"There will be generations because of what you did." "I didn't do enough." That part always gets me. Always. 1,100 people there and he felt like he didn't do enough. Such a moving scene.
He was haunted for the rest of his life by that notion... but the man deserves to be sainted, yes, sainted, for what he did. As do all others who stood strong in the face of such depraved and indifferent evil.
Life is so unfair he later died alone without any fame or popularity until this movie released its really unfortunate he never got recognition he deserved untill this movie released but unfortunately he already passed away.
They are in palestine doing the same horrible things that happened to them. I think he would not regret letting them down if he had seen the current zionists
I became a doctor because of those lines "he who saves one life, saves the world entire" - they are powerful words. In my lifetime no other movie has topped Schinders List so far (in my mind anyway)
"There will be GENERATIONS because of what you did" This, folks, is why Sir Ben Kingsley is an underrated actor... the music with HIS delivery made this one of the most epic and beautiful experiences I have EVER witnessed in film!
Yes. That wonderful man, that saint, savior, angel, rescuer did so much but he felt it wasn't enough. He saved all of those people yet where were they when he needed help. He died penniless. That's just as heartbreaking.
I have no idea why people criticize the ending as being "too Hollywood". Yes, it's a very life-affirming movie at the end of the day, but that doesn't stop the (almost overwhelming) sense of tragedy.
ingsoc3125 I agree with you but still. Don't get me wrong I love that movie but it bother me a bit because it's too much emotional. It's too much Hollywoodian, there's scene like the shower scene when Spielberg uses suspense and build tension in it... I hope you can understand what I meant. My favorite movie about the Shoah is The Pianist because there's a greater sense of distance, sensibility, and sobriety for such a dramatic subject like this...
Spielberg isn't why this scene works. It's great writing, acting and John Williams' music. Spielberg is one of the all time greats, but bare in mind his entire team is comprised of all time greats - best composer ever, a top 5 editor, top 10 cinematographer, best special effects team ever, etc.
Right - I meant that through Williams! With Spielberg, it's everything coming together. I mean, he is an amazing director, because every department on his films turns in career best works. But I don't know how much of that is how much creative genius, and how much is his managerial genius.
I'm a Palestinian and really this film is one of the best movies that I have ever watched in my life . Despite the suffering from the Israeli occupation I learnt not to hate . I feel compassion with every human being who suffered from racism and persecution.
Rumor has it that he broke into Bergen-Belsen, killed all the guards with a lightsaber (his Walter PPK jammed after he stuck it into the wound of an SS guard and shot him six times), swept Anne Frank off her feet, carried her out, had the most passionate of jailbait sex imaginable, and then set off for Berlin to kill Hitler.
"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire." For me, this was the line. It accounts for all those throughout history, who have done even the tiniest of things, that, perhaps over the course of time, helped to save the life of even one human being. It venerates all the 'Schindlers' the world never got to know about.
It is one of those profound statements that "rings true" when you hear it. My grandmother was saved because of amazing Polish Catholics. My siblings, mother, aunts, cousins, daughter, niece and I, and all those who descend from us owe everything to them. To the extent that I, or my descendants, can offer anything to the world, it's all because of those amazing Catholics.
Steven Spielberg Directed a movie called A.I Artificial Intelligence. I invite you to watch it if you have not yet. Truly is a wake-up call and made me appreciate my loved ones so much more
This got me to tears, and when he starts saying that he could have saved more, I just burst out into tears, because not a lot of people appreciate the true value of a human being, this movie, an absolute masterpiece
Schindler was always the smartest person in the room... he always was collected and had it together. And for him to break down like this is so unlike him... That's what makes this scene so powerful.
How did Liam Neeson not win an oscar for this movie and especially for this scene ? I am convinced the academy sucks and all of the academy is sold out ever since the beginning
Sometimes great films coincide being released the same year, and great acting is not awarded because there was more great acting than awards. I always remember Dustin Hoffman played Tootsie magnificently and lost to Ben Kingsley who played Gandhi... magnificently. (I think that for any good male actor is harder to play convincingly a woman not making her cartoonish than playing a historical character is for any good character actor.)
In some years there are more outstanding actors than awards. Hanks was amazing in Philadelphia, too. Schindlers list won 7 oscars including best movie. This has nothing to do with " Sold out".
"There are 1,100 people who are alive because of you. Look at them." 1,100. That's half the number of people who were on the Titanic. Maybe if Oskar Schindler was there, he could've saved more. This movie is Spielberg's Titanic.
I was shown this film in a class in high school. After this scene played, the bell to change classes rang and everyone walked out of the classroom in tears. This movie is beautiful.
One of the greatest emotional scenes ever made. The acting of NEESON, BEN KINGSLEY and the incredible background score of JOHN WILLIAMS elevated the scene. 🙌🙌🙏
“whoever kills a soul, without [its being guilty of] manslaughter or corruption on the earth, is as though he had killed all mankind, and whoever saves a life is as though he had saved all mankind”. (Surah Al-maidah, verses 32)
"And whoever saves one, it is as if he had saved mankind entirely" - Quran "And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world" - Talmud All main religions share the same message. A time will come, where we will all live in peace.
this is the scene that broke me and made me cry, I'd been both horrified and disgusted by many scenes in the movie but this scene where he says how many people each item would have saved just shattered my tear barrier.
