I think the most interesting on set story from this is when survivors were visiting the set, and one of the women nearly fainted when she saw Ralph Fiennes step out as Among Goeth in full uniform. She said for a moment she thought Amon had somehow come back from the grave to finish her.
Yup I also related that in my post. Obviously I feel most sorry for the survivor to have to relive that in her mind but I also feel quite a bit sorry for Ralph as he was just acting a part and just happens to be a good actor who also shared a visual look with Goeth.
But Ralph Fiennes did his best to reassure the victims of Goeth on set that he meant them no harm that he was only acting a part, unfortunately his character turned out to be a SS Death Head psychotic.
I remember being in the 10th grade when this came out, and my history teacher arranged a field trip to see this movie. On the bus ride there, we were typical high school kids happy to get out of a half day of classes to go to a free movie. On the way back, you could have heard a pin drop.it’s a great movie and a very important one. But for people that went in not knowing much about the story and history, it was pulverizing.
We had a field trip to the newly-opened Holocaust Museum in DC when I was a senior in high school. It broke me about 10 minutes after entering. I cried so much that one teacher who didn't know me thought that I was Jewish.
I’m actually glad that you four ladies reacted so strongly to this film, this is how we SHOULD react to such inhumanity, your sadness and shock from the horror of it is exactly how human beings should react to this tragedy.
@@orangewarm1, I did not cry during the movie, until he began speaking about the ring and car saving a dozen more humans, because that was not how Oscar Schindler was at all. Read the book.
@@orangewarm1 , the ongoing wars and suffering humans have been put through since the holocaust is disappointing to me, the ladies’ reaction was reassuring but it isn’t close to universal, at least not among some of the world’s political leaders.
@@guslakis, the women's crying caused me to cry more than the movie did. I watched this movie in the theatre with men. I believe there is a reason why Adam looked at Even and said "woman, for she was taken out of man" and it had occurred at the breast. Noah - "from toil of hands, this same shall be Comforter of" woman - "this same shall be Comforter of man" Yahweh - "The Lifted High, this same shall be Comforter of" In the Garden of Eden, the Holy Spirit was still in man and so Adam was stating that though he had just named all the animals in the Garden of Eden nothing was like the Holy Spirit of God to him until he saw a woman. English came from the Germanic language which was unified upon Martin Luther writing the first Germanic Bible which caused Germany to be created as suddenly all the Germans wished to speak that germanic language and to be able to read the Word of God in their native tongue. Man was made upright, but finds many devices, while women were deceived, but can bring salvation through childbirth. Yet women will find that upon the man stepping out from being under the correct God why would he submit to serve the weaker sex; hence the curse of the fall for women as the Pentateuch (first five books of the Bible) gives more written rights to women over 4,000 years ago, which caused Proverbs 31 society over 3,400 years ago until Jewish women led the feminist movement in Christian lands to create more written rights than the Pentateuch. Just my thoughts as to why women have the better spirit, and why lands which give rights to women are closer to the Bible and the thought and mind of Yahweh. Germany was great when Martin Luther created a Protestant Bible and was created as a nation and Germany was great when the Gutenberg printing press made the nation into intellectual readers who created more Bibles than any other nation before as a gift to the world of what makes a nation great. Hitler made Germany weak as it slew off their people and they replaced it with Muslims who were drawn to the area.
Yes. Thank you for your hearts. My grandmother lost two sisters and one brother in the concentration camps. There were four of them….they were taken. They were also moved to different areas based on age. She never seen them again. She was the only survivor. She died five years ago. She was 93. Her maiden name was Zelinka.
Amon Göht's granddaughter Jennifer Teege is of German-Nigerian descent and wrote a New York Times bestseller called "My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me: A Black Woman Discovers Her Family's Nazi Past". She studied in Israel and didn't find out she was Göth's granddaughter until she was 38.
@jeffk1722 Oskar Schindler never said that anyway. Thats Spielberg's invention. You and I can save many lives a year just by donating $30/month to UNICEF.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 I understand this is a fictional scene (or a speculation). I'm talking about this film's character and what Spielberg was conveying with Neeson's expressions.
If you watch this film and don't cry.......you aren't human. When Spielberg showed a rough copy of this film to John Willams hoping he would write the music for it. Willams had to leave. He went outside and cryed. He came back inside and told Spielberg he needed someone better to score the film. Steven told him that everyone better than him was dead.
I’ve been to Schindler’s factory now converted to a museum. There are pictures of every person he saved on the outside of the building etched in each window. It was a depressing and emotionally draining place to go to.
just some notes, the concentration camp there which was called plaszow (pronounced, `plashow") was built on top of what was a jewish cemetery. the factory that oskar schindler had was converted into a museum which has pictures and names of the folks that he helped. also the apartment that in that movie where liam is staying at, is actually oskar schindler's apartment where he stayed, seeing that the movie was filmed in krakow, poland.
This movie is only going to get more important as years go by and we lose the last of the generation that suffered and survived. It shows that we can all do more to help others and reactions like this decades after the fact prove that we are one people, that's why we shed tears for those we don't even know
I'm sorry but hatred is in the DNA and these girls wonder what do they mean by good old anti-semitism. The country of Spain under Islamic rule (711 A.D. to 1491 A.D.) was doing pogroms every decade of their rule against Jews and Christians, but in the 14th century they got pretty awful toward the Jews. They only slew 4,000 Jews in one city in one circumstance in 1391 A.D. They piled the bodies and heads in two separate piles and like a Bible reference the bodies got so high a man on a horse could not see over the pile. These two piles were put before the vizer of Granada who was a Jew being crucified on a cross. Russia did pogroms against Jews from 1821 A.D. to 1920 A.D. and under communism ripped down every steeple of a church throughout their whole land, so after 1917 A.D. Eastern Europe did pogroms against Jews from 1881 A.D. to 1922 A.D. These things are drops in the bucket and the German is referring to policy of complete decimation in the sense Triblinka and Sobibor and Belzec were built for complete annihilation as opposed to places like Auschwitz which were work camps. In Triblinka alone over 600,000 Jews were slain in less than 16 months and the whole thing was disassembled and unrecognizable. No one would have ever found it had it not been for the Germans meticulous data collection. They found it, even though all that was left was trace shadow of building sites and nearly unrecognizable bone tissue since it was nearly gone. The movie "Amen," from 2002, covers how the Germans believed it would go, but it was not so... We know the truth.
@@johnO21, whether Obama hates Jews or not is still a subject of debate in regards to his policies, but I'd say he's against them. I don't think we can say a nation dealing wtih families coming at their borders is relatable to a holocaust. Your logic is dicey at best.
@@johnO21 He was doing the same thing as the Nazi's did during the holocaust??? Wtf are you saying, that he killed millions of people?? This is a completely insane comment that I know I probably shouldn't give attention to but wow
The reason why he didn't stay with them at the end is that the approaching Soviet army would not likely have cared if people spoke out on his behalf - particularly Jewish people. He was a card carrying member of the Nazi party and would have very likely been shot. Thank you for such a sincere and emotive reaction as always, worth the watch!
