for.
I've seen this film and watched it objectively even, so it proved there were still good Germans in Germany and not all of them toed the line with the Nazis. We know Schindler did not save them entirely intentionally at first, but he obviously began to realize how wrong the Nazis had been and that what they had been doing was horrific and by the end of the film he understood he had done a good deed.
My great uncle was on the Red Ball Express in Europe. He came home, burned his uniform, and refused to talk about any of it. All we've been able to piece together was that he helped liberate at least one concentration camp, though we don't know which one. Whatever he saw must have been highly traumatic b/c he never talked about, wanted nothing to do with the army anymore.
The sad part is, we had already done it to the Native Americans with shit like the Trail of Tears. Been said many times that we inspired the final solution with our treatment of black people and Natives.
@@direravendenial8947 I hope that you will one day write it down or tell your own child/grandchild about it. Knowledge is the most powerful tool we could have, and with the rise of nazisme and antisemitism in Europe right now, it's important that we remind people of the horrors committed before. After WW1, they said "never again". Just over 30 years later, WW2 happened. Again, we said "we will never let this happen again".
My great-grandpa was fighting in the resistance (maquis) during WW2, and my grandpa was 7 years old at the end of the war. My grandpa is still alive, yet here we are back at where they were shortly before WW2. "Never again" we said, but less than a lifetime later and we're back at it. People are forgetting how it was, and while the racists and nazis are doing lots of damage of course, enticing hate and all, it's important to remember that what also killed the Jews was the inaction from the population. People knew Jews were sent to concentration camps to be tortured and die, even though they might not have known the extent of it, they did know enough and still turned a blind eye to it all.
Although I know it might be hard to believe, I was a Jewish teenage girl in my previous life, and died in the Warsaw ghetto uprising of 1943. I have had nightmares of it for as long as I can remember, and it is just atrocious. Yet the worst feeling was to know we were going to die, barricaded in those "houses", because nobody cared about us. The Warsaw uprising was done in part to protest the inaction of foreign countries, and the blind eye people turned away from their suffering neighbours. When I saw this movie for the first time at around age 21-22, it took me literal hours to watch it in its entirety because it all was so much like the real thing, and I had to stop every few minutes to cry. So yes, I do hope you will share the story at some point. Do not let the suffering of past people be forgotten, and do not let the cruelty and errors of others be forgotten either, because history repeats itself.
Maybe you should read about what the US did to two million German POW's, after the war ended. A good place to start would be to read a book by James Bacque called, "Other Losses"
Actual survivors of that camp say Ralph Fiennes character, Amon Goeth, was actually 10x worse than what is portrayed in the film. That being said Fiennes portrayed him so well that a survivor fainted and had a panic attack when meeting him in his costume for the first time.
Yes, he was very cruel. In the city where events took place - Kraków, there is a new museum- KL PŁaszów, Kraków Płaszów former war camp. There is place there called "red house". From windows of this building he would shot people to death at random, just for fun and to keep everyone in the camp terrorized. His Polish servant would in secret write down each and every such death and the fact that museum exists commerotaing all those people is partly due to his secret work at risk of losing his own life. I have encountered only one witness defending Amon Goeth after was as "not being such a monster as depicted". His former mistress. Who till her death reamined "nazi by conviction". She stayed in Krkaów briefly and would choose both people for him to choose as well as his maidens to clean the red house whom he would like to mistreat both physically and mentally. As we know from historic records. But to be objective, yes, someone, his personal lover after WWII at least once spoke in his defense claiming that he was much more gentle natured man than we think nowadays he is. Personally I have my doubts about it for the reasons I have mentioned earlier. BUt it would not surprised me if some Germans would feel otherwise since his German lover published some book or a diary about him in his defense or something. Not sure. I have never read this one. Only did some research on that lady since she was featured on some pictures from the camp as a "female private guest sunbathing near the red house".
Amon Goeth was under arrested by the Germans for imbezeling funds from the camp.
Potentially he was facing the death penalty. If Shindler knew he was embezzling, it would explain how he was able to get away with what he did.
One wonders why any Holocaust survivor would subject themselves to meeting someone in a Nazi uniform.
For sure, he was likely one of the worst nazis and "human" in history.
The part of the movie where Schindler breaks down, because he could have saved one more person - that always makes me cry. Fantastic film.
mee too
Same here
The ignorant and the racists, really need to sit down and watch all of the videos on this channel and see how all these guys talk and carry themselves, they are nothing but respectful and have so much wisdom and say some of the most inspiring things. They are true gents with nothing but love for everybody they react to.
They have wisdom I can only dream of obtaining. I love them two!
@@cathalorourke1I think what he is saying is that people who are racist believe that people of a different race don't feel or think like they do when in fact they can be just as compassionate or in this case, even more compassionate bc they have that love for fellow humans without the thought of racial prejudice
@@00Fiddlesticks00 Or, he is a typical leftist, starting each argument/discussion accusing the other side of being racist/Nazi/homophobe... etc. Tactic straight out of Rules for Radicals.
@@cathalorourke1 I absolutely did not say there was. Read my comment again properly and slowly. I was referring to the ones in general
Some people have to complain, always. They are unhappy, unworldly, disgruntled humans.
