Some movies aren't what you'd call entertaining, but they are important. This is one of those movies, and everyone should see it.
This is a movie I have purchased in every format and can't watch any of them. Even watching it edited with her, I sobbed like I did in the theatre over 20 years ago.
All movies are actually part of entertaiment but i get your point.
American History X
@@jimhsfbay That was a great movie!
have to agree with above, sad movies, scary movies, thrillers etc are still entertaining even if its not joyful. Its entertaining watching the leads act there asses off. its entertaining watching Steven Spielberg's film mastery. its entertaining watching a redemption arc.
"I feel like it's a horror movie but it's worse because it's real." You hit the nail directly on the head.
the problem is, that the majority of people take hollywood-movies like this as totaly real. Everything has happened 100% like shown in the movie for them.
I have 2x problems with the movie
1.) the movie has errors just to have a nice hollywood-effect...i.e. in reality Amon Göth could not have shot from his balcony, as the balcony is on the wrong side of his house - away from the camp- AND his house is in a sink
2.) the movie is totally missing "context"....its not shown....and the majority of people dont know, that Konrad Morgen (ss-member) investigated cases like Amon Göth (by order of Himmler)
Due to the circumstances of the end of the war Amon Göth escaped from SS-prison before a SS-court could fine him. But the SS-courts have sentenced 2x camp-commanders to death (and executed them).
Specially part 2.) is nowhere mentioned.......this part is not featering the ortodox-story
@James Blackhart
Could become?
Watch the world around you. It's already here.
That phone you hold in your hand every day. That's big brother watching.
It was based on a fiction book
Actually this is NOT "real" because NOTHING can truly convey the IMMENSITY of the REAL HORROR of what ACTUALLY happened.
@@keinervondaoben720 Helen Jonas who was enslaved at that house along with Helen Hirsch goes back to the house and gives a detailed run down room by room of what use to happen there. While in a constant stream of hyperventilation and tears, not only does she confirm Amon shot prisoners from off his balcony, she even knew which hat he'd wear when he was about to do it. The actual house has two lookouts from what I gathered from looking at it, one facing the camp and another different lesser balcony facing away from it. It's really heartbreaking to hear this 80 year old woman to break down again and turn into a little girl in this house.
I saw this movie in the theater at 14 and it absolutely floored me. A few days later I talked to one of my closest high school friends about it, and he revealed that his own grandmother was one of Schindler's Jews. I was talking to someone who literally wouldn't have been alive were it not for what the man did. (My friend is now married with three daughters.)
you kind of witnessed history!
Okay that’s kind of neat
Still floors me every time I watch it
That is unbelievably beautiful
It's a work of fiction. It says so in the book it's based on. Evil destructive film
What's unbelievable is that there are people today that deny this even happened and want it to be erased. No matter how horrific a period of history is, it cannot be forgotten. History tends to repeat itself if not known. I've always said this should be in every high school history class. God bless you for watching it.
William casey director of CIA "we will know when are disinformation program is complete when everything the American people know is false", director FBI j edgar hoover "the individual comes face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe that it exists"
you know, there are so many movies about "nazi bad", and i agree, they were bad, but they pale in comparison with Stalin and Mao and Xi Jin Ping... People think communism is good. It's just as bad if not even worse! And we are quickly moving toward totalitarism in todays world, but instead of nazies it's identity politics, woke companies that go hand in hand with the gov and activists that yell loud and proud about things they don't understand and they have "peaceful protest" that live cities a burning ruin!
When asking questions about the Holocaust gets you blacklisted then that's going to create denier's.
I think it's just similar to how people can't believe in things like the universe being massive or humans being insignificant. It's easier for them to not believe it.
Small brains, basically.
I agree but I suppose the way they look at it is history is written by the victors not the losers…
“If you feel pain, you’re alive. If you feel other people’s pain, you’re a human being”- Leo Tolstoy
Schindler’s List is a documentary of the first, witnessed from the eyes of the second.
Igor Garin
Writer, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences
The fascization of modern Russia follows almost the same scenario as the Nazization of Germany.
Russia's immunity to fascism seems far-fetched, as does the fact that Soviet Bolshevism and German National Socialism are mutually exclusive antipodes. By pure chance, Stalin and Hitler favored each other, the ideologue of Nazism Rosenberg was educated in Russia, and Mussolini literally jumped into "fascism" from "socialism"? But what about the "Friendship Society of the NKVD and the Gestapo" that was formed after the conclusion of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? "The Society of Friendship of the NKVD and the Gestapo"? Or how to assess the fact that after the "reunification" of Ukraine with Galicia, a real beating of the local population began here: the Stalinists in Western Ukraine repressed almost one and a half million people? And what about the real genocide unleashed by Stalinism in the Baltics?
After 1985, it suddenly became clear that fascism began to sprout in the country, as they say, from all holes. My "Russian Fascism" lists hundreds and hundreds of pro-fascist organizations, almost instantly created in the country - from the "Black Hundred" revived by Shtilmark to "Legion - Werewolf", "Front of National Revolutionary Action", "Russian Party", " Imperial Party "," People's Patriotic Front Memory "," National Social Union "," Russian National Union "," National Unity "," Russian National Unity "(RNE), RNS.
