He specifically chose children, women, the elderly and impaired because he knew they would be killed first, even if they weren’t as useful. What a hero. He kept his businessman facade but inside he was gold
The way Oskar asks "give or take WHAT Stern" demonstrates just how much he cares about saving these people. These aren't just numbers to him, these are actual lives. It links back up beautifully with his final lines too.
One of my favorite things about this movie is the progression of Schindler and Stern's relationship especially shown in the way Stern refuses to drink with Schindler in the beginning but agrees near the end of the movie. Spielberg is a master storyteller.
Another moment I just noticed this year comes from a later scene. In the Czech factory, when they're discussing the quality-control failures of their ordnance, Schindler has his arm around Stern throughout and their bonhomie shows through.
The look on Stern's face when he realises what Schindler is doing for him and the Jews... Brilliant piece of acting by Ben Kingsley. That, and John Williams wisely keeps his score a little understated. It's a great scene. One of many great scenes in the film.
Great score. You may know the famous story -- John Williams saw a cut of the film as a preparation and spent some time walking outside, overwhelmed by what he had seen. He came back to Steven Spielberg and said, "Steven, you need a great composer to do this score. You need a better composer than me." Spielberg replied, "I know I need a better composer. But they're all dead."
Amazing scene after Stern realizes what the List is. Before he was typing away just like a regular secretary but then the last strokes are delicate, intentional and focused. The way he handles the paper afterwards as if it's the most precious thing in the world. Brilliant scene.
Stern knew what the list represented, he was always several steps ahead of Oskar but forever cautious not to overstep his place as a lesser human being lest that have catastrophic results for them both.
Movies like this make you understand how fortunate we all are to have not lived through the war. I can't imagine how difficult it would have been to be a part of that conflict.
Just wait until they start putting unvaccinated people in camps. Already can't interact with society without the proper "papers". Unvaccinated are already being blamed for something that's obviously not their fault. It's just a matter of time now.
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 But the continued spread of the virus IS your fault. I don't blame the unvaccinated in those countries who haven't had adequate supplies of the vaccines. But in countries that have - the US and UK - not to be vaccinated allows the virus to multiply, mutate and spread. And mutation risks the virus becoming vaccine-resistant, which puts everyone else at risk. So by you refusing the vaccine, it means that you are jeopardising everyone else. In other words, you're selfish and irresponsible.
I've NEVER made it through this scene without crying at those words. The gentle and reverent way Ben Kingsley's Itzak Stern picks up and holds the pages of life really gets me too.
Oskar went broke after the war because of his decision in saving lives, but no amount of money could buy the gratitude that Jews people have for him. In the end, I say he lived a successful life.
@@goldensperm7182 by saying "buying" it makes it seem like he is buy goods and not people. By saying he's paying for every name it instead implies that each name, each person, is being freed and saved instead of being "brought".
Schindler made an agreement to pay Goeth off (a bribe) for each of the 1100 people on the list. There's an earlier scene where they show him going into Goeth's office with briefcase stuffed full of Reichsmarks. The implication is that it cost him a LOT of money to have Goeth's guarantee that he could take the 1100 Jews with him to a new location in Czechoslovakia. So, yes, he bought their freedom.
He had a rough time after the war,living in poverty, but he got aid from jewish foundations. When he eventually died he was taken to jerusalem and buried on mount zion, where he is still buried today. Life is rough, all around, but he died as someone who sacrificed his own financial well being to save thousands. Compare that to others who are billionaires (some jews even) and make money by causing harm to others in some shape or form.
Dimar YP there is a connexion between this scene and Taylor Swift's ''Blank Space '' i think the part of this scene where Oskar Schindler is asking Itzhak Stern to '' Finish the page and leave one space at the bottom '' ... looks like Taylor 's line : ''' Got a long list of ex-lovers..... but i've got a blank space baby and i'll write your name '''
seeing Oskar cry at the end just got me, it's the closest I've ever come to crying at a movie, my eyes definitely felt wet, what a masterpiece this movie was. The list is an absolute good, the list is LIFE
0:36 People might miss this but this guy is Julius Madritsch. He, like Schindler, also used factories to save a lot of Jews at serious risk to himself. He survived the war and died in Vienna in 1983. I'd highly recommend those interested to look him up
Sir Ben Kingsley is an amazing actor. The subtle changes in his face as he wonders how Schindler convinced Goeth to give him these people, then as he jokes, "you're not buying them..." only to realize when Schindler is straight faced that it's not a joke, the realization of the magnitude of the list and of the man before him. Amazing actor.
