The part that said that Schlinder’s marriage and business, failed apart after the war. That truly breaks my heart. He suffered from a horrible case of PTSD and was riddled with guilt. No one can’t expect a person who has experienced so much trauma, to continue their life as if nothing happened.
his marriage and businesses all failed, I'm afraid. He did manage to keep things afloat throughout his life, however, through the many gifts he got from the Jewish families he saved.
The execution of Amon Göth has always, to me, been a great example of great film making. The men in the background, the somewhat shaky camera, the chair that won't budge at first...looks very realistic and authentic.
I heard that it took several attempts to hang Geoth. Even the scene shows the soldier's struggling to let him get hanged. Just goes to show how cruel the man was, not even Death wanted him.
That one that you were talking about wasn’t Goeth it was another SS officer named Ludwig Fischer who was also executed at Krakow it took 3 attempts to hang him. The way Amon Goeth was executed in the movie was more or less how it played out in real life
What surprised me the most (and I don’t know if it really happened or if it was just for the movie) but that even one of the most cruel and psychotic people still can have a heart. The scene were Oscar tries to “buy” the girl and that he would not do it. He thought it was better to shoot her in the head then to let her suffer the train ride to the camp and being killed in the gas chamber.
When the scene changes from B&W to color, and the real-life survivors materialize alongside the actors and actresses playing them, I just lose it. I cannot help myself. The tears pour out of me, and I can't stop them.
The scene switches from black and white to colour to imply that the darkest chapters of history has finally ended. Just my personal opinion though. I think it is interesting. Edit: My point was regarding the film and the film alone. Obviously difficult things had happened in real life but they had no bearing on the story told in the film. I would not have made the statement in another film where this was not the final scene As Orson Welles allegedly said, the difference between a happy ending and a sad one is just where one chooses to end the story
Depends on whose side you take. Your choice. You want to take the side of the enemies of Israel - totally your choice. You are entitled to your own opinion.
"Isn't that a town over there?" I think refers to Jerusalem and the establishment of Israel as an asylum from war scarred Europe after the war. That scene and the subsequent walking that leads into them arriving at the Schindler burial site represents the Jews going to Israel. I have zero Jewish ancestry....but they without a doubt some of the most resilient people in our human history
I think it was more 'You're free now, go get your own food, you don't have to rely on others now'. They were so used to being told to come, go, stay, eat, march, work etc etc that the idea of just walking out and getting their own food was incomprehensible to them.
Richard Nixon "i wouldn't go east, thats for sure, they hate you there. i wouldn't go west either. "we could use some food" "is5nt there a town over there? *points east*" lol its clear this guy doesn't wanna feed them.
“Don’t go east, they hate you there.” The fact that it’s a Soviet officer saying that is interesting. EDIT: Literally everyone missed the point of this comment lol. I’m saying that it’s interesting that a Soviet officer is warning them about the antisemitism in the USSR.
@Tina Yael Severinovna M. with east he meant eastern europe (poland, belarus, ukraine, etc) Not the middle east. Btw: in the german version the Officer said "We hate you there, too!"
almost twenty years after I saw this movie, I still so clearly remember my reaction to its ending. i cried hard in the movie theatre, then went outside, and just stood leaning against a wall, and continued to cry. a man stood opposite of me, also leaning against a wall, just looking at me with such sympathy. not a word was spoken between us, nor did it need to be. after a few minutes, i walked away

"are there any Jews left" when the guy just gave the stare it seems as if he was saying with his facial expressions that "poor soul I don't want to tell him that majority of them have been killed"
The Soviet said nothing because that’s the wrong question to ask a Soviet. They lost more men than any nation in the conflict. 27 million died. You don’t want to ask a Soviet that question because what can he say? He’s probably seen everyone of his friends and family die.