The well-known historian, professor at New York University, Alexander Yanov, likened the current political situation in Russia to the Weimar Republic in Germany: "In our case, the elimination of internationalist communism opened the green light for a nationalist revolution, in which fascism always appears as a mask."

Drama queens
One the film isn't a Documentary, it's a dramatization and is officially considered an work of fiction. It's loosely based of real events, and nit picks some of the worst stories from the big "H" and condenses it down into a single narrative. The film is based off the book which was already considered fiction officially. So in most respects it's Historic Fiction, ie tries to let people feel what it was most likely like, but doesn't care too much at all about historic accuracy. For this it isn't a documentary. Is it an important film? Yes.
@@47yrsnnothingdonesleepyjok38 Josef Goebbels "All Socialism is antisemitism." If you read Marx's early works you will understand why he'd say that.
The most powerful line: "I could have gotten one more Person..." a huge contrast to how the victims of the holocaust were viewed by their murderers.
That gets me like no other. An utter contrast and what we have to remember in order to keep our humanity in this world. Talking about thinking of people as individuals and not statistics.
Dos : "Please God One More."
i sort of find a parallel to that to the plot about saving private ryan - its also about finding the indvidual, one single person in the middle of war - something that is so utterly careless about the indvidual. There might be a theme there in both spielberg movies.
That scene gets me every time! Flood gates.... :'(
My grandma's brother survived Sachsen Hausen by pure chance. During the liberation in 1945, the Brits and the white buses saw something moving in one of those piles of dead prisoners... it was him and they got him out at the last moment. Any longer, and he would not have survived. The Holocaust was indeed a real thing, despite conspiracy theorists! :P
That scene was made up for the movie. The ring was made but he left quietly in the middle of the night. Still makes me cry though
What John Williams said after watching a rough cut of the film,
“I said to Steven, ‘I really think you need a better composer than I am for this film.’ And he [Spielberg] very sweetly said, ‘I know, but they’re all dead.’”
It's too hard to watch
What composers was he talking about? Ones who lived during the Holocaust?
@@marcusblackwell2372 I think he meant people like Mozart and Beethoven.
When you asked about the significance of the girl in the red coat, my heart sank because I simply knew how it would affect you when she is carted with the other bodies to the pyre to be incinerated. But I think that is part of the genius of Spielberg. In a film entirely black-and-white, she stood out, and as an audience we needed to notice her. We needed to see that she lived, and we needed to see that she died. And in a movie full of such brutality, you can be numbed to the violence and brutality of it. Showing her coat in color was so critical to making sure we noticed her, out of all the victims. Tragic genius from Spielberg.
Amon Goeth did in fact sit on his balcony and snipe at the Jews in his camp. Mila Pfefferberg met Ralph Fiennes during filming and trembled with fear because he looked so much like Goeth in uniform.
There is a documented incident of a young boy who was standing in the line, suffering from diarrhea, who crapped himself. Goeth made him eat the diarrhea and then shot him.
@@padfolio Also Spielberg asked survivors wether he portrayed Amon Goeth right, and asked them how Goeth was.. and what he did... and they told him, that he did much worse, than in Spielbergs script written. For example Goeth also often fed his dogs (Rottweilers) with Jews who were still alive, but to weak to defend against the dogs. Spielberg was terrified and said ''no.. we cant put those things in the movie... its to terrible''
@@PygmalionFaciebat It was too terrible and they think, that no one of the audience would believe that a human being would be able to do such cruel things. So they portraited him less cruel to make it "believable"
I read he used his dogs too. Yes, Spielberg said it in an Interview
A slight correction, Goethe did shoot prisoners with a high powered rifle but surviving accounts say he bothered to walk outside his house, but only just, and shot from an open space directly adjacent.
" How can so many people kill so many people?" Because they were conditioned not to see them as people.
And it was done in many small steps over many years.
and there is the lesson we must all take heed of.
And it still goes on today 😔
The Germans took pictures of the villages and people they killed like hunters posing with the deer they shot. They genuinely believed the Jews and Slavs they set out to eradicate were not human, this is the brainrot that Nazis brought.
Any time you see someone compare a group of people to insects, rats or something like that, or use words like "infest" to describe immigrants, that person is trying to do the same thing. Dehumanize a group of people
I was 47 years old when I first saw Schindler's List in the theater. At the end, there was absolute silence in the theater except for the tears being shed, mine among them. At 75, the tears still flow when I watch the movie, which I have seen three times. Spielberg, IMHO, the greatest film director who's ever lived, said he got the idea of filming the movie in black and white after watching actual black and white documentaries about the Holocaust, most of which were shot in the death camps, and the emotional impact they had on him. “The Holocaust was life without light," he said. "For me the symbol of life is color." It also allowed him to use the red coat on the little girl to demonstrate the "innocence of childhood" and the evil of which human beings are capable. “America and Russia and England all knew about the Holocaust when it was happening, and yet we did nothing about it. We didn’t assign any of our forces to stopping the march toward death, the inexorable march toward death. It was a large bloodstain, primary red color on everyone’s radar, but no one did anything about it. And that’s why I wanted to bring the color red in,” Spielberg said. By the way, the real little girl behind the red coat story is Roma Ligocka, a Jewish girl who was known in the ghetto for her red coat. She actually survived the Holocaust and in 2002 wrote a book titled "The Girl in the Red Coat." To film in black and white, Spielberg had to use all of his immense influence to get the studio to agree to his filming in black and white. Spielberg refused to accept a salary for directing the film, saying it would be "blood money!" And, yes, Spielberg is Jewish!
