Great reaction to a great movie about a tragic situation. When I was in the Army, I visited the former Nazi death camp in Dachau, Germany. It's a mistake for people to think this could never happen again. We have to be very careful.
It will. To Christians during end times
@@H0DLTHED0R That's interesting considering how many Wars Christians have launched over centuries.
First off thank you for your service. My family had 7 or 8 relatives creamated in Auschwitz and you are dead on with your statement that folks need to wake up cause this could happen again, not just to us jews but to any ethnic group, no one is excluded from what crazy leaders in the world could begin
It's happening in Africa and Asia. Ethnic cleansing.
Every time there's an uptick in antisemitic behavior I get nervous for my children.
The man who made this movie next to Spielberg is Branko Lustig, WW2 survivor. He doesn't get enough credit for this movie (he also worked on Gladiator):
During World War II, as a child he was imprisoned for two years in Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. Most members of his family perished in the death camps throughout Europe, including his grandmother who was killed in the gas chamber, while his father was killed in Čakovec on 15 March 1945. Lustig's mother survived the Holocaust and was reunited with him after the war. On the day of the liberation, he weighed only 66 pounds (29.94 kg). Lustig credited his survival in Auschwitz to a German officer who happened to be from the same suburb of Osijek as Lustig. He overheard Lustig crying and asked him who his father was. It turned out the officer had known Lustig's father.
Lustig received his first Oscar in 1993 for the production of Schindler's List, a film based on the novel of Thomas Keneally (which is, in turn, based on the true-life story of a German manufacturer who saved hundreds of Jews during World War II). Lustig himself had a cameo early in the film as a nightclub maitre d’. In July 2015, Lustig presented the Oscar to Yad Vashem for eternal safekeeping.
Imagine the emotion of that reunion damn
How did he end up in German camps and not one of the Croatian camps
@@NapoleonBonaparde People got shipped around, especially later in the war.
He passed away just last year.
@@sspdirect02 "Fun" fact: "Branko Lustig" literally translates to "Branko Funny" in German.
This is 100% a true story. He started with greed, then was altered by the situation. People can change and learn.
It’s not 100% true. The author of the book made so many embellishments that the book has to be put in the fiction section in libraries.
@@117rebel The book was always written as historical fiction and never meant to be considered a biography. The author was upfront about it from the beginning. The bones of the story are fact, the rest is the author's imagination of how those bones were fleshed out. There is no way Keneally would have won the Booker Prize if he ever intended his work to be thought of as fact.
My understanding was that there was a lot of bribery and extortion involved choosing who would and wouldn’t be on the list; he and the guy helping him saved lives, but it’s not like there wasn’t any penny-pinching along the way.
@@samwallaceart288 He saved lives and put his on the line. Have you?
@@brianwilson3952 Haven’t. I’m saying the movie is a romanticized portrayal when it comes to Oskar’s character arc specifically. This in no way diminishes the great things he did. I’m merely critiquing Spielberg’s decision to, in some ways, simplify Schindler’s character for the sake of the story. The same criticism applies to how Spielberg handles Abraham Lincoln.
Schindler didn't start off as a good man. He started as a war profiteer and just needed the workers. Over time he changed tho, as you see in the rest of the movie.
If he hadn't been a crook and a conman, he wouldn't have been able to pull off what he did. It required that comfort with breaking the law, being a party animal, social courage, lack of embarrassment, and eye for a grift. Apart from anything else, he needed to make a ton of dodgy money for all the bribery required.
@@patrickholt2270 More than that, Schindler actually helped to facilitate the start of WWII - through his criminal activities in Poland!
Not to make an excuse for his actions but it was the reality for regular people and business owners at the time. You couldn't really do anything without being at least a minor member of the Nazi party; akin to the Soviet type political system.
I think it was the case that its easy to demonize groups of people and go along with it , but seeing the individuals involved is not the same and Schindler just couldnt go along with it then
And here we go, bash the man who saved so many. Never fails. Hey dumbass, ALL people have good and bad to them. Time to grow up eh?
