Nice timing . Nobody supports all the things that israel does obviously but the level of anti semitism that is spread by iranian regime, hamas and media is well known. They seem to care about palestinians freedom but they r not giving freedom to iranians and iranian jews christians Zoroastrianists had to migrate from iran in 1979 in huge numbers. India has more zoroastrianists than iran. Jews in iran went from 80k to 10k in 1979 and i dont know if there are any jews left in iran now and yet iranian regime is pretending to stand with freedom for others. Iranian regime supports hamas which is not doing any good for innocent palestinians.
I live in Iran, Islamic regime kills Iranians so easily, 4 years ago they killed 1500 innocent protesters in only 3 days, only a year ago after they killed Mahsa Amini for not wearing proper hijab and people went to streets to protest, they again killed around 600 people including 50 kids, and thousands more have been killed, hanged and prisoned since 1979, and as you know they support terrorism now, i feel for the innocent civilians on both sides of the war that have been killed, harmed and forced out of their homes, i hope we get to peace so we don't have to see anymore innocent lives taken, and i wish an end to terrorism and the Islamic regime.
@@sefafefaWhat Hamas commandos did in Israël is pure horror. I cry and cry for the victims and their family. But your president doesn't order justice or saving the hostages. He orders vengeance. I hope your soldiers won't act like nazis in Gaza.🙏 Ukraine has been attacked, invaded, murdered and bombed. Did they bomb russian cities in response ?
@@wadumin Be careful. Isn't it dangerous for you to tell the truth ? I love iranian people. So kind , sweat and brave ! Persian language is so beautiful to hear. Such a beautiful country and art (architecture, cinema ...) ! The people of Iran suffered so much since the 80's and Khomeiny leading. 😢 I'm always afraid for them when go-to-war americans like Trump threaten to bomb Iran ! I hope for you that the liberation from the ayatollahs dictature is near to come 🙏. Friendly thoughts from France 🇨🇵, a free country (for how long ?) which devise is "Liberty, Equality, Brothehood".🤝
We can't mix both things. Jews were murdered by nazism and other before the nazis. But today the govern of Israel, not jews, are comitting a genocide against palestinian people. We must condem and refused both behaviours. Always fight the intolerance and dogmatism.
I'm a descendant of a Schlindler Jew. Took me 20 years from this film's release to finally get enough strength to watch it. Your reaction is genuine. Thank you.
My Zaida was a survivor of the Holocaust and it took me two times to watch the full movie.. I walked out in tears the first time thinking about what he went through.
So many heartbreaking moments in this film, in history. The last scene with Oskar is remarkable. I spent the whole movie crying (in disgust, in anguish, in fear) about the inhumanity of it all and the last few minutes of it crying (in gratitude, in solidarity, in awe) over the determined humanity of one man. So powerful. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your reaction. Cradle the hope! It can be fragile sometimes but worth holding onto!
When Schindler breaks down and cries, he does it for "one more person!" "a person" - he feels the whole loss of what that is, he breaks down and cries like he just lost a loved one - just one person - "a world entire"
Thank you very much for your deeply emotional reaction. As a german... this movie is a very special piece of critical art for me. My ancestors did this. And yes - they really did this. And only a few were pure psychopaths ... many were quite normal people. A lot even well educated. Its so important to not forget. As much as I despise and condemn what my ancestors did under the Nazi regime... as much I am proud that in Germany we established a deep memorial culture about the crimes our ancestors did. We start in school talking about Nazi germany and WW2 - and although many German dont want it and even think it is something to make us feel ashamed I see it very different: We can be proud to be so much aware of our past and to try to learn from it and try to show responsibility because of it. I think EVERY nation should face the crimes of ancestors and try to learn from this. When we Germans who did one of the most horrifying crimes in history can face these crimes... every nation should be able to do this. Its all about NOT dehumanzizing others and create social systems to actively avoid it. We still are really bad at this. Even in "modern" countries our economical system allows to "outsource" really bad behaviour in other countries and almost force people with money to do crimes. But of course so many other elements in the human world exist that makes us dehumanize each other. We must stop this. Every human deserves respect. Every human has dignity and this should not be violated. This movie can help to understand this. The only critique I have with Schindlers List is that its not clear how many German Soldiers and Nazi were not bad people but rather normal who just "operated" in the murderous system. And of cause ideology and brainwashing helped a lot to support it. Although Schindler WAS a hero he could not do a tiny bit to prevent this. And even more important: In the beginning he didnt want to prevent at all but just make profit. Many german capitalist profited A LOT - still there are some very rich Germans where the ancestors profited from the Nazi regime. We have to understand that social systems must be created that let not profit inhumane behaviour. We still have a long way to go. Hopefully we will make it. Thanks a lot for watching this both very great and very painful movie. Thanks for sharing your emotions and thoughts. Wish you all the best for your channel and your whole life and looking foward for checking out other reactions from you 🙂
I'm an American Southerner with some German heritage. I can't effectively express how deeply I respect the German people for facing that horror head-on, learning from it, teaching their children about it, and working to make sure that it never happens again. If only the US could do the same, particularly in my region of the country. We are overdue for a real, communal, national reckoning for our centuries of slavery and oppression, and the grudging attitude we've had toward granting even the most basic equal rights is humiliating. We talk all the time about being "the land of the free," but we really need to take a page from the German playbook on how to deal with ethnic atrocities in our past (and, honestly, present).
@@tanelviil9149 Trolls do what trolls can do. My advise: Find some positive meaning in your life. It really is possible. Even a Troll can develop. Try it.
@@c.a.norwood34 Thanks for your reply. As already mentioned there are also many Germans who feel bad by facing the past. I think it's not easy to find the right attitude. Feeling responsible is not easy if you mostly think in terms of guilt. I don't feel guilty. But I see my responsibility. And also many people think a society is just a bunch of individuals and every individual is totally free. But there is a lot happening on a sociological level. Especially feelings on a sociological level can become very powerful. When I see the conservative people arguing I see a lot emotion that is covered in pseudo-rationality. There is a lot hate and anxiety going on. If you want to address more social responsibility it's a good idea to lower the anxiety and the hate and replace it with hope and a positive perspective. This is not easy. Especially when there many people in all-day struggling with find any perspective. These people can easily misguided. Like those who are deeply indoctrinated with some ideology (or fundamentalistic approach of religion). When I see the USA I see so many intelligent people. I am sure it is possible that even the oldest democracy in the world can evolve. It may seem impossible sometimes. But it then... something very hopeful is happening. Wish you all the best :)
Thank you for doing this film I believe every adult should see this at least once. In 2012 the descendants of Schindler's list was 8500. It always amazes me that he made just enough money to get to the end of the war and then never really did well after. Thanks again.
That last scene of Liam Neeson of "one more" never fail me to cry like a baby. This and Hacksaw Ridge are my favourite reacts of yours, I'm very happy that I found your channel because you have really a spontanous emotion to movies that you don't try to hide, that's what's so unique about you and I really love it
Your reaction to this movie is perhaps the best I've ever seen. The range of emotions you felt were the emotions anyone SHOULD feel. Neeson, Ralph Fiennes (so easy to hate, and the role really had a tough effect on him personally) and Sir Ben Kingsley and all of the cast were superb. Another movie of a similar theme but a much more uplifting one is "Nickys Family" about an Englishman who smuggled out hundreds of children and nobody knew what he did for decades! Another more sinister but with an amazing twist ending is "Remember" with Christopher Plummer.
There's also a similarly-themed but multi-generational movie called Sunshine from 1999, also starring Ralph Fiennes (but this time he's on the opposite side), which is even more horrifying and harder to watch at times than this one.
Another beautifully sincere reaction from you. This cinematic masterpiece is and continues to be my all-time favourite, as it showcases both the worst and best of humanity, and it always manages to evokes emotions irrespective of how many times I've watched it. No one ever wins in a war, especially when many innocent civilians become the collateral damage. Thank you for this genuine reaction and keep up the great content.
Sad fact: The inhumane treatment, the gruesome actions... Everything is actually toned down!! The reality was even more cruel and disgusting. Spielberg had to tone down Goeth because people wouldn't believe what this Monster has done. What all of them have done!
@@wadumin I'm from Germany and we did field trips to some concentration camps. Believe me, I have never in my life been in a place that breathes death and sadness. To say it was depressing would've been an understatement.