Thank you, sir
Didn't he donate a large amount from this movie to holicost education or something like that.
@@edwardfrench475The Shoah Foundation is what it's called.
The US suffered over 1,000,000 casualties (killed and wounded) fighting the Nazis . Over one million American boys. And then there are the POWs - of which my uncle was one for two years, To say we "did nothing" is a horrifically gross comment.
How Liam didn’t get an Oscar for this I would never know
Cause he went up against Al Pacino from Scent of a Woman.
@@PolymurExcel Nope. He lost to Tom Hanks in Philadelphia.
Or Ralph Fiennes….
Wait what??
@@osmanyousif7849 He Lost To Tommy Lee Jones Badass Role For "The Fugitive".
The "I could have saved more" exchange at the end gets me every time.
Just reading it here got me....
And me
@@Edd25164605 And me.
Me, too.
Every time.
To explain the rocks the people he saved put on his grave stone.
In Judaism it is considered a Mitzvahs(a good deed) to participate in the burial of a loved one, putting a stone on the grace a symbolic way of doing this . The Jews where honoring Schindler the same way they would for a member of there own family.
Very well stated Aaron. That is what we do to honor our buried loved ones
@@j.d.1506 as I am sure you know we also ask each person attendiing the funeral if they are physical capable, to shovel one shovel full of dirt onto the grave for the same reason.
@@Aaron-io8vw Thats also a thing at christian funerals, at least in our region, you can choose between a shovel of dirt or roses
@@thomasnieswandt8805 When we shovel, we use the back of the shovel first, to symbolize how hard it is to bury the person, and to complete the Mitzvah.
I want to thank you for your heart and respect for this movie. As a Jewish person who had relatives in the Holocaust it hits home and as the immortal saying goes “never again”. I also want to comment on your statement about “who am I to comment or say anything about what happened”. If not for people like you, what happened may be forgotten. So you are the most important person in this case.
NEVER AGAIN indeed. And what is happening around the world and IN THE US today sickens me.
I remember when I was younger I used to work at a GNC. Every week a little old lady would come and buy vitamins and chit chat with me. She was very pleasant but somewhat sad in a way. I just attributed to her maybe losing her husband or a loved one. One day I saw a tattoo on her arm with a series of numbers. I asked her if she was Jewish. She looked surprised and asked me how I knew. I pointed to the tattoo on her arm and told her how I read about the holocaust. Her eyes started to water and she told me how she lost her whole family in the concentration camps. She was surprised that the schools would teach that. I told her that they hadn't I was a World War 2 history buff and I had read about it. She said that we should never forget about the past lest it be repeated again.
There's been several genocides since the Holocaust.
When you said "this cannot be true" when he was hunting people on his balcony, I'm pretty sure they actually had to tone down his evilness
Yes, Amon really was a very evil person and yes, he shot them from balcony just for fun. The Polish government sentenced him for many crimes, including this one... :(
Yes they did, correct. ☹️
Yes they did, Spielberg himself said (meaning not word by word) "We had to scale it down by A LOT. If we had shown, what he really did, nobody would have believed us. They would say, nobody could be that evil"
Yes. This ‘punishment’ was still quite tame in comparison to other heinous things they did. It was indescribable and no words in human languages can describe what happened there
Please ignore Keiner Vondaoben. He's coming off as a Nazi apologist while completely ignoring the fact that the upper command ordered and approved the industrial killing of Jews and groups held in camps.
Disgusting that we still have people like this these days.
This is the most important movie Steven Spielberg has ever made!
I would go further and say it's one of the most important movies humanity has created so far.
It's his masterpiece
He has said as much himself. It led to him establishing The Shoah Foundation.
Beyond thematically tbis movie is one of the best shot films in the history of filmmaking - the cinematography and the use of shadow are nearly unrivaled
The girl in red gets me everytime. Spielberg wanted that girl burned into your minds before he shows you she was one of millions. John Williams score is second to none. Like I said before 2 of my trinity
I lost family at Auschwitz and this movie crushes me every time. I’m so glad you took the time to watch this because our memories will help ensure this never happens again. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Respect
Reality check : Minorities persecutions are indeed happening again, right now, in our own time !
One of them being the 'Uyghur Genocide' : Since 2014 the Chinese government incarcerated more than one million Turkic Muslims in internment/labour camps without any legal process. It is the largest-scale detention of ethnic and religious minorities since World War II. Since 2017, some sixteen thousand mosques have been razed or damaged and hundreds of thousands of children have been forcibly separated from their parents and sent to 'boarding schools'.
I love that last shot of Liam Neeson placing rhe flowers on his grave. Not as the character he was playing but as himself
Interesting fact: The man who puts the flower on the grave and stands before the grave (30:43) is Liam Neeson, the actor who played Oskar Schindler.