The part you misunderstood was Schindler giving Stern a fancy lighter so he could use it to bribe the bookkeeper in charge of man power to transfer the guy who survived the misfire to his factory.
Ralph Finnes as Amon Goethe with that eagle eyed stare is truly terrifying.
Amon Goethe's granddaughter is half German, half Black. She wrote a book about her experience of finding out who her grandfather was. It is very, very interesting and eye-opening. It is called "My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me: A Black Woman Discovers Her Family Nazi Past" by Jennifer Teege.
@Michael L Morrison: I'd never heard about this, it sounds fascinating. Many thanks for the tip.
@@douglasmilton2805 you’re very welcome!
Ralph Fiennes should have won the Best Supporting Actor at the 1993 Academy Awards: it must rank as one of the most outstanding performance on screen ever which was, at once, subtle, restrained in its avoidance of caricature: the embodiment of pure evil.
Amon Goethe was in prison when the war ended and he was facing a death sentence
Fall of all things embezzling money from Auschwitz. The Nazis had no problem with genocide but there would execute you for stealing money from a death camp.
My grandparents lived and fought through all this madness. Their stories will live with me forever. Thank you for watching this!
The incident with the Rabbi, the hinge, and the malfunctioning pistols actually occurred. He told the story in an interview. God's mercy.
Quote; "God's mercy"..... ? Is that the same God who put him there?
@@Four-of-Six Listen atheist dikhed, keep your smartassery to yourself. GFY. Tell you what. Why don't you "go pop yourself" and ask Him. You atheists can't seem to NOT run your trap about someone else's beliefs. You seriously want to know why they were there? Go ask the Yad Vashem and I'm sure they'll school you in history as well as Yashua's point of view. Or just go pop yourself and ask....don't be lazy.
@@TexasVeteranPatriot 👏👏👏
@@Four-of-Six No, that was the Nazis
I'm Wiccan and I still feel like the gun not working was the act of something bigger than us. Please don't disrespect other peoples beliefs. That's part of what led to the insantity of WWII and the near destruction of an entire culture. We all believe different things but we need to learn how to live together. It saddens me to see people in this day and age degrading someone elses culture or belief just because they don't believe the same thing.
When discussing this movie or anything related to the more than 6 million people that died, please show some respect and reverence.
Basically, don't be a troll.
This is one of my favorite movies that I can rarely bring myself to watch very often. “Powerful and moving” barely scratch the surface of its impact on one’s soul.
Very true. For me, it is also one of the most uplifting (as long as I watch to the very end). The final scene of the "Schindler Jews" and their descendants honoring his grave by leaving rocks as they file past really shows how much of a difference one flawed human can make when they decide to do the right thing. A few years ago it was estimated that there are approximately 8500 people alive today because of what he did.
Hector's Mommy - Yes, I never regret watching it when I do, but I have to be in the right mood to sit through the awfulness of it, knowing real people went through this.
@@mena94x3 Me too. I think I have only watched it 3 times, including the original viewing in the theater.
The only movie that is shown without any ad breaks, split screens or any other break (except for news) in Germany. We take our horrible history very serious.
@@andyhunt7494 I just looked it up, do you mean that Russian movie from the 80's? I don't know if it's on German TV, but if it's just half as impactful as wiki makes me believe, I'm sure it is.
Movies like this are most likely shown by public broadcasting channels here (with the exception of Hollywood productions like Schindlers List).
Those who don't learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them. THAT is the use of history, to save us. Because Man is the only animal that stumbles twice on the same stone.
A cynic might say it's virtue signaling
@@doppelbanger5797 call it what you want but I guess in Deutschland of all places where the crimes occurred it should be taken seriously
THIS AND "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN" ARE THE ONLY 2 MOVIES TO BE PLAYED UNEDITED WITH NO COMMERCIALS IN THE U.S.!