Absolutely. "It's too real" It wasn't real enough and you are correct about Spielberg toning down. My mind understands how this happened, but the rest of me-incomprehensible.
Ralph Fiennes was masterful. There is no telling where he dug this character out of himself. But it is beautiful to watch him be utterly detestable. Ben Kingsley was a rock throughout, and Liam Neeson's breakdown was his best performance ever. You can see the love and care put into this one by all involved.
While the Jewish community was hardest hit by the Holocaust, they were not the only ones sadly. Of the 11 to 13 million people murdered by the Nazis, over 1.5 million were Romas ( gypsies). Others included slaves, Russians, political prisoners,homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses, and people with disabilities, ( even those who were German citizens). As right wing ideology is making a comeback, this film is a reminder of what the ultimate result of its consequences. Will humanity ever learn??? Stay safe, stay sane,stay strong
That is what made those American detention camps the Trump Administration created for illegal immigrants so alarming. Especially with known racist Stephen Miller in charge of the illegal immigration policy.
It's truth this movie is absolutely stunning and shocking piece of art and documentary altogether. It's heavy. Screening of this movie should be mandatory on every single school, high school and university. To teach people from their young age what horrible things happen and prevent to make them again. Btw, I strongly suggest to watch movie "Pianist". Same war, same surroundings, same strong story.
Movies like this really should be seen by everyone and as you said we can come together and stop it from happening again, I'll check out ur suggestion, thank u ❤
54:45 The fact that he was actually walking among these people I think was so significant. They weren't rats or vermin to him, but human beings, equal to him. ❤
Great reaction like always, everytime i watch this masterpiece of cinema i cry, its so emotional and touching. In case you are wondering or didn't know, the little girl in the red coat was based off a real person. In the film, the little girl is played by actress Oliwia Dabrowska, who-at the age of three-promised Spielberg that she would not watch the film until she was 18 years old. She allegedly watched the movie when she was 11, breaking her promise, and spent years rejecting the experience. Later, she told the Daily Mail, “I realized I had been part of something I could be proud of. Spielberg was right: I had to grow up to watch the film.” The actual girl in the red coat represents all the survivers and a girl named Roma Ligocka; a survivor of the Krakow ghetto, she was known amongst the Jews living there by her red winter coat. Ligocka, now a painter who lives in Germany, later wrote a biography about surviving the Holocaust called "The Girl in the Red Coat." That i suggest you to read. And some other facts about this movie is that, Spielberg refused to accept a salary for making the movie, Spielberg didn't want a movie star with Hollywood clout to portray Schindler. Kevin Costner and Mel Gibson auditioned for the role. Keep up the good work.
It's always so good to watch movies with you, someone who loves movies and get to experience different things you probably won't notice while watching and share the pure emotions ❤️❤️❤️ I never saw this movie but I'm glad that I'm watching this with you 😊😊
Fun fact: The heated argument between the two soldiers after the 19:43 mark translates to the First Soldier yelling at the Soldier who shot the Boy, asking if he is crazy and that he nearly shot him, how he came that close to shooting him. He does not care that the Jewish Boy was killed, but that he was nearly shot.
"he is the same actor who played Voldemort"... It's so strange most people know Ralph Fiennes only from Harry Potter. He played in many many good films: The English patient, In Bruges, Grand Budapest Hotel, Red dragon, etc
His range is incredible. Grand Budapest Hotel is one of my favourite of his performances. Watching him in this brilliant performance here is staggering to think it's the same actor.
Very moving movie. Before I went to Poland my brother told me to watch this movie. I was actually visiting Auschwitz and also Schindler's Factory. I guess it had me understand more. FYI, the final scene of the man standing in front of Schindler's grave was actually Liam Neeson.
The girl in the red coat was portrayed (at age 4) by a Polish actress named Oliwia Dabrowska who is now a volunteer assisting Ukrainian refugees in Poland.
Your reaction was so pure. Thanks for taking the risk to watch and comment on this amazing film. As a Messianic Jew (and most basically, a homosapien) I applaud you getting this out there for others to see. Everyone should see this movie so we don't ever forget.💪
In the 1970s I met a witness to the misfiring gun incident. Concentration camp guards were considered rear echelon personnel and were issued weapons rejected by the military. Those weapons were made in occupied countries or used slave labor.They had a vested intrest in those weapons not working.
33:18 that is the same reason he had them shoot the foreman of construction earlier, it has nothing to do with her being right, it only had to do with her even telling them it was wrong.
The shooting of the engineer is a scene that was altered in the movie. In the movie, it is done as a way to show the audience how the nazis were treating educated jews, that they did not tolerate them, especially if they dared to show off their knowledge. In real life, that engineer was from the university of Lviv, not Milan, and she knew better than to go talk back to Goeth. So she kept silent. When part of a building collapsed, the german supervisor of the construction put all the blame on her, and she was executed as a scapegoat for him.
The atrocities are unimaginable. In birkenau (largest subcamp in auschwitz) there is a room that does not allow photos in which behind a wall of glass there is an enormous mountain of human hair. Imagine how many people it would take to make a mountain of hair.
but why are the school systems failing kids and not explaining how bad it was. Its a sad movie, but if you know anything about the Holocaust then its not shocking in terms of what happened, its a great movie to make people visually see what they have read. So many of these reactions videos show that the US school system has failed these people when they say they didnt know.
I watched this at the movies by myself In 1995 I was 16 years old. I cried non stop. I’ll never forget this incredible piece of cinema. And it made me research more about the Holocaust
Great video, thank you for this emotional reaction on Spielberg's intense masterpiece. The only point I feel I have to make is that it's probably too easy to put responsibility for mass murder and inhumanity just on ruthless governments or terrorists. I feel the disturbing truth might be it's just human nature. Many of these horrifying murderers during the holocaust had been living very normal lives without any sign of being insane or sociopathic. It's a very thin line that's telling us apart from anarchy and brutality. Let's not be ignorant about this...
There is a difference between someone INHERENTLY WANTING to kill an innocent person for no reason (I would argue that is NOT "human nature"... I know that I personally would never want to do that, and I hope neither would you).... vs. a dictator of theirs THREATENING (for example) their lives (OR lives of their family or their CHILDREN) for NOT "doing their jobs" to go and kill others for the dictator's satisfaction. True that some people would still resist killing others, but I bet that many can be coerced if their family were threatened "or else."
Congratulations. By far, one of the best Schindler reaction videos out of the many I have seen. You featured every significant scene, (unbelievably, some reaction videos don't even show the little girl in the red coat) and accompanied each scene with intelligent, insightful and relevant comments. Your display of emotion during the final scenes was extremely moving. My only disappointment was that you didn't name check the magnificent actors Ben Kingsley, and Ralph Fiennes. It was a travesty that Fiennes, having been nominated for an Oscar, was overlooked.
It's a fascinating story. There are many documentaries about the Holocaust if you're not familiar with the subject, and there are also documentaries about Oskar Schindler. It's a pity the movie doesn't show his wife, because she did a lot, too. She provided food every day (at least later when Schindler got his own camp in Brünnlitz), she opened a hospital wing where she would nurse the sick, etc. In the same camp at Plazow, there were also about 2000 people working for another German, Julius Madritsch (he can be seen in one scene), who also treated his workers very humanely (all things considered), he gave them proper food he bought himself with his own money, etc. When Schindler moved to Brünnlitz, he took 60 of Madritsch's workers with him (he couldn't take more). Schindler's story stands out because he saved so many people in one "take", but there have been others who saved Jews, on a smaller scale or through different means, and whose stories are less "spectacular". Some were also caught and executed, so it was a dangerous thing to do, and you could trust nobody not to rat you out, or people who would simply let things slip. Schindler was actually arrested several times, and he spent a few weeks in prison, not just one or two days as suggested in the movie. But a German who was working for Madritsch got executed, and the Nazis would often execute (and/or imprison) the entire families if they caught one person. There are many videos here on YT with interviews of the "Schindler Jews", made since, after the movie came out. You can see Helen Hirsch (the girl who worked as Göth's maid), the little boy, now an old man, of course, and several more. It's very moving. This is of course a true story, based on the book "Schindler's Ark" by Thomas Keneally, who was told the story by Poldek Pfefferberg, the one who's getting married in the movie. Another good movie about the Holocaust is "The Pianist" by Roman Polanski, based on the real life events of Wladislaw Spielmann, a famous Polish pianist and composer, who was also helped by a German officer named Wilm Hosenfeld (sadly, this one died in a Russian POW camp 7 years after the war because of torture). For people who are more "familiar" with the Third Reich (the time from 1933 and 1945 in Germany), I also highly recommend "Jojo Rabbit". It's not based on a true story and it's supposed to be a comedy, but it describes everyday life during the last few months of WWII very well, as seen through the eyes of a 10 year old child who would have been born in 1934 and who would have known nothing else than the Nazi world view and mindset. There are also characters in it who are opposed to Nazism, but who have to pretend they are if they want to survive. So yes, it's supposed to be a comedy, but it's very powerful (and it will make you cry as well as laugh).