@@garyjohnstone6422 Eh, it’s a grey area, he was a full member in order to do business with them, get awarded special contracts and etc but he never adhered to the ideology or the hatred, yet he was still a nazis party member even Schindler admitted he was guilty of that and war profiteering the fact he risked his life and sacrificed his fortune to save people is one of the more interesting aspects of how good people aren’t always good or perfect but good when it matters and is needed.
These four young ladies have such warm hearts. Such sad, but beautiful faces. I suppose my face was equally sad. I had to pause and wipe the moisture from my glasses many times.
During my two year residence in Jerusalem, Israel 16 years ago I took a Holocaust school course that included a 10 day field trip in Poland. One of the places we visited was Krakow. Where the events of Schindler's List took place. Most of my family and I were actually at what was left of the factory, including that long staircase to his office. Also on the hill where Schindler witnessed the liquidation of the ghetto and saw the girl with the red coat and one other film location. My whole family and I got to visit Schindler's grave a couple of times.
I am Polish and I am often surprised by the lack of historical knowledge among foreigners. The film "Shindler's List" best shows what happened in Poland during World War II. After the war, we were left alone. Western countries turned away from us and left us to the second enemy - Russia. Now they say that we are distrustful... it's probably logical. We are told that we are racists and xenophobes because we do not allow our country to be destroyed by the EU's illegal emigration policy. Our fate has been too hard for us to give up our freedom and normality now.Evil is growing stronger again and I hope that this time people will come to their senses!
People forget that Russia and Nazi Germany worked together to split up poland, and under them, over 13% of the population was exterminated by either nazis or soviets as much as i respect the soviet resistance against operation Barbarossa and the fact they cracked Berlin It should never be forgotten their occupation and atrocities in Poland. Also while i disagree about the UN immigration policy i will say one of the issues the west had with Poland was not that they were untrustworthy, it was the nature of the far right in Poland. The worry was wether democracy mattered to the polish, as it seems to not matter to so many countries anymore in that sphere who are allowing everything from right wing to literal neo nazis parties to get more power however, that right wing party has been defeated in the recent election and people are less afraid of poland falling into the likes of Hungary under Viktor Orban where, the press is enslaved and censored, and the democratic election system is rigged.
The Germans organized a system of control that spread terror throughout the Polish countryside, a system based on what Engelking and Grabowski term “German law and lawlessness.” The village security apparatus also targeted escaped Soviet POWs and peasants, weaving a web of fear and death. German terror unleashed dark forces in Polish and Ukrainian societies. While the Germans destroyed the Polish nation, many Poles exploited the assault on the Jews to settle scores, enrich themselves, promote nationalist and antisemitic politics, or to survive at the expense of Jewish friends and neighbors.
The four of you were so incredibly brave to watch this movie and let us see your reactions to it. It is one of the most heart-wrenching movies and yet it tells a story that so needed to be told. Thank you all for your love and devotion.
Thomas Keneally (the author of the book "Schindler's Ark") has claimed in an interview that he was personally shown a six-hour-plus "rough cut" of the film by Steven Spielberg that he found far better than the final theatrical version. As of 2016, this rough-cut version has never been released in any authorized format.
I'm like Ellie, lol. It's kinda hard to escape bc there's lots of movies that have sad scenes. Even if the scene is just remotely emotional, I'll still having tears streaming down my face🤣. Maybe it's bc I'm autistic but it's not a bad thing, just a little embarassing LMAO.
@@casluvs Imo crying is never embarassing, it's just showing you are human and have emotions. Nobody should ever be ashamed of crying. And this movie is one of the saddest, I could never not cry watching it, and I'm an older guy 😄
Hello Isaac, I send you a big hug from Argentina. Your family members will not be forgotten. My family is not Jewish, but we have a great appreciation for them. From us, the Nazis took my great-grandfather away from us in Italy at the end of the war, my dear Nonna was left an orphan. And she came to live here in Argentina. We always pray for him and for the victims of the Holocaust.
Liam Neesons final scene broke me. No matter how many times I watch this movie, I cry at this scene. I read that Ralph Fiennes appearance in character was so close to the real Amon Goeth that one of the survivors (Mila Pfefferberg)who was on set when introduced to him began shaking uncontrollably. Great movie!
@@a.g.demada5263 Yes. He had taken on not just the appearance but mannerisms for the role and when the survivor saw him, she shook with fear because it reminded her of the real Goeth.
@@livvyb3583 Such a testament to what a great actor he is but weirdly scary in specific instances like this. Like he's just doing his job really well but he must feel a twinge of guilt traumatizing a survivor like that..
I remember in high school, they used to show us such films to educate us on the subject. I used to cry every time and the kids would make fun of me.. how sad of them..
The shower scene is an example of the psychological torture Jews went through. Those poor women were convinced they were being sent to a gas chamber, that they were about to die. When the water comes on and they realize it's just a shower, they are overcome with relief that they are not dying. I also feel like some of them might feel they'd be better off dead, because then their torment would be over.
My father served in Patton's 3rd Army 42-45 (687th FAB)....Thru Normandy ( Second waves.) , the battle of the hedgerows, Battle of the Bulge... One of his last duties in Europe was helping "clean up" Buchenwald concentration camp in the spring of 45....He brought back pictures he took there.....Any depiction of the "camps" in this movie are toned down!!!!
And to think there are some people out there that think that the Holocaust never existed! 😡 Some people need to get properly educated these days. Much respect and salute to your father in his services by the way
@@robertdurant7934 My mother later burned those pics...She said because those corpses were naked but it was because he would take them out and look at them... He only made few statements about the war... Like "You don't know stink until you smell burnt humans" ....He mostly left the war behind and raised a family.....He would tell me a few things like when I was in school he said "The Germans had guns that could shoot around corners"...I thought he was nuts until years later I saw those type firearms on the History Channel ......But when the first SWAT teams were on tv (With SS helmets dressed in SS black) storming into people's homes...His fingers dug into his recliner with rage.....He saw Stormtroopers!!!
The scene where the Nazi plays the piano, while other Nazis kill an apartment full of Jews is the hardest for me. Mankind is simultaneously capable of great beauty like music, but at the same time they can perform unspeakable barbarity on each other. It's the one scene I think really portrays Nazis as human monsters.
*According to me 2 most heartbreaking scenes ever in world cinema.* 😭😭 *1. (**53:11** to **56:09**) on Schindler's List.* *2. When Amitabh Bachchan died in "Sholay 1975".* *I am 100% sure that even a stone hearted person will cry after seeing these 2 scenes.* *Nothing can match these scenes in world cinema in terms of most emotional heartbreak scenes.*
There was a man Nicholas Winton who saved over 600 children like this in the war. Decades later they held a ceremony in an opera house to honor him and asked everyone who he saved or was descended from someone he saved to stand up and the entire audience of the opera house stood before him
He saved 669 children. There was another business mand that did the same thing. I can't rmrbr his name. However , there is a statue to him at liverpool Street Station EC1 London.
I saw this movie when it came out. Even today it still wrecks me. We as humans can be so cruel to each other. I will never understand how come we can’t all get along. Or just respect each other and live in peace.
While other animals will fight for territory, mate, and food, only the human animal will fight for such intangible things as thoughts and ideals. As long as there are two humans left in the whole wide world, sooner or later, they will try to kill one another.