I would call it an interesting fact... not a fun fact.
I am surprised that people don't recognize him or his profile in that shot.
@@siliconiusantogramaphantis2122 He took your advice.
I always wondered who that was, and when you say it it's obvious
FALSE FALSE FALSE -
IT was Steven Spielberg
This movie actually tones down the evil acts of Amon Göth simply because they were convinced that if they were to show what he really did it would seem like an over the top caricature and nobody would believe it happened
Even the nazis themselves thought he was absolutley nuts and he was actually locked up by the SS in a sanitorium.
It really says something when even the Nazis think you are fucking crazy
It would have sent the movie into an NC-17 rating, and not for sex, nudity, or vulgar language.
do you know what he did, like what did he do that is so evil that no one would believe it?
@@meanarcissist Well for starters, he had his personal German Sheppard guard dogs trained to tear people up to shreds upon command, and did so to countless children rounded up in the camp's "kindergarten".
@@thatnorwegianguy1986 I've always thought that if you come across someone and the SS think nope this guy is making us look bad. Then well...
The shower scene was the most terrified I have ever been in a movie theatre. My throat was so tight I was almost gasping for a breath. By the end of that scene I realized I was actually sobbing.
Same for me
Actually my least favorite scene even looking back. Its the cavalry coming to the rescue that never would have actually happened. That was clearly a gas chamber. There was no water plumbing in the gas chambers.
@@jimland7176 It's true there was no plumbing in the gas chambers but I watched an interview with one survivor and she said 200 girls including her were sent to the gas chamber but the locking mechanism on the door broke so they were sent back to the barracks after sitting in there for an hour.
@@jimland7176It actually did happen. Some of the survivors said about it that it happened about 3 times while they were there and every time they thought they were being gassed.
I didn't realize it at the time I went with my father to see this in the theater in 1993, but I was at a crucial point in my development as a cinephile and as a human being. I had always loved movies, but I approached them primarily as a form of entertainment. The idea that they could also function as a means of artistic expression was a concept I was only beginning to become vaguely familiar with. I was also moving rapidly toward what proves to be a major crossroad in everyone's life. I was 17. It was the winter of my senior year in high school. Graduation was just around the corner and I was preparing to leave home and head off to college to try and figure out who I was and make something of myself.
I was unprepared for how brutal, honest and powerful the film proved to be. The inhumanity, the cruelty, the savagery, the complete and utter disregard for human life that was on display in the film hit me and everyone else in the audience like a MAC truck. When the lights came up, everyone was just sitting there, dumbfounded, looking like they'd been sucker-punched. Slowly and silently, everyone started to get up and file out. On the drive home, my dad and I discussed the film (as we always do) and while I don't remember what we talked about, I do remember is his taking me by Fred Meyer on the way home and purchasing the film's soundtrack for me.
It's not the kind of film one typically chooses as a "favorite," but over the years, my admiration for the film grew to such an extent that I came to regard it as the best film I'd ever seen. Not only did it jumpstart my education in an incredibly frightening chapter in our civilization's history, but it opened my eyes to the power and potential of cinema: to tell compelling stories with honesty and dignity, to explore important themes with restraint and depth, to highlight humanity at its best and its worst. That was probably the most lasting effect of the film on my life. Despite its dark subject matter, SCHINDLER'S LIST does not foster despair in me. I never leave the film with no hope. If anything, it motivates me to be a better person. To not let evil subsume goodness. To listen to the "better angel of my nature." I haven't always been successful at it, but the desire is genuine. Like the film's opening image, I wish to light a candle rather than curse the darkness.
I like to describe Schindler's List as "The best movie I never wanna see again".
So important for people to see.
@@RobWool Come on over here and talk to me, chick. You need to express your hatred to me.
@@RobWool can't tell if you're pathetically funny or just sad.
@@RobWool Oh, 'ere we go. There's always one.
A similar one for me is "The Road"
Since when is the truth propaganda
I come from a town about an hour and a half drive away from Auschwitz. We were shown this movie in elementary school, and then went on a school trip to there during high school. I don't think we got traumatized by the experience, but we won't ever forget it. I personally, after learning all about what happened, became very firm in my belief that if someone, no matter who, tells mo to hate someone else, solely based on some feature that the person cannot control - I should never ever believe such an advice. Looking at the world today, I can see that some people did not learn the same lesson in their lives.
@@faisalmemon285 And how do you think this war would turn out?

Very true but I sometimes feel people tag all Germans as Nazis

“I feel like I am watching a horror movie.” That is because it is without the monsters and ghosts. Steven Spielberg described it as such and shoulb be in any horror movie category.
Goethe was actually toned down for the film because Spielberg KNEW people wouldn’t accept that someone was that evil. He actually got in trouble with the SS because if it. When the frigging SS thinks you’ve gone too far, you’re definitely a monster.
About Oskar Schindler: "Is he going to be a good guy, or a very bad guy?" Like the majority of us, he was Neither. And both.
@Michael Green he still did prison time for war crimes
@@tomhirons7475 Yes he did and rightly so. However he is one of the few people in the world who did horrible things who had a succesful redemption arc.
That is not something that happens often in real life.
