This is an absolutely brutal tear jerker, but it's also a movie everyone needs to see at least once in their life. 😢
Mostly neo-nazis
@CommentBob i already saw it. And I was so depressed that I have become goth for 3 months
@CommentBob i watched horror movie if I want. In other words ok boomer.
@CommentBob It’s not a lifestyle, it’s an aesthetic and you’re right it has nothing to do with depression or being sad. Most goths are quite cheery and happy, but like I said, it’s an aesthetic.
@@starwarsprequelsandsequels7582 have you seen American History X?
One of the movies that everyone NEEDS to watch. "I could have gotten more" always destroys me.
Ralph Fiennes played Goeth so convincing that it triggered the PTSD of an old Jewish woman who was one of the Schindler Jews, and who visited the set. She broke down crying by seeing him. He immediately broke character went to her and comforted her.
This is why he was the perfect choice for Voldemort
@@starwarsprequelsandsequels7582 he was voldermort!?

@@joakimberg7897 yes
@@ethanfreel1222 ahhh never seen that one, heard of it though. But no shit? I never realised he was voldermort. Didn´t put much thought into it though..
It should also be pointed out that Spielberg wouldn’t even communicate with the actors playing the Einsatzgruppen. He would give them direction but wouldn’t give small talk as he was unable to get past the uniforms. Remember, these were actors of the German theater. But a beautiful thing happened earlier in production. They had Passover at the hotel they we’re staying at in Krakow, Poland. Spielberg had all the Jewish actors sitting around at a table and then all the German actors walked in wearing the yamakas and they sat next to the Jews and participated in the Passover ritual and Spielberg was moved to tears.
damn what a beautiful story.
Also read somewhere that the actors playing the Nazis were having a hard time filming thier scenes. Some were breaking down in to tears because of the horrible things they had to play out.
Wow! That is really incredible.
Thanks so much for sharing this!
@@marvinleach3059 i would find it hard to be so cruel and sadistic. Fiennes played such a monster.
It absolutely boggles my mind that there are people who still deny this ever happened.
Also, there's no shame in crying about something like this. That just means you are a human with empathy, and that's a *good* thing.
just look at the reply you got: completely irrelevant to this story whether or not Treblinka was a concentration camp or a transit hub.
PS: crying is not necessarily a sign of being a human being with empathy nor the absence or crying would necessarily mean the opposite
@@larrote6467
Just look at the reply YOU got:
Complaining and nickpicking, of course they're not talking about the movie, however Treblinka is still relevant because it IS about the story of the Holocaust but probably not Schindler's List unless it references it, of course it's another story but it's still about the Holocaust, but you don't see that, naw you just see a comment that is irrelevant to the video and the story and it angered you to reply that their comment was irrelevant to the video that is about the story and believe all comments should be about the video and/or the story ONLY! Petty, they were saying "Check This Out Too Because It's Also About A Horrific Event About The Holocaust", I searched that up and I could not find Treblinka so I'm not sure where you got that from unless it's a hidden movie or deleated comment then if so a deleated comment then ignore this and above and 1 below, your comment is so vague I had to list every possibility you nicked picked on why their comment was irrelevant but was relevant all along.
I'm not sure why you are nickpicking in the first place, and just in case if you are saying the reply is from the comment above you it is still petty to call them out if it's irrelevant or not unless the time calls for the subject of relevancy.
P.S. Crying is a sign of emotion, it is linked with emotion, and it could be any emotion with any meaning, in this case he cried during this movie because it showed the pain of the persecuted, and he understood how they felt, agony, pain, sadness, which gave way the eyes to tear up because he felt and understood what they went through, it was wrong what they did to those people, meaning empathy:
noun
The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
Now there are variety reasons on why someone would cry, but it takes no genius to know by judging what they are watching, this movie, their tears could represent anger, sadness, etc of reasons to feel about the genocide and the agony it caused.
Also P.S. if it's about what they said that people will not believe it happened well I got news for you, when they say "It absolutely boggles my mind that there are people who still deny THIS ever happend" they are talking about Schindler's List aka part of the Holocaust making itself relevant, and yes some people don't believe it happens, 1/3 of Canada currently don't believe it even happend.