They really had to tone down Amon Goeth as Spielberg thought nobody would believe how truly evil he was. Schindler Jews on set when they watched Ralph Fiennes playing Amon Goeth caused panic attacks in some of them as his performance and mannerisms were so much like him it was disturbing. Ralph Fiennes felt so guilty he took time to comfort them in-between takes. If u ever watch footage of him side by side its truly amazing how good he was in the role. This movie was made by Spielberg as his final piece of work to graduate from fim school after a 30 year hiatus ( making blockbuster movies) his professor gave him a A minus for the movie which to me is mind blowing as its a masterpiece. There is a movie that has come out recently of a man called Sir Nicholas winton who is classed as the English Schindler as he saved hundreds of children from certain death. He kept it a secret for most of his life until his family came across his book with all their names and letters etc the homes they went to.
@@wadumin yes it's called One Life and has only recently been released. U can see footage of the real man on a British TV show from the 80s called this is your life which is when his story was shared with the world. There are good people out there true heroes and their stories should never be forgotten.
I saw this when it was first released in theaters, back in my late 20s. It was so powerful and at times overwhelming (the entire scene with the women in the showers at Auschwitz was absolutely terrifying) that by the time the end credits rolled I was emotionally exhausted. I thought to myself "I'll wait til the credits finish before I get up, to give me time to pull myself together." When the credits were over and the lights came up in the theater I saw that i was far from the oniy person doing that. A lot of us where still sitting quietly, trying to gather ourselves. It's an incredibly hard film to experience, but that is why it's important to watch it.
12:42 At this point Oskar is only interested in making money, that is his only goal. He put Stern in charge of running the business and hiring employees so Stern of course hired many of his friends and people that he knew the Germany army would kill right away (the one-armed man) but Oskar had no knowledge of that until he meet that man. Oskar then questions Stern about it because he knows that if the Germany army thinks he is intentionally trying to help Jews they could shut down his business and put him in jail.
Bro as I am srk,s fan so I recommend you srk,s best movies ever by ranking ,you can react on them. 1.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai 3.Veer Zaara 4.Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gum 5. Darr, in this movie srk played a villain role of a psychopath and amazingly done There I list some movies of different type so I can,t compare it by upper list( These movies have deep messages to world like 3 idiots) 1. Swadesh 2. Chakh de India 3. Devdas ( It Is something very different) (From these all ranking my favourite was DDLJ , so plz react on that )
Spielberg explains the little girl in red. The way he sees it, Oskar is like Roosevelt and Stalin and Churchill and the little girl is like the holocaust, itself. They saw it, it was a well kept secret, but stood by and did nothing until it was too late. Also, Itzhak is basically Oskars conscience.
They have recently re-estimated the number of decedents. It is close to 9000 people. Not sure you noticed the road leading into Goeth's camp. The road is made from the grave stones of Jewish people. When I was a kid, my doctor had a number tattoo on his arm. He and his were both in Auschwitz and survived.
Some scenes were not shot at all. Goeths crimes were so cruel, sadistic and inhumane that the producers thought the viewers might perceive them as constructed only for the film, thus damaging the whole work. Goeth often rode through the death camp, and when he wore a simple cap, the camp inmates could be reasonably sure that nothing would happen. However, when he wore his officer's cap and white gloves, the inmates were in absolute danger of death. One, in his eyes wrong look or a wrong greeting was enough and he began to murder without restraint, after he had tortured his victims before in indescribable sadistic way. I am German and the so-called "German culture of remembrance" is a matter of course in our country. Every day, for example, there are documentaries on at least two channels which show among other things the background of how Hitler was able to lever out parliament to come to power, the crimes of the GESTAPO (Secret state police) in their torture cellars, the deportation of the Jews, underlaid with original images from the concentration camps, the cruelest war crimes of the SS, which followed the Wehrmacht on the campaign and then brought unimaginable suffering to the rest of the population, which was also filmed at the time. (Some already in color, which makes the whole thing seem even more bizarre). Trenches, on the edges of which Jews were killed by the hundreds with shots to the neck, etc., etc., etc. There are also "Stepstones". Small memorial plaques laid in the ground, so-called Stolpersteine, are intended to commemorate the fate of people who were persecuted, murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide during the National Socialist era. The square brass plaques with rounded corners and edges are inscribed with letters hammered in by hand using a hammer and hammer letters, showing e.g. who was deported in that house. They are usually set into the sidewalk or surface of the respective sidewalk at the same level in front of the last freely chosen homes of Nazi victims. On December 29, 2019 the 75,000th Stepstone was laid in Memmingen. In the German extermination camps, the women and children were gassed first, so that no more Jews could be born and grow up. Very few Germans wanted to have known about the concentration camps, which of course was complete nonsense. For example, thousands of apartments were suddenly vacant because the Jewish residents had been deported during the night. The very next day, "Aryan" Germans, mostly belonging to the party cadre, moved in. Then hundreds of civilian German guards were employed in the death camps, who were even proud of their "work" and bragged about it to their acquaintances and friends. I could give many more examples, which prove that it was total bullshit, when it was claimed not to have seen anything and not to know what was happening there. In any case, I am a little proud of the fact that in Germany, even more than 75 years after the war, these unimaginable crimes against humanity have been and are being dealt with.
I am German and I am with you in every word you say. I was crying the whole movie through but the most at the very end when all the survievers came to Schindlers grave to honor him.
My Godparents survived in very similar fashion. My Godfather was ‘permitted’ to work on tanks and tank parts. My Godmother, for whom I am named, would at times speak of some of the horrors witnessed, but I’ve always felt certain she held the worst from us to protect us… which is so hard to imagine- a ‘worse’ than what she did share. After the war they immigrated to America; my Godfather would go on to engineer, invent and patent many things, including several items which are still used today around the world each day. At times I imagine the descendants of his torturers benefiting from them and think: Redemption… with grace. My Godparents were grateful all the days of their lives for the opportunities they felt America afforded them. I’ve always felt I not only loved and respected but also admired their bravery and their grit. Last week my adult son and I were visiting a different US city than our own and suddenly found ourselves caught up in one of the protests. Trapped actually on one side of a major street and square. I’m not even sure how to describe the unfamiliar fear I felt🥺 What I know now is my Godparents were even more remarkable than my younger soul was ever capable of even understanding. Hardy and truly remarkable people- and I speak not only of my Godparents. Thank you for reacting to this; subscribed. Stay safe, love big, sow peace💖
Omg omg I love you for watching this movie 😭 I watch it every time I feel low and feel better. The pain we go thru now is nothing in front of the humiliation Jews faced. This movie is like my motivation to fight and survive in life. 😭❤️
My first of your reactions, and it’s a great one. Looking through your list, I see that they run generally longer than most, and that’s a good thing. I very seldom watch movie reactions that are less than 35 minutes because they’re too brief, given time for intro and outro. I’ll certainly come back for more.
I put together a video based on a rewatch of Schindler’s List. The genius of Steven Spielberg is that he cleverly grouped together other characters based on real life survivors, that other films would have slept on, and put them in some of the most memorable scenes of the movie. It’s because of Steven why I’m aware of not only Oskar Schindler but the real life survivors
the worst thing is that this movei doesnt even come close to reality. as spielberg said you can make a movie only so horrible that people still watch it. if you show how it really is, the movie would be totaly unwatchable the horror would be way to bad. sadly the truth was 1000 times worse... it snowed nonstop around the camps but it wasnt snow it was human dust, because they burned so so so many people
✡️I Never liked reaction channels before you but I wished to revisit this movie today so bad and was looking for some reaction youtuber coz u didn't do it.. But see here we are... #connect‼️Love from INDIA❤
The reason the scene with Schindler wishing he had done more hits so hard is because all of us can look around at our own possessions and realize we could have done more. We ALL relate...