"You've lost weight."
"Only in the shoulders."
It means he's got less weight (stress) on his shoulders, but it's fair to say he was being sarcastic.
the path to evil is the same as good ... it begins with small steps until you start taking bigger and bigger steps
If you haven't watched The Pianist, I highly recommend it, because that too is a true story about a Jewish concert pianist who lived through and survived the Holocaust. You definitely need to do a reaction video on that. 👍👍
It may be a good movie but it's directed by a convicted child rapist, so maybe don't give him money or attention by watching it
This movie crushed my heart.
May his memory be a blessing
I love how you react! You have a real sharp intuition and you pick up on very subtle aspects of the movie ( thing that a lot of reactors miss). You then communicate these ideas in your own unique way that really gets the point across. You have earned a new subscriber!
When all the pistols wouldn't work so that the commandant couldn't murder that one man, that's a genuine miracle of God. As it happens that man was a Rabbi.
God can save one man, but not six million people? Pretty weak miracle worker. I think that god should be brought to trial for criminal negligence.
@@natureandphysics403 Been done. The movie is 'God on trial' www.imdb.com/title/tt1173494/
On a more practical level the Germans suffered from mass expansion of their manufacturing base, foreign factories making their own nations weapons being forced to convert to making German types and a lack of trained workers being compensated by using unskilled foreign and involuntary workers.
Which means that either through teething problems in new factories and workers who either didnt know what they were doing or were deliberately sabotaging weapons the nazis suffered from a lot of manufacturing faults such as incorrectly forged firing pins and ineffective ammunition.
Add the fact that the front line troops got all the best equipment and concentration camp/factory guards were way down the priority list so they were left scrambling for all the junk and cast offs then you can see why they had problems.
The chance of bad firing pins in three guns or ineffective primers in two different calibers or a combination of the two is unlikely however.
I lost family at Auschwitz and this movie crushes me every time. I’m so glad you took the time to watch this because our memories will help ensure this never happens again. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Respect
When this came out in 1993, I was in high school. Most of my friends - and the school - were jewish. We had a whole school field trip to see it. That was a gut-wrenching trip, because all of my friends had family members they lost in the war.
😢
I luv that Story,,,,,,,
I posted this story of my Pa (stepfather) talking about his parents back in those days, his mother lived to be 102 and 7 months. ruclips.net/video/dPbyCZxtbTc/видео.html
@@RideoutReviews ur one of the best reaction videos
And for me as a German it's amazing to watch you watching this movie. Seeing that amount of innocent naiveness of a young schoolboy in your eyes. The stuff you see is a depiction of things that really happened. And somehow I feel you think it's just a movie and everything, the whole movie was just completely fictional. This movie is not as superficial as almost all other US-American Hollywood movies... 😉
@Frank Silvers I think he Just means as in how Brazilians or Colombians are Also Americans dispite not being from the US.
He does not think that it's just a Hollywood movie. He had never heard of Oskar Schlinder before because his story was not taught in American schools and the Holocaust only touched upon lightly in High School while teaching about ww2
He watched this of his own volition and educated himself. Do not pass judgement on him so quickly...and as a German, you should know better than to do such a thing.
I feel you. As an American the laughter was a turn off. I dont find anything about the Holocaust one bit funny. Thanks for speaking up. My name is Teresa by the way. HAPPY NEW YEAR
Agree 💯👍
@@mediocremaiden8883 definitely agree with you I think he totally gets what’s going on.
Great Rideout reaction! We come to see you be you, and you are upbeat and fun, but I really appreciate the thoughtful silences in this review. Glad the story still moves all types of people regardless of age, religion, or where you come from.