My response to any braindead idiot that claims the holocaust didn’t happen is simple. We know it happened because of eye-witness testimony, not just from Jewish people but from the germans themselves. Just look at the Nuremberg trials, what was the defence? Everyone knows it, it’s become a cliche. “I was just following orders”. Not “ i didn’t do it” or “it didn’t happen”, but “i was following orders”. An admission of guilt with an explanation. According to many of the nazi’s that participated in the nuremberg trials, the holocaust happened but they weren’t to blame because they were just following orders.
Therefore it happened.
The scene when they gift Schindler the ring and completely falls apart and breaks into tears gets me every time 😢
When I was in the Holy Land 5 years ago, I had the possibility to visit his grave in Jerusalem... where odd feeling, very moving! Sadly, he died divorced, poor and almost forgotten if it wasn‘t for those he and others saved, and now of course the entire team behind this movie!
3 years ago I was in Krakow and was lucky enough to recognize some locations that were used for the movie in the historic centre of the city! The factory where they filmed so many scenes is a museum now where the names are listed too... and pictures of many of the survivors
The museum in Krakow is very educational..and very depressing.. luckily Krakow has lots of places to buy a drink afterwards.
He and his wife never divorced, he merely left her in Argentina and returned to Germany where he would die many years later.
when i was 5 or 6 our elderly neighbor who never wore short sleeved shirts had them rolled up for the 1st time ever an then i saw his arm. an the tattooed numbers and asked what they were for an he said its the last memory of his family and if he ever finds some one with a very special number its means they are related
Wow
@@ItsAPrimatee Hi ) GoT watching progress a bit slow ((( its like 1 episode per week 4 episodes per month (
@@nicolbolas8758 Boohoo ((((
Crazy how a movie can show the best and worst of humanity in a couple of hours. That is why it’s a masterpiece. And it’s a hell of an eye-opener. It’s not the same as hearing or reading about the horrors of in a history book.
100%
"He who saves a life saves the world entire". One person can still make diffference.
#payitforward ❤✨
I love the evolution of Oskar, he started as someone with money and only using the Jews for working and industry and then becomes a leader that he ended without a cent and saved many Jews.
The real Oskar Schindler actually started out a war profiteer and actual _Nazi spy._ He was not, by any metric, a good person in those early days of the war. Which makes it all the more amazing that he ended up a saviour in the truest sense of the word.
R de Vries but that is what is fascinating about his story. If he had been a good person and if he had rejected the Nazis from the beginning, he couldn't have ended up in a position to save more than a thousand lives.
I also don't think he was ever onboard with the Nazi ideology and the Holocaust. He was simply a Sudeten-German, who like many others, was convinced that Germany was betrayed and unnecessarily harsh punished. He hated that he hat to live in Czechoslovakia and when he noticed the Nazis were making Germany powerful again, he joined them. I guess he knew that what he was doing was wrong, but he played the opportunist to be able to ignore it, many people have this tendency because it is convenient. But in Krakow he couldn't close his eyes anymore and had a change if mind.
I've always cried at the last scene where shindler breaks down after thinking he could have saved more. And it just shows how good of a man he was. Because a good man dosent praise himself about the lives he saved, he thinks of the ones he didn't.... Masterpiece and my fav Liam Neeson acting performance
I’m from Poland, almost all of my polish relatives were killed, burned in the chambers or poisoned by gaz. I know that because my great grandmother tells me many terrifying stories about war, she was just a little girl when it started. She’s still alive btw. She makes me remember the pain, the horror but also the happiness that this is over now. Thank u for reaction :) sorry for my English
Watches Green Mile
"Well this was depressing."
Watches this.
"Well...I want to cry myself to death."
Amon Göth was one of the worst human beings to ever live. This movie, and the book that it's based on, actually do NOT show a lot of the heinous things this guy did in real life.
At the end of the war the Germans had him in prison and facing a death sentence
Not for running Auschwitz, but for embezzling money Auschwitz
Without the War and the Nazis giving him a place to do what he did, he probably would have ended up rotting in prison or executed for murdering someone.
Overstating his importance, dude. Plenty just like him running around then and now. “If you want to see a person’s true character, give them power over others”.
The daughter of Goethe found out about her father from this movie. Goethe was also actually a lot worse then how he was portrayed. Finally the cousin of my wife's grandfather was the jewler who made the ring at the end of the movie.
Goeth's daughter said that after he died and she got in her teens, if her mother was angry at her, she would tell her daughter that she was just like her father. How brutal is that, when you find out exactly what he did to people?