"We, as humans", at large are not. Place this blame firmly where it belongs with Hitler`s National Socialist Party`s doctrine to use extreme violence to overthrow. This is not a speculation, it is their well known policy and history. Socialism requires revolution. It has murdered 100M ppl so far. Socialism, is, thus undeniably proven to be evil. Satanic, maniacal and the most evil ideology ever. Ppl who support it are willfully ignorant.
I just rewatched Schindler's List 2 days ago, and I think it's my 3rd or 4th time watching it. I make it a rule for myself to once in a while watch a movie about the Holocaust (Schindler's List, The Pianist, etc.) to remember how brutal, unhumane and disgusting all of it was. A few years ago, my mom told me that my great-grandfather (mom's grandfather) helped about ten Jews escape from Copenhagen here in Denmark to Sweden, as Sweden was not a part of WWII. I'm proud of my great-grandfather, even though he didn't save anywhere near as many people as Mr. Schindler did. I love you girls' reactions, and I hope you're doing well :)
The scene of the train, where people are on the verge of passing out from the heat while the officers are enjoying themselves, brings to mind the image of trucks filled with individuals crossing the border. The officers, acting as border patrol, treat these people as if they were vermin, despite their only intention being to improve their lives and those of their families. Such treatment is utterly inhumane.
📷 Famous LEICA camera and lens company in Germany also saved many Jews in WW2. They hired them as workers and sent them to America, each with a Leica camera so they can sell it to survive in their new home.
Escape From Sorbibor is another good one that is based on a true story. On October 14, 1943 the inmates pulled off the only successful escape during WW2
Esta pelicula solo la pude ver una vez , terminas de verla y te quedas increiblemente triste ..... Steven Spielberg demuestra que es un director increible...
one of the producers of this film (Branko Lustig) who passed away in 2019 was a holocaust survivor. I wonder how he managed to be able to do this film with all the memories he must have had. RIP Mr Lustig.
I just regret that Hollywood never thought of making a film about the greatest hero of all , saving 30,000 Jews , his name ARISTIDES SOUSA MENDES , Portuguese , at the time consul in Bordeaux who saved around 30 thousand people from death by issuing visas to pass to border , even though it was closed by the Portuguese government , he went against the order , later being dismissed from his position and never being able to hold any position again , dying in poverty
Not to disagree with you at all, but god even the NOT tenderhearted (like me) get destroyed by this movie. Lady in the left was going through it, I wanted to give her a hug and a bottle of water, she was looking like she was dehydrating. The best part of this type of movies is that they stay with you, years after. The worst part it’s the same. We should all watch and cry and hopefully learn
The reason why Schindler wouldn’t want to stay is that the factory was in present day Czech Republic and the army that was approaching was the Soviet army. Even with the workers, there is a risk the Soviet army arrests him anyway. So he fled west, hoping instead to encounter Americans, British or Canadian troops - who at the very least wouldn’t send him to the gulag.
I remember going to see this with my wife the day it hit town. Never had a film effected as much as this one did right from the opening scene. The theater was packed that night, and when it ended, there was complete silence. You could hear a pin drop, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. I remember the people from the next show looking at us with one of them saying this is going to be a brutal watch. They all look shattered. The film is a master piece and everyone should be made to see it.
As you are Bulgarians, you should be proud of the actions of your people at that time. The government at the time was absolute trash that allied with the Nazis, but when they tried to form the Waffen Grenadier Regiment of the SS (1st Bulgarian) the soldiers at many points just refused to fight. There was popular resistance.
It's amazing when you think about it, that such a *horror* as the Holocaust could, when the right people tell the story of a part of it ... a *wonderful* and _transcendent_ work of *beauty* is produced, that is _so_ *very* powerful that people are moved to tears by it - and *celebrate* their tears! Thank you for the reaction/review. It was almost as powerful as the movie itself!
In think sadly, Bulgari did participated in the Holocaust: As an ally of Nazi Germany, Bulgaria participated in the Holocaust, contributing to the deaths of 11,343 Jews, and though 48,000 Jews survived the war, they were subjected to forcible internal deportation, dispossession, and discrimination. However, during the war, German-allied Bulgaria did not deport Jews from the core provinces of Bulgaria. Bulgaria's wartime government was pro-German under Georgi Kyoseivanov, Bogdan Filov, Dobri Bozhilov, and Ivan Bagryanov. It joined the Allies under Konstantin Muraviev in early September 1944, then underwent a coup d'état a week later, and under Kimon Georgiev was pro-Soviet thereafter. I want to know more about it since maybe I'm lacking information. Thank you!
The real life horror movies are truly the most horrific, the fact that we humans could be filled with so much hatred an animosity that we decide the death of more than 6 million innocent people is not only warranted, but justified. “Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it” this should be shown in schools, these are the real world lessons we should be taught as kids. This is where the path of hatred leads.
6 million jews, 5 million other undesirables, plus the millions of soldiers who fought to continue their hateful spread and to defend it with their lives
I visited Oskar Schindler's grave in Israel. I also visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum and even touched the trees planted in honor of Oskar and Emilie Schindler along the Avenue of the Righteous of Nations. What Spielberg's movie does not show you is the fact that Emilie Schindler was much more involved with her husband's effort on saving their Jewish workers during the Holocaust.
Ralph Fiennes resembled the real Amon Goeth so much that when he appeared on set in character, some of the Schindler Jews present began trembling in fear.
Not surprisingly, I found y'all's reaction to the unforgettable"I could have got more out" scene to be the most moving moment. And how. Thank you, and thank you, Steven Spielberg & Company!
I watched this movie for the first time last year and I cried through half of the movie. And by the end, I just couldn’t believe I didn’t see the movie that made Steven Spielberg an Oscar winner director sooner. Did this movie deserve Best Picture, yes. Did Spielberg deserve Best Director, hell yeah.
The good thing is that in real life, ralph fiennes is a lovely person. He has this face of a villain so he often plays negatives roles in movies, but he is a nice and lovely person
This film is so heartbreaking to watch but so important to see The Horrors in this film can never fully account for all that was lost from humanity and the terrible scars it left . How an orginised civil society like Germany an educated people could ever perpetuate and accept such monstrous crimes i will never understand to do so is against all reason or logic. 😢
The girl in the red coat was a real girl named Roma Ligocka,unlike her film counterpart, she survived the war, and wrote a memoir titled "The Girl in the Red Coat: A Memoir".
If you got the guts to see that film twice, either you have balls either a compulsive wish to cry. Or both. P.S. I personally heard german people say "To be german is an unforgiving burden" Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world. Talmud, Sanhedrin 4:1 (22a)
Oh my sweet lovely darlings... this is not a film to take lightly! If it does not tear the heart out of you, you are not a human worthy of life! It is a bucket list film, though I have yet to meet the woman or man that could watch it without bawling their eyes out, nor do I care to, it is a journey that defines the inhumanity of the human creature, while simultaneously showcasing the most noble virtues of humanity in the worst situations...