@@grumbeard i fully agree
If I'm not mistaken, Schindler was a relative unknown to history until Spielberg made this film.
@@professordogwood8985 You are mistaken, the movie is based on a book from 1982, after the war Schindler received financial support from Jewish organizations and when he failed in his businesses he also got help from the Schindler Jews he saved, the biggest prove that he was known is that Schindler have died on 1974 and was buried in Jerusalem on Mount Zion(we see his grave at the end of the movie), that's a big deal since only people that the state of Israel wishes to honor gets to be buried on that mountain(he is the only member of the Nazi Party to get that honor).
Maybe he wasn't known to the average person before the movie, but how many historical figures are known to the average person? he was known to historians and people that dealt with the subject.
I think Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth is one of the best performances and most despicable movie villain of all time. It's a sad fact that the real Goeth committed unimaginable crimes, even worse than what we saw in the film.
"why is the roof down, I'm @#$&ing freezing"
How would he compare in your mind to J.P. in the gladiator?
One of the Schindler Jews was a consultant/adviser on the film. She was on set the day Ralph Fiennes first got into dress and character as Amon Goeth. Spielberg said she had a full blown panic attack, the resemblance and mannerisms Fiennes had to Goeth were terrifyingly accurate.
I remember when Ralph Fiennes had been announced he was cast as Voldemort I had jut seen this so I knew he could potray a great villain
@@TheTerranscout Both great villains, but totally different films. I think Commodus was a more classical villain, fitting to the revenge plot that Gladiator is (we hate him mostly because of what he does to Maximus, not because of what he represents). It's a great technical performance by Phoenix, but Goeth is the tougher part to play, because Commodus' actions - deplorable as they are - can easily be explained and understood through basic human emotion: he's a scared, jealous, neglected young man looking for approval and lashes out when he doesn't get what he wants. Goeth's evil is much more subtle and sinister. His thinking cannot be rationalized and his crimes truly leave you feeling empty. For instance, when he was hung at the end of the film, I didn't really feel any satisfaction; his death didn't do justice to such an awful human being. Whereas when Commodus was killed, I felt a great sense of relief (since that was the whole point of the plot of course).
There are those whose first instinct is to look away from things like this. There are people who think it's too horrific to be seen. It's these things that we need to face to ensure this NEVER happens again.
Apparently that scene with the misfire actually happened. There was a also a guy called Nicholas Winton who saved a load of kids in WW2, his appearance on that’s life will bring anyone to tears. The clip is on UA-cam somewhere
Due out dec 8th this year is one life. A film about Nicholas Winton.
"How? How? HOW? How could they kill children?"
"The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human."
- Aldous Huxley
Yes, much like the millions of abortions that have been performed. Much of society has accepted that "unborn" children are not children. It *is* sick and disgusting.
That's a pretty lame comparison.
@@trex9263 That's because they're not children - they're fetuses.
Well, if your target is no longer human, does it really make a difference if you're killing them as adults or as childen? Same thing was said during Rwanda in 1994: kill the 'cockroach' children and in future there are no more cockroaches...........
They compared the Jews to cattle and objects. That made it easier to kill them. A lot of German people no longer were viewed as humans. Children were taught that in school. But the quote from Huxley describes it very well
"I could have gotten more..."
It's still one of my favorite and one of the most powerful lines in a movie for me.
When Oscar says, I could have saved just one more, I believe he was thinking of the little girl in the red coat.
This is one of those movies that's hard to watch but everyone should watch. Neeson and Spielberg told Schindler's story beautifully.
This movie should be a warning of what happens when a singular group think takes over a society. When society says a particular group or ideology is „less than“ this kind of evil can happen.
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!
We watched monty python and the holy grail, so.... slightly different approach.
@Uncle Ho when they tell a true story accurately, it’s great for teaching kids.
@Uncle Ho damn, what a stupid comment
@@goassnmane It’s not a stupid comment. Unless I’m reading it wrong, I think what He was trying to say is that, because it’s a Hollywood movie, they probably left out more actuality than not.
Not necessarily that it never happened.
Again, I could be reading it wrong.
Se watched it in school in Sweden aswell
I was eighteen when the movie came out. The end nearly killed me, I was sobbing so hard. I own the BluRay and I force myself to watch this movie once a year, a lest we forget thing as I am German and my trust in humanity has eroded somewhat over time and keeps eroding. Each time I watch, there are different things that make me cry, but always, ALWAYS the little girl in the red coat (especially now that I have a daughter of about the same age), Schindler lamenting that he did not save more people and the Schindler Jews and the actors who portrayed them honoring Schindler by placing stones on his grave are among them.
Your reaction was heartrending and it showed your empathy and humanity. Thank you for that!
I agree to keep some sort of a reminder of what the Shoah has been even if its a movie. But do not be too hard on yourself, i hope you do not feel guilt over this. Also this movie to me shatters your faith in humanity but ends on a hopeful note, that even when a countey has gone completely mad, some have stayed sane and did the right thing at the risk of their life, that makes me have faith in the future. And as someone who actually works and study the 3rd reich i think its our duty to not forget what happen, because the nazis were human like us, and that alone should act as a reminder
I appreciate your honesty but not all Germans were bad anyway. A lot of you actually helped the Jews ,
But yes we need not forget this lesson
It's very like what's happening in Ukraine 🇺🇦 now ,
You stay safe 👍 friend
Beautiful comment. Life is priceless.
