"Driving Miss Daisy," with Morgan Freeman, Jessica Tandy and Dan Aykroyd. Absolutely beautiful movie. Also, it's a low budget film that became famous.
That thing with this "patreons" organisation witch is a problem to me... not that I'm greedy NO, NO 😮 !
I'm French, handicaped, with two children to raise on my own.
Months are tight for bills and food.
Beeing asked for money to "participate" is impossible and always reminds me of the difficulties my children and I have to cope with as well as possible without loosing our pride.
That's all, I understand that "system" is important for you... But for some of your public it's a little frustrating, they just can't follow it.
Txs for reading me, I Hope you understood me, without any anger.
Just making a little point.
Thank you ❤.
@@louylau100but you don’t have to be apart of patreon, it’s not like you have to have it to watch every video ever? but yeah I get what you mean
Thanks Your for your understanding 🙂@@Space_Plays6259
God bless you both, for watching this important film. Xx
"I could have gotten more..."
That will never fail to make me cry.
Ya, gets me every time. This movie is good at bringing out ones empathy on others. You'd have to be sick to not be moved by this movie. I think.
When I saw this at the theater and Schindler breaks down with "I could have got one more", I could not stop crying myself. Powerful moment in film!
I was just there like don't doubt yourself you really an amazing thing already.... Please stop thank you....while crying
The little Polish girl in the red coat was 3 years old when she appeared in the film, and Spielberg asked her to promise not to watch the film until she was 18, but her parents let her see it when she was 11, and she said later that she was horrified and hated to be asked about the film. Today she is in her 30s and she has been volunteering at the Poland/Ukraine border to help Ukrainian war refugees.
Woww
Amazing. I am catholic Latino but I was taught at an early age about blacks on slave ships and Jews in the concentration camps and I immediately HATED brutal unnecessary hatred. To the point where I fantasized as a child/teen wanting to train and hunt racists down till the day I died. But that wouldn’t make me any different. Humans suck sometimes.
No one cares, ur commenting on a clearly dogshit channel.
And it didn't occur to her to go to Palestine?
Doubt it, she's Polish. She lives in Poland. The Ukraine border is right there.
Interviewing Spielberg, he explained: the child in the red coat being ignored was to symbolize the allies knowing about the genocide but refusing to divert resources to try to slow it happening.
When the child was exhumed and Schindler noticed, that was supposed to represent the pivotal moment he realised he had to act.
The "one more person" Schindler says at the end is a call back to this. Powerful movie.
On September 18th, Ken Burns has a new documentary on PBS. It's called The U.S. and the Holocaust. I've seen the preview. It looks like it addresses what Americans (at least government officials) knew about what the Nazis planned to do to the Jews during Hitler's rise to power--and did do to the Jews during World War II. It sounds like it also addresses what the U.S. could have done for the Jews before the war--like lifting immigration restrictions and granting entry visas. I plan to watch it and hope you will, too.
She's also based on a real girl Schindler saw, but otherwise than in the movie, her ultimate fate remains unknown, since he only saw her once when she was walking around being ignored.
Also the girl shows what caught Schindler's eye and how it caused his change.
The girl in the reed coat was a brilliant devise. In a film filled with so many murderers, most faceless victims, the girl in red becomes an individual. She stands for each individual killed. She exists as much for you the viewer's benefit as for Schindler's .
Very true. Also Schindler when he was on the hilltop watching the massacre he saw that little girl walking the street in her bright red coat. She did survive in real life unlike in the movie
On the 25th anniversary of the movie interview with Spielberg, he said the girl in red being ignored by everyone represented the Jews suffering ignored by the world. From intelligence reports, the Allies knew what was happening, yet they did nothing. They could have bombed the death and work camp or the railroad system that fed them. There would be some collateral damage of Jews being killed but at least it would have slowed down the killing. The camps were operational until the end of the war.
That's how I saw it as well. The point was to put a face on an otherwise statistic of deaths.
@@TheCoreyd1086 No she did not. I read the original book, which was originally called "Schindler's Ark". She was real and she is named in the book. She did not survive.
@@DawnSuttonfabfour Spielberg also said she was a metaphor in red... so the statement was true... she was supposed to represent a red flag... a symbol that this real and it was happening and nobody did anything to help stop it
A girl called Shoshana watching Schindler's List. Of course there are going to be tears.
Au revoir Shoshana!
Now I want them to watch Inglourious Basterds 🤔
@@Dene181 Why though ?

This is not just a movie, this is a monument. An important piece of history that we must never forget.
Funny how we must never forget this but how we tell ancestors of slavery to get over it ... none of you were ever slaves.......
@@bigh3431 Thank you. I looked in the rifle of a Belgian farmer, aged 87, in the 80s as a German Boy scout. With 14 years!
He believed HY would be coming the second time.
I learned a year of French, so I immediately took down my jacket, because it disgusted him.