This film, and the reaction speaks volumes. I'll share a story my granny told me; during the war she was one of 4 women picked from a large group of women and children being taken to execution through a wooded field outside poland. The 4 women would take all the clothes (the victims were ordered to strip naked first) and unstitch them whilst the men would fill in the mass grave. She said they walked in a column through a wooded area on a beautiful summer day. They saw squirrels and birds and a little girl, a tot of (as she said) probably 4-5 let go of her mothers hand and ran over to some flowers. She started to pick a bunch of them which enraged a soldier and, in her words now. "He kicked her like a football. She tumbled over and over and sat bewildered in the grass. Still clutching the little stems without flowers." She didnt cry, but toddled back to her mum and handed her the stems. Now i am a grown adult man and still well up with tears when i think of that story. How can a human do that to a little one? As my granny said, your going to kill them anyway. What is one moment to pick flowers, to smile and laugh again? Would it hurt? When my godson and I would walk through the woods hed always find a stick or flower or something and come back so proud and full of joy. It breaks my heart to think of it and it happened to hundreds of families. The hardest thing is to forgive and it is essential, it takes courage. Dont carry hate, pity them. Forgive for your grandmothers and fathers sake and the world can be at peace. I think of them, those people, granny everyday and say in my mind that i love them. Kindness & forgiveness go a long way though its a hard road to walk
No. God will never forgive them and nor should anyone else. Never. Germans supported Hitler`s actions enthusiastically because they believed they were supreme..
I have heard words like barbaric, monstors, pure evil to discribe this movie. What is absolutely chilling to me that this is not some fictional movie from 18th or 19th century or from the middle ages. Thiese atrocities were true & these barbaric events happened less than 80 years ago. Less than a lifetime.
During the Second World War, in the fight against Nazi Germany, more than 20 million citizens of the USSR died. These are the greatest losses in the entire history of mankind. And it was the soldiers of the USSR who were the first to hoist the Victory Banner over the Reichstag.
I like how both Brünnlitz and Auschwitz end with the letters -itz at the end. If someone was speaking about those two places, they would say names sound very similar. Kind of similar, but this is far from the truth, they are quite opposite of each other. First is safe haven, hometown of Jew protector Oskar Schindler and during the day while Schindler himself awaits men on the train station. Auschwitz on the other hand is hell on Earth, it's dark and foggy , there are searchlights, soldiers with dogs. I loved the contrast between the two.
All the German/Slavic suffix -itz basically means is "of", "belonging to", "originating from" - like a family name. So Auschwitz means coming from the location of Ausch (ashy earth) and Brünn means coming from the location of Brünn (a well, fountain, or stream). It's how family surnames are created from those areas.
I am always shocked at how limited these girls (who I love) are in knowledge of their own Bulgarian history. A reluctant German ally they resisted Hitler and saved their 48,000 Jews. They did allow deportations from newly acquired territories held with the Germans. Brave protests by politicians, the Bulgarian Orthodox church and the public spurred Tsar Boris III to thwart Nazi ambitions. Denmark courageously saved 90% of theirs but at wars end Bulgaria had 50,000 Jewish residents.
This movie reveals the similar yet just as unique manner each of these exceptional women's personalities approach watching a film such as this. Lia constantly trying to figure out and truly comprehend what she is watching. Michelle always projecting a stoicism and guarded humor when you know that deep down she has a heart of gold. Vicki and Ellie are an open book emotions sad or joyful simply laid bare for all to see genuine with no sense of pretense. Each one of these ladies are a pleasure to watch in their own way. Lastly Vicki and Lia must react to one of my favorite movies that Ellie and Michelle have already seen Good Will Hunting
The SS motto: "Thy honour is my loyalty" or "My honour lies in loyalty" and most SS personnel followed the motto to the letter and to the grave. A lame excuse at war's end from most SS and German military personnel, most saying about the crimes they committed or saw and did nothing "We were following orders" yet they knew the massacre killings were criminal by them trying to destroy the evidence.
This movie was so difficult and harrowing to make that whilst they were filming, at the end of some days Steven Spielberg would ask Robin Williams to phone him to tell him jokes and make him feel better and hopeful again about life.......
I went to see Schindler’s factory. It was very moving. You might be interested to watch Inheritance where Helen meets Amon Goethe’s daughter Monika. Monika did not know who her father was, until she watched this film.
Well done girls, I am 51 and back in the day I did see it in the cinema you could hear a pin drop and only here and there some silent crying , I still cry watching it and I have seen it at least 100 times , The sound track is amazing especially Ithzak Perlman , Thank you for this
I can see why this film has a huge impact on these 4 women. They're from Bulgaria that's in eastern Europe. Both the Holocaust and WWII brought nothing but pain, death, misery, and sadness. Maybe, some of their early relatives got caught up in the Holocaust.😢😢
He saved thousands but he actually saved hundreds of thousands of the future generations Oskar schindler may he rest in peace was a true angel from God one of my goals is to visit his grave and put flowers
I think the most interesting on set story from this is when survivors were visiting the set, and one of the women nearly fainted when she saw Ralph Fiennes step out as Among Goeth in full uniform. She said for a moment she thought Amon had somehow come back from the grave to finish her.
Yup I also related that in my post. Obviously I feel most sorry for the survivor to have to relive that in her mind but I also feel quite a bit sorry for Ralph as he was just acting a part and just happens to be a good actor who also shared a visual look with Goeth.
@GeorgeAdept No one curr, Nazi muffin.
But Ralph Fiennes did his best to reassure the victims of Goeth on set that he meant them no harm that he was only acting a part, unfortunately his character turned out to be a SS Death Head psychotic.
Omg
If you read up on Goeth and the things he did, the movie almost makes him look tame by comparison.

@@orangewarm1, I did not cry during the movie, until he began speaking about the ring and car saving a dozen more humans, because that was not how Oscar Schindler was at all. Read the book.
@@orangewarm1 , the ongoing wars and suffering humans have been put through since the holocaust is disappointing to me, the ladies’ reaction was reassuring but it isn’t close to universal, at least not among some of the world’s political leaders.
@@guslakis, the women's crying caused me to cry more than the movie did. I watched this movie in the theatre with men. I believe there is a reason why Adam looked at Even and said "woman, for she was taken out of man" and it had occurred at the breast.
Noah - "from toil of hands, this same shall be Comforter of"
woman - "this same shall be Comforter of man"
Yahweh - "The Lifted High, this same shall be Comforter of"
In the Garden of Eden, the Holy Spirit was still in man and so Adam was stating that though he had just named all the animals in the Garden of Eden nothing was like the Holy Spirit of God to him until he saw a woman.
English came from the Germanic language which was unified upon Martin Luther writing the first Germanic Bible which caused Germany to be created as suddenly all the Germans wished to speak that germanic language and to be able to read the Word of God in their native tongue.
Man was made upright, but finds many devices, while women were deceived, but can bring salvation through childbirth. Yet women will find that upon the man stepping out from being under the correct God why would he submit to serve the weaker sex; hence the curse of the fall for women as the Pentateuch (first five books of the Bible) gives more written rights to women over 4,000 years ago, which caused Proverbs 31 society over 3,400 years ago until Jewish women led the feminist movement in Christian lands to create more written rights than the Pentateuch.