After watching the best thing to do is research anything that made you confused and even go further into it because once you do the second watch is that much harder to sit through. They took a lot out of the movie and it was actually much much worse than what was depicted
A traumatic but very moving film which I saw on the big screen. The first and only time i’d been to the cinema where everyone remained in their seats ( in silence) till well after the closing credits. One person stood, and others rose, a few at a time. Everyone walked so very slowly & in silence to exit the cinema. 😢
The childrens loaded on the trucks in Plasow labor camp were gassed to death right behind the Plasow. There is also unconfirmed information that during that process one SS soldier comited suicide because he couldn't watch it.
I love Schindler’s list. ❤ It’s so poignant and shocking. Very important🥹 “The Pianist” is also very good, if you haven’t watched that one yet! I loved the score in that and the acting was top notch! It was also very impactful!
Defiance is another Holocaust-based film that I highly recommend you checking out - packed with drama, horror and action. It’s based on the story of the Bielski partisans (resistance fighters led by the Bielski brothers - Tuvia, Zus, Asael and Aron) hiding in the Belarusian forests during the Nazi occupation of most of the Soviet Union (in which Belarus was part of at the time). Another film I recommend checking out is Valkyrie - based on the Nazi officials led by armed forces Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg who attempted to kill Hitler on 20th July ‘44. Shows you events leading up to it.
You always have to remember: that really happened! We must not forget. We must respect everyone’s religion without judging and know-it-all attitude. And yeah: Ralph Fiennes is a amazing actor. They all have doing a great job.
As of 2021, over 700h of audio and film footage had been added to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, some notable being films showing atrocities shown around the time of the Nuremberg Trials. Be warned though, that the reality is far more gruesome and weighted than any fiction can show. But I do recommend seeing at least some of it, so that the perspective of what had happened in that terrible part of history sinks in; how bad things became, and what horrors these people lived and died through. It is important to remind ourselves of the grim and cruel sins of the past. So we know what it looks like when it begins to surface in modern times.
thank you, that was a good reaction. Sadly the history has a tendency to repeat itself, as we are all witnessing the events of the last couple of weeks. 1400 innocent people were butchered including babies, elderly people and other innocents in my country (ISRAEL). Innocent people were also killed on the Palestinian side and I am sad for them too because they're held prisoners by their own Nazi regime (HAMAS) . Violence is not the answer in 99% of the cases but when it comes to the conflict my country has been dealing with for the past 75 years there could be no other answer but to eliminate evil from the root (which I pretty much hope my country shall do). You can't talk logically (certainly not making peace) with people who have no regards to human lives.
It's tough to see what happens when people lose their humanity. We're seeing it again in full color today in nearly real-time. Innocent people everywhere dont deserve this, oppressive governments and terrorism warfare are a scourge on civilization. There is always hope, but you can never save everyone 😢
What can I say about such a educational masterpiece. I saw this in sixth grade and I promise you not one person eyes were dry after we saw this film. The lesson learned on when hate and prejudice that goes unchecked can lead to dire consequences.there are so many testimonies of the crew and real life survivors of amon goeth that I cannot count on one hand. The one that stuck with me was stephen speilberg didn't take one cent from the profit this film made and considered it blood money.
This is such an important movie to watch. Here in America I think this movie should be shown in every single high school in our country. Anti-Semitic crime is very high in our country currently. While I do not support the Israeli government and their ongoing genocide against the Palestinians I don't have any hatred or unkindness in my heart for the citizens of Israel and support them as a people 100 percent. I support the Palestinians as well. They have a right to their freedom and their right to exist and be happy as well.
The world should remember that without jews there are no judeo-christian values... "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you, it will be through you that all the families of the earth shall be blessed!" Genesis 12: 3
To be honest... most of what today is claimed a "judeo-christian values" either can be seen in most cultures or is just something invented by humanistic philosophers in europe based on greek philosophers more or less against christian authority. I dont wanna devalue anybodies believe - religion is a private thing and everybody may chose whatever makes him/her feel good. But if some folks try to create political causalities that are quite inaccurate to claim a certain religion is better than others or should even stand above humanistic values that are completely independent of religion... I cant help myself but to reject these claims. I am German, was raised as a christian protestant (which is far away from american evangelical) and am living as an atheist. Here in Germany moderate christians, moderate muslims, atheists, etc... we do live together rather well. We respect the religion (or non-religion) of the others as long the goal is not to preach to others. And especially as a German who is very aware of the responsible we have because my Nazi ancestors created the Holocaust... I feel the duty to make this comment. I can only wish all people all over the world gonna find a similar attitude where religion of all people is respected by all people. No religion can be sure its the right one. All religous people have to believe. Also me as atheist in the end dont know who is right. So lets not pretend that one religion is better then another. The important values for me are in our constitution where the first sentence of our preamble is written "Human dignity shall be inviolable." This is the goal. This is the utopian wish. This is what we human should want from our existence. Or in other words - no religion and no god should be above the dignity of human. THIS is greatest value that we should hold on to. And in fact it just is not important who invented this first.
@@BoothTheGrey the thing is that muslim claim that the whole world has to become muslim without a real choice for non mualims, Jewish religion is making it even hard to become Jewish... If all what is happening in israel is only territorial dispute - why are they chsing Jewish people all around the world? Shouldn't they be happy with them - not being in "palestine", 'stilling their labd'? Right, cause it's not about the land (that is Hebrew's, jews, promised land before Islam was even invented), it's about Good vs. Evil.
There is no such thing as Judeo-Christian values. The Jews don’t believe in Christ. It’s impossible to create such values if the Jews created the Talmud who says “Jesus is boiling in hot excrement”.

Nice timing . Nobody supports all the things that israel does obviously but the level of anti semitism that is spread by iranian regime, hamas and media is well known. They seem to care about palestinians freedom but they r not giving freedom to iranians and iranian jews christians Zoroastrianists had to migrate from iran in 1979 in huge numbers. India has more zoroastrianists than iran. Jews in iran went from 80k to 10k in 1979 and i dont know if there are any jews left in iran now and yet iranian regime is pretending to stand with freedom for others. Iranian regime supports hamas which is not doing any good for innocent palestinians.
I live in Iran, Islamic regime kills Iranians so easily, 4 years ago they killed 1500 innocent protesters in only 3 days, only a year ago after they killed Mahsa Amini for not wearing proper hijab and people went to streets to protest, they again killed around 600 people including 50 kids, and thousands more have been killed, hanged and prisoned since 1979, and as you know they support terrorism now, i feel for the innocent civilians on both sides of the war that have been killed, harmed and forced out of their homes, i hope we get to peace so we don't have to see anymore innocent lives taken, and i wish an end to terrorism and the Islamic regime.

We can't mix both things. Jews were murdered by nazism and other before the nazis. But today the govern of Israel, not jews, are comitting a genocide against palestinian people. We must condem and refused both behaviours. Always fight the intolerance and dogmatism.
I'm a descendant of a Schlindler Jew. Took me 20 years from this film's release to finally get enough strength to watch it. Your reaction is genuine. Thank you.
My Zaida was a survivor of the Holocaust and it took me two times to watch the full movie.. I walked out in tears the first time thinking about what he went through.
May God bless you and your family 🙏🏼💝
Praise God for you and your entire family.
So much love to you and yours.
God bless you, this wonderful film, everyone must see it.
So many heartbreaking moments in this film, in history. The last scene with Oskar is remarkable. I spent the whole movie crying (in disgust, in anguish, in fear) about the inhumanity of it all and the last few minutes of it crying (in gratitude, in solidarity, in awe) over the determined humanity of one man. So powerful. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your reaction. Cradle the hope! It can be fragile sometimes but worth holding onto!
Thanks for watching ❤
When Schindler breaks down and cries, he does it for "one more person!" "a person" - he feels the whole loss of what that is, he breaks down and cries like he just lost a loved one - just one person - "a world entire"
Exactly, that scene just broke me 💔
And there's something so powerful about the image of a 6'r" Liam Neeson just crumble and shrink the way he did as he's holding on to Stern.
Thank you for exposing people to this movie. It’s more important now than ever.
Thanks for watching ❤
Hell yes it is!