FYI: He was a difficult character. At first (during Nazi times) he was very money driven and was some kind of Nazi sympathizer and took advantage of the Jews, but he quickly realized their misery and changed his attitude as pictured. After the events of WW2 he became a poor man after some failed business attempts. He ended up living in a 1 room apartment in Frankfurt. He just couldn't handle money. Eventually he moved to Jerusalem and got shelter by the very people he saved. His last wish was to get buried in Jerusalem on a catholic grave yard on that holy mountain Zion. Jewish people still pilgrimage to his grave and lay down stones on his grave.
the complicated structure of life indeed....no matter what kind of person he was before he evolved, he had a heart and tonnes of empathy for humankind. Respect
you watch this movie and think that was awful... meanwhile reality was much much worse
Total rubbish!
@@mollykeane2571 Um .... I dont think he meant the MOVIE was awful, I think he's talking about the situation the Jews had to endure is awful. And yes, the reality was far more frighteningly terrifying than any one movie can truly show.
A MOVIE THAT SHOULD NOT EVER BE FORGOTTON IN OUR LIFETIME, OR ANY FUTURE LIFETIME!
The girl in the red dress 18:06 is the moment he realizes and sees it. That's why she's the one person in the movie with color clothing. She's a pure soul. Did no wrong to anyone and still dies.
There are whole videos devoted to the meaning of the girl in the red dress, even even Steven Spielberg himself gave commentary on the meaning. This is for the Audience benefit not Schindler's.
I read an article that talked about the meaning of the girl in the red coat. Spielberg apparently said that, to him, the girls red coat in the black-and-white environment was a symbol of American and other world-wide nonchalance to the plight of Jews and others persecuted by the Nazis. It was so obvious, and right in front of them the whole time, but they did nothing.
Our children will become what they are taught to become. The line: "History repeats itself," is only true when we fail to remember our history.
History seldom repeats itself, but it often rhymes.
Not only was it horrible, it really happened!
Thank you for spending more time on this movie than other reactors. Bless you 🙏❤
This could happen again! Especially when we forget the history we will deemed to repeat!
China
@@michaela9967 More specifically, CCP-China. What they did to Falun Gong practitioners (including forced organ harvesting), what they’re doing to the Uighurs (cultural, if not literal genocide, with a million or so currently in concentration camps), increasing oppression of Tibetans, and now taking away the freedom of the people of Hong Kong… Couple those things with all of the other things they’ve done, are doing or plan to do and you have a recipe for disaster. (I’ve been heavily researching the Communist Party of China for a few years now. It’s going to get bad for everyone, including for those of us here in the United States. Evil is rising again.)
China, israel and Myanmar
@beepboop beep II yup
I like how you started watching the film with laughs and jokes in between. But slowly the smile turns to a frown the deeper you go through the film
This one always gets you right in the feels!
Studied Holocaust in middle school but didn’t fully comprehend the magnitude of that event until I watched this movie as a kid, it absolutely wrecked me
I agree. This movie made it real. We watched it in school.
I remember going to this when it came out in theaters in Minot, ND. At the mall that had numerous movies showing, I think there was at least 2 or so spots showing it and the one that my mom and I went to, I don't think there was an empty seat and only one person left to maybe use the rest room (and I had to go but didn't want to miss anything) and he was back quick. It was silent throughout the whole movie as well. My mom and I kept looking at each other wide eyed at times and didn't say anything and had tears during many times.
I actually visited the house with the balcony where he used the sniper and alot of other places in this film. So hard to understand how much history there is when you walk around these places.
In my high school this was a requirement for all the junior class to watch. We spent a whole day in the auditorium watching it, taking a break and having a huge group discussion. You seriously couldn't graduate without watching.
that’s how it should be. i wish i could the say the same about my high school.. we never watched the boy in the striped pajamas, my 7th grade history teacher had us do a homework assignment on the movie (there was an alternative assignment for those who’s parents didn’t want them to watch it)
We watched newsreels from this time when I was in high school '76-'80. One year we watched Testament
Watch the pianist it’s an amazing film also about the persecution of the Jews and how one man survived the war.
Love that you're taking time to watch and react!
Got a tear out of this grown-ass man..Very powerful movie.