Just my thoughts as to why women have the better spirit, and why lands which give rights to women are closer to the Bible and the thought and mind of Yahweh. Germany was great when Martin Luther created a Protestant Bible and was created as a nation and Germany was great when the Gutenberg printing press made the nation into intellectual readers who created more Bibles than any other nation before as a gift to the world of what makes a nation great. Hitler made Germany weak as it slew off their people and they replaced it with Muslims who were drawn to the area.
@@ReligionOfSacrifice , what evidence do you have to support all of your assertions here?
Yes. Thank you for your hearts. My grandmother lost two sisters and one brother in the concentration camps. There were four of them….they were taken. They were also moved to different areas based on age. She never seen them again. She was the only survivor. She died five years ago. She was 93. Her maiden name was Zelinka.
I was very moved by your Grandmother,s story!She must have thought about them all of her life. Very sad indeed. 😢😢
I am so so sorry 😭💔
so sorry 💔😭
Sorry for your loss...God Bless!
Amon Göht's granddaughter Jennifer Teege is of German-Nigerian descent and wrote a New York Times bestseller called "My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me: A Black Woman Discovers Her Family's Nazi Past". She studied in Israel and didn't find out she was Göth's granddaughter until she was 38.
"I could of gotten more." Hits me every time
A Seinfeld Episode made fun of that line.
Probably was thinking of that girl in red, when it became "one more person."
@jeffk1722 Oskar Schindler never said that anyway. Thats Spielberg's invention. You and I can save many lives a year just by donating $30/month to UNICEF.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 I understand this is a fictional scene (or a speculation). I'm talking about this film's character and what Spielberg was conveying with Neeson's expressions.

@@TheGundamsword The way Jewish people are treated these days so do I
It's been almost thirty years since I first saw this movie. 'I could have got more....' never fails to break me.
If you watch this film and don't cry.......you aren't human.
When Spielberg showed a rough copy of this film to John Willams hoping he would write the music for it. Willams had to leave. He went outside and cryed. He came back inside and told Spielberg he needed someone better to score the film. Steven told him that everyone better than him was dead.
It is Jewish propoganda film
I’ve been to Schindler’s factory now converted to a museum. There are pictures of every person he saved on the outside of the building etched in each window. It was a depressing and emotionally draining place to go to.
just some notes, the concentration camp there which was called plaszow (pronounced, `plashow") was built on top of what was a jewish cemetery. the factory that oskar schindler had was converted into a museum which has pictures and names of the folks that he helped. also the apartment that in that movie where liam is staying at, is actually oskar schindler's apartment where he stayed, seeing that the movie was filmed in krakow, poland.
This movie is only going to get more important as years go by and we lose the last of the generation that suffered and survived. It shows that we can all do more to help others and reactions like this decades after the fact prove that we are one people, that's why we shed tears for those we don't even know
I'm sorry but hatred is in the DNA and these girls wonder what do they mean by good old anti-semitism.
The country of Spain under Islamic rule (711 A.D. to 1491 A.D.) was doing pogroms every decade of their rule against Jews and Christians, but in the 14th century they got pretty awful toward the Jews. They only slew 4,000 Jews in one city in one circumstance in 1391 A.D. They piled the bodies and heads in two separate piles and like a Bible reference the bodies got so high a man on a horse could not see over the pile. These two piles were put before the vizer of Granada who was a Jew being crucified on a cross.
Russia did pogroms against Jews from 1821 A.D. to 1920 A.D. and under communism ripped down every steeple of a church throughout their whole land, so after 1917 A.D.
Eastern Europe did pogroms against Jews from 1881 A.D. to 1922 A.D.
These things are drops in the bucket and the German is referring to policy of complete decimation in the sense Triblinka and Sobibor and Belzec were built for complete annihilation as opposed to places like Auschwitz which were work camps.
In Triblinka alone over 600,000 Jews were slain in less than 16 months and the whole thing was disassembled and unrecognizable. No one would have ever found it had it not been for the Germans meticulous data collection. They found it, even though all that was left was trace shadow of building sites and nearly unrecognizable bone tissue since it was nearly gone.
The movie "Amen," from 2002, covers how the Germans believed it would go, but it was not so... We know the truth.
.. in a way could say Obama was doing the same thing ripping families apart at southernUSA Mexican border
@@johnO21, whether Obama hates Jews or not is still a subject of debate in regards to his policies, but I'd say he's against them. I don't think we can say a nation dealing wtih families coming at their borders is relatable to a holocaust. Your logic is dicey at best.
@@johnO21 let’s go Brandon
@@johnO21 He was doing the same thing as the Nazi's did during the holocaust??? Wtf are you saying, that he killed millions of people?? This is a completely insane comment that I know I probably shouldn't give attention to but wow
The reason why he didn't stay with them at the end is that the approaching Soviet army would not likely have cared if people spoke out on his behalf - particularly Jewish people. He was a card carrying member of the Nazi party and would have very likely been shot. Thank you for such a sincere and emotive reaction as always, worth the watch!
Contextually.......of course he only kept the card as a cover while working against them
@@garyjohnstone6422 Eh, it’s a grey area, he was a full member in order to do business with them, get awarded special contracts and etc
but he never adhered to the ideology or the hatred, yet he was still a nazis party member
even Schindler admitted he was guilty of that and war profiteering
the fact he risked his life and sacrificed his fortune to save people is one of the more interesting aspects of how good people aren’t always good or perfect
but good when it matters and is needed.
It is the only film that can be seen on television in Germany without advertising.
These four young ladies have such warm hearts. Such sad, but beautiful faces. I suppose my face was equally sad. I had to pause and wipe the moisture from my glasses many times.
Glad u guys watched this together, I swear everytime u guys cry I just wanna give each of u guys a hug 🫂. Luv ya homies ❤️
The bit where they drive the children off and they're all waving and the mothers are screaming is fucking diabolical.
During my two year residence in Jerusalem, Israel 16 years ago I took a Holocaust school course that included a 10 day field trip in Poland. One of the places we visited was Krakow. Where the events of Schindler's List took place. Most of my family and I were actually at what was left of the factory, including that long staircase to his office. Also on the hill where Schindler witnessed the liquidation of the ghetto and saw the girl with the red coat and one other film location.
My whole family and I got to visit Schindler's grave a couple of times.
All the homies reacted beautifully to this but I especially love the empathy from Ellie and Viki. Their level of emotion here is really beautiful.
I am Polish and I am often surprised by the lack of historical knowledge among foreigners. The film "Shindler's List" best shows what happened in Poland during World War II. After the war, we were left alone. Western countries turned away from us and left us to the second enemy - Russia. Now they say that we are distrustful... it's probably logical. We are told that we are racists and xenophobes because we do not allow our country to be destroyed by the EU's illegal emigration policy. Our fate has been too hard for us to give up our freedom and normality now.Evil is growing stronger again and I hope that this time people will come to their senses!
People forget that Russia and Nazi Germany worked together to split up poland, and under them, over 13% of the population was exterminated by either nazis or soviets
as much as i respect the soviet resistance against operation Barbarossa and the fact they cracked Berlin
It should never be forgotten their occupation and atrocities in Poland.