I do the same thing, because evil always exists and for good men just maybe that evil will not be as great.
I knew one person who actually lived through one of the death camps, and survived the "showers". When they all were locked in, and the gas came on, she and one other 16 year old girl put their faces into the drain and breathed the sewer gas. After everyone was dead, someone came in and opened the windows to evacuate the gas, but quickly left. Since they thought there would be nobody left alive, they were not watched, and the soldiers stayed a long distance away from that building. After a short time, the two girls dragged the dead bodies over to a window and walked up the stack of bodies to jump out of the window and ran away. They were nude and ran for miles into the woods to safety. She passed away 8 years ago, I miss her quick wit and sense of humor. Such a lovely soul! RIP Jenny
It's crazy because I'm from the Eastern part of the world and these kinds of stuff were never taught in our history lessons. These should be taught more across the entire world to let people know how horrible humans can be to each other.
Congratulations. Your review of the film was extremely moving, and covered all the significant, important situations that occurred throughout the film. Several of the other reaction videos here on UA-cam missed those moments completely. Incredibly, two of the reviews I watched, did not even show the little girl in the red coat at all, when her inclusion is so important to the story.
The emotion you showed throughout this reaction, thus revealing your overwhelming compassion for people, is a testament to who you are. You are an unselfishly beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing your kindness.

That was a pretty revolting thing to suggest and there’s no getting away from it
Lance,well said and I totally agree with you.
I saw the thumbnail and was like “Oh dear, she’s watching this one.” Heavy would be an understatement.
I feel so bad for her. She feels things so deeply,
"The Pianist" would be heavier, since it's totally devoid of the usual sentimental touches Spielberg gives to his films ("Munich" being the exception to the rule).
I think Amistad is probably more depressing.
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy The Pianist is also one she should watch, but not anytime soon. It would probably be a bit more than she could bear right now.
All excellent suggestions. If there’s one thing Spielberg excels at, it’s presentation and this presentation ranks up there with the some of the most impactful movies. Ever.
should honestly be watched by everybody once or more. We should never forget the unimaginable cruelty that destroyed millions based on their identity.
This is why history class is so important in school, because without seeing this movie I still knew what happened, but the movie makes it hit so much more
What’s taught depends on the teacher and school district.
The last scene, when Oscar Schindlers wife Emilie looks at Oscars grave, is one of the few moments in movie history which will always make me cry.
I worked at a cinema when this released; after the first screening when we realized *everyone* sat through the entire end credits we had to adjust the start times of all subsequent showings to allow guests the time to compose themselves. It would be nearly 25 years before I watched it again with my then HS aged children and I've never wept more seeing the horror and empathy on their faces. When I saw that Cassie was watching it, I died a little inside and hoped she had someone at home to hug afterward. Band of Brothers and the Pacific can't prepare you for this.
I have a daughter who's the same age as the girl in the red jacket. It made me feel things that i didn't feel while watching this movie when i was younger. Back then i felt the horrors and i shed a tear at the end - but this time i was crying my eyes out the whole time...
Two movies I own on DVD but don’t have the strength to watch: “The Passion of the Christ” and “Schindler’s List”. I’m glad you allowed yourself the courage to take this movie in. It’s so hard on the heart. God bless you.
The passion of the Christ is a truly heartbreaking movie and one of the most cursed movies ever with people getting struck by lightning and many other v unexplainable phenomena its crazy. A great film tho.
The scene where the man is going to be executed but two different guns jammed is actually true.
The little girl in red is named in the original book; she was real and Oskar did see her from his horse being "shepherded" along.
@@DawnSuttonfabfour I didn’t know that, I thought that was a fictional addition oh my god. Thank you for sharing
Everyone talks about the ending choking them up, but that's the scene that does it for me. Goeth being furious that he can't kill this man in front of him.
@@TheFreshTrumpet the only thing is that the girl in red didn't actually died during the war in real life. But still an impactful addition to the movie nonetheless
The weird thing is those three officers each had a sidearm. If they had wanted him dead they could have simply used one of their own handguns but because, psychologically, they're little more than sadistic children, they quickly got bored and went to find another victim to torture .
The scene where Oskar Schindler started to wonder how many more lives he could have saved if he sold more of his belongings, is what broke me.
Very few movies make me actually shed a tear but that scene gets me EVERY time.
@@charmawow You wouldn't be human if that scene didn't get you.
The thing is with Amon Göth he was a lot worse in real life than he was portrayed in the film, Spielberg said they couldn't portray him as he really was, no one would have believed him.
The little girl who was wearing the red coat is Polish actress Oliwia Dąbrowska, she was only three years old at the time of filming so she was born in 1989/1990. Steven Spielberg told Oliwia not to watch this movie until she was 18 years old, anytime before this would be to traumatising for her. She was around 20 when she watched this movie and couldn't stop crying and she has also maintained a strong friendship with Spielberg through the years. A remarkable (and I sometimes found unsettling) movie directed by a remarkable genius (Spielberg).