The edits and blocking are also marvelous; quicker edits from the typing on the page to the men in the room, the rising but understated score, Schindler circling Stern as he types and leaning over him as Stern works. Then the soft moment when Schindler is checking the names on the pages and Stern begins to realize just what's happening. It's one of the finest scenes in the film, as it should be.
The problem is that Sir Ben would have to duke it out with costar Ralph Fiennes too. Had they both been nominated they would have most likely split the vote.
Oskar was a war profiteer, and a Nazi, that doesn't change the fact that he saved many, and that those where able to spawn generations. Oskar from what I've learned didn't have a very happy life after the war, and that certain survivors of his, basically took care of him financially. Oskar after many failed ventures, even contemplated suicide after the war, but was always loved by the people he saved. I for one hope he found peace after his death.
Mark Warren I know, read what I posted, I never said he did, I said he thought about doing so. He died of natural causes, a heart attack if I remember correctly, and was buried in Israel.
Yes but that's maybe even more inspirational if you think of it. Even if he was an opportunist and profitter he still did the right thing, the good thing when it really matters. It shows that you don't have to be any kind of hero to make a world better place, you just have to make right choices whe push comes to shove.
+Peter the Man I think the actors should have been European. It just feels out of place, where you have all these European actors in a movie set in Europe and then you have a famous American Hollywood actor. I'm glad Spielberg chose Kingsley.
Right about here 2:18, you'd expect a scene cut. But Spielberg doesn't cut. He let's the scene continue and the music and emotions keep laying in on you. It's masterful storytelling!
Real heroes don't wear capes, they aren't angels most of the time. He wasn't perfect but he saved over a thousand people who had descendants that owe their existence to his bravery.
It is a shame that Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes did not get an Oscar and Ben Kingsley was not even nominated. This film is a masterpiece with a very high level of acting, especially by the three main actors. If you can express surprise, gratitude, emotion, all with a single glance, as Kingsley did in this scene, you deserve an award.
He's all a more compelling character for it. A greedy opportunist looking to exploit slave labour for personal profit but he cannot allow them to die once he is involved. The best kind of good. It's easy to be a saint from the beginning in normal circumstances where there is no risk. But to go in accepting amorality in order to make his fortune but he starts developing a conscience despite himself when at the very heart of one of the most evil times of human history and he starts risking it all to saving lives. It's inspiring.
The man who Oskar talks to from 01:00 is Julius Madritsch, an Austrian who similar to Schindler, saved hundreds of Jews by employing them in his textile factories in Krakow. Among them many children which he smuggled abroad or to Polish families. Sixty of the names on Schindler's list were people that were taken care of by Madritsch.
I crumble every time when Stern realizes how Schindler is getting everyone. The way he realizes and puts it all together. He’s so moved by it. Just magic.
Schindler left a legacy through the people he saved. Generations and generations after generations will owe this man an unplayable debt. I hope they do great things with their life and NEVER forget their very existence stems from a single man’s compassion.
I love when Oskar was trying to convince the other industrialist about saving as much as they can. It shows that even other people were in a similar position of power and they cared enough about the Jews like Oskar but they wouldn´t dear to do what is necessary to risk it all and save them like Oskar was doing, making his figure even bigger. What an amaizing story telling
Oskar may have lost all his wealth in this world, but he gained infinte treasure in the eyes of God. May he rest in peace, a truly extraordinary human beign and an example of kindness to all of us humans.