Also while i disagree about the UN immigration policy
i will say one of the issues the west had with Poland was not that they were untrustworthy, it was the nature of the far right in Poland. The worry was wether democracy mattered to the polish, as it seems to not matter to so many countries anymore in that sphere who are allowing everything from right wing to literal neo nazis parties to get more power
however, that right wing party has been defeated in the recent election and people are less afraid of poland falling into the likes of Hungary under Viktor Orban where, the press is enslaved and censored, and the democratic election system is rigged.
The Germans organized a system of control that spread terror throughout the Polish countryside, a system based on what Engelking and Grabowski term “German law and lawlessness.” The village security apparatus also targeted escaped Soviet POWs and peasants, weaving a web of fear and death. German terror unleashed dark forces in Polish and Ukrainian societies. While the Germans destroyed the Polish nation, many Poles exploited the assault on the Jews to settle scores, enrich themselves, promote nationalist and antisemitic politics, or to survive at the expense of Jewish friends and neighbors.
Few Poles were willing to help Jews, and those who were endured threats and sometimes retaliation, including murder, from fellow Poles.
The four of you were so incredibly brave to watch this movie and let us see your reactions to it. It is one of the most heart-wrenching movies and yet it tells a story that so needed to be told. Thank you all for your love and devotion.

Thomas Keneally (the author of the book "Schindler's Ark") has claimed in an interview that he was personally shown a six-hour-plus "rough cut" of the film by Steven Spielberg that he found far better than the final theatrical version. As of 2016, this rough-cut version has never been released in any authorized format.
Poor Ellie, torturing herself watching all these super emotional movies this week for the SECOND time. She's going to need therapy 😂.
😂😂😂😂 jajajajajajaja. Greatness
Yeah lol. But she has a good heart. You don't normally see people get this emotional like her these days.
I'm like Ellie, lol. It's kinda hard to escape bc there's lots of movies that have sad scenes. Even if the scene is just remotely emotional, I'll still having tears streaming down my face🤣. Maybe it's bc I'm autistic but it's not a bad thing, just a little embarassing LMAO.
@@casluvs Imo crying is never embarassing, it's just showing you are human and have emotions. Nobody should ever be ashamed of crying. And this movie is one of the saddest, I could never not cry watching it, and I'm an older guy 😄
I saw all 13 faces of death at 9... lol.. they will be fine
17 of my family members were murdered in the holocaust. Thank you for honoring their memory. May we never forget.
Hello Isaac, I send you a big hug from Argentina. Your family members will not be forgotten. My family is not Jewish, but we have a great appreciation for them.
From us, the Nazis took my great-grandfather away from us in Italy at the end of the war, my dear Nonna was left an orphan. And she came to live here in Argentina. We always pray for him and for the victims of the Holocaust.
Liam Neesons final scene broke me. No matter how many times I watch this movie, I cry at this scene. I read that Ralph Fiennes appearance in character was so close to the real Amon Goeth that one of the survivors (Mila Pfefferberg)who was on set when introduced to him began shaking uncontrollably. Great movie!
Really ?
@@a.g.demada5263 Yes. He had taken on not just the appearance but mannerisms for the role and when the survivor saw him, she shook with fear because it reminded her of the real Goeth.
@@livvyb3583 oh, that's crazy
@@a.g.demada5263 Yes if you look into the story of the movie this is a fact.
@@livvyb3583 Such a testament to what a great actor he is but weirdly scary in specific instances like this. Like he's just doing his job really well but he must feel a twinge of guilt traumatizing a survivor like that..
Fun fact: That actor is Voldamort from Harry Potter by the way.
Spielberg's The Color Purple is equally as emotional with fantastic performances and beautiful story. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards
i didn't find it equally as emotional.
That movie sucks
Lol..so do you. Maybe because it's about black people?
That is inferior quality compare to this classic
Not the same doesnt even come close to the shoah.
This is not a movie; it's a documentary - a real life horror movie. Watching it is a life-changing event. Abi gezunt.
I remember in high school, they used to show us such films to educate us on the subject. I used to cry every time and the kids would make fun of me.. how sad of them..
The shower scene is an example of the psychological torture Jews went through. Those poor women were convinced they were being sent to a gas chamber, that they were about to die. When the water comes on and they realize it's just a shower, they are overcome with relief that they are not dying. I also feel like some of them might feel they'd be better off dead, because then their torment would be over.
My father served in Patton's 3rd Army 42-45 (687th FAB)....Thru Normandy ( Second waves.) , the battle of the hedgerows, Battle of the Bulge... One of his last duties in Europe was helping "clean up" Buchenwald concentration camp in the spring of 45....He brought back pictures he took there.....Any depiction of the "camps" in this movie are toned down!!!!
And to think there are some people out there that think that the Holocaust never existed! 😡 Some people need to get properly educated these days. Much respect and salute to your father in his services by the way
@@goanna83 Thanks
How did your father react to what he experienced during the cleanup of the camps?
@@robertdurant7934 My mother later burned those pics...She said because those corpses were naked but it was because he would take them out and look at them... He only made few statements about the war... Like "You don't know stink until you smell burnt humans" ....He mostly left the war behind and raised a family.....He would tell me a few things like when I was in school he said "The Germans had guns that could shoot around corners"...I thought he was nuts until years later I saw those type firearms on the History Channel ......But when the first SWAT teams were on tv (With SS helmets dressed in SS black) storming into people's homes...His fingers dug into his recliner with rage.....He saw Stormtroopers!!!
yet Patton prefered NSDAP folks to Jews and Slavs...
The scene where the Nazi plays the piano, while other Nazis kill an apartment full of Jews is the hardest for me. Mankind is simultaneously capable of great beauty like music, but at the same time they can perform unspeakable barbarity on each other. It's the one scene I think really portrays Nazis as human monsters.
*According to me 2 most heartbreaking scenes ever in world cinema.* 😭😭
*1. (**53:11** to **56:09**) on Schindler's List.*
*2. When Amitabh Bachchan died in "Sholay 1975".*
*I am 100% sure that even a stone hearted person will cry after seeing these 2 scenes.*
*Nothing can match these scenes in world cinema in terms of most emotional heartbreak scenes.*
There was a man Nicholas Winton who saved over 600 children like this in the war. Decades later they held a ceremony in an opera house to honor him and asked everyone who he saved or was descended from someone he saved to stand up and the entire audience of the opera house stood before him
He saved 669 children. There was another business mand that did the same thing. I can't rmrbr his name. However , there is a statue to him at liverpool Street Station EC1 London.
I saw this movie when it came out. Even today it still wrecks me. We as humans can be so cruel to each other. I will never understand how come we can’t all get along. Or just respect each other and live in peace.
While other animals will fight for territory, mate, and food, only the human animal will fight for such intangible things as thoughts and ideals.
As long as there are two humans left in the whole wide world, sooner or later, they will try to kill one another.
"We, as humans", at large are not. Place this blame firmly where it belongs with Hitler`s National Socialist Party`s doctrine to use extreme violence to overthrow. This is not a speculation, it is their well known policy and history. Socialism requires revolution. It has murdered 100M ppl so far. Socialism, is, thus undeniably proven to be evil. Satanic, maniacal and the most evil ideology ever. Ppl who support it are willfully ignorant.