Just remember, whatever you see in the movie was worse and more widespread.
The man who was making the hinges did not work for Schindler at the time (remember, Schindler's factory did not involve hinge-making), Stern had Schindler provide him with a bribe to have him transferred over afterwards. Same with the boy in the next scene.
ahh I see. Thanks
Just rewatched this movie many years after first viewing. I was born in 1953, so I've been watching documentaries and stuff about the Holocaust all my life. And I still don't get how so many people thought this was okay. No matter how long l live, I don't think I'll ever get it.
"That leather is loud!!" hahaha
Aw man. Haven't even started watching yet and I already have peepee in my eyes. I'm gonna binge your reaction now, thank you so much for watching this big piece of history. I know it has been a while since you reacted to this but PLEASE watch the boy in the striped pyjama sometime. that one made me bawl the most. PLEASE.
The Real Amon Goeth was a real person. And not surprisinly, a real Psychopath.
Ralph Fiennes as Göth was outstanding
HOTEL RWANDA is powerful, too.
To answer a question, yes this really happened. People were murdered in the streets of Warsaw. shot, bayonetted, strangled with piano wire, burned to death. The next question is how can people do that to each other, all you have to do is look around, people have been killing each other since Cain and Abel. My ex-wife's grandparents and father made it out of Austria just as the Nazi's were marching in, that is why I feel so strongly about this. All the rest of her extended family were murdered during the Holocaust.
What a movie to react to, brother. You did this movie reaction justice 💯
Ralph Finnes potrayal as Amon Göth was incredibly convincing. As psychopathic as he seems, they actually had to tone down his evilness in the movie. They explained it that he was so evil, that viewers might wouldnt believe it. There were some Suvivors on the movieset and seeing Ralph Finnes in the uniform and acting actually scared them.
Its hard to express, how sadistic and psychopathic he was and weÄre never allowed to make such mistakes again. Its not that long ago and if we dont learn from this, history repeats itself. There are enough people who would wish for this to happen again.
The music heard in the nightclub is also heard in the Tango scene of the movie Scent of the Woman
There is so much to say about this wonderful man (Schindler) and beautiful film. Schindler took high risks to keep his Jews safe, to guide them safe to the end of the war. But of course he couldn't safe everyone. The man was a Gods send. After the war, he was an emotional wreck, a broken man. He tryed to buildup a new factory in Argentina, but he failed. I hope to see that man in heaven one day. Great respect.
Nice job. So many reaction videos out there listening to empty-headed and immature assessments that make me want to gouge out my eyeballs.Yours is insightful and demonstrates the ability to abstract think. And, you are engaging. Finally, the way you edit the scenes flow very nicely. Thumbs up and subscribed.
Never expected this but it's a welcomed one ☺️
You'll never be the same person, after completing Part 2.
Many 🤗🤗 for you and yours.
You, sir, are a MENCHE ~
14:13 To Nazis, being assigned to the Eastern Front, or in any part of the former Soviet Union during World War 2 is like signing your death certificate. 🤣
Niether of them would be in a combat unit as one was a nazi official who was helping people being shipped off and the other was a totenkompf officer who would probably be sent to rounding up the jewish population in soviet cities.
Ayy man great reaction
I was way too young when I watched it . They showed it on tv without commercials back in 96 I was just 11 years old ,I cried my eyes out and ever since than I’ve done independently studying on the Holocaust .
I have to be in the right frame of mind to watch this movie. Some of the stuff portrayed is really disturbing. Makes me cry and hits me in the feels every time. It is a movie everyone should see and if it doesn't leave you thinking, you are not human.
One of my favourite movies of all time. So impactful. John Williams score is something else, I still tear up when I hear the violin solo. If you want to learn a little more about Schindler you should watch a RUclips video on the channel Biographics. He has quite a lot of good information on the man and it only about 20 minutes long.
this is where the term ghetto comes from. when they walled up the Jewish people the area became impoverished and in disarray. it literally looked similar to what the ghetto here looks like (things that make you go hmmm)
Thank you for watching this! I would love to see you watch and react to it’s a beautiful life.