Neeson and Fiennes got most of the attention and acclaim for this film, and rightfully so But never let it be forgotten that Ben Kingsley’s understated work is utterly phenomenal as well
Would you consider yourself to be a good person? How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God’s name in vain (very serious; in Old Testament times, the Jews wouldn’t even say the name of God for fear of blasphemy) - even ‘OMG’? One more: Jesus said whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart; have you ever looked with lust? Well I’m not judging you - but if you’ve done these things then you’re a liar, thief, blasphemer and adulterer-at-heart; that’s how seriously God takes sin. He is Holy (perfectly good/righteous and separate from sin) which means that H e is perfect in justice - and if He were to judge you by the moral law (we’ve already looked at 4 commandments) would you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is hell - the wrath of God upon you for your sin. Is that concerning? But fortunately, God’s will is not that you perish. He wants all men everywhere to be saved. So do you know what He did for us guilty sinners? In self-giving mercy, He sent His Son Jesus Christ. He lived the perfect life that we should have lived - tempted at all points and yet He NEVER sinned. Through His life, being in very nature God, He revealed God to men; but we in our hatred condemned Him to death. On that cross as Jesus suffered, He took on the sin of the world and was judged in our place; receiving God’s wrath. You and I broke God’s law, but Jesus paid the fine. God can justly forgive us. On that cross He died, then He was buried, but 3 days later He was raised from the dead - conquering death and Hell and ushering in The Kingdom of God. He then ascended to the right hand of God the Father (where He came from) now Lord of the living and the dead. God has fixed a date when He will judge the world in righteousness. What you need to do is repent (In humility, acknowledge your sin before God and turn to a relationship with Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus Christ and His work on the cross; and God will grant you the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then be baptised. When you place your trust in Jesus - the Lord and Saviour - these things will happen: 1) God will forgive the sins that you have committed; they were paid for by Jesus at the cross. 2) The perfect life that Jesus lived will be credited to you. He will find you holy and blameless on judgement day (and now), as Christ’s righteousness covers you. 3) You receive a place in Christ’s kingdom as an adopted child of God. God becomes your Father. Eternal life isn’t just about living forever, but a personal relationship with God Himself. That life can start now; The Father will reveal Himself to you if you seek Him. 4) God doesn’t just save you from the penalty of your sin (Hell). He can save you from the power of sin itself. Whoever practices sin is a slave of sin; but when you repent and believe the gospel [WHICH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED] the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in you and sanctify you (working in you to further abandon sin and turn to the will of God). When the end of the age comes, and eternity begins, this work will be brought to completion as you are finally freed from the presence of sin. Jesus offers to take away your sin and to give you His righteousness; you must receive it by faith. Choose this day if you will align with the world, or with Jesus and His kingdom - only His is eternal. ROMANS 10:9 - If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved
1,200 doesn't seem like that much when the number of people killed was millions, but he had to work so hard just to save 1,200 and it cost him literally everything he had. It shows how expensive every person on the list must have been to save. He died a broke man.
Back then people were used to using the typing machine, also, mistakes were easily fixed either within the machine already (they actually had a delete button) or with correction fluid/correction roller.
Oscar Schindler was a good person. No matter how he was before or if he bought the people. He saved hundreds of innocent lives, even the children who had no chance to survive at that time. Whatever he did before, this one thing made him a hero. And he should be remembered as a hero who saved hundreds of lives. Not as just another member of the NSDAP.
Best film ever made. Watched it 20 times and cry every time. Everything about the film is perfect. And Ben Kingsley? The best actor too. Hoffmann, Cagney, DeNiro, Pacino, Brando? None of them can match Kingsley. He's just the best.
Spielberg's creative and emotional genius on display. This scene is one of many that I watch over and over. Another is Schindler rescuing the women from Auschwitz and walking with them through the gates of his factory compound, while the male Jews watch through the windows. It always gets to me. // I have to remember that it was Steven Zaillian who wrote the incredible adapted screenplay. I was fortunate to have met him one day in Los Angeles.
It was such a great movie but I could only watch it once. The subject matter was far too painful. I can't remember who said it but he was right when he said that Schildler's List is not about the holocaust. The holocaust is about people who died, this movie is about people who lived.