I just rewatched Schindler's List 2 days ago, and I think it's my 3rd or 4th time watching it. I make it a rule for myself to once in a while watch a movie about the Holocaust (Schindler's List, The Pianist, etc.) to remember how brutal, unhumane and disgusting all of it was. A few years ago, my mom told me that my great-grandfather (mom's grandfather) helped about ten Jews escape from Copenhagen here in Denmark to Sweden, as Sweden was not a part of WWII. I'm proud of my great-grandfather, even though he didn't save anywhere near as many people as Mr. Schindler did.
I love you girls' reactions, and I hope you're doing well :)
He who save 1 life save the entire world.
really nice story 😊
You all should watch "It's a Wonderful Life" together. It's a great Christmas movie.
Yes I Agree!!! I think they’d love it!!
I see what you’re doing there 😏
@@oscarparedes4033 I do grow up !!
Yes! My favorite Christmas movie! So heart touching.
The scene of the train, where people are on the verge of passing out from the heat while the officers are enjoying themselves, brings to mind the image of trucks filled with individuals crossing the border. The officers, acting as border patrol, treat these people as if they were vermin, despite their only intention being to improve their lives and those of their families. Such treatment is utterly inhumane.
The scene with the old man being shot broke me.(I hate when old people get hurt, and I get sad when old people cry.)
what movie was number 2?? schindlers list is 1st, forrest gump 4, and the green mile 3. THANKS!.
📷 Famous LEICA camera and lens company in Germany also saved many Jews in WW2. They hired them as workers and sent them to America, each with a Leica camera so they can sell it to survive in their new home.
Escape From Sorbibor is another good one that is based on a true story. On October 14, 1943 the inmates pulled off the only successful escape during WW2
This movie is really sad...one of the best of all time
isn't that mentioning the obvious?
It is good to tell their stories. It was so hard for all of them. May they rest in peace. Thank you Oskar, you are Righteous!
"Whoever saves one life, saves the World entire..." 😭😭😭😭😭😭
The fact a woman who was on the set was shaking because the actor who played goeth was realistic makes the film more sadder
what finally got me was realizing every name spoken was a real person from the maniacally detailed historical record
I think only a sadic or a non human cannot cry to this movie. It’s a punch on your stomach
Esta pelicula solo la pude ver una vez , terminas de verla y te quedas increiblemente triste .....
Steven Spielberg demuestra que es un director increible...
I have been to Auschwitz 3 times, Schindler's factory once. The camp is 30 km from Krakow. Ghosts abound. Never forget.
Your doggy felt that you were sad and he came to comfort you 🥺
one of the producers of this film (Branko Lustig) who passed away in 2019 was a holocaust survivor. I wonder how he managed to be able to do this film with all the memories he must have had. RIP Mr Lustig.
I just regret that Hollywood never thought of making a film about the greatest hero of all , saving 30,000 Jews , his name ARISTIDES SOUSA MENDES , Portuguese , at the time consul in Bordeaux who saved around 30 thousand people from death by issuing visas to pass to border , even though it was closed by the Portuguese government , he went against the order , later being dismissed from his position and never being able to hold any position again , dying in poverty
Awww you all are the sweetest. So tender hearted. 💛
Not to disagree with you at all, but god even the NOT tenderhearted (like me) get destroyed by this movie. Lady in the left was going through it, I wanted to give her a hug and a bottle of water, she was looking like she was dehydrating.
The best part of this type of movies is that they stay with you, years after. The worst part it’s the same. We should all watch and cry and hopefully learn
The reason why Schindler wouldn’t want to stay is that the factory was in present day Czech Republic and the army that was approaching was the Soviet army. Even with the workers, there is a risk the Soviet army arrests him anyway.
So he fled west, hoping instead to encounter Americans, British or Canadian troops - who at the very least wouldn’t send him to the gulag.
27:48 - I remember reading in the book about this scene. It stuck with me so that when I saw the film, I knew what was going to happen.
I remember going to see this with my wife the day it hit town. Never had a film effected as much as this one did right from the opening scene. The theater was packed that night, and when it ended, there was complete silence. You could hear a pin drop, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. I remember the people from the next show looking at us with one of them saying this is going to be a brutal watch. They all look shattered.
The film is a master piece and everyone should be made to see it.
As you are Bulgarians, you should be proud of the actions of your people at that time. The government at the time was absolute trash that allied with the Nazis, but when they tried to form the Waffen Grenadier Regiment of the SS (1st Bulgarian) the soldiers at many points just refused to fight. There was popular resistance.
It's amazing when you think about it, that such a *horror* as the Holocaust could, when the right people tell the story of a part of it ... a *wonderful* and _transcendent_ work of *beauty* is produced, that is _so_ *very* powerful that people are moved to tears by it - and *celebrate* their tears!
Thank you for the reaction/review. It was almost as powerful as the movie itself!
The man who put the two roses on the Stone was Liam Neeson
In think sadly, Bulgari did participated in the Holocaust:
As an ally of Nazi Germany, Bulgaria participated in the Holocaust, contributing to the deaths of 11,343 Jews, and though 48,000 Jews survived the war, they were subjected to forcible internal deportation, dispossession, and discrimination. However, during the war, German-allied Bulgaria did not deport Jews from the core provinces of Bulgaria. Bulgaria's wartime government was pro-German under Georgi Kyoseivanov, Bogdan Filov, Dobri Bozhilov, and Ivan Bagryanov. It joined the Allies under Konstantin Muraviev in early September 1944, then underwent a coup d'état a week later, and under Kimon Georgiev was pro-Soviet thereafter.
I want to know more about it since maybe I'm lacking information. Thank you!

This is how humanity should react to this movie.
One of the best if not the best WW2 movie.
The real life horror movies are truly the most horrific, the fact that we humans could be filled with so much hatred an animosity that we decide the death of more than 6 million innocent people is not only warranted, but justified. “Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it” this should be shown in schools, these are the real world lessons we should be taught as kids. This is where the path of hatred leads.
6 million jews, 5 million other undesirables, plus the millions of soldiers who fought to continue their hateful spread and to defend it with their lives
Liam kills it in that last scene
killed the whole film. i think its his best.
War sometimes serves a noble purpose, but most wars are not needed and are very ugly. People can be ugly.
I visited Oskar Schindler's grave in Israel. I also visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum and even touched the trees planted in honor of Oskar and Emilie Schindler along the Avenue of the Righteous of Nations. What Spielberg's movie does not show you is the fact that Emilie Schindler was much more involved with her husband's effort on saving their Jewish workers during the Holocaust.
Ralph Fiennes resembled the real Amon Goeth so much that when he appeared on set in character, some of the Schindler Jews present began trembling in fear.
Lmao
Jewish lies.
This movie is powerful and how important to treat other people as human beings
@GeorgeAdeptyou need help
A movie that should not ever be forgotten, In this lifetime, or any future lifetime.
Every single reaction I’ve ever seen of Schindlers list always starts with a smile, and ends with tears
Not surprisingly, I found y'all's reaction to the unforgettable"I could have got more out" scene to be the most moving moment. And how. Thank you, and thank you, Steven Spielberg & Company!

@@ButcheryTapes No. You're an edge-lord that isn't funny at all.