I feel like I need to add here that being anti-Israel doesn't mean being anti-Semitic
its peaty close though considering its the only Jewish state .@@lvvgyk

Thank you very much for your deeply emotional reaction.
As a german... this movie is a very special piece of critical art for me. My ancestors did this. And yes - they really did this. And only a few were pure psychopaths ... many were quite normal people. A lot even well educated.
Its so important to not forget. As much as I despise and condemn what my ancestors did under the Nazi regime... as much I am proud that in Germany we established a deep memorial culture about the crimes our ancestors did. We start in school talking about Nazi germany and WW2 - and although many German dont want it and even think it is something to make us feel ashamed I see it very different: We can be proud to be so much aware of our past and to try to learn from it and try to show responsibility because of it.
I think EVERY nation should face the crimes of ancestors and try to learn from this.
When we Germans who did one of the most horrifying crimes in history can face these crimes... every nation should be able to do this.
Its all about NOT dehumanzizing others and create social systems to actively avoid it. We still are really bad at this. Even in "modern" countries our economical system allows to "outsource" really bad behaviour in other countries and almost force people with money to do crimes. But of course so many other elements in the human world exist that makes us dehumanize each other.
We must stop this. Every human deserves respect. Every human has dignity and this should not be violated.
This movie can help to understand this.
The only critique I have with Schindlers List is that its not clear how many German Soldiers and Nazi were not bad people but rather normal who just "operated" in the murderous system. And of cause ideology and brainwashing helped a lot to support it.
Although Schindler WAS a hero he could not do a tiny bit to prevent this. And even more important: In the beginning he didnt want to prevent at all but just make profit. Many german capitalist profited A LOT - still there are some very rich Germans where the ancestors profited from the Nazi regime.
We have to understand that social systems must be created that let not profit inhumane behaviour. We still have a long way to go. Hopefully we will make it.
Thanks a lot for watching this both very great and very painful movie. Thanks for sharing your emotions and thoughts.
Wish you all the best for your channel and your whole life and looking foward for checking out other reactions from you 🙂
Wow, incredibly well said my friend, we all should learn from the past, thanks for watching❤
I'm an American Southerner with some German heritage. I can't effectively express how deeply I respect the German people for facing that horror head-on, learning from it, teaching their children about it, and working to make sure that it never happens again. If only the US could do the same, particularly in my region of the country. We are overdue for a real, communal, national reckoning for our centuries of slavery and oppression, and the grudging attitude we've had toward granting even the most basic equal rights is humiliating. We talk all the time about being "the land of the free," but we really need to take a page from the German playbook on how to deal with ethnic atrocities in our past (and, honestly, present).
Bro this is a cool fantasy movie from hollywood.
@@tanelviil9149 Trolls do what trolls can do. My advise: Find some positive meaning in your life. It really is possible. Even a Troll can develop. Try it.
@@c.a.norwood34 Thanks for your reply. As already mentioned there are also many Germans who feel bad by facing the past. I think it's not easy to find the right attitude. Feeling responsible is not easy if you mostly think in terms of guilt. I don't feel guilty. But I see my responsibility.
And also many people think a society is just a bunch of individuals and every individual is totally free. But there is a lot happening on a sociological level.
Especially feelings on a sociological level can become very powerful. When I see the conservative people arguing I see a lot emotion that is covered in pseudo-rationality. There is a lot hate and anxiety going on.
If you want to address more social responsibility it's a good idea to lower the anxiety and the hate and replace it with hope and a positive perspective. This is not easy. Especially when there many people in all-day struggling with find any perspective. These people can easily misguided. Like those who are deeply indoctrinated with some ideology (or fundamentalistic approach of religion).
When I see the USA I see so many intelligent people. I am sure it is possible that even the oldest democracy in the world can evolve. It may seem impossible sometimes. But it then... something very hopeful is happening.
Wish you all the best :)
Thank you for doing this film I believe every adult should see this at least once. In 2012 the descendants of Schindler's list was 8500. It always amazes me that he made just enough money to get to the end of the war and then never really did well after. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching Beth ❤
the story is indeed amazing
That last scene of Liam Neeson of "one more" never fail me to cry like a baby. This and Hacksaw Ridge are my favourite reacts of yours, I'm very happy that I found your channel because you have really a spontanous emotion to movies that you don't try to hide, that's what's so unique about you and I really love it
Yeah the last scene BROKE me, thanks for the kind words my friend ur the best ❤
Your reaction to this movie is perhaps the best I've ever seen. The range of emotions you felt were the emotions anyone SHOULD feel. Neeson, Ralph Fiennes (so easy to hate, and the role really had a tough effect on him personally) and Sir Ben Kingsley and all of the cast were superb. Another movie of a similar theme but a much more uplifting one is "Nickys Family" about an Englishman who smuggled out hundreds of children and nobody knew what he did for decades! Another more sinister but with an amazing twist ending is "Remember" with Christopher Plummer.
Thanks for the kind words and movie recommendations Susie, I'll definitely check them out ❤
There's also a similarly-themed but multi-generational movie called Sunshine from 1999, also starring Ralph Fiennes (but this time he's on the opposite side), which is even more horrifying and harder to watch at times than this one.
A MOVIE THAT SHOULD NOT EVER BE FORGOTTON, IN THIS LIFETIME, OR ANY FUTURE LIFETIME.
That's right ❤
Another beautifully sincere reaction from you. This cinematic masterpiece is and continues to be my all-time favourite, as it showcases both the worst and best of humanity, and it always manages to evokes emotions irrespective of how many times I've watched it. No one ever wins in a war, especially when many innocent civilians become the collateral damage. Thank you for this genuine reaction and keep up the great content.
Very well said and thanks for the kind words, much love❤
Thank you and you're very welcome! Much love to you too bro@@wadumin
Easily on my top ten favorite films….and also the most devastating film I have ever seen.
Same, this movie broke me 💔
Sad fact: The inhumane treatment, the gruesome actions... Everything is actually toned down!! The reality was even more cruel and disgusting.
Spielberg had to tone down Goeth because people wouldn't believe what this Monster has done. What all of them have done!
That's just insane, it's terrifying, even his toned down version was a cold monster
@@wadumin I'm from Germany and we did field trips to some concentration camps. Believe me, I have never in my life been in a place that breathes death and sadness. To say it was depressing would've been an understatement.
Absolutely. "It's too real" It wasn't real enough and you are correct about Spielberg toning down. My mind understands how this happened, but the rest of me-incomprehensible.
Ralph Fiennes was masterful. There is no telling where he dug this character out of himself. But it is beautiful to watch him be utterly detestable. Ben Kingsley was a rock throughout, and Liam Neeson's breakdown was his best performance ever. You can see the love and care put into this one by all involved.
They were all incredible, flawless performances, thanks for watching ❤
While the Jewish community was hardest hit by the Holocaust, they were not the only ones sadly.
Of the 11 to 13 million people murdered by the Nazis, over 1.5 million were Romas ( gypsies). Others included slaves, Russians, political prisoners,homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses, and people with disabilities, ( even those who were German citizens).
As right wing ideology is making a comeback, this film is a reminder of what the ultimate result of its consequences.
Will humanity ever learn???
Stay safe, stay sane,stay strong
That is what made those American detention camps the Trump Administration created for illegal immigrants so alarming. Especially with known racist Stephen Miller in charge of the illegal immigration policy.
I’ve been waiting for this one from you for awhile. Not an easy film to watch but very important. Hope you are doing well my friend
Thanks a lot for being here right from the start Kurt, i appreciate ur support, the movie was indeed hard to watch but truly a masterpiece ❤️
It's truth this movie is absolutely stunning and shocking piece of art and documentary altogether.
It's heavy. Screening of this movie should be mandatory on every single school, high school and university. To teach people from their young age what horrible things happen and prevent to make them again.
Btw, I strongly suggest to watch movie "Pianist". Same war, same surroundings, same strong story.
Movies like this really should be seen by everyone and as you said we can come together and stop it from happening again, I'll check out ur suggestion, thank u ❤
Yes, The Pianist is a masterpiece too. It's about what happened inside the ghetto, through the story of a great pianist.
