Make no mistake, he partook in the round ups and genocide of Polish Ghetto Jews (Murderous SS Round ups are shown in both Schindler's List and The Pianist, theyre like SWAT raids except all the civilians die everytime). However...for whatever reason, one day, leaving the ghetto, he had smuggled out from the ghetto an infant Jewish child. Like a random act of mercy/for a murderous Nazi. It was unusual, it makes you wonder why he would partake in the genocide in most circumstances, but then risk court martial, prison labor/Eastern Front straft Battalion duty, or death, to save a small infant from a ghetto? I dont know where I read that but it was a curiosity of a random act of mercy by a genocidal freak SS soldier. It's an unverified anecdote, so take that story with a grain of salt...I think its probably true and any war as massive as wwii, you can find a random act of human kindness between bitter enemies here and there, not unlike the wwi 1914 Christmas Truce.

It’s what separates supremely directed movies. Great movies have hundreds of little details such as that, very rarely in these kinds of films is ANYTHING accidental
i think i also caught a slight movie mistake there too, at 0:08 you can see him place down a suitcase with 2 lines to his left, then at 0:16 it magically appears to his right, falling over as you saw
Another small thing that makes Spielberg's movies so great is the details. You can tell the suitcases are weighted, which add to the way the guy moves them and makes it more realistic. Many times in shows and movies you can usually tell when a package, box, or luggage is empty. Its not a big deal, but the subconscious picks up on the abnormality of the movement and can vibe out its not real, his movies go above and beyond to be reality in the details and it's one one of the reasons it hits the viewer hard because it is felt subliminally also.
BEVERAGES annoy the crap out of me in movies/TV.........it is always painfully obvious that coffee cups etc are empty because you just cant fake those nuances.
Yeah I noticed that in The Dark Knight; the bags of cash in the opening look too light judging by the way they are easily tossed around. This is in direct contrast to Heat (1995) where the bags of cash look appropriately heavy.
Two posible cases: 1) They Laugh at him because they know he's lying but let him go because it was a very funny moment for them. 2) They Laugh at him because he looked stupid yet they decided to let him go because they believed his lie and did not want to have problem with the supposed superior that Gave him the order of cleaning the street. In both cases, this scene works because it expose the nazis as unpredictable.

That sounds more accurate. Although Goeth was a very cruel man, they actually believe it or not soften his character from what he was in real life (I know it's hard to believe that Goeth was more evil in real name). WARNING: very graphic and very sad. He used to use infants as shooting practice and would hang dead soldiers around the camp as warnings to the other prisoners. He also most likely was not in love with Helen Hiersch (though some close friends did say he found her attractive) and his other housekeeper Helen Rosas claimed Amon tried to sexually assault Helen Heirsh and Rosas had to intervened.

@Jody Schmuckatelli so you admit they weren’t just killing people randomly for no reason. What about Karl-Otto Koch, commandant of Buchenwald, who was executed by the SS for killing prisoners, which was not tolerated by the Nazis. There were no killings or mass executions of Jews, just killing one would mean the Nazis would execute you.
The reality portrayed here is that Amon Goeth knew that Poldek was lying and felt amused by his attempt at explaining his situation. Ralph Fiennes's performance here is hauntingly great. I am glad that this role did not harm his career.
This actor who portrayed poldek pffefeberg was my acting teacher in Tel Aviv, israel. He was wonderful and this scene is one of my favorites of all time!
Locking that MP-40 bolt to the rear must have been a real "Come to Abraham" moment for him. Good thinking on his feet. Also, anyone else notice Fiennes sounded like Dr. Strangelove?
@YourRationalWorldisaCircleJerk its based on a true story that being the story of oskar schindler. For the most part its pretty accurate, not saying it does not have a lot of innacuracies and other stuff.
More like Jack the ripper, Ted Bundy and Charles Sobhraj, may they burn in hell forever, got to wear uniform and a free license to kill as many innocent victims as they like.
Thankfully, the bullies always catch bullets in the end. And to quote Django unchained, I feel every dying Nazi should be told, "I like the way you die, boy."
I think it was the fact that he looked busy and as if he was given a job that he still needed to finish, not that they were amused by him and then decided to let him live.
basically you can see amon running with his gang hunting hiding jews in this case he's not running he actually has the balls to come up with this scheme which is funny because goeth is the guy who is in charge so he knows he's bullshitting... but he's amused by his antics and plays with him letting him go
@@MontyQueues Yeah and in the end Amon doesn’t give a shit. He doesn’t care if they live or die. Most of the movie he is bored and annoyed. Makes it excruciatingly pointless. One moment he is like “we have to murder thousands of people because we are just that strict about things like surnames” and with a random dude he is like “ha you were funny, ok you get to live”.
Ralph Fiennes is a great actor. His performance in this film must be his career best. Yet...the way he talks he reminds me of Peter Sellers in 'Dr Strangelove'...
The details in this movie are great. Goeth's dogs looked exactly like the ones he is seen with in this scene. Rolf and Ralf, they were both trained to tear prisoners to pieces and did so. Goeth had a Jewish dog handler for them and when he noticed that the dogs started preferring the handler's company moreso than his own, of course he shot the guy dead.
does anyone realise that in the mind of Amon, he had sentenced this man to death? finish and join the lines (order). if anyone finds him on the street again and see he didn't join the lines he is a dead man.
around midnight, I once decided to walk on the freeway from work to home, it was the fastest route on foot, but....police saw me and intercepted me with their cruisers, they pointed flashlight at me and questioned what I was doing, I said, "i had an argument with my girlfriend and she threw me out on the freeway." Before they could say anything, I pointed to the exit up the road which was where I was headed and asked, "Can you guys help me get to that exit? it would at least bring me closer to home." I ended up getting a free ride to my house because they felt sorry for me. HAHAHAHAA
He is at attention and nobody has said "at ease". If he moved, perhaps Goeth or another SS would have said, "Who told you to move?" And then shot him. It is part of Pfefferberg's military discipline shtick.
Just got from Krakow Poland and our Hotel was on this exact street Location,only found out by hearing the tour guide outside the hotel room window one morning,blew my mind.
Just imagine what if . . . There would be no Schindler's Ark because Poldek was a major consultant and he was the one who convinced Kennedy to write the book. There would be no Schindler's List. Wow . . .
I think most of you have forgotten this but, you are only where you are today because you are entertaining to watch. Glorified amusement if you will. No fans, no you..
Funny any scene with geothe generates a sinking sensation in my gut. I know in the end it was a human being but from I what know and Ralph's performance he feels more like the a feral animal at best and more genrally like a human shaped hole in our world