Her daughter shouted, my female leader shouted to take up the jacket again.
Oh nevermind, born in the 70s we never had a problem with the WW II as a german here.
Never been called a nazi, or a war loser from a American pupil I diot, or we have too be either guilty or grateful. Beautiful growing up! 😊
All was easy peasy like above.
If you never been to Dachau as a part of your school educating stop this wise bollocks.
Thx!
@@horscanigunger5098 Waaaah waaaah.... if you've never been to the slave holding cells on the Ivory Coast as a college sophomore trip, or the slave cabins in the plantations of South Georgia and Mississippi... then I suggest you do so and stop with all the whoa is me of the ww2 hoopla... atrocities you've not seen anything comparable to the torture of the black man in the world...
This film is good but its manipulating so far. This movie shows thats only jews was dying in death camps but its not true. Most of that people was poles!
@@bigh3431 every race on the planet has enslaved each other, and your completly wrong back when the holy land was called Judea(Land of the Jews) the were invaded by the roman empire and like anyone who was conquered by the romans the Jewish people were slaughtered subjugated and enslaved millions were sent back to italy to work as slaves the romans did this also to the Arabs, Africans, Gauls (French) Britons(British)The Greeks, The iberian people(Spanish)and many more all were slaughtered and enslaved by the Romans, thats no to excuse the Trans Atlantic slave trade what my ancestors did to yours is nothing short of pure evil and i know nothing i do or say will ever get rid of that, just remember human history is more then just the last 600 years it wouldn't hurt you to pick up a book bro.
Just so you know Schindlers survivors said Amon Goeth was actually far worse than what they are even showing here. Also one of them collapsed when first meeting the actor who played him while he was in uniform because she said he looked just like him and she had a panic attack. A powerful movie that you really can only watch once but everyone should see for sure.
Lord voldemort being evil again
@@vincentavery6598 - Actually, Amon Goeth is the role that got Ralph Fiennes cast as Voldemort.
@@ChienaAvtzon that doesn't surprise me. He also said people didnt like his role in Maid in Manhatten because he came off like a serial killer lol. Man definetely has a typecast. Which is funny watching him in Grand Budapest Hotel coming off completely different.
Also let's not forget Ben Kingsley if u watched shutter island he's the opposite of this great actor tbf
@@dlmdee No I dont at all. What do you mean? The Holocaust? Surely you dont mean to sound so stupid?
The victims of the Holocaust deserve to be remembered. But its heroes should also deserve to be remembered. Never forget the Righteous Among The Nations.
what should have never be forgotten was henry ford book about the jews.. if you read slight about the talmud you would understand why the nazi and a lot of other people hates jews so much..
Vince interpreted the meaning of the Girl in the Red Coat correctly. According to Steven Spielberg, she represented Schindler’s conscious and change in ideology. However, she was inspired by an actual Jewish girl who lived in the ghetto. My father has a friend, who’s father in law’s name was on the list. He was a teenager during WWII, and kept in touch with Schindler after the war.
This film is Spielberg’s magnum opus and a masterclass of filmmaking. Every detail, from the costume and set designs to the camera angles, was meticulously crafted. That it was shot in black-and-white lends to the film’s timelessness, and even makes it feel like a documentary.
PS: two of my aunts have fathers in law who were save from Lithuania by Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat.
One of the greatest movies ever made about one of the worst moments in human history. Truly a masterpiece and captures how evil the Nazi regime was.
@@dlmdee This happened asshole. What are you saying all those Jews were never murdered? You are truly awful.
@@dlmdee flagging this for hate speech.
@@alexamerling79 What did the comment say? Some pro Nazi crap?
@IG Farben IG Farben? You chose the name of the company that made Zyklon B. Yeah ... i'll just assume you are the same shitty breed as the person who wrote that by now deleted hate speech comment.
The movie doesn't capture even a small fraction of how evil the Nazi regime was. It was much much much worse. There are no words or images that can express the horrors of the holocaust.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" - This story imbodies this quote to the fullest
That is only half of it. The other half is that you don't have to be good to do good.
Most people are good but don't stand up or speak up against their neighbours atacking minorities.
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_...
Nazi extermination camps is what happens, when decent folks don't speak up against their neighbours, when they speak hatred against blacks, muslims, gays, communists, etc.
@@zedaadega7420 Most people who are good are good because they were taught to be good by their parents and society. If you leave a child to raise themselves without direction our nature is not to become good. Good is something with which we need constant reinforcement.
Don't forget while industrial genocide was perfected in all its horror by Germany....the Soviet Union was in the midst of its own genocidal purge and there would be no VE-day for those victims.
1977 Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said in a speech he gave at Harvard concerning the direction of Western culture:
"That is, freedom was given to the individual conditionally, in the assumption of his constant religious responsibility."
