Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"




Schindler's List demonstrates the Holocaust by showing how families would/could have been affected by the Holocaust. Also certain scenes where taken from real images and footage from the Holocaust. The most powerful scene in the film was the scene with Auschwitz. Where the women thought they were going to work for Schindler's and instead they ended up in Auschwitz. While being taken over there in the train, the woman looked out the window to see a little boy motioning that the women were going to be killed. This image will definitely stay with me for a long time. However, as a viewer I think that the documentary "Night and Fog" was much powerful than the film "Schindler's list". I think this because the images from "Night and Fog" were realistic and actually real footage. Which made it more real to believe and not just to think "Oh it was just a movie".