54:45 The fact that he was actually walking among these people I think was so significant. They weren't rats or vermin to him, but human beings, equal to him. ❤
Very true ❤
Great reaction like always, everytime i watch this masterpiece of cinema i cry, its so emotional and touching. In case you are wondering or didn't know, the little girl in the red coat was based off a real person. In the film, the little girl is played by actress Oliwia Dabrowska, who-at the age of three-promised Spielberg that she would not watch the film until she was 18 years old. She allegedly watched the movie when she was 11, breaking her promise, and spent years rejecting the experience. Later, she told the Daily Mail, “I realized I had been part of something I could be proud of. Spielberg was right: I had to grow up to watch the film.” The actual girl in the red coat represents all the survivers and a girl named Roma Ligocka; a survivor of the Krakow ghetto, she was known amongst the Jews living there by her red winter coat. Ligocka, now a painter who lives in Germany, later wrote a biography about surviving the Holocaust called "The Girl in the Red Coat." That i suggest you to read. And some other facts about this movie is that, Spielberg refused to accept a salary for making the movie, Spielberg didn't want a movie star with Hollywood clout to portray Schindler. Kevin Costner and Mel Gibson auditioned for the role. Keep up the good work.
Wow thank you sm for the info, it was amazing ❤
It's always so good to watch movies with you, someone who loves movies and get to experience different things you probably won't notice while watching and share the pure emotions ❤️❤️❤️ I never saw this movie but I'm glad that I'm watching this with you 😊😊
I appreciate it Devi, ur the sweetest ❤
You have a wonderful heart young man, never loose it, never feel shame about being emotional it is a testament to your huge heart and humanity
Fun fact: The heated argument between the two soldiers after the 19:43 mark translates to the First Soldier yelling at the Soldier who shot the Boy, asking if he is crazy and that he nearly shot him, how he came that close to shooting him. He does not care that the Jewish Boy was killed, but that he was nearly shot.
"he is the same actor who played Voldemort"... It's so strange most people know Ralph Fiennes only from Harry Potter. He played in many many good films: The English patient, In Bruges, Grand Budapest Hotel, Red dragon, etc
I'll definitely check them out ❤
His range is incredible. Grand Budapest Hotel is one of my favourite of his performances. Watching him in this brilliant performance here is staggering to think it's the same actor.
He also played a pivotal role in Star Trek Discovery.
"Never again"......October 7th 2023. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
october 7th and every day since
The genocide of Palestinians didn't magically start October 7 2023, it started with the Nakba in 1948.
director spielberg said after the film was released, few of the survivers saw the film. it is still so traumatic for them.
“No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them”
Very moving movie. Before I went to Poland my brother told me to watch this movie. I was actually visiting Auschwitz and also Schindler's Factory. I guess it had me understand more. FYI, the final scene of the man standing in front of Schindler's grave was actually Liam Neeson.
The girl in the red coat was portrayed (at age 4) by a Polish actress named Oliwia Dabrowska who is now a volunteer assisting Ukrainian refugees in Poland.
Your reaction was so pure. Thanks for taking the risk to watch and comment on this amazing film. As a Messianic Jew (and most basically, a homosapien) I applaud you getting this out there for others to see. Everyone should see this movie so we don't ever forget.💪
Thanks for the kind words❤
Love your compassion and empathy and willingness to express both. God bless you❤
Thanks my friend, much love ❤
Great reaction. So many times there really isn't much to say and just emotional reactions vs commentary are perfect. Great job!
Thanks for watching❤

Thank u sm, i appreciate it ❤
In the 1970s I met a witness to the misfiring gun incident.
Concentration camp guards were considered rear echelon personnel and were issued weapons rejected by the military. Those weapons were made in occupied countries or used slave labor.They had a vested intrest in those weapons not working.
Oh wow, thanks for watching James ❤
33:18 that is the same reason he had them shoot the foreman of construction earlier, it has nothing to do with her being right, it only had to do with her even telling them it was wrong.
Absolutely disgusting and insane 💔
The shooting of the engineer is a scene that was altered in the movie. In the movie, it is done as a way to show the audience how the nazis were treating educated jews, that they did not tolerate them, especially if they dared to show off their knowledge.
In real life, that engineer was from the university of Lviv, not Milan, and she knew better than to go talk back to Goeth. So she kept silent. When part of a building collapsed, the german supervisor of the construction put all the blame on her, and she was executed as a scapegoat for him.
The atrocities are unimaginable. In birkenau (largest subcamp in auschwitz) there is a room that does not allow photos in which behind a wall of glass there is an enormous mountain of human hair. Imagine how many people it would take to make a mountain of hair.
but why are the school systems failing kids and not explaining how bad it was. Its a sad movie, but if you know anything about the Holocaust then its not shocking in terms of what happened, its a great movie to make people visually see what they have read. So many of these reactions videos show that the US school system has failed these people when they say they didnt know.
Thank You Soo Much Sir! You are a light in the darkness for this, and for being you.
So nice of you, thanks for watching ❤
Thank you, and God bless you for showing us all your humanity. Take care.
Thank you! You too ❤
How can someone look so cute while crying I mean whyy...

U r so pure ❤

I watched this at the movies by myself In 1995 I was 16 years old. I cried non stop. I’ll never forget this incredible piece of cinema. And it made me research more about the Holocaust
Wow i can't imagine what you went through watching it in that age 💔
Great video, thank you for this emotional reaction on Spielberg's intense masterpiece.
The only point I feel I have to make is that it's probably too easy to put responsibility for mass murder and inhumanity just on ruthless governments or terrorists. I feel the disturbing truth might be it's just human nature. Many of these horrifying murderers during the holocaust had been living very normal lives without any sign of being insane or sociopathic. It's a very thin line that's telling us apart from anarchy and brutality. Let's not be ignorant about this...
Thanks for watching, That is a very good and true point 💔
There is a difference between someone INHERENTLY WANTING to kill an innocent person for no reason (I would argue that is NOT "human nature"... I know that I personally would never want to do that, and I hope neither would you).... vs. a dictator of theirs THREATENING (for example) their lives (OR lives of their family or their CHILDREN) for NOT "doing their jobs" to go and kill others for the dictator's satisfaction. True that some people would still resist killing others, but I bet that many can be coerced if their family were threatened "or else."
Uh cried my heart broke...❤️🩹
Congratulations. By far, one of the best Schindler reaction videos out of the many I have seen. You featured every significant scene, (unbelievably, some reaction videos don't even show the little girl in the red coat) and accompanied each scene with intelligent, insightful and relevant comments. Your display of emotion during the final scenes was extremely moving. My only disappointment was that you didn't name check the magnificent actors Ben Kingsley, and Ralph Fiennes. It was a travesty that Fiennes, having been nominated for an Oscar, was overlooked.
Thanks for the kind words, I'll definitely pay more attention next time to the performers names, everyone was shining in this movie ❤
It’s obvious mankind hasn’t learned a thing.
Damn right
It's a fascinating story. There are many documentaries about the Holocaust if you're not familiar with the subject, and there are also documentaries about Oskar Schindler. It's a pity the movie doesn't show his wife, because she did a lot, too. She provided food every day (at least later when Schindler got his own camp in Brünnlitz), she opened a hospital wing where she would nurse the sick, etc.
In the same camp at Plazow, there were also about 2000 people working for another German, Julius Madritsch (he can be seen in one scene), who also treated his workers very humanely (all things considered), he gave them proper food he bought himself with his own money, etc. When Schindler moved to Brünnlitz, he took 60 of Madritsch's workers with him (he couldn't take more).
Schindler's story stands out because he saved so many people in one "take", but there have been others who saved Jews, on a smaller scale or through different means, and whose stories are less "spectacular". Some were also caught and executed, so it was a dangerous thing to do, and you could trust nobody not to rat you out, or people who would simply let things slip. Schindler was actually arrested several times, and he spent a few weeks in prison, not just one or two days as suggested in the movie. But a German who was working for Madritsch got executed, and the Nazis would often execute (and/or imprison) the entire families if they caught one person.
There are many videos here on YT with interviews of the "Schindler Jews", made since, after the movie came out. You can see Helen Hirsch (the girl who worked as Göth's maid), the little boy, now an old man, of course, and several more. It's very moving.
This is of course a true story, based on the book "Schindler's Ark" by Thomas Keneally, who was told the story by Poldek Pfefferberg, the one who's getting married in the movie.
Another good movie about the Holocaust is "The Pianist" by Roman Polanski, based on the real life events of Wladislaw Spielmann, a famous Polish pianist and composer, who was also helped by a German officer named Wilm Hosenfeld (sadly, this one died in a Russian POW camp 7 years after the war because of torture).