The things that draw me to these kinds of movies are the 3 things I find fascinating about our species. Our ingenuity, our cruelty, and our drive to protect/help each other in dire times.
20:30 losing weight off ones shoulders is an old fashioned way of saying "weight is lifted off ones shoulders, " as in, i havent lost weight due to ill health, a weight has been lifted off my shoulders- eg im living well- no problems here for me
p.s your reaction was so genuine, bless you, e hoa
One of the greatest films ever made. I appreciate you watching it.
The old analogy won out you can do more damage in the system then out.
The use of color in this film is amazing.
Does it count if i cry everytime i see the movie or hear the soundtrack still after years?
Never seen someone laugh so much during this movie.
When I was 15, me and my church's youth group went Krakow for pilgrimage. It's a beautiful and vibrant city with history and decadence for those who seek it, but also has an eminent sense of sadness. The scars of Nazism and Sovietism had left the city in a bit of disarray but it has improve drastically. It's a great place to visit if you get the chance.
Is it just me or does 10:13 have an picture of the previous owners of the house next to an picture of Him and an German officer
I will never forget that I watched this film in the local cinema in Eastbourne in Southern England when it was first released. An entire coachload of German students, about 16-18 years of age and all girls, sat in front of myself and my friend. I knew they would find it hard to watch and I have to say they struggled and I missed much of what was said because of their sobbing during the film. To give them credit not one of them left the cinema and I am sure watching it an a foreign country, knowing it showed the horrors of the German Nazi regime, must have added to the difficulty of sitting through it for them. My original boss in London, a Jew, had escaped Nazi Germany during the war and was the only survivor of his family. Oscar Schindler was a true hero.
diffinitely. It is almost unbelieveable the atrocities that happened. This was definitely an eye opener for me. Sometimes seeing something makes it more real.
Im half jewish half Muslim and glad to serve at the israel defence forces know that we will never let this happen again we won't get shot in the back with our pants down we won't dig our own grave we won't be slave to anyone
Thank you for sharing this. Many of my ancestors were strung up by meat-hooks and piano wire . . .
I think that you educating yourself by watching this movie is very brave and admirable. It is a hard movie to watch, Spielberg even refused being paid for the film calling it "Blood Money" Most people would not care to even attempt to educate themselves on such a dark piece of history. They turn a blind eye to the horrors of the past. Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it. The Holocaust is not taught in schools at least, not in American Schools until Senior Hogh School.or College Level classes.
I commend you for this and for broadening your mind to what these people suffered. You are a good man.
Amon Göth with a sniper rifle at 19:50. "That man is evil."
22:47, new definition of a miracle.
That actually happened I met witnesses to it
The German Army needed every weapon it could get, we are echelon troops and concentration camp guards were issued weapons rejected by the military. The Germans also used slave labor in arms production, the gun was built by someone who had a vested interest in it not working.
Read the book years ago, its called Schindler s ark, it is a big book set aside plenty of time too read 😉😉
Yea. This one of the hardest to watch and most important movies ever made.
That was one... if not THE darkest part of European History - for Germany and Austria! We are regularly reminded of it, although something like this will never happen again and hardly anyone lives from that time anymore. It is a memorial that our great, great, great, great-grandchildren will still remember and learn from and the rest of the world will still hold this against us for a very long time ... if not forever. It is good, right and very important that no one ever forgets these events, but it is wrong and not fair to hold the 3rd, 4th, 5th and all subsequent generations accountable for this. I am partly Jewish, my father had to wear a Jewish star, was only allowed to ride one tram ... and some of the relatives died in concentration camps, or their fates are still unknown today.
Never forget, but learn to forgive.