Goethe's biracial granddaughter has written a book named ", my grandfather would have shot me" - that's how evil he was
Over here in Germany we watch this in history class in 10th grade. We also have to go on mandatory trips to former concentration camps in 9th grade and former extermination camps in 12th grade. And the aura in these places really hits different. You can’t imagine that, you can literally FEEL the death that happened there. It’s actually kinda scary.
I went to a concentration camp in Belgium
All this anti-Nazi education may end up with more negative consequences than positive.
Harrison Ford begged for this role but Spielberg thought his stardom would have taken away from the story.
as a decendant of a holocaust survivor, I must say thank you for watching this film. it's so important for the world to know about this film and this topic or we risk letting the world repeat this horrible history

Cool
Well you nailed it in the intro, it is a sad and brutal movie. It's a hard movie for me to watch even with reactions but really want to see how you dealt with this.
You’re DAMN right, a teacher of history once told us that The Schindler’s list is the most REALISTIC representation of World War 2
@@alfiro-morgif3908 don’t forget Polanski’s the pianist
Love your channel Nick stay wholesome
@@starwarsprequelsandsequels7582 oh yeah, that one too. I think that was the First World War 2 movie I saw.
One I recommend you is Defiance, based in real facts, during 1940 and 1941; 4 brothers hide in the woods, saving Jews and defending themselves from the Nazis. Might not be brutal as the pianist or Schindler’s list, but is really entertaining.
And to think it was worse than what we see in the film, brutal.
"I could have gotten more..." -Oscar Schindler.
Still one of the most powerful lines in cinematic history for me. It's one of my favorite moments ever...
*Oskar
Powerful....and it all happened so recently in historical terms
Yes... or didn't happen at all according to some conspiratorial f**knuts these days. It's important to keep spreading the word about these events and keep people educated on how quickly things can spiral downwards if we allow ourselves to give in to prejudice and hatred. I think the people reacting to this film on UA-cam are doing society a great service by bringing awareness to a younger generation of people who may have otherwise not seen it. History books are great but they don't really illustrate the full scope of tragedies like these as well as films like Schindlers List do.
@@foilhattiest1 yes
@@foilhattiest1 Perspective is important, and the younger generation and even older generations lack perspective, I hope more things like this and others stay relevant in peoples lives, constantly reminding them of the trials of the past, the suffering caused to humans by humans, that it’s easy to fall back into the kind of thinking that fosters hatred and suffering. We need to be reminded again and again, so we never repeat the past.
there are still very old people who lived through this still alive today. Several decades can feel quite old but yet at the same time so recent at the same time.
@@matthewmiller9485 yup
This is actually history the actors got to spend time with the survivors and learn exactly how they felt at the time thats how you get such powerful performances by the actors , at the end the actually people are there escorted by the actors that played them
Robin Williams used to call Steven Spielberg and riff out jokes during the filming to make him feel better.
It's actually Spielberg who called Williams b/c the former had been crying so much.
I couldn't even imagine how Spielberg felt making this. This was his passion project, but I'm sure it tore him up inside to do it.
You're doing a public good by reacting to this movie. This makes it watched and known by more people.
Definitely an eye opener for a lot of people.
I like how you're not afraid of variety with your reactions, and that you genuinely seem to care and try to make a positive change regarding heavy or hateful themes and subjects.
12 Years A Slave is another life changing movie which everyone needs to see.
Like this, you can have an idea from hearing about it in History Class or whatever but the representation of it on film changes that tenfold
I don't know how you managed to sit through this without crying a bit. One of the greatest movies ever made. 10/10
"Hate is a wasteful emotion. Most of the people you hate don't know you hate them and the rest don't care." -Medgar Evers (R.I.P.)
Indeed
You should read "Night" by Elie Wiesel. It's about his first hand experience going into a Getto at 14 and then being taken to a concentration camp. He doesn't hold anything back, it's a heartbreaking but amazing book.
Next you should really watch 'The Pianist', it's an incredible Oscar winning movie that has similar themes to this one.
Yeah this movie and the pianist are movies that need to be watched by everyone at some point..
24:25 ""Who are you? Moses?" 5 years later, Fieness played Rameses in Prince of Egypt.
Another person I follow watched this not long ago and someone else made a perfect comment which I just felt was so true: Some movies aren’t made just to be entertaining but for importance. Everyone needs to see this movie.
we saw that in school, like everyone else, do you think he never saw that in school? don't kid yourself
@@Zero11s I didn't see it in school.