"All the glorified technological achievements of Progress, including the conquest of outer space, do not redeem the 20th century's moral poverty which no one could imagine even as late as in the 19th Century."
"There is a disaster, however, which has already been under way for quite some time. I am referring to the calamity of a despiritualized and irreligious humanistic consciousness."
And of course:
"When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age; we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations. It is for this reason and not because of the weakness of indoctrinational work that they are growing up indifferent. Young people are aquiring the conviction that foul deeds are
never punished on earth that they always bring prosperity."
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
@@TangieTown81 Thank you for the Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn quotes. I was listening to the audiobook of The Gulag Archipelago. Though it is mostly consistent of anecdotal stories from numerous individuals, I could see the parallel conditioning of society we are seeing today in America and the Western World. Very, and unfortunately, soon the West will have its turn with sociopolitical authoritarian oppression and genocide. There is way too much complacency, willful ignorance, and cowardice to change the course. Unless a miracle happens, it is inevitable...
@@SirMattomaton We have been in the midst of a genocide 63 million babies have been murdered in the womb since 1973.....just as we judge past instances of devaluation of human life and mass murder so will future generations look back on our unforgiving brutality.
I was in 11th grade, and my entire grade went to the movies to watch this film. There was not a dry eye in the theatre! Even the boys who were "tough" were crying. I had a lot of friends who were Jewish, and I met their grandparents who had the numbers on their arms. I was in 4th grade, and my friend's grandmother spoke to me about her time in one of the camps, where she was my age. She lost most of her family there, and I remember feeling shocked, almost disbelief that people could treat each other this way. I have not watched this movie in years, and as I watched this video, I remembered why- the heavy heart and anger. I am still crying as I write this.
I cried openly for a few minutes after this film concluded... I already knew much of the history. But seeing this in movie form was formative to say the least. EVERYONE should watch this film. So that all DECENT people can be thus affected to NEVER allow human beings they come in contact with to be treated in such a way. Good people that see Schindler's List. Speak out against demagoguary and racism and genocide. As it SHOULD be for all people. God Bless You and your righteous anger. May we all use our righeous anger to spread love not hate. Peace
Vince killed it with the reason the little girl in the red dress was spot on. He wanted to save her a million times.
Don’t get rid of your man. He was constantly look at you during this emotionally charged movie. He knew that this was going to hit you hard and he was watching over you the whole time. That is what you call a keeper. This man is all about you. This movie should be required viewing at every school.
In germany it is. For good reasons.
Also in Norway. 8th grade I believe :)
I don't know....he said he "came so close to crying"....if you can get through this entire movie and not cry it speaks to some deep pathology.....the looking at her during emotional points could be him studying what a normal emotional response is and trying some of those facial cues out.....I'm just saying sociopaths come in all shapes, colors and sizes.....to "almost cry" throughout this movie indicates a detachment from empathy that suggest something pathological.
@@TangieTown81 wow
@@schnubbel76 I agree....don't make such asinine assumptions and we don't have to debate this type of thing....you know Jeffrey Dohmer found Jesus while he was on death row which was great.....everything that happened before that is still horrific. If you can sit through 3 hours of a story of struggle and perseverance during man's ultimate inhumanity to man and be so detached that you aren't capable of summoning tears then there is some psychological issue that needs to be addressed.....that's all.
They took the teeth out for the Gold. It's hard to tell the difference between Silver & Gold when the movie is black & white (which was purposely done for the mood of the film), but it was the Gold fillings they wanted to melt down. This was one of the most endearing, awesome movies ever. Liam Neeson was perfect as Schindler.
This can all happen again is what should concern ALL of us.
One of the most powerful movies in history. I've watched many reactions to this and am shocked several had no idea this actually happened.
Never forget.
The Oct 7th attack shows that the hatred and evil is still around. The worse part of Oct 7 is that it 'inspired' the college campus revolts and how people dont learn from history as evil repeats itself.
Some years ago I visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. The building has a corridor leading from one area to another and on the walls, etched in glass, are hundreds and hundreds of names. You look closer at the names and you realize these are the names of towns and villages that were totally erased. I’ve seen this movie several times and I’ve seen probably hundreds of reactions to it, and every single time it gets to me. When you choked up so did I.
Blessings to you for your love and your remembrance.
The room with all the shoes is the one that broke me. Just hundreds (potentially thousands) of pairs of shoes in a giant pile. And that isn't even a fraction of those lost
a survivor named Mila Pfefferberg was introduced to Ralph Fiennes (the man who played Amon Goeth) on the set. She began shaking uncontrollably as he reminded her too much of the real Amon Goeth.
The thing about what happened there, it repeated itself in the 90s in the Balkans war in Yugoslavia, we didn’t learn from this....
I suggest you watch the film “ Welcome to Sarajevo “ , very haunting....
Can I just say, Shoshana... Vince is a good man,
Throughout the film he could feel your pain without looking at you.