I watched this movie for the first time last year and I cried through half of the movie. And by the end, I just couldn’t believe I didn’t see the movie that made Steven Spielberg an Oscar winner director sooner. Did this movie deserve Best Picture, yes. Did Spielberg deserve Best Director, hell yeah.
The good thing is that in real life, ralph fiennes is a lovely person. He has this face of a villain so he often plays negatives roles in movies, but he is a nice and lovely person
This film is so heartbreaking to watch but so important to see The Horrors in this film can never fully account for all that was lost from humanity and the terrible scars it left . How an orginised civil society like Germany an educated people could ever perpetuate and accept such monstrous crimes i will never understand to do so is against all reason or logic. 😢
Such a Stunning Piece of Film Making. I Dare Anyone To Watch This & NOT CRY. Powerful, Terrible, Horrific This Film Captures Everything.
This movie is the key to why we should always be thankful for what we have and not living in such a horrible time like this movie setting 😢
The girl in the red coat was a real girl named Roma Ligocka,unlike her film counterpart, she survived the war, and wrote a memoir titled "The Girl in the Red Coat: A Memoir".
If you got the guts to see that film twice, either you have balls either a compulsive wish to cry. Or both.
P.S. I personally heard german people say "To be german is an unforgiving burden"
Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world.
Talmud, Sanhedrin 4:1 (22a)
One of the few films I've only watched once, and will not watch again - because it is too hard to get through emotionally.
Oh my sweet lovely darlings... this is not a film to take lightly! If it does not tear the heart out of you, you are not a human worthy of life! It is a bucket list film, though I have yet to meet the woman or man that could watch it without bawling their eyes out, nor do I care to, it is a journey that defines the inhumanity of the human creature, while simultaneously showcasing the most noble virtues of humanity in the worst situations...
This film, and the reaction speaks volumes. I'll share a story my granny told me; during the war she was one of 4 women picked from a large group of women and children being taken to execution through a wooded field outside poland. The 4 women would take all the clothes (the victims were ordered to strip naked first) and unstitch them whilst the men would fill in the mass grave. She said they walked in a column through a wooded area on a beautiful summer day. They saw squirrels and birds and a little girl, a tot of (as she said) probably 4-5 let go of her mothers hand and ran over to some flowers. She started to pick a bunch of them which enraged a soldier and, in her words now. "He kicked her like a football. She tumbled over and over and sat bewildered in the grass. Still clutching the little stems without flowers." She didnt cry, but toddled back to her mum and handed her the stems. Now i am a grown adult man and still well up with tears when i think of that story. How can a human do that to a little one? As my granny said, your going to kill them anyway. What is one moment to pick flowers, to smile and laugh again? Would it hurt? When my godson and I would walk through the woods hed always find a stick or flower or something and come back so proud and full of joy. It breaks my heart to think of it and it happened to hundreds of families. The hardest thing is to forgive and it is essential, it takes courage. Dont carry hate, pity them. Forgive for your grandmothers and fathers sake and the world can be at peace. I think of them, those people, granny everyday and say in my mind that i love them. Kindness & forgiveness go a long way though its a hard road to walk
No. God will never forgive them and nor should anyone else. Never. Germans supported Hitler`s actions enthusiastically because they believed they were supreme..
I have heard words like barbaric, monstors, pure evil to discribe this movie. What is absolutely chilling to me that this is not some fictional movie from 18th or 19th century or from the middle ages. Thiese atrocities were true & these barbaric events happened less than 80 years ago. Less than a lifetime.
During the Second World War, in the fight against Nazi Germany, more than 20 million citizens of the USSR died. These are the greatest losses in the entire history of mankind. And it was the soldiers of the USSR who were the first to hoist the Victory Banner over the Reichstag.
Its history that should never be forgotten .......... and hopefully never repeated.
I like how both Brünnlitz and Auschwitz end with the letters -itz at the end. If someone was speaking about those two places, they would say names sound very similar. Kind of similar, but this is far from the truth, they are quite opposite of each other. First is safe haven, hometown of Jew protector Oskar Schindler and during the day while Schindler himself awaits men on the train station. Auschwitz on the other hand is hell on Earth, it's dark and foggy , there are searchlights, soldiers with dogs. I loved the contrast between the two.
All the German/Slavic suffix -itz basically means is "of", "belonging to", "originating from" - like a family name. So Auschwitz means coming from the location of Ausch (ashy earth) and Brünn means coming from the location of Brünn (a well, fountain, or stream). It's how family surnames are created from those areas.
I am always shocked at how limited these girls (who I love) are in knowledge of their own Bulgarian history. A reluctant German ally they resisted Hitler and saved their 48,000 Jews. They did allow deportations from newly acquired territories held with the Germans. Brave protests by politicians, the Bulgarian Orthodox church and the public spurred Tsar Boris III to thwart Nazi ambitions. Denmark courageously saved 90% of theirs but at wars end Bulgaria had 50,000 Jewish residents.
2:22 - what just popped up behind the girls in the middle of the frame?
This movie reveals the similar yet just as unique manner each of these exceptional women's personalities approach watching a film such as this. Lia constantly trying to figure out and truly comprehend what she is watching. Michelle always projecting a stoicism and guarded humor when you know that deep down she has a heart of gold. Vicki and Ellie are an open book emotions sad or joyful simply laid bare for all to see genuine with no sense of pretense. Each one of these ladies are a pleasure to watch in their own way.
Lastly Vicki and Lia must react to one of my favorite movies that Ellie and Michelle have already seen Good Will Hunting
Spot on analysis, Paul. Couldn't put it any better.
It is sad how badly his life turned out after the war. He was able to survive on the grateful generosity of some of the people he saved though;.
The SS motto: "Thy honour is my loyalty" or "My honour lies in loyalty" and most SS personnel followed the motto to the letter and to the grave.
A lame excuse at war's end from most SS and German military personnel, most saying about the crimes they committed or saw and did nothing "We were following orders" yet they knew the massacre killings were criminal by them trying to destroy the evidence.
This movie was so difficult and harrowing to make that whilst they were filming, at the end of some days Steven Spielberg would ask Robin Williams to phone him to tell him jokes and make him feel better and hopeful again about life.......
I went to see Schindler’s factory. It was very moving. You might be interested to watch Inheritance where Helen meets Amon Goethe’s daughter Monika. Monika did not know who her father was, until she watched this film.
There's very few directors who can capture the true horror of violence; Spielberg, Scorsese, the Coen Brothers
Very challenging movie to watch and review. I couldn’t leave the theater for 15 minutes after the movie ended. Took me awhile to compose myself.
Well done girls, I am 51 and back in the day I did see it in the cinema you could hear a pin drop and only here and there some silent crying , I still cry watching it and I have seen it at least 100 times , The sound track is amazing especially Ithzak Perlman , Thank you for this
I can see why this film has a huge impact on these 4 women. They're from Bulgaria that's in eastern Europe. Both the Holocaust and WWII brought nothing but pain, death, misery, and sadness. Maybe, some of their early relatives got caught up in the Holocaust.😢😢
He saved thousands but he actually saved hundreds of thousands of the future generations Oskar schindler may he rest in peace was a true angel from God one of my goals is to visit his grave and put flowers