Locking that MP-40 bolt to the rear must have been a real "Come to Abraham" moment for him. Good thinking on his feet.
Also, anyone else notice Fiennes sounded like Dr. Strangelove?
I was about to comment on the voice. Didn’t notice the MP-40 bolt. He might have been pulling it up to safety lock position
@@CollectorChronicles Yeah it does look more like that. His hand motion was more upwards than rearwards.
They really did a great job at making this scene so intense.
Abraham Lincoln? What are you doing here?!?
@@kritzplays he was a Jew.
@@maxmurphy7306 but he's commenting on videos?

That quick reaction of making it seem that he was ordered to clean the street saved his life
I noticed how some of the SS soldiers brushed against the young man as they walked past him. This certainly was his "brush with death."
This is an important movie, not only because it's beautifully written but also so we don't repeat this mistakes.
@YourRationalWorldisaCircleJerk its based on a true story that being the story of oskar schindler. For the most part its pretty accurate, not saying it does not have a lot of innacuracies and other stuff.
Its such a cool detail how he Actually Salutes the official Polish Military way
When you realize there's a suitcase that has better comedic timing than you ever will
And then moves away by itself.
Reminds me of school bullies running around a playground, drunk with power and enjoying every minute of their sick twisted existence.
More like Jack the ripper, Ted Bundy and Charles Sobhraj, may they burn in hell forever, got to wear uniform and a free license to kill as many innocent victims as they like.
Thankfully, the bullies always catch bullets in the end.
And to quote Django unchained, I feel every dying Nazi should be told, "I like the way you die, boy."
I almost didnt finish high school because of a Gang of bullies!!!
They all know he's a Jew. He just appealed to Goeth's sense of condescending humor. That would disarm his aggression.
I think it was the fact that he looked busy and as if he was given a job that he still needed to finish, not that they were amused by him and then decided to let him live.
basically you can see amon running with his gang hunting hiding jews
in this case he's not running he actually has the balls to come up with this scheme which is funny because goeth is the guy who is in charge so he knows he's bullshitting... but he's amused by his antics and plays with him letting him go
The Jew knows what Amon was he just said he was given orders
@@Alexander-vm2ox yeah he attempted to scheme amon which he found amusing
@@MontyQueues Yeah and in the end Amon doesn’t give a shit. He doesn’t care if they live or die. Most of the movie he is bored and annoyed. Makes it excruciatingly pointless. One moment he is like “we have to murder thousands of people because we are just that strict about things like surnames” and with a random dude he is like “ha you were funny, ok you get to live”.
@@LesterBrunt that's a really good point, also the scene where he's talking about the top not being down he's cold
The salute also helped hide the Star on his arm, to help stave off any trained muscle memory trigger fingers.
What a great movie. Again Rest In Peace to all the Victims.
Ralph Fiennes is a great actor. His performance in this film must be his career best. Yet...the way he talks he reminds me of Peter Sellers in 'Dr Strangelove'...
The details in this movie are great. Goeth's dogs looked exactly like the ones he is seen with in this scene. Rolf and Ralf, they were both trained to tear prisoners to pieces and did so. Goeth had a Jewish dog handler for them and when he noticed that the dogs started preferring the handler's company moreso than his own, of course he shot the guy dead.
The best detail is that Poldek actually saluts the exact way an actual Polish soldier would even to this day (the "clicking" and 2 finger salute)
And they say germans don't have a sense of humor!
does anyone realise that in the mind of Amon, he had sentenced this man to death? finish and join the lines (order). if anyone finds him on the street again and see he didn't join the lines he is a dead man.
This is my favorite, I love comedies
The close up of Ralph Fiennes in this scene, he looks like an actual demon drunk on blood. Chilling
He stared the devil in the eye and lived to tell the tale.
No matter what role Ralph is playing, I always see this character first. What a great movie...
NICE SAVE GOOD SIR.
around midnight, I once decided to walk on the freeway from work to home, it was the fastest route on foot, but....police saw me and intercepted me with their cruisers, they pointed flashlight at me and questioned what I was doing, I said, "i had an argument with my girlfriend and she threw me out on the freeway." Before they could say anything, I pointed to the exit up the road which was where I was headed and asked, "Can you guys help me get to that exit? it would at least bring me closer to home." I ended up getting a free ride to my house because they felt sorry for me. HAHAHAHAA