Where it breaks the mold is that it combines both things so perfectly.
The movie ends with him having saved '6 thousand descendants'. I think I'm right in saying that that number was reexamined and it's actually a bit higher.
I believe it's around eight thousand now.
It was probably right in 1993. It has been 25 years since.
@@xhagast the latest figure I got was from 2012 and it was 8500 then.
It's over 10.000 now. Oskar Schindler saved a small town.
It's always the little girl in the glasses that gets me in this one, since she looks exactly like my little sister who I love more than anyone. I'm so glad she survived
When Steven Spielberg went back to college to finish his degree, he turned in this movie as his final school project. I'm pretty sure he got an A.
In my opinion, one of the most beautiful, albeit terrible, shots in this movie is the nighttime liquidation of the ghetto when it pulls back and we see the light of the gunshots in each individual window and how its synonymous with the Mozart being played on the piano, as if each gunshot is a finger striking a key.
You right
For how good this movie is, for the context, history, importance, message and meaning behind it...this is the greatest movie ever made and one of the most important.
Leave it to the most significant period in modern history (WWII) to spawn the greatest movie.
I agree
I remember watching this at school.
That’s cool your school showed it, I wish mine had, instead we watched dumbass movies that had no historical importance.
Me too
Yeah, same. We had a whole holocaust curriculum back in the 8th grade. Then one day, they gathered all of the 8th graders and showed this to us.
It isn‘t a movie, but the documentation Shoah from the french director Claude Lanzmann is perhaps the best thing ever done about this matter!
He interviewed contemporary witnesses in over a dozen countries, visited original places and spoke with victims and perpetrators over almost 30 years and put the cut material in the perhaps most important 10 hours of documentation in the 20th century
I thin the scene of the little boy seen making a cutting gesture over his neck, is a callback to the old train machinist seen in Lantzman's "Shoah".
The interview with Rudolf Vrba was breathtaking
They interviewed 398 of the 1187 Schindler Jews available for the premake of this film, with almost every single speaking role being down to the exact detail as the survivors stated, most of whome were at shooting and would completely restart the scene if a single thing was wrong. It’s hard to get any better than that.
"Seeing this shit just makes me want to go spread good in the world".
THIS is what makes this film truly brilliant.
Bravo for expressing this so succinctly.
While Liam Needing had some large roles before... this movie put him on the A list.
Needing?
@@Saranda4787😂😂😂
The fucked up part is that Amon Goth, which mind you was played absolutely brilliantly, was actually toned down for this movie because otherwise, people wouldn't have believed it.
We're talking a man who was removed from office for being **too cruel by nazi standards**. Let that one sink in.
How Spielberg managed to make this and Jurassic Park at the same time I’ll never know
in high school, I knew a girl being raised by her grandmother. her grandmother was a holocaust survivor
Exactly this wasn’t that long ago man people think events are soooo long ago when they’re really not
This was one of the few movies that actually made me cry and depressed for about a week but it’s a brilliant movie that only needs one viewing
Yup
Watching this masterpiece of a film is like being transported back in time.
This movie changed my life...It got me interested in what the holocaust was and what was done. After this movie, it was months of researching. I even got to meet a holocaust survivor. He signed the book he wrote. It was definitely a life changing movie.
Also: best musical score ever. The whole soundtrack is a masterpiece. Respect to John Williams
They did sugarcoat a lot, as it was much more brutal and sadistic, but Spielberg felt that it would become unbelievable cause it's so inhumane that nobody would believe it was actually what happened, so they made it less dramatic.
I remember whatching this in the cinema and everyone in the packed cinema just sat there silently for at least 10 minutes after the movie ended. And from reading so many commets it was the same almost everywhere
Literally every music composed by John Williams is a masterpiece
When Spielberg asked John Williams to compose the music for the movie and send him the script Williams answered "You need a better composer than me for this movie." Spielberg just answered "I know, but they are all dead."
I'm german and at least in my school, we watched this and some other movies about WW2 and in general really talked deeply about everything that happened and why/how it happened, which I find really important
Here in Germany this movie was shown in History class when I was in school! I think that should be the case in every country!
Yes
@@starwarsprequelsandsequels7582 It was also shown to us in Portugal in History class
@@robertosobreiro6212 cool

Despite knowing beforehand it was a true story, I still broke when at the end they are walking and it becomes colorized and you see the survivors at the grave.