No, the list is not the absolute good... the list is a desperate attempt to do something morally right despite the fact that you lived most of your life quite immorally...
You can see the change from Stern in handling the list once he knows that Schindler is paying for each of them. He puts so much care into the knowledge that those in it will live.
Not to forget the music. John Williams has often told the story of the first time he watched it (still raw, without the music he was going to write for it). When it was over, he had to leave the room for a moment to calm down. When he came back, he told Spielberg that this was a great film, but that he needed a better composer. Spielberg replied: yes, I know, but they're all dead.
what motivated a man like Oskar Schindler to do what he did?! Especially since he was the kind of man he was. Amazing story! I hope there is a Heaven for this man!
01:54 Now do I understand the true meaning of that line “you’re not buying them, you’re buying them.” Stern previously told Schindler if he wants to continue running his business he will have to hire Polish workers but they cost a little more. Stern believes that Schindler has convinced Amon Geoth to let him hire these Jews to profit more from slave labour. Stern is happy to transcribe the list because he knows that the sub camp built for Schindler for his workers was a haven for the prisoners compared to the main concentration camp. But Stern understands he is not buying them for labour he is buying them to save them from the gas chambers.
The evolution of Stern and Oskar’s relationship is one of my favorite parts of this movie. It starts off with Oskar being a boastful war profiteer with excess BDE and Stern will barely speak to him. Then by the end of the movie, Oskar is broken over the people he missed and Stern obviously sees him as a friend and a good dude. It’s one of the few uplifting aspects of this movie and a lesson in the fact that even in times of unfathomable tragedy…ESPECIALLY during those times…people get the opportunity to dig down, find their true colors and triumph over evil, even if it’s only in their small corner of the world.
Schindler and the man who this version of Stern is based on became dear friends. He organized help when Schindler was completely broke after the war and he lobbied for Schindler to be recognized by Yad Vasheem. And he cried at his grave at his funeral.
That moment when Kingsley says that the list is absolute good and the list is life, with Williams' sensational music... that will always give me chills. What's happening is almost mythical.
I wonder how it would have been to see the movie at the cinema. I cannot keep myself from crying during a lot of scenes, even watching it alone at home.
+Grumpy Cat They meant back in the 40's when this really happened, when the real list was made. There was no way to correct a mistake on a typewriter back then. White Out for typewriters did not come in until maybe the 70's. It was also a joke played on the times when modern technology was obviously non-existent.
@@Shadywolf09 Fun fact to consider: Even the infamous paper sheets from The Shinning "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" had typos if you look closely at them (Interesting coming from a perfectionist as Kubrick)
@@zamirstuff That was intended so it showed even more that Jack was going crazy and also to show that it was typed by hand and not copied. Also why there was different formats in other pages.

Among them many children which he smuggled abroad or to Polish families. Sixty of the names on Schindler's list were people that were taken care of by Madritsch.
I crumble every time when Stern realizes how Schindler is getting everyone. The way he realizes and puts it all together. He’s so moved by it. Just magic.
Because of Schindler there are 8,000 more people alive today. He saved 1,200 people then. Thank you Oskar Schindler!
He holds the list as if they were the 10 commandments
Just as important to the ones on it
Jim joe Kelly it was for those on it
They probably were the Ten Commandments to him.
There is not many objects of absolute good in the world. I suspect if it still existed today it would be as priceless as any holy artefact.
@@youtubeviewer5198 My understanding is that the original list is actually in a museum. I'll have to check on which one.
He handles the page reverently when he realises schindlers paying for each name.
I love at 2:28 how Stern realizes that what he is typing and holding in his hand is essentially a holy document.
The scene is beautifully written. Stern is handling that list like a secretary, until he realizes what's going on.
The loving reverence Stern has for the list as soon as he realizes what it means is just brilliant. Just a breathtaking performance all around.
1:27 and onward is just perfection. The cinematography, the acting, the beautiful music... And it's all just one shot. Filmmaking at its best.