Fascinating watch. These gentlemen came with almost a blank canvas but showed a very deep understanding and sympathy for the plight of Europes Jews of the time. The shared humanity on display is nothing less than heartwarming. Thanks for uploading.
It's always interesting to see how different cultures view things, fresh eyes
"I could have got more out." In the end, Oskar redeemed himself and saved so many, but his only thought was that he hadn't done enough. RIP Herr Schindler, may your name be sung through the ages as an example of the good of humanity.
@@JK-xt7roExplain yourself.
@@JK-xt7ro Really? People like you are doomed to repeat history.
@@omi685 There are a few people on YT that still hate the Red Sea pedestrians. I don't really get it. They tend to think the holocaust was exaggerated at best, and they despise that particular group and believe they are behind most of the ills in the world. Usually they cite prominent members of the group in high places as proof, e.g. Soros (who I'm no fan of either, but not because of his ethnicity), and big bankers etc.
I thought personally that was the worst part of the movie and was very out of character for Schindler. It was not necessary, but I think the director wanted to push out some extra emotion.
@@Rpol_404 They are gagging to repeat it.
I flew from the US to the Philippines some months back and was in Qatar for 16 hours. The respect and love I felt from everyone there was humbling. I spent many hours talking to an elderly woman from Tehran, Iran. She taught me so many lessons about family and love. I will never forget her. I sat next to an older couple from Lebanon on a plane for 14 hours. They don't speak a word of English but I helped them during the flight on how to use the tv on the back of the seats and helped them get the food they like and coffee the way they liked. We communicated perfectly without knowing each other's languages. I learned that all the problems in the world aren't because of people. It's because of the media and our govts. I discovered that I respect Muslim people. They are as beautiful as the best of humanity. We are all the same. If evil exists it's in the corruption of govts and the media
🤪
Exactly. That’s why people need to travel and talk to others. We usually find that they are just like us, with little differences. We need to stop letting those in power dictate what we do to each other! ☮️♥️
What he said at the end about Schindler being a living angel was beautiful.
51:06
The scene with the shower is a very important one, because these shower rooms often served as gas chambers and the prisoners were handed a bar of soap at the beginning because this way they did not suspect anything and it did not cause panic. In the film, the prisoners were expecting death and were relieved that it was a real shower.
Yeah but how would they know?
Everyone who knows that showers were used as gas chambers would die, so that little part was a complete fabrication
To be fair would they actually know about it? There probably wasnt many testimony outside the soldiers/camp crew
@@Fenronin The stories were being told, even if just in the form of gossip. Remember, there was a scene in the women's barracks at the camp where Goeth and Schindler were - in that scene one woman was telling the story she had heard about the camps where people were getting gassed. The other women couldn't believe it. They asked what sense it made to murder your own workforce. People knew what was happening, but there was no proof until the end of the war, when the camps were liberated and the horrible truth came out with full documentation.
@@Fenronin The murderers were witnesses too.
@@jenfries6417There was plenty of proof and whistleblowers all the way from 1939 from various jewish organizations. The US state department knew about the holocaust for years before liberation of camps started happening.
"No one can kill whom God saves"!!! That was absolutely beautiful words... And for the ppl saying they didn't understand the movie they understand it more than you know
I admire these villagers for seeing Schindler's list. It's one of these movies that would recommend everyone see. Some things in this world should never be forgotten. Lest we repeat it.
boring movie, it doesn't even have colours ffs
Troll@@DJ_POOP_IT_OUT_FEAT_LIL_WiiWii
“My heart was crying tears that could not come out of my eyes.” I felt that.
I have to pause every now and again to completely admire and appreciate the way they say things sometimes.
The way they express themselves is just SO genuine and heartfelt.
This is what the world stands to gain, if we can invite all nations to sit and eat at the table. We hear things we've never heard before... we see the world in ways we've never seen before. The world belongs to all of us.
As a Jew, this movie is always a truly difficult but important watch. For my family which came over to the US in the late 40's from Italy, the horrors of never knowing the untold numbers of family and familial history lost during this time period pains the heart deeply because we'll never know any of it. Just loss. Even these clips, and the pure reaction of the gentlemen moves me to tears on so many levels.
Oh, a follower Italian!
I was a child when it came out; they had us watch it several times in school. I hope that they continue this practice today: everyone needs to understand what happened.
Lzzzzz
And as a Polish person, I am deeply sorry that such things had to happen to Jewish people on our land , without any willingness on the part of the majority of my nation. We still morn those losses. And we do try to keep the respectful memory alive. But yes, it's legacy of all nations, of many cultures, not only of our own. We wish to keep it alive despite all differences that can come between nations. Since we can never wash off the blood of this deadly and crazy idea of industrialized genocide that was not an invention of our own mindset in the first place. We wish to be seen as peaceful existence nation we are but yes, we know we will always be perceived from the perspective of past inhumane events depicted in this movie.