It's a seriously incredible masterwork by Steven Spielberg. Spielberg USED to call ROBIN WILLIAMS to cheer him up after some of the days of the production.
Also, Spielberg with or without being Jewish, has seriously incredible talent shown when he made this! God Bless Spielberg.
Cassie, this is the most intense and powerful movie that will likely ever be made. I saw it in the theater when it was released and I remember a few people walking out when it became too brutal for them; there was no pausing it. It was hard seeing your reactions to it, but your humanity is beautiful to see and that's something none of us should ever lose.
When I was in high school, in my freshman year (grade 9), we had a special speaker in my history class who happened to be a Holocaust survivor. He went into incredibly graphic detail about his experiences in the camps. Believe me, as horrific as this movie portrays what happened to the Jewish people during this time, it's actually toned down, because to know everything that happened in the concentration camps is more than overwhelming. I will never forget that speaker, and what he told my class. I choke up just thinking about it, even almost 30 years later.
My great grandmother used to tell us stories about surviving the camps in polish as a children and believe me some things don't translate well but it was horrific beyond anything film has ever had save band of brothers
I met a holocaust survivor... I held her tight and cried for her.. I felt her pain....
I can't be certain but i think Elie Wiesel spoke at my middle school.
What's tragic is that today, schools would probably refuse to let Holocaust survivors speak because they're so skeeered of offending Muslims. I've never met a Muslim who believed the Holocaust happened but it DID.
@@largol33t1 I've met Muslims that believe it happened but some of them believe that it wasn't enough
Schindler's Factory is a museum now and it can be visited in Kraków (Cracov), Poland.
I never wanted to see this again (and I've been putting this off), but I'm glad that I've watched one of the most important films ever made with you and seen the reaction of a normal person, to unspeakable horror, man-made. We can never let this happen again.
I know you did this a year ago, but it's great to see an honest, unedited reaction to one of the most effective movies (and true stories!) in our generation. Bravo.
Nobody is really ready for this movie.
I went to see this with a friend of mine who knows that I’m an emotional person.. I kept it together for the entire movie and as we were walking to the car after, she asked me what I thought. I lost it and ended up crying on her shoulder in the middle of the parking lot as everyone passed. It’s a very powerful presentation of the worst of humanity and it can happen again if we let it.
This stuff is literally happening right now all over the world. Africa, the middle east.
China is literally doing this to the weager muslims right now.
@@dmc8706 Most people who repeat the mantra "never again" happily buy things made in China.
just some notes, the concentration camp there which was called plaszow (pronounced, `plashow") was built on top of what was a jewish cemetery. the factory that oskar schindler had was converted into a museum which has pictures and names of the folks that he helped. also the apartment that in that movie where liam is staying at, is actually oskar schindler's apartment where he stayed, seeing that the movie was filmed in krakow, poland.
I have not been able to watch this movie after the first time I saw it almost 30 years ago. I watched it again tonight with you, knowing it would be an emotional experience once again. Thanks for your bravery and your beautiful humanity.
I never saw Schindler’s list until about 2 years ago and it shook the shit out of me. It’s not an easy film to watch by any means.
I am Polish..lots of the Jews being killed were Polish ones..not to mention Polish Catholics that died as well. I have been to Aushwitz..once you been there you can never forget what happened...the movie was just a tip of the mountain when it comes to what happened during the war..
he lost most of his money to save them, not mentioning risking his own life getting caught saving them...... I think we can all agree that his picture could easily be under the term "heroic" in dictionary...... as a born czechoslovakian, I feel truly honored such iconic historical figure was born on our soil
And that is why he was awarded as Righteous Among the Nations and seen as a hero in Israel
He went bankrupt several times during his life after the war. Always there was a “Schindler Jew” or one of their family members to bail him out.
If you haven't seen The Hiding Place about Corrie ten Boom I recommend it! It's an older movie but very well done and based on the book and her life during this time.
Cassie, it took courage for you to watch this film in its entirety and post your reaction (suffering) for the world to see. As of the day I viewed this, you have over 355,000 views. Consider the number of people from your generation and younger people who are seeing the film for the 1st time because of your channel. God bless you.

My high school history teacher took my sophomore class on a field trip to see this movie in a theater. We were learning about WWII and the Holocaust, and I couldn't think of a better teaching tool than this film. I cried at the end; some other kids cried, too. To this day, everytime I see this movie, it makes me shed tears. And I had a good cry watching this review with you, lol

It may have been said in another comment, but the real Helen Hirsch was on set the first day. She saw Ralph Fiennes coming out of wardrobe and had a panic attack because he looked almost identical to the real Amon Goethe.

I don’t know if you’ve watched the movie “The Pianist” or not, but I highly recommend it. It is very similar to this movie, with equally dramatic and horrific scenes. In some ways, I appreciated it even more than this movie.
Agreed.
The German in that movie is based on a real man and the movies actually does him little justice considering all the people he also saved.
There is something to be said about the way Spielberg created a "villain" in Schindler's List. One could argue that a villain in this setting is inappropriate. Don't get me wrong, I believe Spielberg does it tactfully and without muddying the potentcy of this films message, but... there is something to be said about it.