For people who are more "familiar" with the Third Reich (the time from 1933 and 1945 in Germany), I also highly recommend "Jojo Rabbit". It's not based on a true story and it's supposed to be a comedy, but it describes everyday life during the last few months of WWII very well, as seen through the eyes of a 10 year old child who would have been born in 1934 and who would have known nothing else than the Nazi world view and mindset. There are also characters in it who are opposed to Nazism, but who have to pretend they are if they want to survive. So yes, it's supposed to be a comedy, but it's very powerful (and it will make you cry as well as laugh).
Thank you so much for the info my friend ❤
56:22 The Sabbath (saturday) is the Holy Day of the week (as Sunday is to Christians and Fridays to Muslims).
Oh wow, thanks for telling me ❤
They really had to tone down Amon Goeth as Spielberg thought nobody would believe how truly evil he was. Schindler Jews on set when they watched Ralph Fiennes playing Amon Goeth caused panic attacks in some of them as his performance and mannerisms were so much like him it was disturbing. Ralph Fiennes felt so guilty he took time to comfort them in-between takes. If u ever watch footage of him side by side its truly amazing how good he was in the role.
This movie was made by Spielberg as his final piece of work to graduate from fim school after a 30 year hiatus ( making blockbuster movies) his professor gave him a A minus for the movie which to me is mind blowing as its a masterpiece. There is a movie that has come out recently of a man called Sir Nicholas winton who is classed as the English Schindler as he saved hundreds of children from certain death. He kept it a secret for most of his life until his family came across his book with all their names and letters etc the homes they went to.
Ralph's performance was absolutely phenomenal, thanks for the info, you know what that movie's name is?
@@wadumin yes it's called One Life and has only recently been released. U can see footage of the real man on a British TV show from the 80s called this is your life which is when his story was shared with the world. There are good people out there true heroes and their stories should never be forgotten.

Thanks for being here ❤
I saw this when it was first released in theaters, back in my late 20s. It was so powerful and at times overwhelming (the entire scene with the women in the showers at Auschwitz was absolutely terrifying) that by the time the end credits rolled I was emotionally exhausted. I thought to myself "I'll wait til the credits finish before I get up, to give me time to pull myself together." When the credits were over and the lights came up in the theater I saw that i was far from the oniy person doing that. A lot of us where still sitting quietly, trying to gather ourselves. It's an incredibly hard film to experience, but that is why it's important to watch it.
All three of these guys put in stellar performances tbh
12:42 At this point Oskar is only interested in making money, that is his only goal. He put Stern in charge of running the business and hiring employees so Stern of course hired many of his friends and people that he knew the Germany army would kill right away (the one-armed man) but Oskar had no knowledge of that until he meet that man. Oskar then questions Stern about it because he knows that if the Germany army thinks he is intentionally trying to help Jews they could shut down his business and put him in jail.

Spielberg explains the little girl in red.
The way he sees it, Oskar is like Roosevelt and Stalin and Churchill and the little girl is like the holocaust, itself.
They saw it, it was a well kept secret, but stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
Also, Itzhak is basically Oskars conscience.
WOW ... He's a genius
They have recently re-estimated the number of decedents. It is close to 9000 people.
Not sure you noticed the road leading into Goeth's camp. The road is made from the grave stones of Jewish people.
When I was a kid, my doctor had a number tattoo on his arm. He and his were both in Auschwitz and survived.
I did notice that part, i was just speechless 💔
Some scenes were not shot at all. Goeths crimes were so cruel, sadistic and inhumane that the producers thought the viewers might perceive them as constructed only for the film, thus damaging the whole work.
Goeth often rode through the death camp, and when he wore a simple cap, the camp inmates could be reasonably sure that nothing would happen. However, when he wore his officer's cap and white gloves, the inmates were in absolute danger of death. One, in his eyes wrong look or a wrong greeting was enough and he began to murder without restraint, after he had tortured his victims before in indescribable sadistic way.
I am German and the so-called "German culture of remembrance" is a matter of course in our country. Every day, for example, there are documentaries on at least two channels which show among other things the background of how Hitler was able to lever out parliament to come to power, the crimes of the GESTAPO (Secret state police) in their torture cellars, the deportation of the Jews, underlaid with original images from the concentration camps, the cruelest war crimes of the SS, which followed the Wehrmacht on the campaign and then brought unimaginable suffering to the rest of the population, which was also filmed at the time. (Some already in color, which makes the whole thing seem even more bizarre). Trenches, on the edges of which Jews were killed by the hundreds with shots to the neck, etc., etc., etc. There are also "Stepstones". Small memorial plaques laid in the ground, so-called Stolpersteine, are intended to commemorate the fate of people who were persecuted, murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide during the National Socialist era. The square brass plaques with rounded corners and edges are inscribed with letters hammered in by hand using a hammer and hammer letters, showing e.g. who was deported in that house. They are usually set into the sidewalk or surface of the respective sidewalk at the same level in front of the last freely chosen homes of Nazi victims. On December 29, 2019 the 75,000th Stepstone was laid in Memmingen.
In the German extermination camps, the women and children were gassed first, so that no more Jews could be born and grow up. Very few Germans wanted to have known about the concentration camps, which of course was complete nonsense. For example, thousands of apartments were suddenly vacant because the Jewish residents had been deported during the night. The very next day, "Aryan" Germans, mostly belonging to the party cadre, moved in. Then hundreds of civilian German guards were employed in the death camps, who were even proud of their "work" and bragged about it to their acquaintances and friends. I could give many more examples, which prove that it was total bullshit, when it was claimed not to have seen anything and not to know what was happening there. In any case, I am a little proud of the fact that in Germany, even more than 75 years after the war, these unimaginable crimes against humanity have been and are being dealt with.
I am German and I am with you in every word you say. I was crying the whole movie through but the most at the very end when all the survievers came to Schindlers grave to honor him.
Much love my friend❤
My Godparents survived in very similar fashion. My Godfather was ‘permitted’ to work on tanks and tank parts. My Godmother, for whom I am named, would at times speak of some of the horrors witnessed, but I’ve always felt certain she held the worst from us to protect us… which is so hard to imagine- a ‘worse’ than what she did share.
After the war they immigrated to America; my Godfather would go on to engineer, invent and patent many things, including several items which are still used today around the world each day. At times I imagine the descendants of his torturers benefiting from them and think: Redemption… with grace.
My Godparents were grateful all the days of their lives for the opportunities they felt America afforded them.
I’ve always felt I not only loved and respected but also admired their bravery and their grit. Last week my adult son and I were visiting a different US city than our own and suddenly found ourselves caught up in one of the protests. Trapped actually on one side of a major street and square. I’m not even sure how to describe the unfamiliar fear I felt🥺
What I know now is my Godparents were even more remarkable than my younger soul was ever capable of even understanding.
Hardy and truly remarkable people- and I speak not only of my Godparents.
Thank you for reacting to this; subscribed.
Stay safe, love big, sow peace💖
Much love and respect to you and your godparents, i wish you And your family all the best ❤
Omg omg I love you for watching this movie 😭 I watch it every time I feel low and feel better. The pain we go thru now is nothing in front of the humiliation Jews faced. This movie is like my motivation to fight and survive in life. 😭❤️
Thank you for watching, well said ❤
Steven Speilberg is a genius. We watched this movie in an indoor theatre in 1993. Was awesome! 😊😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️
That must've been a great experience, he's a legend
My first of your reactions, and it’s a great one. Looking through your list, I see that they run generally longer than most, and that’s a good thing. I very seldom watch movie reactions that are less than 35 minutes because they’re too brief, given time for intro and outro. I’ll certainly come back for more.
I appreciate it David, much love ❤
I can’t help but think of Gaza now when this subject comes up
It’s like a mirror
I put together a video based on a rewatch of Schindler’s List. The genius of Steven Spielberg is that he cleverly grouped together other characters based on real life survivors, that other films would have slept on, and put them in some of the most memorable scenes of the movie. It’s because of Steven why I’m aware of not only Oskar Schindler but the real life survivors
the worst thing is that this movei doesnt even come close to reality. as spielberg said you can make a movie only so horrible that people still watch it.
if you show how it really is, the movie would be totaly unwatchable the horror would be way to bad.
sadly the truth was 1000 times worse... it snowed nonstop around the camps but it wasnt snow it was human dust, because they burned so so so many people
This movie is a reality check of what humans are capable of
Exactly 💯
✡️I Never liked reaction channels before you but I wished to revisit this movie today so bad and was looking for some reaction youtuber coz u didn't do it..