@@jansenart0 I was in 6 year of a primary school when I had to visit Auschwitz. Half of my class vomited hearing about living conditions of people in there, especially in winter since we went there in winter and we could see what people were supposed to survive on. Later on as and adult I have learned that modern day Germans think that 18 year olds in Germany are way too sensitive to learn in history classes about German nazi camps. And even later on, at university I have learnt that even history university gradutes in the studies of Holocaust do not get to leanr that nazi German camps were located in Poland unless they apply for Phd to do field research in here. The rest of the world shall draw conclusions for itself. I personally will never accpet the term "nazi camps in Poland". The were, they are, they will always be " German nazi camps located in Poland and never run by Polish people". But yes, we had some Jewish nazi people of German ethnicity from Czech Republic. Even in the city featured in this movie. They are to be juged morally by the generations of other Jewish people. The man I've mentioned is Symcha ( Symche) Spira : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symcha_Spira
" ..they should have spoken to someone in the highest authority." - Oh, my sweet summer child. It was the highest authority who conducted it...
please don't say "sweet summer child" to these good people
I choked on my milk when he said that
Sweet summer child is an incredibly belittling thing to say, I’d advise you to remove it from your lexicon
@@anonymoususer2647what does it mean that’s so offensive…I took it to mean gentle naive soul. 🖖🏻🇨🇦
@@tessasnowlol being a Trekkie and a Canadian won't save you. No, before anybody comes with an angry answer, let me give you a more understanding one. "Sweet summer child" means you were born yesterday and don't know anything. Just because these guys live in a little village in Southeast Asia doesn't mean they are stupid, or have no experience, or naive... it just means the world is really big and there are parts they haven't experienced yet. However, in their own corner of the world, these are hard-working men with families and careers and more wisdom than you can shake a stick at. The way these people live their lives makes me wish more people would forget all these things that we think makes them naive not to know and live a live of simple self-sufficiency, where honor and compassion and kindness and respect for one's fellow mankind is something they don't have to learn through fantasy films.
I think they missed a very important aspect of the movie.
Those jews at the end were the ACTUAL people that he actually saved. The survivors that are alive because of him. Each one was paired with the actor that portrayed them as they all visited his grave.
It is a very profound moment imo and hits hard when you realize those are the real people.
I remember that last part of the movie. So poignant!!! As far as the last section of the movie....they might have figured that out. I haven't started it yet, though, just the guys talking til 1:32 or so.....
@@caveatlector2671no no no, there’s NO excuse for it. India considers itself a superpower and we (the British) had a significant role in improving education in India. The lack of understanding of anything beyond the poor, cheap lives they lead in their village is down to nothing but laziness and a complete lack of desire to take an interest in anything beyond what’s in their immediate environment. 😑
@@YorkshiremanReacts26 The whole reason India’s still in such awful shape is because of 200 years of colonial exploitation and oppression.
@srbrant5391 I believe most of the participants had at best a fifth grade education and left to work.
@@srbrant5391Utter BS! That's like saying the west is rich and educated, because we stole from or abused poor countries 200 years ago.
The west lead the world, because of education and cultural reasons, and poor countries like India lacks behind, for the opposite reason.
I absolutely loved the older guy saying how it's wrong to oppress ppl regardless of what religion they may have. The youngster is cool too, wise for his years I have to say.
This is just...one of the most amazing reaction videos I've ever watched. To see them praising Oskar or how much he did, and calling Goeth a dog...it's all too beautiful.
For anyone who would comment on a a lack of these men’s education is a lack of education that western societies assume the whole world 🌍 knows of the atrocities that have happened to western societies but not those that happened in Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, etc. There is no shame in not knowing, only in being willfully ignorant. The responses of these participants shows our common humanity and I am very moved and applaud them.
Well said 😊
Pretty much, westerners always think their history is the only one that matters
I will tell you that, thank you so much for reaction, I'm from Poland and this sad history is very still vivid to me ,when I saw the train that was going to Auschwitz i got upset stomach. It's so sad to me that the tragedy also happened to my contry. I will remember forever how my grandparents told me what was happening to them at that time, the tragedy the way my grandmother was running to the forest to hide to safe her life from military men, they would come to houses do terrible things to woman , kill children and elderly people ,they would steal farm animals and sometimes kill them too. My grandfather told me how his cousin was saved. They heard the military men coming when his mother took the horse and sat him on the animal, when the army came they started to beat and tried to kill some of family members when grandfather cousins mother had a chance she freed herself from the military man and ran to the horse just to slap him in the back, the horse started running away and that's how my grandfather cousin was saved. He was only a childat that time sadly I don't know what happened to the rest of the family. The trauma that he has still today must be still heavy
Pile of bull 💩
My grandfather ended his war in Auschwitz, he survived but at a price. He died in 63 aged 49, he was Jewish and did undercover work in Europe as he could speak 7 languages, he was in the U.K. military and someone he worked with snitched on him.
It’s sad that it happened and people need to realise it happened and not deny it. I have friends from Poland and Germany and I don’t hold it against them as they weren’t born just like I wasn’t. They know it happened and we don’t discuss it
This was a beautiful, sensitive reaction. Thank you for watching this film. You guys did a great job at comprehending the depth of it.
I lost most of my family during the holocaust. My grandfather (rip) did survive the invasion of Normandy beach, but his experience there, his best friend jumped on a grenade or mortar to save his life and he died in my grandfathers arms as he was trying to put his insides back into his body. War is Hell, it's horrible and tragic any time it happens. Aspects were not understood clearly, but the emotional toll is still there. It's hard not to express empathy and disgust and anger and passion when you watch real moments in history so accurately portrayed.