He looks at you with love in his eyes and heart.
You are a perfect couple.
Oh, by the way, powerful reaction also!
You have gained a sub from Oxford, UK. Love and regards
Vince is indeed a good man, Shoshana. In fact, if you two watch 12 Years a Slave (which I strongly recommend you do), I'm sure he will need and be thankful for a kind and compassionate woman like you by his side.
Definitely… my husband was born into a civil war and famine.. The feeling in my heart when I see cinematic depiction of THAT, I see mirrored in Vince’s face.
Shoshana are you Jewish? I'm Massianic Jewish myself...
I’m never sure what amazes me more… how beyond-words amazing Ralph Fiennes’ acting is…….. or the fact that the real Amon Goeth was SO MUCH WORSE than even portrayed here. That monster had no soul.
That's always the case when an actor has to portray someone in history who was probably worse than what he performs on the screen that's always been the case...
so you knew that person personally
I read the Ralph Fiennes met Helen Hirsch while filming the movie wearing us Amon Uniform and Helen bless her started shaking uncontrollably
@@mastixencounter there are interviews here on UA-cam with Goeths granddaughter who meets one of his victims.
Goeth was so nuts that he was arrested by the Nazis for cruelty of prisoners under his care and he was stripped of rank and fired from the SS eventually.
At the end of the movie they say the poles found him at a sanitarium that he was locked up in by the Nazis because they deemed him to be insane.
That's right even other Nazis thought he was a lunatic that is really saying something.
Gilberto Bosques was a Mexican ambassador in the 40's. He saved over 40 times more people than Schindler, by giving them visas and mexican citizenships.
He doesn't have a movie, but in 2014 they made a play about his humanitarian mission called "As Many as You Can".
It's just great to know about all these amazing and yet sandly unknown heroes, who stood up against one of humanity's greatest evils.
I've been to Auschwitz and other camps with our rabbi, our guide asked us "What do you expect to feel?" We froze and looked at her speechless, she said there's nothing left here, it's a museum, Miriam a survivor from Auschwitz told us "You see the grass? When we were here, it's all mud, because people ate it. We entered a gas chamber which is intact, when we saw the scratch marks and the blue stains from the gas on the wall, we sat and our rabbi started to pray kaddish, we were broken, we couldn't stop our tears for minutes. I wish every human being to go visit there. You know why? Because people forget and there are millions and billions of people (even Jews) who are unaware of the atrocities and murder perpetrated by the nazis...
that's why I think "Dancing Auschwitz" (which is still on UA-cam) was powerful.
(which featured a then 89-year old survivor of that death camp and some of his family dancing in Auschwitz to the music of Gloria Gaynor's "I will survive")
You are right. People should NOT forget. If history isn’t taught….isn’t explained….isn’t felt…the future generations will end up repeating the same horrific acts
We MUST remember. We MUST be moved. We HAVE to feel. I am so grateful my children won’t have to live through those things….but I want them to be extremely aware of what happened and why.
Yes I do know about holocaust i have read abt out and have also watched documentaries on the same 4-6 million Jews were murdered by nazis...... But i will suggest you to also read abt gulag massacre, Chinese nanzing massacre and the massacre committed by USA and it's allies.......... I come from India where hindus are in majority, over the last millennium hindus have been the most persecuted community throughout this entire world...... massacred in much much more numbers as compared to the Jews but irony here is that nobody knows abt it....... 😊
I've never been to any of the holocaust sites, but have visited some of the sites of the Khmer Rouge atrocities in Cambodia. I was ok until I went into a hall of photos. One side was victims, one side were the guards. The victims had me in tears. The (children) who were used as guards and torturers was too much and I had to leave. Spent the rest of the day shaken, and shocked. A Cambodian friend who grew up in the collective farms/camps told me the Tor Sleng museum was nothing. He spent a couple hours telling me stories. I was changed. Hopefully for the better.
What bout bosnia massacre
Before our education on ww2 and the holocaust starts in the uk, parents are given a chance to opt out of their kids seeing the footage and pictures. My dad told he he was really sorry that I was going to see horrible things but he was insistant that I DO see it. He told me at the very least the victims deserved remembrance and he was right, as much as it hurt me, I'm glad now I saw it.
23:20 ......To me, this is the most devastating part of the movie.... I'm not talking about the graves or the firing corpses.... I'm talking about THAT conveyer belt.....THAT conveyer belt it's the very definition of systematic organized extermination..... I'm not an easy to impress person, I watched this movie many many times, and every time, that conveyer belt shivers down a chill through my spine....
This is a masterpiece film and I think Spielberg's best. He said he made Schindler's List for his mom and Saving Private Ryan for his dad.