He knows. 00:34
@@chelseaNmomo I thought he was talking about the use of dummies and squibs. The violence looks more real when its in front of the camera not cgi blood bull crap.
Green Mile and Schindler’s List are the only 2 movies I saw in my life that made me cry.
One of the very best films shot in black and white by the great Janusz Kamiński. Not an easy watch by any means but a necessary one at that
Some of this garbage still happens in the world today. Some politicians and corporations you've heard of are turning a blind eye to it now. Something to think of.
I believe that when John Williams was asked by Steven Spielberg to write a score for the movie, he was shown it w/o music and Williams said that he wasn’t good enough a composer for the film, and Steven Spielberg said he knew but the better ones were all dead.
Also, Amon Goerth was watered down in this film because they thought if they actually portrayed him how he really was, he would be considered almost comically evil.
12:24 It holds a great deal back. The film didn't show most of the atrocities, even in the confinements of this specific story alone.
But it was done so that it would fit wide audiences.
Fuck me. This and the Red Wedding in the same week. That's some crazy viewing.
And TCW 5x16 Thursday right?
You gotta space them out far between.
Except this one concerns history.
@Ricardo Alonso Rojas I said "concerns", not "is inspired by".
In one of the books i read about Oscar Schindler it mentioned that there was a high ranking general named Schindler. Since people knew Oscar had powerful friends many people assumed the general was a relative of his and this was very helpful, no soldiers wanted to mess with a general’s relative.
23:22 ''... Schindler can't do much ... he's just one man ..." Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.
That scene where Liam breaks down saying how he could of saved more, always makes me cry, just a stellar performance
I am in my forties, I remember seeing this movie at the theater on a Sunday afternoon with a whole group of jewish in their fifties and older. I was a catholic in my early teenage years, I remember coming out of that movie theater thinking it was the best movie I"d ever seen. After close to 30 years, still my favorite movie.
The character arcs which Schindler takes is beautiful to watch. This film is brutal, beautiful and deserved all the Oscar's. I still cry every time I see it....
16:14 "The effect in this are so realistic too."
Steven Spielberg is an absolute master at that. It's why Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, and plenty of other works he's done just has such great practical and special effects.
The Pianist is also a deep and amazing film. It hurts though so be aware
The Red Wedding, Schindler's List after all these fun happy time movies maybe you need to switch to Westerns, i.e. Tombstone and Unforgiven.
This movie was tough to watch, so good but man really fucks me up
I guess it‘s supposed to, so we never forget.
This movie and Hacksaw Ridge never fails to make me cry. They do such a good job of showing not only the heavy brutality humans are capable of, but also what extraodinary lengths they can do for good.
Haksaw ridge suck really hard
Another one I don't think I've seen people react to is the diary of Anne Frank
The 1959 film or one of the TV adaptations? The 2001 version featured Ben Kingsley.
@L M people are brain washed , we don’t get taught this in school the way things really happened. Unless you get a good professor who teaches you the truth (which I did luckily).
If you look at the tag line on the poster with the girl in the red coat, it sums up the movie perfectly. (Not to minimize the history). “The list is life.” Amazing film. Spielberg once noted, when asked why he chose black and white, he said it was too depressing in color. Imagine that.
Yup
*Spielberg* once said,¹ _"When we were making 'Schindler,' Liam came up to me one day and asked me if I could ever make another Indiana Jones movie where the Nazis are cartoon villains. I said, 'Never, never.' Right now I can't conceive of anything that's simply entertainment."_
*Edit:* One of my favorite quotes - _"Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."_

¹ ─ *NY Times* December 12, 1993 *'Steven Spielberg Faces the Holocaust'* By BERNARD WEINRAUB
No matter how prepared I believe I am for this movie, the “I could’ve done more.” scene always makes me cry.
You can tell a true hero.
A true hero doesn't talk about the lives they saved.
A true hero is haunted by the lives they didn't save.
This isn't just a movie, it's so much more than that. Aside from it being a retelling of a true story it is also an inspiration for people to do better, or to stand up for what you believe in if a situation like this were to ever occur again. Or even just in every day life.
Like you said (and other reactors say too) it's so realistic (although the reality had to be even worse) that it's like watching a documentary. You pretty much have to wonder how playing the leading roles affected Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes. Especially Ralph Fiennes.
I saw a interview with Amon Goeth's granddaughter. She said:"if Amon could see me, he would kill me!"