I do feel sorry for your family's loss. And for your own suffering. My own family has managed to survive but we did endure some losses as well. And memories of my relatives are like memories of your grandfather. And yes, it's hard for me too often not to express empathy and disgust and anger and passion whenever I have to witness humans to wage yet another war. As if the past of families like your and my own have had not been enough for the rest of human existence on this small planet.
@@agatastaniak7459 Thank you, and I feel for you and am sorry for your losses as well.
I don't understand war, I truly don't. I don't understand hatred over religion or race, and I don't understand greed.
Maybe it's because we're a product of our own environments. I grew up poor, I still am poor. I live in chronic pain (diseases and injuries) and unfortunately, I live in America; a country with wretched and monstrously expensive healthcare. In fact I've often said: "There is no "care" in healthcare anymore".
I know that there are hundreds of millions of people just like me, and I know there are hundreds of millions of people that have no idea about true suffering, pain and sickness.
When I think about it, it really bothers me. I was a functional taxpaying part of society. I worked a lot, and I worked hard, but I could never afford health insurance, and so over time, a disease that I have worsened, my overall health worsened to the point of not being able to work.
One would think... that it's the governments job to "care" about and for its citizens. All or most... governments have programs for aid in emergencies etc... It makes sense for my government to help me get the healthcare required (surgeries, meds etc...) to try their best to get me back into the workforce and paying taxes again, that's what keeps economy going, but greed steps in and stops it.
Pharmaceutical companies price meds into the tens of thousands of dollars that no one can afford, most surgeries aren't covered. Half of my medications are, but that's just treating symptoms, not the cause, so in a sense, they are keeping me sick so I constantly need medication.
That's greed and corruption. I WANT to work. Me, being sick and injured and barely surviving, barely eating... how does that help anyone but corporate agenda?
I'd have to win the lottery or strike oil to pay out of pocket for what I need, and like I said... there are hundreds of millions of people like me in the world. tens of millions of Americans.
When you have a bad day or something, and somebody says: "Well... at least you have your health". Yeah, that would be nice, but I sure don't!
But that's what life should be. It should be about health. It should be about caring. The world will never be a better place until all those that cause war disappear, and history has proven that when they do, someone else just fills that role. We live in a vicious cycle; a never-ending loop of disparity between the greedy rich and the struggling poor, and the rich, just want more, and more and more... money and power, and they don't care who they have to step on to get it.
I wish, I really honestly and truly wish things were different. If more people were like these reactors. Their unwavering empathy and kindness is to be admired.
Three of my four grandparents were in WWII. One in the Navy in Pacific, one in the Army in Europe, one in England in the Royal Air Force. One grandparent is alive and just turned 97 a couple of days ago!
It would be nice, I think, to see a "behind the scenes" of Villagers' React - it would be nice to see how big the screen is that they watch these movies on. In this case I think they may have missed some details because the screen is too small - the girl in the red coat for example, which runs through a large part of the film.
Yup, the red coat spoke volumes.
Remember its the citizens that pay the price of politicians decisions, usually at the benefit of lobbyists for stockholders profits rather than whats best for its people.
Where are they from in the first place?
@@mavit-p5936 I think they must be from somewhere near Mumbai, because they sometimes talk of having seen things in Mumbai.
An important film for people to see, but even watching a few clips is like a punch to the gut.
I wish great film-makers like Spielberg would make films about Palestine.
Funny thing, the book for this movie is in the fiction section of book stores.
@@orangewarm1 If I was in an aeroplane flying over the ME, with my girlfriend in western clothes, and we had to get a parachute on and jump out, it wouldn't be Palestine, Syria, Lebanon etc that I'd want to land in - it would be Israel. It always strikes me as odd that some of the "rainbow" types support Palestine.
@@starvinforGarvin You follow Styxenhammer, none of your arguments are valid.
It's important to understand that this film is a dramatization of history. It's not a documentary. Too many people think that the Holocaust actually happened like this and it leads to a distorted picture of history, a wrong understanding of human nature and racism against Germans.
I love how these guys make these smart observations just watching the movie for the first time
I think it will be a good idea to show them an explanation to this movie, this will clear any misunderstandings and help them to understand what they saw.
I think they understood all that's essential to understand, the horror of it, the heroism of Schindler, the bestiality that men are capable of.
I like the new set up. They seem more comfortable. Much better with a sofa ❤️
Especially on these long 3 hour movies
You are right
Yes, Lord Of The Rings, sat on a chair for hours, looked like an ordeal.
I love your work but, please, this is something so enormously important that they needed a bit of context and explanations, especially about the final scene, before simply pushing the play button and going "Here you go, watch this"
Schindler's List and Sophie's Choice are two of the most difficult movies to watch among the many devastating portrayals of that time. Difficult but important to see, toward comprehending and understanding the period.
Crying Game and Jacob's Ladder...
I like the Pianist more than Schindler's list.
Sophie's List.
Come and See from 1985 beats all those movies including Schindlers List in difficulty to watch
@steiner554 Yes that is a good one too.
I think Babu could relate to that being a fellow musician.