I saw this movie at its premier in Hungary (a country that was also heavily affected by Holocaust). I remember when I came out of the movie theatre and I was literally speechless for hours. Even though I learned so much about what had happened, it still paralyzed me. And even though there have been a lot of other movies released about this subject since and before this movie, I firmly believe that the significance of Spielberg's work will always be utmost from artistic, historical and memorial point of view, too.
I don't think any film affected me as much as this film the first time I saw it in a movie theater. Like you it stayed with me for many hours . The big problem is - that - many young people have no idea about The Holocaust , so it would seem that mankind is condemned to - not - learn from the past . Already , in the United States we are on that same road that Hitler took .
@@hovawartfreunde4599 I understand you and I take it absolutely no offense. Especially because I 100% agree with you. Honestly, I'm quite sad and ashamed. Even if I take every legal opportunity to protest against the current political agenda, I still feel bad for seeing the path my country has stepped on since quite a while.
The only thing that keeps our government away from leading this country into a severe and literal autocracy is our EU membership. However this is a fragile barrier, knowing how strong alliances they tend to build with the worst dictatorships in the world.
I can only hope that history will never repeat itself because the least thing I would like is to witness the past we've once left behind us.
Keszerem. Van München. 😔
@@hovawartfreunde4599 same goes for the Netherlands, Canada, Germany and many other, soon to be totalitarian countries
I read that there was a survivor that consulted on the film. She was actually there in real life. She said that the realism in the film was accurate. She said that the actor that played Amon Göth looked so much like the real guy in his costume, it freaked her out. That’s really something. Obviously going through the horrors that the film masterfully depicts, left such a wound on her that all those years later, it still left her with an unbelievable amount of trauma and pain. I hope that generations ahead never forget the horrors that these people endured at the hands of the Nazis and communists.
That was Helen Hirsh. She said Ralph Fiennes is really a sweet guy, but when she first saw him in his Nazi Uniform, she thought Amon Goeth had com back from the dead. She added that Fiennes looked so much like Goeth--and portrayed him to a T.
@@greggthompson959 was also said the Goeth was toned down a little, because he was literally cartoonishly evil.
@@dlmdee based on true events
@@dlmdee Tell that to the real-life Schindler Jews, depicted in the last scene with the actors who portrayed them, who lost so many loved ones and went through hell during that terrible time!
@IG Farben Um, yeah, it is. Next.
This movie is probably the most powerful movie in the sence that it can really bring out ones empathy on others. You'd have to be sick to not be moved by this movie. That's how well done it is.
You should watch The Pianist as well. Both powerful films of dreadful times.
This is an amazing story. I've watched many reactors watch this movie, and they all get moved, but you're the first Jewish person I've watched react to this movie. I have no idea how emotional this must have been for you.
Liam Neeson spent the 2010s making box office action flicks that aren't too good. But I like to think that having made movies like Schindler's List, the cinematic equivalent of the Super Bowl (its a masterpiece) he's allowed to take cheese roles just for the money. He certainly earned his keep with Schindler's List.
After tragically losing the love of his life, his wife, I think he didn't like going to certain emotional places as an actor. I think he took roles that allowed him to still get out of bed, do the work and be emotionally available to his remaining family/kids.
Later he's gone back in to some more character driven stuff.
@@theConquerersMama I didn't know that about him wife. The dude deserves to have fun and make some money for hia family. Thanks!
The verse from the Talmud, "he who saves one life saves the world entire" brings me to tears every time. So beautiful.
Amon Goeth's real granddaughter, Jennifer Teege, is biracial. She's written a book called "My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me". It's a great read and available from Amazon.
Wow
Watching a fellow Jewish woman like Shoshana reacting to this and Band of Brothers is absolutely and utterly amazing for me. I feel everything she reacts to in my gut the same way that she does. Y'all are both awesome and I am glad I found your channel. When money isn't so tight for me I'll absolutely be supporting you both as much as I possibly can on Patreon. keep up the awesome work.
36:52 you nailed it, that was it. Loved both your reaction, I must say it was more beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time to see a Jewish woman reacting to this. Thank you.
A supposed conversation between John Williams and Spielberg when he saw a rough cut, “I really think you need a better composer than I am for this film.” Spielberg said, ‘I know, but they’re all dead.”
I love the opening how it transitions from color to black & white, and the last of color is from the candle.
The character arc in this movie is amazing. At the beginning Schindler and Goeth are about at same place morally. Goeth descends into absolute evil. Schindler slowly begins to climb towards redemption.
For my wife and I the last few minutes with the survivors allowed us to keep our sanity.
If you remember in BOB when Lipton and Luz were in a foxhole that was hit by a dud shell, think that it was some Jewish person in a slave labor camp that, at the risk of their own life, sabotaged the fuse.
It’s definitely an amazing character arc… Unless there’s something historically I don’t know though, I never took Schindler as being truly evil…. An opportunist, and maybe a comparably shitty husband… he WAS apparently ok with a pretty egregious degree of injustice as is shown in the ghetto scene. Definitely not a good person.
