The cousin of my wife's grandfather was the jeweler who made the ring at the end of the film. As with any film not everything is historically accurate changes are made to tell the story. Here are some of them: Göth was actually much worse than portrayed. However, to he was toned down in order to make his character more believable. Stern was a combination of himself, Abraham Bankier (factory manager) and Mietek Pemper (Göth's personal secretary) many survivors say that Pemper actually wrote the list and Schindler paid for the names. The showers in Auschwitz would never be confused with the gas chambers they were open air. People getting off the trains would not know that so it was an effective rouse. Finally, Schindler's Jews supported him financially when he was in need. They also paid for his body to be flown to and buried in Israel.
Wow. That's amazing. To do the engraving alone, on such short notice and given their precarious working conditions, must have been a feat. Was the ring shown in the movie the original item? Most likely a replica, I'm guessing.
I loved your reaction. This is a really tough movie. But it’s a masterpiece. Steven Spielberg made this and the first Jurassic Park in the same year. Steven would get so depressed while directing this that he would call Robin Williams to help cheer him up. Steven also put together a huge catalog of first hand experiences from WWII. Because they did tons of research and interviews to put together this movie as accurately as possible, but they realized that they weren’t going to be able to include even a fraction of these experiences. So they recorded hundreds of stories. It’s incredible to watch. Thank you again for such a heartfelt reaction. Sending love to you darling!!❤
17:25 It's not symbolism. This really happened to rabbi Lewartov. Goeth's guns misfired, likely because he was not maintaining them correctly, or using the wrong kind of oil (not working in cold weather, the germans had that issue on the eastern front). By the way, the "I was put on shoveling coal because the machines were calibrated this morning" was a lie that he invented to try and save his life.
I watched this film years ago and was profoundly moved throughout - until the end, when the real people appeared alongside the actors who had portrayed them - at which point I started to cry and simply couldn't stop for hours afterwards. I'm able to watch the first parts of these reaction videos but I have to stop before the final scenes, because I know what's coming and just how I'll react. I'm thankful that my grief for the unspeakable acts perpetrated has never subsided. Such is the power of movies, such is the horror of the past and such is the unstoppable determination of the souls who came through it. To absent and present friends and family everywhere - God Bless you all.
24:30 Amon Goeth from what we know came from a very normal background believe it or not he was born into a wealthy Austrian family and there was some neglect in his childhood as he didn’t see his parents often cause they were away on business a lot but there’s no record of him having suffered any abuse from them or others
The names are real though some characters are based upon the real experiences of more than one person (necessary in order for audiences to follow the story). Similarly, actual events that occurred in multiple locations and times over the nearly 6 years covered in the film are also greatly condensed to fit into the film's running time, and the violence was greatly toned down so that people wouldn't walk out of the cinemas. Even so, Spielberg produced a masterpiece that is one of the few Holocaust movies to drag you into the story and make you feel at least a hint of how it would have been to be around at that time.
This is why we say "never forget" it's why we have remembrance day every year in the UK, this is what Dire Straits tried to point out in Brothers in Arms, it is Us and Them. (Pink Floyd) but we the people are not them, we need to keep a close eye on what represents us..
1. Yes, the names in the movie are real names of real people. 2. The girl shouting at Jews evicted from their homes is pure fantasy. In fact, it was much better (pretend) not to notice what Germans were doing to Jews or non-Jews. 3. Schindler was making friends with high-rank people to get contracts later on; the practice well known and common still today. 4. Yes, women in concentration camps were using their own blood to give themselves healthier look to avoid being considered sick and unable to work and sent to a gas chamber. 5. The horrors you see in the movie make you sick. Now try to figure out that what's shown in it is just the tip of an iceberg. The real events and the real Amon Goeth were MUCH worse. 6. The movie was shoot in the locations where the events depicted in it actually took place. Schindler's factory in Kraków is now a museum. 7. The final scene shows actual survivors with respective actors playing them in the movie.
The movie didn't just show the hate for the Jews but the LEVEL of hate. It's unbelievable this happened and yes its very uncomfortable to watch. You made a great point..... the light is always shown on evil and not all the good.
@sharonstonts We are talking about a movie. I'm not sure how you could find it underwhelming unless you were there. I think it shows within reason what it must have been like and gives you a great example of Hatred towards the Jews. It's just a very small view of what was done and how. I don't think anyone with a heart can watch this and not have empathy towards the situation of what these people went through and survived. The one thing that we learned from this time period is that Humans are the worst thing for Humanity.
@shaneencalade4988 yes sure I understand that. I appreciate the movie don't get me wrong. It just that I grew up on those stories, unfortunately, and they are so much worse. So yes, that was my own personal feeling. Underwhelming....