A very tough woman. She's black😊
everyone should read her book
One movie set in world war II I don't recall anyone I follow reacting to yet unless they did it before I started following them and I didn't notice it in the backlog was Sophie's choice
Watched this movie during English class in high school. Not a dry eye in the room.
This movie made me cry, as someone whose grandfather survived the Holocaust. He had to hide from the Nazis when he was a toddler because they were just going around shooting random Poles at the time so to think that he could have gone through something as horrible as this makes me sad.
A similar movie is The Pianist which was directed by Roman Polanski who survived the Nazi invasion of Poland. His family was killed but somehow he avoided being rounded up, and lived much like the main character of the movie; always one step ahead of the Nazis.
If you wanna see more of Liam Neeson, check out the Taken series.
He has a list in "Taken" too, but it's a shit list.
You would really like Darkman - it does not get enough love
I'm here for a taken/whatever action movie with Liam Neeson reactions.
He who saves one life saves the world entire
Jerry Springer said his dad who was a child of the holacaust , asked why his dad kept his car when he didn't drive any more, he was very old, he said " I keep it in case they come back" his dad was talking about the Nazis. His fear never went away. .
The 2 scenes with the girl in the red coat, I think to this day are 2 of the most powerful scenes in any film. That's when Schindler truly understood the plight of the Jews and became fully dedicated to saving as many as he could. It was a perfect depiction by Spielberg.
"how can you have so much hate" its all from ignorance.
I am glad, this movie is seen by so many people on UA-cam. It is so important.
As a Hungarian it's so weird to hear you haven't seen this movie. In my country, you can't get your general certificate without seeing it. It is a compulsory movie, and part of the secondary school curriculum.
😲😳😞
No way you were ready for this.
From a Cracked Article from a few years back, about how Schindler failed in later life (and he did)
"Don't take any of this to mean we're diminishing what he did during the war -- the sad epilogue in Schindler's life actually makes his heroism during the Holocaust all the more remarkable. This was not a particularly competent or driven or talented man -- he had no other successes to his name. But goddamn did the guy step up when the human race needed him to."
The day after Goeth walked down the line shooting every other man, one of the SS soldiers volunteered for the Russian front, according to the novel.
Such an important film.
If you want insane, I recommend traveling to Krakow and its Jewish quarter and all of the real places the film was shot, and visiting Auschwitz, Schindler's factory (now a museum), and all the rest.
I defy any rational person from going there and not learning something about themselves and the evil that people can do.
Ralph Fiennes deserved an Oscar for his performance
His performance as Amon Göeth was so good and so scary it gave Holocaust survivors who met the real Amon Göeth PTSD
At the end, when he almost counts down, ten more people, two more people - ONE more person, is *so* powerful, because he next breaks down, as if he DID allow *that one person* to die, someone's life, someone's love, someone's "whole world"
'Fun' fact: Amon Göeth had a daughter who married a black man. The couple had a daughter who wrote a book titled 'My grandfather would've shot me.'
Thanks for the anecdote. And imagine if the man was also Jewish😂😂😂😂
A movie everyone needs to see but it’s super heavy and hard to see multiple times. The end when they show the actors with the actual person or family member of who they played breaks me every time. Also knowing that the population of Polish Jews never recovered from these horrors adds even more heartache.
Also interesting that you brought up the transition to black and white at the start when the candle went out, and that things would have been filmed in black and white back at that time, but ironically maybe, some of the most notable early color movies were made in the 30s, and color movies were definitely being made in the 40s, like early westerns and Disney movies. Both 'The Wizard of Oz' and 'Gone with the Wind' came out in 1939!
11:29 "This ain't even the half of it, though. That's the worst part." FACTS! As shocking and graphic as this movie is, it is a sanitized version of the true horrors that went on in these places. There is no way they could show the true extent in a mainstream movie. This is probably the hardest, most emotionally draining movie any human being will ever watch.
Something most people outside Europe don't know about, Stoplerstein: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolperstein
It's the world's largest decentralized memorial and started a year before this movie cane out..
You should also see "The Color Purple" but you'll need recovery time after this one.
Some UA-cam couples watched this and kept making jokes and even got bored and looked at their phones. No sadness at all. Digusting animals. If no one has any emotion watching this, they shouldn't exist.
Some people have no empathy, no matter what we might like to think. Some are just different, more machine than man.