This has slowly become my fav reaction group just from the fact its so unique to see ppl with such little knowledge of current world issues in other areas so it gives u a whole new side of things
The burning scene wasn't for the reason of desecration, although they did do that. It was to attempt to destroy the evidence that they had murdered all those Jews.
Some characters Sir Ben Kingsley already played: Itzhak Stern, Otto Frank (Anne Frank's Father), Adolph Eichman (a Holocaust Perpetrator), Mahatma Gandhi, Salvador Dalí, filmmaker Georges Méliès, 2 different Pharaos, Nun (a Hebrew during Egypt captivity), Moses, Lenin, Ibn Sina, Sweeney Todd.
wow! thanks for sharing...ive seen one the "pharaoh" movies..not the other...off to google it!
I was thinking,. A lot of what Raeen says would be great quotes to put on tee shirts , coffee mugs , or a cool poster bc this young man “ gets it “.
I'm crying right now. Even watching clips of this movie moves me so much. Thank you for showing it.
Thank you for showing them this movie. I wish all could see. Fun movies are wonderful for them but also movies like this are very important for them to understand world history better. This was the best choice
It doesn’t hurt any of us to revisit these issues. To do so would be doom of the soul.
Fantastic movie and great reaction! Obviously incredibly difficult content, but one thing that's even more sobering is that the movie definitely toned it down versus how bad it could really get. While I wouldn't want to linger too long on WW2, it's undeniably a huge event in history with tons of films made about it. The 2004 German *Der Untergang* (Downfall is the English title) chronicles Hitler and his entourage in the final few days of the war, and famously includes a portrayal of Hitler that's said to be eerily accurate to how he really acted.
@@sirei01 One of the reasons I would like them to see it...they'd know the movie before the meme, I presume!
Fantastic choice of movies. I only wish a couple others had watched with them.
I am not religious, but I absolutely loved this response to one of my favourite movies. It really is a hard watch. The cruelty shown to adults and children can be completely condemned by us all. We are are all on the same page. I would also add that the two of you are fascinating to watch. You both have different opinions, but you also agree on what is important. God bless the two of you. I will be watching many of your videos.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Matthew 7:13-14 ✝️
I'd like to bring up two very simple points to whom criticised Badshah and Raeen for not "getting" the scale of the Holocaust.
Firstly, "Schindler's List" is a remarkable film, but whilst following the typical Spielberg's storytelling approach of the "common" character in "uncommon" circumstances (in this case, Schindler),becomes extremely effective on the emotional level, but hardly fitted to paint a broad picture of any event. Other films like "The Pianist", "The Boy in the Stripped Pyjamas", "Life is Beautiful", probably would had been more effective to illustrate the scale of this terrible page in history.
Speaking of terrible pages in history, for my second point I'd like to ask if this scorned (and I suppose, Western) audience is aware that whilst under the British domination, the Indian Subcontinent went through punishing life standards and recurring periods of famine that killed over 30 million people. The last "colonial" famine happened in the Bengal province whilst the Holocaust was in full swing, and killed an estimate of 800,000 to 3.8 million Bengalis on its own. The colonial "adventure" ended in blood in 1947 with the partition of India, which triggered a massive exodus and civil unrest where acts of violence were ignored or even encouraged by the fleeting rulers. As consequence, 200,000 people died and countless more suffered enormously. To these days, the repercussions of these events are still very much real for India, and I wouldn't been surprised if Badshah's comment about killing in God's name - which seemed misplaced in the Holocaust context - came straight from the scenario he knew best.
How would the Chinese react to "Schindler's List" in light of their knowledge about Unit 731? How about the African-Americans, with over 15 millions dead slaves in their heart? How about the Native Americans? I'm posing this questions not to create a macabre competition between atrocities against humanity, but for the very opposite reason: Every history book gushes blood, and whilst is perfectly understandable to feel more involved emotionally to events culturally closer to us, nobody has the right to make themselves the centre of the world, and nobody should shame people with a different background if they don't understand right on the spot how much a certain event matters to us. We all have our dead to carry. Badshah and Reen had been nothing but kind and gracious about what is possibly the darkest hour of our culture. I'll wait here to see you doing the same with theirs.
Thank you for this. I'm tempted to ask those who complain about these gentlemen's lack of historical context, how much they know about South Asian history, specifically the tragedies of Partition and various colonial famines. Europe isn't the globe.
@@melanie62954 Hear, hear. The thing is that Europe (and consequently the U.S.), has been "the globe" long enough to consolidate such notion as truth in many western minds. I will not put myself above this phenomenon, for cultural reasons the Holocaust will always hit me harder than other atrocities, but entitlement comes in many forms, and this is one of them. I think is important to at least acknowledge it, and to do our best to end this colonialistic mentality. It's the very least we could do. Plus, I'll be damned if I'll stay silent whilst these gentlemen get unfairly roasted, in my tribal Italian mind they're basically family at this point. 😆
Detailed explanation your comment needs more likes.
@@jennifertucker2581 Thank you, but considering the tone of some of the comments under this video, I'll take all the likes with pride and be content. I have the feeling that if RUclips had a upvote/downvote system as Reddit I'd be drowning in negativity. The racists really came out of the woodwork this time around.