But Goeth had no conscience…. no soul. I don’t recommend Googling him, but he did things that were much worse than depicted here, bc he enjoyed watching human beings suffer.
I don’t know when I cried more, the first time I watched this movie, or watching this girl react to it. My heart goes to you, and those who lost a loved one during this dark times. Beautiful reaction. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You can tell from the ending scene that most of the scenes in the movie, the man who pretended to be stacking bags for the SS, the piano playing while they were clearing out the ghetto, the killing of the structural engineer, the man who they tried to shoot several times but the the gun kept jamming, the boy in the outhouse, etc. were all true stories told by the survivors.
You should follow this one up with one for the other side of your marriage. I am specifically speaking of another Spielberg masterpiece, this time about the horrors of the US slave trade called AMISTAD. It too is a true story. And it will evoke much the same response.
One of my favorites. It's really a underappreciated movie.
Munich movie is also a Spielberg masterpiece and it is also based on a true event which is the perfect companion piece to Schindler's List.
or in cases they don't want to watch yet another Spielberg film (but keep that idea of a biography) maybe Spike Lees "Malcom X"?
Gratitude for this very moving and heart-felt reaction. Peace &Love to you both!
The Pianist next! Masterpiece.
Real story about what was it like to try survive as Jewish in occupied territory if you didn't end up on camps.
Do you know about sir Nicholas Winton? He saved hundreds of Jewish children and there’s an amazing video of him meeting the descendents in the 80s I believe. Amazing.
agree
There is also a docudrama called Nicky's children (I think)
You were one thousand percent right!! The little girl did signify his realization that he just stood by and could have done just a little more to save her and them!
I'll never get tired of this movie, or reaction videos to it. The most powerful movie I've ever seen.
An interesting story re Amon Goth, the woman he was with in this movie was his mistress, she had a daughter with him and even changed her surname to his name after he was executed. Her daughter grew up and had a relationship with a Nigerian man producing a daughter. Could you just imagine how that would have gone down with Amon if he knew.
His grand daughter wandered into a library one day and picked up a book that sparked her interest, there was a picture of her grandmother inside (the woman with Amon who says ‘’make coffee”). The grand daughter could not understand why her grandmother, somebody who was kind, loving and accepting of her, was in this book until she realised that Amon was her grandfather.
You both once again did a great movie reaction video. You both reminded me of the first time I saw this long ago. Good job keep it up
Thank you SO much for keeping this film and, more importantly the lessons and messages of this film, ALIVE..
I saw this in theaters in the 90's when released it was the most powerful movie I've ever seen and has impacted me to this day
Not always a fan of reaction channels but I feel you guys are really well connected, a lot of empathy, and you come across as very likeable. So that is why I watch.
First time I saw this movie was in Highschool for an AP history class. I was holding back tears for the last 10 minutes of the film. At the end the teacher turned the lights on and asked the class, "Well, what do you think?" My tears all exploded out and I couldn't control myself. I Said, "I kept hearing my name." My last name is Horowitz. My all time favorite film.
That little girl almost made my younger brother leave the theatre when we went to see the movie. She looked so much like our little niece. You two are amazing and a beautiful loving couple. I Love watching your reactions. ♥️
This is one of the greatest examples of cinematography, I thought that when I was 12 when I went with my grandparents to see it the week after it opened.
I saw this in the theater and I distinctly remember that I had planned on seeing something else but I arrived late and decided to see this instead. I knew nothing about Schindler (this was pre-google) and had never heard of the film. I bought a ticket only because I saw that Spielberg directed it. I walked in skeptical and 3 hours later walked out, forever changed.
Ben Kingsley nailed his roll and deserved his Oscar. Liam Neeson didn't win an Oscar for this. That should be a crime.
He didn't? Wow.
Amon Gothe was the epitome of evil. You should check out the book "'My Grandfather would have shot me ". A German woman was in her late thirties when she discovered that Gothe was her Grandfather. Her mother was German and her father Nigerian. She had been given up for adoption. After high school she studied in Paris where she became friends with an Israeli woman. She accepted an invitation from her friend to visit Israel. While visiting she got in a relationship and actually studied there and learned Hebrew. Eventually she returned to Germany where she got married and became a mother. One day after dropping the kids at school she went to the library. While browsing in the stacks she noticed a book that a cryptic along the lines having to love one's father.It was about the daughter of Amon Gothe. As she looked thought the book there pictures of this daughter and her mother. These pictures this woman realized were of her biological mother and Grandmother. It was devastating for this biracial women to realize she was related Goeth.
This is a brilliant film. One of the things I love about the ending (showing the Schindler Jews today) is that it's a reminder that this all happened not very long ago and that we should beware of it not repeating itself
Winner of 7 Oscars including Best Picture. The most important and most powerful motion picture ever made.