This scene was simultaneously hilarious and horrifying.
This was quite the film debut for Ralph Fiennes… he was virtually unknown outside of the UK until he played Amon Göth in this movie…
I never knew he played voldermort
0:32 the dog growl and amon laughing at the same time synced perfectly like a demon growl/laugh am I only on that caught that?
Appears not, there is a comment towards the top which mentioned it.
In the words of Roger Rabbitt to Eddie Valentine .... "a laugh is a very powerful thing ...."
one of the best movie..

Ralph Fiennes has created a masterpiece of acting.
Amazing how he just stand still while the germans have to surround him to pass through
He is at attention and nobody has said "at ease". If he moved, perhaps Goeth or another SS would have said, "Who told you to move?" And then shot him. It is part of Pfefferberg's military discipline shtick.
Imagine being that guy, dodging death when everything seemed over.
Just got from Krakow Poland and our Hotel was on this exact street Location,only found out by hearing the tour guide outside the hotel room window one morning,blew my mind.
Very unique way to dodge a bullet
I don't know if I would have been able to think that quickly and I expect my hands would have been shaking. Ralph Fiennes is terrifying in that role.
Just imagine what if . . . There would be no Schindler's Ark because Poldek was a major consultant and he was the one who convinced Kennedy to write the book. There would be no Schindler's List. Wow . . .
If he just continued with the suitcases they probably would have went passed on considering they look like they were in a hurry.
Remember seeing this at the cinema thinking this blokes days are numbered when you saw them running towards him with the dogs too.
If a man plays the fool, then it's fools he often persuades...well played.
Wait doesnt later on in the movie he says" wait thats my mechanic"
I think he liked him lol
Quote from kung fu panda 2,
The only reason you are alive is because i find tou mildly amusing ,panda
I think most of you have forgotten this but, you are only where you are today because you are entertaining to watch. Glorified amusement if you will. No fans, no you..
This is an example of being "too weird to kill."
there is no shame to live another day. I would do the same ( at this moment)

That woofing sound of mastiff and shepherd strikes up the intensity of the scene... To so terrific
That’s not a mastiff or a shepherd
Funny any scene with geothe generates a sinking sensation in my gut. I know in the end it was a human being but from I what know and Ralph's performance he feels more like the a feral animal at best and more genrally like a human shaped hole in our world
Wow, can't believe he got away with that - just narrowly anyway.
I love this Scene
Edit: 22/12/21
I can't even remember watching this scene 😄
Let them think you're a fool who exists for their amusement, position yourself, bide your time. It's a strategy for dangerous times, that has worked relatively well throughout history, from the Emperor Claudius to this brave soul.
Goeth, the guy who called him "polish clicking soldier" was himself the superior so they knew he was lying but left him alive as he was amusing.
Yes but a anyone higher than a private could have given the order.
So many survivors almost got killed so many times, but for some quick thinking and luck.
Our hotel was that building to the left. David Boutique Hotel Krakow
When you're pretending to work so that your boss doesn't fire you during a mass layoff
Ralph Fiennes looks more German than most of Germans lol
I've been on that street where they shot in Krakow. I'm glad they shot a lot on location.
the improv is amzing! it did indeed sae his life
to salute the enemy in a way he cant to see the symbol on your armband ...he won all
good pull detective... and you are...?
@@asher6657 "you are" what?
@@fabioartoscassone9305 it was a quote from the tv show ''the Wire''. ruclips.net/user/clipUgkxP8ridNSfjjgWL3qmMcBSwSWpmBoHJILv a relatively unknown detective made some discoveries that broke a case after being stashed in the pawn-shop unit for 22 years. I sometimes use that quote when someone brings up a point that has not been considered. You mentioned his Polish salute hid his 'jewish star'. However, It cannot be determined if that was his intention to hide his star. He was in the Polish army, and that is their actual salute.
This guy was THE chad of the movie and just made it for me.
The 2 finger salute....Respect 🇵🇱❤️
Ale on jest Żydem
Plot twist - his orders were to litter the streets with obstacles.
The funniest thing is actually the suitcase that falls over and then glitches through the map.
Great, now i have to watch the whole movie