@@EveningSoother yeah the fascists have grown in power and boldness worldwide in the last two decade sadly. We have Putin right now going his best to emulate last century monsters but those currents are numerous and particularly present in the current USA. I shudder to think what could happen if it takes more expansion... We can see this reflected in the comments everywhere, bold assholes not scared of yelling their hatred everywhere, believing themselves unnopposable. In truth they are like scared children turning their personal insecurities into agression to hide their weak will.
Thank you Sirs for your beautiful and respected words. I feel you are a graceful and aware people. God be with you all and your families.
"Our deeds should be such that people praise us, instead of talking behind our backs" I am in tears. xx
And I have to add this, scrolling through the comments of all the entitled feeling people. How much do you know about their culture? i will just leave that sitting there. I was moved to tears by the humanity of their reaction.
It was very interesting to see their reaction to this. Such compassion for the value of human life. Sorry, but I had to shake my head at their comment "They should report this to the high authority in the area" but if they did do that they would have been killed because the occupation was the higher authority. It was good to see they learned something about their culture because of this movie, it took Spielberg a long time to be emotionally prepared to even make this film.
That with the make up with blood I also did not understood immediately. It was to show that they were still healthy, with a red-rose skin and not ill and weak completely white.
It's worth mentioning, Jews suffered by far the greatest number of deaths, but the Nazi's targeted other groups as well: gypsies, the mentally handicapped, homosexuals, and anyone else considered "not worthy" of the "Ariyan race," or who acted against, or spoke out against, Hitler. Truly a monstrous amount of death and suffering, and none of it should be forgotten.
🎬The White Rose 1982 📣
They were so sincere with their reaction, the people that are complaining are the pseudo-intellectuals.
As a Jewish Israeli fan of the channel, THANK YOU so much for bringing this to the attention of the show ❤
How truly compassionate and honorable these men are. I truly admire them and their ability to understand and empathize with events they may have limited knowledge of. Much respect to you, gentlemen. We need more like you in this world.
A fascinating perspective on a cinematic depiction of radical evil.
Every time I see that little red coat on that damned cart I cry my eyes out...
Over 2 million Indians died in World War II. There is not a single film about it, let alone remembering and celebrating it.
Those who say they lack context. Guys, they don't have context about the deaths of their own countrymen either!
Very true. Society is very quiet about the evils committed by the Allies because what the Nazis and Imperial Japanese did was worse. We were all stained in the blood of innocents by the end.
Only 2 million?
Most people don't even know that the Germans were present in the middle east at that time at all, or that millions of Chinese were killed. Everyone in America learns of WWII in school, but other places I guess it's only a nebulous memory. But this is why it's so interesting seeing them react to this movie!
it was way more then 2 million mate
alone 3 million died to the famine in 1943 which was caused by the "war hero" churchill ... his policies was a reason for it he also took all the food away for the soldiers and i QUOTE CHURCHILL HERE he said the indians "breeding like rabbits" and asking "if the shortages were so bad, how Mahatma Gandhi was still alive" ...
the evil in hitler just brought up the evil in the other countries i feel, stalin churchill ... no one in power at that time was a decent human being i feel ...
but then the british killed so many millions and tens of millions of indians not alone with the seperation of muslims and hindu in india and pakistan that the 3 million might not even count that heavy ...
@@johns1625 china had the 2nd biggest blood count in ww2 after russia ... and honestly it was 98% civilians, killed by the japanese and their own army trying to stop the japanese (destroying the damn flooding an area killing millions)
Nice reaction video! I actually saw this in the theaters in Portugal in 1993, and it made a heavy impression on me. I assume these 2 guys have low studies in an asian poor country and are having a genuine and sincere shock, by discovering the atrocities of WWII. They seem to have a good heart.
They are tribal people , so obviously they have tribal background. I wouldn't judge it as "low" or "poor" since it's just tribal and not non-tribal. Yes, they stroke me as good-hearted and genuine people. And all my respect to them. And to other tribal people as well. As for standards, I believe tribal people and their communities have their very own ones. And I respect this.
Schindlers List is good but the best movie about the holocaust is "The Pianist" because the director Roman Polanski himself escaped the Kracow ghetto as a child so he had first hand experience. It's the most truthful but also a cinematic masterpiece.
edit: He survived the Kracow ghetto, not Warsaw like i thought.
Actually, he survived the Kracow ghetto, the one depicted here in Schindler's List. In directing the Pianist he used that experience to make its depiction of the Warsaw ghetto realistic.
OK, but didn’t Roman Polanski drug and rape a teen girl, anally? And he had to flee the country and can never come back because he knows he’ll be prosecuted? You mean that Roman Polanski? Husband to Sharon Tate, who was murdered by Charles Manson’s cult. Maybe we can just leave Roman Polanski out of this. The very name makes my stomach queasy.
Yeah then he became a rapist 🤦♀
@@Seek1878 Sex with minors is not rape. It's sex with someone who we have decided can not legally give consent yet. Therefore it automatically is classified as sexual abuse.
As a German, I watched both movies and don't think they need to be ranked against each other, each is valuable in their own way.
You 100% need to show these two fellows the movie Grand Budapest Hotel soon. They need to see Ralph Fiennes in a completely different role. 👍
After seeing Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth that should hit different.