I always lose it when Schindler breaks down sobbing, lamenting that he could've saved more people if he had done things differently, but he didn't, and then all the Jews he saved try to comfort him with their gratitude. Even if I get through the rest of the movie without shedding a tear, that part always gets me.
Are you kidding me. The acting in this movie was insane!!!! Liam should have won an oscar. Sorry Tom Hanks...love u..but hollywood gifted that one to you
You see, I want to say that was for Forrest Gump but my era is wrong. I'm a cinephile but I refuse to believe Tom Hanks in Philadelphia beat Liam Neeson in Schindler's List. A fine performance, but this is one of the most important films ever made and frequently sits in top 10 lists the world over. Nope. Oscars are f***ed!!
That's 1000 lives. 1000 people who get to grow old, become the loves of someone's lives, who get to live to pursue their dreams, maybe have children of their own, who get to hug their family again, and might one day become a reason a little child has a loving grandparent, 1000 names, not numbers or nameless casualties, who get to live their own stories and spread love for generations. A life is worth more than any gold in the world combined. One who saves a life saves the whole world entire ❤️.
The way Itzhak shakes his head when he hears Schinder is such a subtle yet beautiful note. It says "Don't you dare be ashamed" in a way words fail to describe.
The acting is beyond phenomenal, but the one thing that pushed me to tears was the music. John Williams has the most outstanding range of anyone in any profession ever.
I'm not ashamed to admit I cried at this scene. Historical trivia: Schindler was captured by the French at some point. When they read the letter, they were moved to tears.
Apparently Schindler was arrested by French soldiers, but he gave them the letter written by the people he saved. The interpreter read it, burst into tears, and told the other soldiers. They immediately released him.
I watched this movie in film class a few weeks ago, and I hated myself for not being able to cry. You hear about what the Nazis did, but seeing it portrayed so realistic in this movie hits as hard as it can. This makes me feel conflicted about my respect for Erwin Rommel, a German general. Oskar Schindler is a badass.
Those who will remember Schindler, remember him for sure. I don´t think that he is totally forgotten. Every generation has some People who will give the story of Schindler to the next one. (Sorry for grammer and spelling mistakes)
I don't know why, but I didn't like technically cry for most of the movie. It made me feel like a horrible person, but I also felt that the movie was bumming me out so strongly, my emotions went right past sadness, right to straight up depression. It made me feel so broken. Maybe knowing how hard to watch this movie was going to be, my brain made a dam behind my eyes in which I could feel the waves of tears building up and up. Then at this scene all the tears building up just burst through and I was bawling. I'm not the kind of person to be ashamed of crying at a movie and I often do, I just don't why it took me until scene to fully cry. This whole movie had me on the verge of tears and EXTREMELY depressed, but I almost feel bad that it took so long to starting bawling.
Also I can not stress enough that this is one of the saddest movies ever and depressed me more than almost any movie. I'm just seeing if anyone else knows that feeling of this film breaking you.
I of course because it makes you realize how violent and stupid people can be but then you get people like oscar that it's worth living I mean he did so much and he knew he wasn't getting anything out of it plus Steven is an amazing director
Well, this movie is supposed to show how stupid and cruel people can be. It was very depressing to make (ask the actors) and it's heartbreaking to watch but it shows that people can be capable of good even when they're in hell. We are gonna need people like this soon.
My god. I went though this entire movie holding back tears, and when I got to this scene I started crying, not only because he was crying too, but also because the thought of a human's life being less valuable than a car is just unthinkable.
I really like how they kept in him fumbling the ring and so instantly seeking it to find it. He looks around as he puts on his finger almost confused and bewildered. In this very moment, Schindler was throwing off his mask of faux stoic paternal confidence and revealing the vulnerable, doubting, and flawed man he really was. In that moment, he was equal to and one with those he saved. He felt he did nothing any other man in his position could have done and that far better men could have done so much more. He likely sought monetary gain for most of his life up to that point but for all his successes it was all quite meaningless and empty. That's why he threw away his money the way he described. When he received the ring, it was the first thing that was ever given to him to have any real value or meaning to him. It was so overwhelming and unexpected that he felt completely undeserving of it and broke down. I legit tear up every time I see this scene. Flawless portrayal of a human being.
A beautiful touch I love in this moment: Did you realise this is the first time that Itzhak Stern refers to Schindler as "Oskar"? A true testament to the trust and respect they formed with each other.
I'm from Germany and when I was about 13 I was kind of obsessed wanting to learn more about this time. reading every book on the subject, watchin films etc. Now almost 30 years later I wonder how I did not constantly break down with all the things I learned/watched. This film especially. I want to watch it again. But just re-watching a few scenes on RUclips brings me down to my knees.