I'd say, it's somewhat emotionally manipulative to focus on a specific individual. It draws attention away from the supplicancy of the many who were involved in following these heinous crimes. Obviously some are more responsible than others, as the orchestrators are the true reason these crimes were committed, but still... it'd probably be best not to have a villain type character at all, as it does twist the viewers perspective on where the responsibility for these crimes really lie.
The truth... is complicated.
good call. this movie (rightfully) gets all the attention but The Pianist is just as good.
Also traumatic😢
Something that's always stuck with me since first learning it: When survivor Mila Pfefferberg was introduced to Ralph Fiennes on the set, she began shaking uncontrollably, as he reminded her too much of the real Amon Goeth.

Cassie, just watched “ Schindler’s List” with you after not having seen it since back in the 1990s. Just as powerful (and heartbreaking) as it was on first viewing. Was happy to share the experience with you. As another commenter noted, your humanity was on full display throughout the film. Thank you for sharing.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke. Oskar Schindler is one of many who actually did something.
This was the 2nd time in 17 years I have allowed myself to watch this. I agree with you it was horrific and beautiful, it was to me the most important movie I have watched as well as the worst. The worst because it actually happened! it was horrific, I cried the whole way through, again, but we as human beings should never be allowed to forget. 435k plus views as I type this, all have had to see, remember.
I teach this history to older Jewish students, but I’m crying more watching you react to this than I did watching the movie when it came out.
I don't think I have ever watched one of your reactions before and we are perfect strangers to each other. But the mother in me wants to tell you that I am proud of you for having the bravery to watch this heart wrenching movie even when you had fears going in.
Schindler breaking down at the end because he 'could have got more' - makes me cry every single time.
You are such a humble person and the way you have put your words as a reaction indicates that. It is so nice. Pls never change that.

Raw and heavy film to watch, but that's how it should be, not to forget... Spielberg's masterful direction, the soundtracks, the black and white. If only one thinks that it really happened like this it is extremely sad
When a group of people decide that another group is responsible for all that they feel is wrong in their lives, all it takes is one fanatic to light the flames of their hatred. Suddenly they are not human. Once you dehumanize a group of people, nothing you do to them is wrong. This has happened throughout human history. Still happens today unfortunately…
“Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.”
We must painfully remember the atrocities of the past in order to end its reoccurrence.

We remember, yet it's still occurring. Remembering is not enough. We must teach.

In the 1990's, Steven Spielberg produced and directed three movies that each juxtapose the horrific villainy of some humans against the soaring heroism of others. Though their subjects and stories are unrelated, I believe they should view as a set; "Schindler's List", "Saving Private Ryan", and "Amistad". It was only the successes of the first two that allowed him to believe that the third movie was possible.
This is probably the most important movie ever made. It is painful to watch, but it is necessary. Spielberg and Kaminski are masters.

@Garrett McGinnis yup
I'v seen it five times I think, and my blood still gets cold with rage and despair when I see it now.
What a rollercoaster of emotions this movie is. Every time you watch it. Seeing your disbelief and desperation with the contents of the movie was heartbreaking, but nevertheless very much the appropriate reaction to these things.
The uncomfortable truth is, as crass as it is displayed in the movie, it was actually critizised for not displaying the atrocities as terrible enough. However, Raphy Fiennes apparently played Amon Göth (the SS Concentration-Camp controlling psychopath) so well, the actual consultors who witnessed him in real life got so scared they couldn't handle being next to him.
All of this is of course very depressing and saying things like "how could this be? How could people do this to each other?" is the typical reaction. One feels a kind of helplessness towards so much hate and terror and violence. Because we can't change the past. We can't change the atrocities committed. The only thing we can do, is prevent them in the future. That's why movies like this are important. To raise awareness for a problem, that sadly is not as much a thing of the past as we wish it was. We have to be wary of similar things happening in our time, because there will always be people trying to stir up hate, mostly to push their own agenda.
And the queston of "how?" is very essential for that. Like, how did this even work? How did they get people to just kill others in cold blood with nobody intervening? A complete answer is of course difficult and impossible to put into so little words, but there are two main components, that helped the nazis accomplish that goal:
First, there is dehumanization. You can see this for example when Amon Göth talks to his maid. Where he considers himself to be on a completely different level than her. That is, because he was indoctrinated for years to believe, that jews were lower than other humans. That they were actually not really like humans, but more like vermin. The nazis were actually very structured in that approach. However, of course one has to assume, that there is some level of preceding thought in that direction.
Second, there is the concept of the "Feindbild". And this is also an explanation of the "why?", as in "what did the nazis have to gain from this?". Of course this was to a large part based on simple hatred and a crooked ideology, but also the nazis used the concept of the Feindbild, to create a common enemy to rally against. This is basically what Feindbild means. It is a constructed image of a common enemy (Feindbild roughly translated from german means Enemy-Image). This image is very crude and simple and - as an essential component - all problems are blamed on that group of people. Having such a common enemy helps to unite the people and gives the party a strong base.
So if you ever encounter these two things: Dehumanization and construction of a Feindbild, be very very wary and watch out. Atrocities are just around the corner and could happen much faster than you could realize.
Always be watchful!
The scene with the children being loaded on the trucks gets me everytime.