A movie that should not ever be forgotten in this lifetime, or any future lifetime!
You keep coming up with great movie's
It's good to change the whimsical spectacle of movies like Star Wars and Jurassic Park with grounded and serious movies. Binge-watching an entire series in one go usually loses it tastes real fast.
Great video and especially the editing! I know how challenging this movie can be to edit for a reaction.
The is a heavy one. Schindler's list isn't the kind of movie you watch to enjoy, it's a movie you watch to feel something. And I think it's a very important movie that EVERYONE should watch, because it's worth remembering that this isn't that long ago. And people with the views that caused this to happen haven't gone away. Fascism is still alive and well in the 21st century, and it's something that we have to remain vigilant for. I genuinely fear the rise of far right populism in the Western world today, and I worry for the future.
Movies like this exist to remind us all just how bad things can get.
There is nothing to fear. To understand this, you need to read the bible. Especially their prophecies. The reestablishment of Israel came true in 1948. This has come true as predicted. The next big thing will be WW3.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas would be interesting to see a reaction to.
🎬The White Rose 1982 📣
It was an experince to watch these two’s reaction. I think it was a great decision to have one younger and one who may even have lived through this period. In several instances you can tell his wisdom and experience gained from a long life really shines through. Like when the younger speaks of schindlers early worry for his workers and the elder points out his concern is with his profits.
Its also what makes Schindlers story so incredible as we see a man come to simple conclusion that what was happening was simply wrong. And in the end how he took responsibility for these people at the cost of his own fortune. He may have lost material wealth, but his heart had become rich. Generations today are alive thanks to a single man
Badshah is 50, though, he's not that old 😉
It's a tough topic, but I think it's good to show this type of film, and not just entertainment ones.
Great great reaction greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Thank you for the lovely reaction video. You guys did great.
Perhaps Der Untergang could be a consideration. They have learned of the evil of Hitler, but that film shows that he was a human being. A human being was capable of all that evil. We should remember that.
A very important point. And Der Untergang is an excellent film and would be a great companion to this.
It’s true.
Like in the Rwandan civil war, half the population was happy to murder the other half. Human minds can go very messed up.
I like how he mentioned everyone is wearing suits. Back then clothes were a lot more formal and especially if you were going somewhere.
I know your country is very conservative, however, the naked scenes were to show that people were “stripped”of their dignity. Being forced to strip naked in front of strangers is humiliating.
I think he might’ve been talking about the women in the bed with men
A very good point.
This is one of those movies i can only watch every 3-5 years, because it wrecks me every time. It's such an emotionally exhausting movie.
It makes one think how much worse it would be if Spielberg decided to make it R-rated because as far as I know this was made Pg-13 so even kids could see for educational and awareness purposes...
@@DarknessIsThePath I saw this movie for the first time in my highschool history class.
@@Jeefwee Cool, I think we saw it in fourth grade (not american).
It’s wonderful these tribesman are taking time to watch this film and understand it even if they do miss some points. We must never forget History or we repeat it.
I love the tall man’s rings… I also love the courtesy, love and compassion showed by these wonderful gentlemen.
Their reactions are very impressive and interesting, while they didn't got the historical background of the crimes that happened, as we Germans do. Schindlers Liste is still one of the most touching movies, I ever saw.
🎬The White Rose 1982 📣
Another lesser known example of a German who sabotaged Nazi war machine and saved jews, was Albert Goering, who ran the gigantic Skoda tank factory in Czechoslovakia. And yes, he was Hermann Goering's brother.
Please, please, make a villagers reaction to the movie GANDHI ! Is one of my all time favorites and I´m sure they will have a strong reaction to that amazing film and piece of history so close to home form them !
I was thinking that too, especially since Ben Kingsley (the accountant) plays Gandhi himself!
Thank you for your beautiful concern and input on this movie.
This is a very powerful movie. I remember I watched a documentary where they asked Jewish people who had survived the Holocaust what they thought of this movie. They said it was accurate except that the reality was much more violent. I think it was a miracle that Shindler was able to save as many as he did and the fact that he broke down saying that he could or should have saved more just shows what kind of soul he had. May he rest in peace.
As An Adopted Jewish Male who was Born 100% Native American, I feel it is so important that the Holocaust is remembered, so it never happens again, I hear many people who say about the Native Americans "It wasn't genocide as they weren't all wiped out" I am here to say IT WAS GENOCIDE it fortunately wasn't COMPLETE For either of my heritages, Having been raised Jewish since I was 6 months old and gone through my Bar Mitzvah and My rites of passage as a Native I feel the weight of both histories and the RESPONSIBILTY And what is OWED To both to keep those histories, stories, and cultures alive, and to pass on the life lessons and all I have learned to my friends, family and as many as I can in my lifetime, so that these horrible events may not be forgotten or repeated, and so The acts of kindness, heroism and bravery, of everyday peoples now and then of those who gave their lives, those who live on. For those who saved others whose names have gone unrecorded, lost, or forgotten, AND for those who didn't make it LIVE ON, And live each day hoping I make the world just a bit better and a bit wiser. And I Thank the men in this video for watching the film, and for taking the time from their lives to understand about our histories and learn AND HOPEFULLY Pass on these lessons as well.