Schindler left a legacy through the people he saved. Generations and generations after generations will owe this man an unplayable debt. I hope they do great things with their life and NEVER forget their very existence stems from a single man’s compassion.
I love when Oskar was trying to convince the other industrialist about saving as much as they can. It shows that even other people were in a similar position of power and they cared enough about the Jews like Oskar but they wouldn´t dear to do what is necessary to risk it all and save them like Oskar was doing, making his figure even bigger. What an amaizing story telling
The last lines of dialogue in this scene, spoken by Ben Kingsley, might be the best written in cinema. Ever.
Being in a position of power reveals somebody's true colors.

Oskar may have lost all his wealth in this world, but he gained infinte treasure in the eyes of God.
May he rest in peace, a truly extraordinary human beign and an example of kindness to all of us humans.
Neeson and Fiennes got most of the attention and acclaim for this film, and rightfully so
But never let it be forgotten that Ben Kingsley’s understated work is utterly phenomenal as well
Imagine this scene, without the violin.
Imagine just pin-drop silence when Stern asks, "You not buying them?"

It would be better without the violin.
2:22 that god damn violin breaks my heart
Would you consider yourself to be a good person?
How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God’s name in vain (very serious; in Old Testament times, the Jews wouldn’t even say the name of God for fear of blasphemy) - even ‘OMG’? One more: Jesus said whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart; have you ever looked with lust?
Well I’m not judging you - but if you’ve done these things then you’re a liar, thief, blasphemer and adulterer-at-heart; that’s how seriously God takes sin. He is Holy (perfectly good/righteous and separate from sin) which means that H e is perfect in justice - and if He were to judge you by the moral law (we’ve already looked at 4 commandments) would you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is hell - the wrath of God upon you for your sin. Is that concerning?
But fortunately, God’s will is not that you perish. He wants all men everywhere to be saved. So do you know what He did for us guilty sinners? In self-giving mercy, He sent His Son Jesus Christ. He lived the perfect life that we should have lived - tempted at all points and yet He NEVER sinned. Through His life, being in very nature God, He revealed God to men; but we in our hatred condemned Him to death. On that cross as Jesus suffered, He took on the sin of the world and was judged in our place; receiving God’s wrath. You and I broke God’s law, but Jesus paid the fine. God can justly forgive us.
On that cross He died, then He was buried, but 3 days later He was raised from the dead - conquering death and Hell and ushering in The Kingdom of God. He then ascended to the right hand of God the Father (where He came from) now Lord of the living and the dead. God has fixed a date when He will judge the world in righteousness. What you need to do is repent (In humility, acknowledge your sin before God and turn to a relationship with Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus Christ and His work on the cross; and God will grant you the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then be baptised.
When you place your trust in Jesus - the Lord and Saviour - these things will happen:
1) God will forgive the sins that you have committed; they were paid for by Jesus at the cross.
2) The perfect life that Jesus lived will be credited to you. He will find you holy and blameless on judgement day (and now), as Christ’s righteousness covers you.
3) You receive a place in Christ’s kingdom as an adopted child of God. God becomes your Father. Eternal life isn’t just about living forever, but a personal relationship with God Himself. That life can start now; The Father will reveal Himself to you if you seek Him.
4) God doesn’t just save you from the penalty of your sin (Hell). He can save you from the power of sin itself. Whoever practices sin is a slave of sin; but when you repent and believe the gospel [WHICH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED] the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in you and sanctify you (working in you to further abandon sin and turn to the will of God). When the end of the age comes, and eternity begins, this work will be brought to completion as you are finally freed from the presence of sin.
Jesus offers to take away your sin and to give you His righteousness; you must receive it by faith. Choose this day if you will align with the world, or with Jesus and His kingdom - only His is eternal.
ROMANS 10:9 - If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved
1,200 doesn't seem like that much when the number of people killed was millions, but he had to work so hard just to save 1,200 and it cost him literally everything he had. It shows how expensive every person on the list must have been to save. He died a broke man.
Kingsley gave the most underrated performance as Stern. Your heart hangs on every word, gesture and facial expression.
