Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

Schindler did not see how the Jews worked hard for him, his main objective was money because he is a womanizer. He does not care for the people he employs, he only cares that they are hard workers and do not cost as much as hiring normal citizens.He did not care for their welfare and the condition of their living. Jews in concentration camps who were hardly treated humane. The workers were jammed in small carriages without water, made them sick or others even died in their trip.These are but just some of the brutal scenes.

One of the scenes which I consider most powerful was the brutal ways the Jews were killed, losing loved ones or loved ones being separated, their struggle for survival was unbearable. I think the movie was well done especially it's effect of black and white screens. My heart really breaks when the little girl in red jacket was able to escape death, but only to find out she came out a lifeless body and ready to be burned.How could these people take away the life of a helpless creature.This situation showed us that it was a whole hopeless case.

I think the what will really stay in my mind was that when Schindler cried before the Jews, I think he was moved by how the Jews submitted themselves for hard labor. This transformation was due to the fact that he interacts with thse people in his factory. While other people had not encountered Jews as much since the war broke out or had seen them in concentration camps where they were hardly human, Schindler had hundreds of Jews working for him. It was during the liquidation of the ghetto Schindler started to chane. Somehow he felt somekind of a guilt. Schindler’s had had some change of mind since then because of his pained expression as he saw Jews running and getting shot by the Nazis.

He saved thousands of Jews in exchange of being a traitor to Czekoslovakia, he revealed the military secrets to the Germans. This treacherous act led to the victory of the Germans.