I mean by that definition the Holocaust wouldn’t be genocide either… CLEARLY IT WAS. Whole peoples were TARGETED, regardless if there were survivors or not. Thank you for sharing!
Another reason this movie should be shown to all people everywhere, especially school children.
Great reaction and insights. Thank you both.
I hope that they’re explained after the movie. Because clearly, they knew nothing about the Holocaust, which isn’t their fault. But many of the contexts were missed, one I can remember is that they didn’t know what a gas chamber is and the whole thing went over their heads. While everyone who have seen the film, held our breaths the moment we saw the gates of Auschwitz and the terror ran through our hearts the moment we saw the showers thinking it was a gas chamber.
I really hope the team explained things like that to them
Actually, it didn't. They were very concerned as to what would happen in the shower room before the water went on. While they may not have had a great amount of Holocaust education before this, they are sensitive and intelligent people; they caught the overall importance of pretty much all of it.
'Because clearly, they knew nothing about the Holocaust, which isn’t their fault.'
What happened was terrible, but historical events shouldn't be used like missionaries use religion to 'convert' either. Remember that these people likely come from the other side of the planet and likely have no connection whatsoever to ww2 or its events.
87,000 Indians died in WWII, so i wouldn't say they had "no connection" to it... 🤦♀ Looks like some people from the Western world could also use some education@@alias234
Nah, they understood all of that there is to understand. The horror of these events didn't fly over their heads. You don't need historical context to understand the horror, just to know that it's based on real events.
An important movie to see for sure!
Gonna keep suggesting the Back To The Future trilogy 👀💞
At least the first one, although some of the cultural references are likely to be missed.
@@17losttrout I think a lot would be missed
Another really good movie on a very similar event in WWII is Flowers Of War which is based on the Nanking Massacre which goes by another brutal name would love to see them react to that film it's extremely tragic and horrible such events happenend and in similar timeframes but hopeful that good men and women helped those in need during these times too.
I in turn can recommend to everyone a recreation of a real life event form those times- a famous Polish prisoner escape from a war camp of Auschwitz: ruclips.net/video/CNlnCkcAyyo/видео.html
Happy Sunday, everyone!
"Stern" (an amalgam of 3 people, Stern, Banquier and Pemper) made a point of saving teachers, scholars, musicians and their families. They were not artisans
As always, great reaction.
In 1993, US 35mm film reel labs that made copies for movies being dispatched in theaters had somewhat lost the know-how to properly process (optically and chemically) black and white film reels manufacturing (no major B&W US film has been produced since at least 30 years beforehand), and Steven Spielberg was quite bothered with it. But when he watched a French made copy (by GTC, Joinville, a cinema lab that was still used to properly process B&W copies), he decided to remove all other copies and let this lab produce all the copies for worldwide distribution.
36:10 "it's beyond my understanding." There's really no better way to put it. What the Jews went through during WW2 was unfathomable.
The person showing the movie should of explained the significance of the shower scene to them. Also, he should of told them them that 6 million Jews, men, women and children were murdered by the Nazi's.
thx to show them this beautiful and cruel movie I cry every time the little girl in red is in the screen such an horrible feeling great react
I'm curious if there is a system for who watches which movie. Do you pick them based on what you think they'd be interested in? Or is it simply the person available on that day?
Both
@@reactnew I hope Ruby returns. She's a great addition to the team.
@@reactnew Will you show them "The Day after?"
Especially to Babu, Raeen and Sarru?
@@OpenGL4ever Babu, Raeen and Sarru --- the O. G.s
There is profound wisdom in their innocence.
Raeen laughing at Uncle at the end made me laugh. He was blushing.😊
Btw at the end of the movie it was real people he saved, not actors.
Also people got gassed to death in those chambers like that every day, thats why people were so scared during that scene and relieved that water came down instead of gass.
Probably should have done some research about WWII before going into such movie...
Jakob The Liar stars Robin Williams as a Jewish resident in Warsaw, Poland known as the Łódź Ghetto during the Nazi invasion. The plot is that he tells rumours of radio conversations between Allied Forces coming to save them to keep everyone's moral up.
Jacob the Liar is a 1969 novel written by the East German Jewish author Jurek Becker. The German original title is Jakob der Lügner and is based on a true story.
The reason they were digging up the dead bodies and burning them was because the sheer amount of corpses were corrupting the ground water and creating a lot of gasses and ground movement. As if it weren't grim enough.
A movie that comes to mind is Interstellar! Would love a reaction to that one
My favourite movie to date.
They would need a lot, a lot, a lot of prep over a long time about relativity and how time is different according to relative speed.
Schindler's List is a great Movie. I watched it first in 1992 (around this year) when I was like 16 in school. It is heartbreaking to see people that had nothing to do with it react. It is a good indicator for a movie, if such people see the worst things in it.
My man on the left got that drip. ^_^
You should show them You should show them Mahatma Gandhi and the partition of India!?
I would and many be interested at their opinion , especially Uncle Babu!
I hope they can see a more light, happy movie from Speilberg . I recommend E.T. I think they would love it.
These guys are my new favorite reaction channel stars. ❤❤❤😊