Kingsley also gets all the best lines. "The list is an absolute good. The list is life." "He who saves one life saves the world entire."
the reaction of Itzhak Stern is priceless when he finds out Schindler is buying the people.
It's so amazing he could type without a single mistake.
In the director’s cut there’s additional footage of him making typos and correcting them.
When your and lives of your friends and family actually depends on that list..I figure anyone would be real careful typing
This man was more Christian than a thousand Bible bashers
Back then people were used to using the typing machine, also, mistakes were easily fixed either within the machine already (they actually had a delete button) or with
correction fluid/correction roller.
In the middle of darkness there is light.
"The list is an absolute good."
The writer has studied classical philosophy.
The writer is Steven Zaillian, one of the best Hollywood screenwriters, adapting "Schindler's Ark."
as soon as Kingsley says "you're buying them" I lose it every single time...
Look at how gentle Stern tears the last page of the list after he finds out what Schindler is doing for them 😢
It was just another job as a clerk...
This scene is so beautifully written!
Oscar Schindler was a good person. No matter how he was before or if he bought the people. He saved hundreds of innocent lives, even the children who had no chance to survive at that time. Whatever he did before, this one thing made him a hero. And he should be remembered as a hero who saved hundreds of lives. Not as just another member of the NSDAP.
A good person isn't always a good citizen.
Best film ever made.
Watched it 20 times and cry every time.
Everything about the film is perfect.
And Ben Kingsley? The best actor too.
Hoffmann, Cagney, DeNiro, Pacino, Brando? None of them can match Kingsley.
He's just the best.
the darkness is terrifying.....but remember all that is needed to hold it back is one candle
Spielberg's creative and emotional genius on display. This scene is one of many that I watch over and over. Another is Schindler rescuing the women from Auschwitz and walking with them through the gates of his factory compound, while the male Jews watch through the windows. It always gets to me. // I have to remember that it was Steven Zaillian who wrote the incredible adapted screenplay. I was fortunate to have met him one day in Los Angeles.
It was such a great movie but I could only watch it once. The subject matter was far too painful.
I can't remember who said it but he was right when he said that Schildler's List is not about the holocaust. The holocaust is about people who died, this movie is about people who lived.
Man, the music when he starts to say "The list is an absolute good. The list is life". Spielberg and Williams are geniuses
All his life he was failed businessman but atlast he did something for which he'll live forever.....
I take it upon myself to watch this movie at least once a year. Never forget. Never ever forget.
An amazing film. "The list is an absolute good."
No, the list is not the absolute good... the list is a desperate attempt to do something morally right despite the fact that you lived most of your life quite immorally...

You can see the change from Stern in handling the list once he knows that Schindler is paying for each of them. He puts so much care into the knowledge that those in it will live.
'If you still working for me, I expect you talk me out of it. It cost me a fortune' Epic
This movie was so good. I cried at the end. A powerful movie indeed. One of Spielberg's and Liam Neeson's bests.
Very true brother or sister. The same for me.
Not to forget the music.
John Williams has often told the story of the first time he watched it (still raw, without the music he was going to write for it). When it was over, he had to leave the room for a moment to calm down. When he came back, he told Spielberg that this was a great film, but that he needed a better composer. Spielberg replied: yes, I know, but they're all dead.
The way Stern holds the papers is like Moses holding the commandments.
1:52 can’t even see Liam Nee son’s face but that shot told us everything we needed to know. This is movie GOLD
Till this day this scene makes me cry. "The list is an absolute good."
The man who Oskar is talking to is Julius Madritsch, an Austrian businessman who saved Jews during the Holocaust.
what motivated a man like Oskar Schindler to do what he did?! Especially since he was the kind of man he was. Amazing story! I hope there is a Heaven for this man!
"This list... is an absolute good. The list is life. All around its margins lies the gulf."
He who saves a life, saves the whole of humanity. Hope one day we would learn to settle our differences without recourse to war.
Peace is a facade
Tell that to the political leaders of the world
People do not believe in miracles any more. But miracles appear in the strangest places.