Love this reaction. Thank you. Such a powerful movie. People can never forget how dreadful true evil can be.
When I saw this pop up I knew it would have to be emotionally ready to watch your reaction video and that’s one of the few films that gets me wrecked everytime
You were absolutely right about the girl in red in your end commentary! Great job following what was going on. 1st time watching your channel. ....Great review. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
Thanks for this video! I think you are doing a very important job in making young people understand history. We must never forget !
I also recommend watching the 2001 movie called Uprising about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising where the Jews in the ghetto fought back against the Nazi’s.
Just an another fact related to this movie. There's also one guy just like schindlers who also help the jews. His name is Manuel Quezon, who was the president of the philippines that time. Despite of having a Lethal Crisis in his own country after the japanese invaded and destroyed everything to his country Manuel boldly took a stand against hitler and save hundreds of jews. And there is actually a documentary about it. You might also want to react to it.😇 titled - "An Open Door:jewish rescue to the philippines.
Another unsung hero who provided thousands of Jews with travel documents against orders was Portuguese diplomat Aristides de Sousa Mendes. He suffered severe reprisals for doing so.
First time on this channel. I’m subscribing not for the content, but because you both seem like genuinely good people who care about each other. It’s hard to find that.
In re: the girl in red. I think you're right on in your interpretation and I've always thought so as well. Beautiful reaction. All the best.
My great great grandfather fought for the Soviets against the Nazis’s, he never talked about the war much as it’s too traumatising, he saw a lot of nazis and won medals for bravery. I also have aunt sectors who escaped Concentration camps. Without the soviets, we would still be ruled by nazis’s right now, never change history. This movies makes me cry each time I watch it, I even feel uncomfortable watching certain scenes.
I’m glad you’re reacting to movies as well. I’ve lie lowed on my demon slayer comments because i encountered a rude commenter but glad you’re reacting to movies too! This movie introduced me to how talented ralph fiennes and liam neeson are!
You should also check out the movie "Swing Kids" which is about the teenage resistance movement within the youth of Nazi Germany. It was released 1993 and features a very young Christian Bale.
My dad is Jewish but I was never raised Jewish. First time i watched this movie I had to stop a few times to collect myself. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE should see this film once.
Another film you should see is the Hallmark' Hall of Fame 2009 movie "The Courgeous Heart of Irina Sendler" which is about a young Polish social worker who saved over 2,500 Jewish children from outside and inside the Warsaw Ghetto.
Great vid guys, keep up the awesome content 👍
That whole 'I could have got one more person' scene.......
Very important film. I saw this at a young age and it has stuck with me ever since.
This movie is a masterpiece. If you watch this with your children, prepare ahead of time. They will have serious questions. Do your research. The scariest moment that a child has is realizing that no one is in charge, and that everyone is vulnerable to extremely dangerous insanity. I figured it out in 4th grade. It was a rough year.
This movie was for many pupils in Germany and Austria a must visit to the movies in the 90s. Everytime I watch this movie or just parts of it or reactions to it it makes me cry. Since WWII we all know what humans can do to other humans. And yet it continued to happen: Former Yugoslavia, Somalia and so on. I have studied the Third Reich extensively when I attended School and tried to analize and understand our past. But this was not enough. If you truly want to understand Antisemitism and Racism you need to look way further back in time.
Should also add recommendations for the 2002 movie The Pianist and the 2020 movie Resistance. Both excellent movies on this tragic event in history.
The Pianist is another great film. Adrien Brody's greatest film.
As someone who has a family member who is alive and survived Aushwitz and other camps, thank you 🙏 . A lot of people do not truly realize the scale of Jewish prosecution across the world during that time and throughout history
Why have Jews been faced with prosecution throughout history? What do they keep on doing that leads them to be prosecuted?
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you for sharing your reaction. The authenticity of this movie is incredible. I read online that when the real Mila Phfererg (I'm sorry it I misspelled it) Saw Ralph Fiennes, she could not stop shaking. She told Stephen later that he looked exactly like Goert.
I've seen this dozens of times (I'm Jewish) and I will never not cry each time that I see it.
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.
Thank you for your reaction and background infos about the prayers. Did you notice how the little girl in the red coat and the candles of prayer were the only colour in the movie? My parents watched it with us when I was 9. I was far too young and couldn't really get it all. I hope you will be able to visit the camps one day. The place were Anne Frank and Margot died is not too far from my families home town. It was so weird when I first realized that. We were coming home from a weekend trip and drove through many beautiful villages and it is near a country road with wonderful old trees. And then you freeze because you see the name of the area and realize that in such a peaceful place this happened.
The part with the kids in the trucks gets me every time I watch this film, because you know what would've happened to them.