I like when they're hanging Goeth after kicking the stool out the other gaurd joins in to break it, and then after it finally breaks the first one just walks away without a care lol
“It grows there still.” I don’t know why, but that line stands out to me. Schindler’s actions saved thousands of lives, and the growth of that Tree speaks to the actions he undertook to save those people. It says to me “despite these horrors, we grow.”
And new seeds are sowed with each passing year. Think of how many of those Schindler Jews got to have families, grandchildren. Schindler saved those generations.
because soviet army is another oppressor, their NKVD is soviet version of the SS. After they capture "liberated" poland from the nazis, they even use Majdanek Concentration Camp as facility to torture and imprisoned polish soldiers who loyal to nationalist government in london and anybody who opposed soviet occupation.
Soviets didn't hate jews. There could be some prejudice in russian people, but it was minimal. After 1917 Anti-semetism was portraiture as bourgeoisy way to fight workers internationalism... After all, there were a lot of jewish soldiers and officers fighting in the Red Army against germans.
Ralph Fiennes was 100% convincing as Amon Goeth. I was terrified by him in the film. He was the personification of evil - a word that is often ridiculed. I often wonder what impact acting that role had on his mental health. Or maybe he was just very very good at compartmentalising.
This still stands as Liam Nessons greatest performance. Schindler went from a greedy business man to a Saint that saved the lives of more than a thousand people. In the end Oskar Schindler would die pennieless but those that he saved regularly gave him money and food. What an amazing story. ❤
I was a sobbing mess when I saw this in the theatre the first time. I still remember the stunned silence in the packed theatre at the end. People were so over come with emotion. Everyone just sat, silently, in the darkened theatre and wept. It took about ten minutes for people to recover enough to get up out of their sets and exit.
The same thing happened to me when I saw the film. I remember no one moved for a long period of time. As I sat in my chair and wept, I could hear many others crying in the theater. It was some time before the theater began to empty. The only other time I saw this happen was after The Passion of the Christ. I’ll never forget either movie or the effect they had on those who watched them.
It happened to me too here in Ireland. There was an interval half way through and not one person left seats or spoke. When it was over, of the entire theatre only one voice could be heard saying 'I'm in shock'. The movie had such a profound affect on me that I went back and did a Masters and then PhD in literature about childhood under Nazism. For over a decade now I've been researching, writing about and interviewing (on camera) survivors who were children at the time and now their own children. This movie put me on the path to where I always felt I should be, it has become, what I like to call 'a magnificent obsession'. .... Dr. Mary Honan
2:00 Amon failed multiple times to shoot someone earlier in the film because of a jammed gun. These guards failed to kick the chair several times before they could hang him. Talk about karma
"And he will deliver you unto the promised land" I am not religious, but such a hope can be powerful for a people that suffer needlessly. Nobody deserves to suffer.
@@casper2694 modern jews are not descended from bible era jews the genes are completely different as most modern jews are descended from medieval french and english colonials who occupied israel during the Crusades and mixed with Arabs. the Jews are not a race Hebrews are. and Judaism is a religion.
I watched this movie last night on Netflix. I started crying when I saw "I could've saved one more" scene and kept crying until the movie ended. My wife was sleeping besides me, she woke up & asked what happened, why are you crying? I couldn't say anything or I simply didn't know what to say. I just said, We're very very very lucky.
Beautiful and sad scene, makes my heart ache for the terrible atrocities committed during WW2 against the Jews and others, so horrible to see humans doing this to other humans for basically no reason ;(
The first time I saw Amon Goeth's death I was so insanely satisfied. Most likely the most unlikable/evil/horrible character in any movie. The Soviets disrespectfully kicking that little stool away is just icing on the cake.
It’s amazing how Ralph Fiennes literally plays Lord Voldemort and that role is his 2nd most evil character 2nd to Amon Göth and those weren’t Soviets kicking the stool those were Poles they were commies but not soviets
@@ruster2230 They were Polish soviets since this is 1946 and Poland is under soviet rule. Soon after then in 1947, The Polish People’s Republic was formed.