01:54 Now do I understand the true meaning of that line “you’re not buying them, you’re buying them.” Stern previously told Schindler if he wants to continue running his business he will have to hire Polish workers but they cost a little more. Stern believes that Schindler has convinced Amon Geoth to let him hire these Jews to profit more from slave labour. Stern is happy to transcribe the list because he knows that the sub camp built for Schindler for his workers was a haven for the prisoners compared to the main concentration camp. But Stern understands he is not buying them for labour he is buying them to save them from the gas chambers.
I hate how movie clips from that channel never hold on to a scene to let the emotional weight sink in, NO STRAIGHT TO END CARD!!!
Yes. I find that really annoying too.
I wil never understand why he just did not move out of Germany after the war the Jewish people loved him and he saved so many lives
He went to Argentina, if I recall.
He was being hunted down so he had to flee
The brilliance of simplicity in filmmaking and acting. This scene destroys me every time.
I wouldn't recognize Ben Kingsley until someone told me it was him in this movie. Legend.
He's the best 🤧
The evolution of Stern and Oskar’s relationship is one of my favorite parts of this movie. It starts off with Oskar being a boastful war profiteer with excess BDE and Stern will barely speak to him. Then by the end of the movie, Oskar is broken over the people he missed and Stern obviously sees him as a friend and a good dude. It’s one of the few uplifting aspects of this movie and a lesson in the fact that even in times of unfathomable tragedy…ESPECIALLY during those times…people get the opportunity to dig down, find their true colors and triumph over evil, even if it’s only in their small corner of the world.
Schindler and the man who this version of Stern is based on became dear friends. He organized help when Schindler was completely broke after the war and he lobbied for Schindler to be recognized by Yad Vasheem. And he cried at his grave at his funeral.
Liam got this part because he was good at making lists
This man was his accountant. He knew exactly what it meant the moment he realized he was buying them all.
“Give or take what Stern, give or take what!”
That moment when Kingsley says that the list is absolute good and the list is life, with Williams' sensational music... that will always give me chills. What's happening is almost mythical.
Is this the list of all the jews that are going to work for him, to stay alive?
+Haruka Takahashi Yep.
Brandon Tam That's good

Watch the movie, its great
Not for kids tho
Every single person is this movie is giving a masterclass in acting
I wonder how it would have been to see the movie at the cinema. I cannot keep myself from crying during a lot of scenes, even watching it alone at home.
I saw it in the theater. It was incredible and yes it was silent both during and after the film
I did see it in the cinema. It was riveting and looked gorgeous on the large screen. It was emotionally overwhelming.
This is arguably one of the most powerful scenes ever put on film.
I don't think it's an argument. 🙂
@@cherylhulting1301 True. Schindler's List is a masterpiece for the ages.
“How many cigarettes have you smoked tonight?”
“Too many.”
“For every one you smoke i smoke half.”
Half of the video is a single shot... yet you barely notice it. Amazing acting and brilliant planning. Spielberg at his best.
back in those days there were no autocorrect or undo :D
+Grumpy Cat They meant back in the 40's when this really happened, when the real list was made. There was no way to correct a mistake on a typewriter back then. White Out for typewriters did not come in until maybe the 70's. It was also a joke played on the times when modern technology was obviously non-existent.
@@Shadywolf09 Fun fact to consider: Even the infamous paper sheets from The Shinning "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" had typos if you look closely at them (Interesting coming from a perfectionist as Kubrick)
@@zamirstuff That was intended so it showed even more that Jack was going crazy and also to show that it was typed by hand and not copied. Also why there was different formats in other pages.
oh man...
everytime i hear that melody in the theme i always tear up lol even when im not watchin the film. John williams is a musical master and legend! Im so glad ive seen him live twice! hopefully once more before he kicks the bucket haha
The Cinematography at 1:30 is amazing, the Oscar was well deserved.
Such a hard film to emotionally navigate but also incredibly rewarding. Haunting and inspiring.
The list is an absolute good,the list is life.... this line made me cry.
I love how Stern typed with so much deference once he knew Oskar was buying each name