My Godparents survived in similar fashion. My Godfather was ‘permitted’ to work on tanks/tank parts. My Godmother, for whom I am named, spoke at times of some of the atrocities they personally witnessed- tho I’ve always felt she kept the worst buried within, to spare us. Hard to imagine a ‘worse’ w what she did share😔🥺
After the war they immigrated to America. My Godfather went on to invent, create, & patent many many things, some which are used daily around the globe even to this day. At times I imagine the descendants of their torturers using them and think: Redemption… with grace.
They remained incredibly grateful all the days of their lives for the opportunities they felt America afforded them.
Strong, resilient people… and I’m not just speaking of my Godparents!🙏🏼♥️
Beautiful reaction; blessings to you both.
Stay safe & love much💖
I tried to share some w you, but it was deleted. SMH. & scary…
I agree with you 100% on the little girl. Great reaction, guys. Thanks.
Beautiful reaction guys, to a beautiful film about man’s inhumanity to man. Why do we never learn? Thanks guys! Cx
If you want to know what happened to one young man from Cracow who escaped the Nazis, read 'My Life in the Red Army,' by Fred Virski. He ran away to the east, and joined the Soviets, and went from disaster to disaster with them. When it looked like the NKVD wanted to capture and kill him, he escaped to Usbekistan, and joined free Polish soldiers under command of the British. Even if he is just one young man, it is good to read the story of one who escaped the Nazis.
I went to Auschwitz in 2018 as part of a Contiki tour. It changed my life. Birkenau is actually the place in the film where they "perfected" the mass murder, Ill never forget seeing it and I broke down crying. From that day on, I try my best to live my life as best as possible.
The first time I saw it was on regular TV. They announced extreme violence and that there would be no commercials, just a five minute intermission.
I knew it was a holocaust movie and won up teen awards but I wasn’t ready. I was shocked when the engineer woman was shot. The Auschwicz shower scene was highly disturbing. The Gothe scene where he shot every other prisoner really happened, as was testified a nub survived in the book.
Maybe the best acting job of all time between Finnes and Neeson. I’m partial to Neeson bc I’m Irish and he is in the whole movie.
However you know you’ve just seen an amazing acting job, one of the best ever, when you realize how much I hate, hate, hate, hate Finnes. Then I have to stop myself and remember he’s playing a role.
The real Gothe had a long Nazi Resume before he even got to Poland.
Basically he was always an asshole.
The person who put the rose down was Liam Neeson.
It was really heart touching guys 😭❤
69 year old British army veteran and I tear up when I think about this movie. This is what I was a soldier for. To prevent this shit. So sad that the world has, seemingly, forgotten the lessons of the past. Fascism is evil. This movie shows where prejudice and populism leads.
Someday, when you two have recovered from watching this, you should check out another amazing movie based on the Holocaust. In 2001 HBO made a film called Conspiracy covering the January 1942 Wannsee Conference, where officials of the Nazi Reich met to plan the actual processes of the Final Solution. The film starred Kenneth Branagh, Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth...among others. ✌💯
It is a well done film. I have watched it several times obsessively; I'm not sure why. The acting is spectacular, certainly, and everything that is said is horrifying. You'd think once would be enough...
@@kschneyer Well, for me, it is something I tend to feel the need to watch about every ten years...just to remind myself of the chilling tone of how Heydrich and the rest carried out their work. ✌
this one is guaranteed to make anyone cry I think , one of the greatest representations of what went on and shows how nasty human beings can really be , o and also how great some other human beings can be :) sorry had to add that it was all doom and gloom ! but you always gotta take some good out of bad situations
Was in Warsaw in 2012, visited where the ghetto was. Now everything is rebuilt and resurfaced. There was a building being renovated and the original walls were exposed, I crossed the construction barrier and went and touch the bricks that have seen this horror so many years ago. I am glad to have been able to touch bricks that have seen that history. French-canadian Christian here... cheers !
My heart breaks for anyone that has to watch this for the first time. Nevertheless....... it is a HUGE, and MONUMENTAL experience all kids should experience..... just to feel the sheer weight and disbelievability of it all and that this crazy shit DID happen less than 100 years in current time. Take caution young viewers, else your generation and future generations will undoubtedly end up reliving these horrors again, all the while, trying to dismiss them away as "normal" and "expected" behavior during wartime exchange! Take care for your future!

We use the term ‘horror movie’ to describe when Freddy or Jason are on screen but after watching this that term broadened for me. A truly horrific film recounting the horrors we are capable of as a species. Nonetheless an incredibly important film that everyone should watch at least once because as the saying goes ‘Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it’.
A beautifull reaction to the film. It was like watching over again with new eyes.
The end of that movie when Shindler breaks down and said he could have gotten more gets me every time. Everybody should have to watch this in school. Another good movie with the same overall theme is the Pianist. If you get a chance you might want to check that out too.
You're right, everybody should have to watch this movie in school and especially the Holocaust deniers.