All the actors did a phenomenal job, but Liam Neeson just blew me away. In this scene, where he starts to cry and say "I could have done more," I just completely lose it. I'm tearing up just typing the words. You feel every bit of his agony over what he could have done to save even more people, and even the fear that he thought he might be judged by the souls of those people he failed to save. One of the most powerful performances in the history of cinema, for my money. Bravo, Mr. Neeson!
How symbolic that he placed the ring on his left hand. The hand/ finger that usually dons the marriage ring. He married himself to them. It was the sealing of his covenant with those he saved. Profoundly beautiful and profoundly painful as he was in anguish about not doing enough.
It’s estimated that there are 8500 descendants of the Jews saved by Schindler. He really did save the world entire. As the decades crawl on there will only be more who are here because of Schindler’s bravery.
The most emotional point is, Holy Quran contains exactly the same sentence in it. "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire." Section 5, Chapter 32.
Not the least bit ashamed to say I cried during this ending.

My god. I went though this entire movie holding back tears, and when I got to this scene I started crying, not only because he was crying too, but also because the thought of a human's life being less valuable than a car is just unthinkable.
The only bad thing about this movie is that Oskar Schindler didn't live long enough to watch this movie.
The list saved his life.
The list is life.
How can you only show part of this scene? This is One of the most heartbroken scenes I've ever scene. I'll still like...
I really like how they kept in him fumbling the ring and so instantly seeking it to find it. He looks around as he puts on his finger almost confused and bewildered. In this very moment, Schindler was throwing off his mask of faux stoic paternal confidence and revealing the vulnerable, doubting, and flawed man he really was. In that moment, he was equal to and one with those he saved. He felt he did nothing any other man in his position could have done and that far better men could have done so much more. He likely sought monetary gain for most of his life up to that point but for all his successes it was all quite meaningless and empty. That's why he threw away his money the way he described. When he received the ring, it was the first thing that was ever given to him to have any real value or meaning to him. It was so overwhelming and unexpected that he felt completely undeserving of it and broke down. I legit tear up every time I see this scene. Flawless portrayal of a human being.

A beautiful touch I love in this moment:
Did you realise this is the first time that Itzhak Stern refers to Schindler as "Oskar"?
A true testament to the trust and respect they formed with each other.
IMO, this is the most emotionally powerful, moving scene (including about the next 30 seconds which follow) ever recorded on film.
I'm from Germany and when I was about 13 I was kind of obsessed wanting to learn more about this time. reading every book on the subject, watchin films etc.
Now almost 30 years later I wonder how I did not constantly break down with all the things I learned/watched. This film especially. I want to watch it again. But just re-watching a few scenes on RUclips brings me down to my knees.
God, this scene brought me to tears...that music is so powerful, and suits it so well.
Such a touching scene 😢
All the actors did a phenomenal job, but Liam Neeson just blew me away. In this scene, where he starts to cry and say "I could have done more," I just completely lose it. I'm tearing up just typing the words. You feel every bit of his agony over what he could have done to save even more people, and even the fear that he thought he might be judged by the souls of those people he failed to save. One of the most powerful performances in the history of cinema, for my money. Bravo, Mr. Neeson!
How symbolic that he placed the ring on his left hand. The hand/ finger that usually dons the marriage ring. He married himself to them. It was the sealing of his covenant with those he saved. Profoundly beautiful and profoundly painful as he was in anguish about not doing enough.
No matter how many times I watch this, I cry my eyes out on this scene
It’s estimated that there are 8500 descendants of the Jews saved by Schindler. He really did save the world entire. As the decades crawl on there will only be more who are here because of Schindler’s bravery.
I am already again crying now :(
Me too....
Liam Neeson should've gotten all the awards for this movie.
I don't how many times I watched this scene, but it always manages to make me weep.
48 years have passed since his death...R.I.P Oskar Schindler
The most emotional point is, Holy Quran contains exactly the same sentence in it.
"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire." Section 5, Chapter 32.
Yüksel Deveci Lol, amusing
But Islamic fanatics and tyrants kill millions of people ( non Muslims and non-believers ) in the name of the same religion .
@@Royalbob123 lol
yeah im no Muslim but it hit me like salt in my eyes.
@@Royalbob123 I hope you aren't surprised this isn't specific to Islam, or even religion. But ok
.
That letter went on to save his life, he was captured, and he man who found it cried and made sure the right people read it as well!
This is the only movie scene I have ever cried at.
"I could of got more" That line always makes me cry :,(
Its the only movie in all I have seen that actually made me cry
Yet i havent seen a movie that beats this one. True hero.
God bless, if this scene doesent touch you just a bit you are a cold cold human.
This reminds me of the movie, " The Front.." " It only tales one guy. You can be that
guy."
A good man can never shake the feeling that he could've been better.
It was the invisible onion ninjas...man this scene is emotional
i'm ashamed to say i never knew this quote came from the bible till hearing a pastor quote this on a christian television program
There will be generation of MASS MURDERERS because of what you did ...