@sharonstonts OH I can only imagine and really would rather not the stories passed down from that experience. I'm sure hearing and learning what you have that it would be underwhelming. But I'm glad this movie was made for people like me who knew about the War but had zero connection with it. And now more than ever because that generation is and has died off and can't tell the stories. The new generation thinks this was long ago but it wasn't and I hope more and more young people watch it and learn from it. The good thing about watching it is that it opens the door to learn more.
Ralph Fiennes who played Goeth took time in between takes to comfort the Schindler Jews on set as his performance and mannerisms were so much like him it caused panic attacks in some of them on set. Should you watch footage of Goeth of which there is plenty its like a mirror image. The SS ( higher up nazis) put him in the sanatorium ( mental hospital) where the allieds found and hung him as the SS actually found what he did,his behaviour truly disturbing and considering what they did to people shows how truly evil he was. His grand daughter wrote a book as she is mixed race which i believe is titled my grandfather would have killed me. She didnt know who he was and was truly mortified when she found out which i believe anyone would be too.
Just watching your introduction, where you say "I hope i enjoy this movie..." Hard to imagine enjoying this film, but seeing it at least once is necessary today, when people are losing the understanding of who the Nazis really were, and what they really did to others.
I dont think ive seen any of your videos but you got mr robot and rrr on your wall, and those are two things I'm always trying to get people to watch but they never do, so even before the reaction starts i can say i like your taste lol and I'll be keeping an eye out for more reactions from you
It's insane to me that not everyone knows what Auschwitz is. You shouldn't be confused when you see where they are. And you should know what would happen to the people that walked downstairs.
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.
You were asking yourself about the scene where Schindler seemed to be looking down and pushing away what some of the man who was thanking him said. My take is that in that moment, he felt as if he didn't deserve those kind words. He realized the level of disparity between himself as a wealthy business owner, profiting from the work of slave labor. A matter of conscience.
That's not that. At that point in the movie, Schindler was just profitting from the war, he didn't care that much about his workers. So learning that a one-arm man was in his payroll pissed him off, but he didn't want to make a scene in front of that worker. Hence why he complains to Stern once they're alone. It's only later, after the ghetto liquidation, that Schindler really begins to care about his workers, after seeing the atrocities of the SS (at least in the movie. In real life he cared about them earlier than that).
Schindler lost the Ring by Poker. Till today nobody knows where it is. German museums would pay a fortune of it. The jews send a lot of money to Schindler. A few jews was angry coz he need so much. But other said, that they have to send more... His grandson was a soccer player in the second league in germany At the set a survivor get apanik attack coz Ralf Fieness acted Amon Goet so real, that she though he is Amon Goeth and got flashbacks. Amon was more cruel as in the movie. One day he said while dinner with friends, 'today it was a good day coz i killed 15 jews' There died over 10 000 jews coz him. Over 500 were killed by himself. The name of his granddaughter is Jennifer Teege. She is ethnicity woman, coz his daughter fucked a nigerian... She wrote the book 'Amon, my grandfather would have shot me'
This is a very well made film with some great acting, but a tough watch. Schindler started out as an amoral man who was a war profiteer taking advantage of slave labor. His experiences changed him. I personally think this is Steven Spielberg's best work. When he finally returned to university to finish his much delayed degree this is the film he chose to submit to meet his student film requirement.
This movie & the 9th episode of the series Band of Brothers (Why We Fight) is difficult to watch, but so impossible. We must always remember, the only thing evil needs to succeed, is for good people to do nothing.
can you do me a favour, can you look in any book or any history book and find me a country called palestine. or even better, name me one palestinian leader before 1948. if you could do that your a better man than me.@@Thelordofloneliness
Very dark 6 years in German History! Awesome Movie, great Reactions!👍🏻👍🏻 Btw....Amon Göth was more worst than the Devil himself! To be honest: I read his History and what he did after reading this I must say: He was a very sick B@st@rd, the Movie couldn't show us how sick he was!
Uploading this on my birthday is crazy 💀💀 enjoy ❤

A MOVIE THAT SHOULD NOT EVER BE FORGOTTON IN THIS LIFETIME, OR ANY FUTURE LIFETIME.
Period
Bear in mind this movie is only showing the tip of the iceberg. It was so much worse than what is being shown.
Don't ever look up the things the real Amon Goeth did. I'm very thankful we didn't see his dogs.
It cannot be overstated just how correct this comment is.

One of the best movies I've ever seen. I'll never forget it and hope more people see it, but just I can't bring myself to watch it again.

Amazing reaction, I cried with you ❤️
Spielbergs most personal masterpiece because of his Jewish heritage I hope you react to his other historical masterpiece Lincoln
your tears are gifts to the angels - they can't cry
"Make you wanna be a better person". I agree. ♥