But see here we are... #connect‼️Love from INDIA❤
Ayyy thank u sm for watching, much love ❤
your sweet and its nice to have a reaction where people can show their feelings for me its hard to cry because i was made fun of
I appreciate it my friend, nevermind who ever makes of u, love urself and do what you love ❤
BLESS YOU BRO
Much love buddy❤
The actress that played the little girl in the red coat is helping Ukrainian refugees at the Polish border.
The reason the scene with Schindler wishing he had done more hits so hard is because all of us can look around at our own possessions and realize we could have done more. We ALL relate...
Absolutely 💯
Watching a movie with you gives another joy😊
I'm so glad, much love ❤
After watching the best thing to do is research anything that made you confused and even go further into it because once you do the second watch is that much harder to sit through. They took a lot out of the movie and it was actually much much worse than what was depicted
A traumatic but very moving film which I saw on the big screen.
The first and only time i’d been to the cinema where everyone remained in their seats ( in silence) till well after the closing credits.
One person stood, and others rose, a few at a time.
Everyone walked so very slowly & in silence to exit the cinema.
😢
Wow, i could imagine that, this movie destroys everyone
The childrens loaded on the trucks in Plasow labor camp were gassed to death right behind the Plasow. There is also unconfirmed information that during that process one SS soldier comited suicide because he couldn't watch it.
Oh my goodness, I'm literally speechless
@@waduminunfortunately, orders and the nazis own plans often dictated children be killed, as they were of no use because they could not work.
I love Schindler’s list. ❤
It’s so poignant and shocking.
Very important🥹
“The Pianist” is also very good, if you haven’t watched that one yet!
I loved the score in that and the acting was top notch! It was also very impactful!
I'll definitely check it out, thanks for watching❤
this should be shown in every school all over the world
Absolutely true
The last man standing at Schlinders grave is Liam Neesem.
When the individuals are putting a stone on his greystone. It is the actor and the actual person that was in Schindler's camp
Super important film. Everyone should see it.
True 💯
Empire Of The Sun is another Spielberg WWII film from 1987. This is the debut of Christian Bale.
Ooof sounds great, I'll definitely check it out ❤
Defiance is another Holocaust-based film that I highly recommend you checking out - packed with drama, horror and action.
It’s based on the story of the Bielski partisans (resistance fighters led by the Bielski brothers - Tuvia, Zus, Asael and Aron) hiding in the Belarusian forests during the Nazi occupation of most of the Soviet Union (in which Belarus was part of at the time).
Another film I recommend checking out is Valkyrie - based on the Nazi officials led by armed forces Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg who attempted to kill Hitler on 20th July ‘44. Shows you events leading up to it.
You always have to remember: that really happened! We must not forget. We must respect everyone’s religion without judging and know-it-all attitude. And yeah: Ralph Fiennes is a amazing actor. They all have doing a great job.
We must respect everyone's religion "unless" they're using their religion to oppress or hurt other people, Fiennes was indeed incredible ❤
As of 2021, over 700h of audio and film footage had been added to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, some notable being films showing atrocities shown around the time of the Nuremberg Trials. Be warned though, that the reality is far more gruesome and weighted than any fiction can show. But I do recommend seeing at least some of it, so that the perspective of what had happened in that terrible part of history sinks in; how bad things became, and what horrors these people lived and died through.
It is important to remind ourselves of the grim and cruel sins of the past. So we know what it looks like when it begins to surface in modern times.
43:20 "Look at him. Defending him now". Of course he is defending Schindler. He is making a lot of money out of this arrangement.
Yes exactly
thank you, that was a good reaction. Sadly the history has a tendency to repeat itself, as we are all witnessing the events of the last couple of weeks. 1400 innocent people were butchered including babies, elderly people and other innocents in my country (ISRAEL). Innocent people were also killed on the Palestinian side and I am sad for them too because they're held prisoners by their own Nazi regime (HAMAS) .
Violence is not the answer in 99% of the cases but when it comes to the conflict my country has been dealing with for the past 75 years there could be no other answer but to eliminate evil from the root (which I pretty much hope my country shall do). You can't talk logically (certainly not making peace) with people who have no regards to human lives.
I'm very sure that evil will be defeated, my heart goes out to all the innocent people that lost their lives or loved ones, thanks for watching ❤
Apparently The Zone of Interest will probably enter the realm of terrific films about the Holocaust.
I cried so much watching this. It was disgusting what happened to them. All war and persecution is awful. We never seen to learn.
Very true 💔
you are a very good person. What you said at the end is exactly how i think every day i wake up. Never complain! Be happy
Thanks for the kind words my friend, I'll definitely check it out, much love ❤
Andrew turned into tobey
Bread❤😂
😁😁❤️
It's tough to see what happens when people lose their humanity. We're seeing it again in full color today in nearly real-time. Innocent people everywhere dont deserve this, oppressive governments and terrorism warfare are a scourge on civilization. There is always hope, but you can never save everyone 😢
Well said, there's hope ❤️
What can I say about such a educational masterpiece. I saw this in sixth grade and I promise you not one person eyes were dry after we saw this film. The lesson learned on when hate and prejudice that goes unchecked can lead to dire consequences.there are so many testimonies of the crew and real life survivors of amon goeth that I cannot count on one hand. The one that stuck with me was stephen speilberg didn't take one cent from the profit this film made and considered it blood money.
Woww, i didn't know he didn't take any money, much respect
One of My favourite movie....❤❤❤❤ lots of love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳
Much love ❤
it's hard to digest that Schindler died in Germany, penniless, alone and almost unknown, in October 1974.
This is such an important movie to watch. Here in America I think this movie should be shown in every single high school in our country. Anti-Semitic crime is very high in our country currently. While I do not support the Israeli government and their ongoing genocide against the Palestinians I don't have any hatred or unkindness in my heart for the citizens of Israel and support them as a people 100 percent. I support the Palestinians as well. They have a right to their freedom and their right to exist and be happy as well.
Very well said Kelli, i completely agree ❤
The world should remember that without jews there are no judeo-christian values... "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you, it will be through you that all the families of the earth shall be blessed!" Genesis 12: 3
To be honest... most of what today is claimed a "judeo-christian values" either can be seen in most cultures or is just something invented by humanistic philosophers in europe based on greek philosophers more or less against christian authority.
I dont wanna devalue anybodies believe - religion is a private thing and everybody may chose whatever makes him/her feel good.
But if some folks try to create political causalities that are quite inaccurate to claim a certain religion is better than others or should even stand above humanistic values that are completely independent of religion... I cant help myself but to reject these claims.
I am German, was raised as a christian protestant (which is far away from american evangelical) and am living as an atheist.
Here in Germany moderate christians, moderate muslims, atheists, etc... we do live together rather well. We respect the religion (or non-religion) of the others as long the goal is not to preach to others.
And especially as a German who is very aware of the responsible we have because my Nazi ancestors created the Holocaust... I feel the duty to make this comment.
I can only wish all people all over the world gonna find a similar attitude where religion of all people is respected by all people. No religion can be sure its the right one. All religous people have to believe. Also me as atheist in the end dont know who is right. So lets not pretend that one religion is better then another.
The important values for me are in our constitution where the first sentence of our preamble is written "Human dignity shall be inviolable."
This is the goal. This is the utopian wish. This is what we human should want from our existence.
Or in other words - no religion and no god should be above the dignity of human.
THIS is greatest value that we should hold on to. And in fact it just is not important who invented this first.
@@BoothTheGrey the thing is that muslim claim that the whole world has to become muslim without a real choice for non mualims, Jewish religion is making it even hard to become Jewish... If all what is happening in israel is only territorial dispute - why are they chsing Jewish people all around the world? Shouldn't they be happy with them - not being in "palestine", 'stilling their labd'? Right, cause it's not about the land (that is Hebrew's, jews, promised land before Islam was even invented), it's about Good vs. Evil.
There is no such thing as Judeo-Christian values. The Jews don’t believe in Christ. It’s impossible to create such values if the Jews created the Talmud who says “Jesus is boiling in hot excrement”.
Watching history
intersting movie that tuch on life many years after this is "operation finale" w ben kingsley too!!!