Never forget the tragedy that happened to our brothers and sisters fallen. Our family. Hold no grudges harbor no hatred only love for your fellow man. But know in truth, you can never truly war for peace. You can only peace for peace. Anything else is an illusion and a game. A bad game at that.
The one thing I hate about Hollywood is they make everything extreme black and white. With these films, it’s Nazis bad, Jews good, or with civil war movies, it’s south bad, north good , or western movies it’s American Indians good, pioneers bad (depending on classic or modern movies).
By the way Schindler's list is based on a novel called Schindler's Ark by australian novelist Thomas Keneally.
My sister asked me to take my nephew to see this in the theater...he was in high school & the teacher wanted them to see it, but couldn’t take the class as it was 3.5 hrs long & R-rated. So I did ... and oh my...my youngest was 3 years old at the time, and all I could imagine was my children in peril. This movie stays with you & affects you for the rest of your life.
You are so right, the atrocities that man can afflict if we don’t stand up against evil. 😞
“How can men just kill like that so easily”
There’s a very good book on that very question called “Ordinary Men” following a reserve military police unit in Poland and Russia. The guys were all in their 40’s and grew up well before Hitler poisoned the youth. Short version is people can be coerced and brainwashed into not only accepting the atrocities but becoming willing participants.
Many people like to think they’d stand up and defy the Nazis had they been there but the scary fact is most of us would have been complicit at least and participants probably.
Thats what I'm worried about in my self, will I have the courage to stand. I'll check out the book. Thanks!
Some of the weight of his world was on his shoulders. He took some off!!
My father fought during World War II. They had a black friend as a driver. He couldn't enter a café with Poles. Well, the US Marines got screwed.
I held off on watching this until it came to home video because I knew I was going to be a wreck, and I didn't want to fall apart in public. Soon after I saw it, I read the book. Would you believe the movie actually tones some things _down?_ In the book, when Schindler watched the ghetto being emptied, he actually fell off his horse and started sobbing on his knees in the dirt. I guess that was a little too melodramatic even for Spielberg (which goes to show you how far he'd grown up as a director by that time).
Those guns for the execution knew the man to be executed was a rabbi...
Now that you've seen this and Saving Private Ryan, you really must see Come And See.
Never seen anyone smile watching this movie before
The story has a sad ending, as well - Schindler died in poverty, almost unknown except to the people he'd saved. It was Thomas Kennealy's book that resurrected his name.
Yad Vashem (The Holocaust Memorial Musem) in Jerusalem, Israel put him on the list of the Righteous Amongst the Nations (a list of non-Jews who saved the lives of Jews during The Holocaust) and has a tree planted in his honor so his life lives on through something else. Every person who is on the list of the Righteous Amongst the Nations also has a tree planted in their honor. It was remarkable to see that. My grandparents survived the Holocaust and are the sole survivors of their families.
Thank you for watching this.
There are three movies i watched that take place in China leading up to WW2 when Japanese invaded Nanking (rape of nanking), i think you should take a look at those also. City of Life and Death, John Rabe, and Flowers of War. to me these are Must Watch also. especially the 1st two i mentioned.
Flowers of War is excellent.
I just couldn't get me to watch this movie for a second time. It is so horrible because it is true. It is one thing to know the events and numbers, but to see it...It shook me to the core.
the truest story ever told
Please pay attention to talk of "essential workers"....sound familiar?
20:00 "To think there was so much evil..."
There is more evil than that today.
If you haven't seen it, I would recommend a frilm for you. It is as different from Schindler's list as humanly possible. It is called Some Like It Hot and stars Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis (Jamie Leigh's dad) and Joe E Brown. It is the most perfectly constructed comedy I've ever seen. And the final scene is the best final scene of all time, in my estimation.
Arguably the greatest movie ever made and probably the saddest. It’s not my favorite but can be argued it’s the best
Watch more films (try the AFI 100) and see what Hanake says about it.
💯% true story, Oskar was a true person whom saved thousands of Jewish people 💖💯
When Europe went nuts.