The song played over is Jerusalem of Gold, wrriten by Naomi Shemer (1930-2004) in 1967: Mountains air, clear as wine and the scent of pines carried by the evening's wind with the voice of bells. And in the slumber of tree and stone prisoned in her dream the city that sits alone and in her heart, a wall. Jerusalem of Gold (×2) and of copper, and of light (×2) for all your songs (×2) a lute, am I. (×2) How the water pits have dried the market square is empthy and none visits the Temple Mount in the ancient city. And in the caves, that are in the stone the spirits howl and none dismounts, to the Dead Sea on the road to Jericho. Jerusalem of Gold (×2) and of copper, and of light (×2) for all your songs (×2) a lute, am I. (×2)
1:54 Amon Goeth's execution is one of the most realistic shots in film history. I love how they have to break the stool because he's standing on it with all his weight as a final act of rebellion. The best part is its very anticlimactic just a few gaurds and men in the background. Definitely top 5 Deaths of all time in both Movies and TV shows.
Movie is a real masterpiece for sure. Jews never forget what he's done,they support him later after the war when he was broke and poor. Finally after he died they gave him last honor and transport his body to Jerusalem so he can rest in peace close to them,it's really amazing story to be told forever.
@@LocutusMoW My country saved 20,000 Jews during Holocaust and Jews never suffered persecution in my country and if I would have been in 1940s I would have invited the Jews to live in my country
The moment Stern ask if there are any Jews left in Poland to the soviet officer is not talked about enough. The way he does not answer and knowing the fact that only around 300 000 of the 3 million Jews that lived in Poland survived makes this scene truly heartbreaking.
Can't help but think of those who never made it. Those who are buried in the death and labor camps. Those who never got to experience freedom once more. May they all rest in peace and may we never forget them. They're not merely numbers or statistics, they were humans, just like us.
Am I the only Muslim that likes Jews and this movie? There's many similarities between our religions, and of the Christian religion as well. I see nothing but Muslim-hate in this comment section. Sad.
Islamophobia really has picked up since ISIS, sadly. People seem to forget that Muslims and Jews were very close and friendly before the collapse of the Ottomans.
Must have seen this film 20 odd times it still gets me in tears today as it did when it was first released. The music/ theme tune is for me harrowing and thought provoking to listen to…. An absolute masterpiece.. I just hope and pray that the human race can learn from this…
@@juliogarcia6912 people cry because the movie is sad, not necessarily because the real events (people cry watching completely fictional movies too). This movie is sad so it upsets people
My mom's Uncle jumped out of a glider behind enemy lines in Normandy on D-Day. I later learned that the AA were some of the first to reach the concentration camps. He never spoke about it. I asked him what he did in WW II, he said he was in the AA. That it was the highlight of his life. When that outshines the birth of your children, I think it speaks volumes. It was the proudest moment in his life. I was among heroes all my life and didn't know it.
I remember when this was on network television. I wondered how they would cut it. Goodyear bought the time, and there were no ads, save for a short intermission. Spielberg spoke beforehad and said the movie would be shown in it's entirety, and that his young children had not seen it, but parents needed to make the decision for themselves, and that he though high schoolers could take it.
I remember that it was 1997 on ABC I was just 12 years old and me and my older sister stayed up late and watched this , it was my first time learning about the Holocaust. They had no commercials when they showed on tv .
I first saw this on DVD a Masterpiece by Steven and the music by John Williams was Superb. Whenever I hear it, it sends chills down my spine and opens the flood gates of tears. WE MUST NEVER FORGET WHAT HAPPENED THEN, EVER!!!
There is no word to define the perfection of this scene. The soundtrack fit perfectly, very exciting indeed. I've watched a number of historical WWII films, but this one is second to none.
I barely ever cry at movies, but the moment when the shot transitions to the Schindlerjuden in the present day completely destroyed me when I first saw it. The sheer enormity of what those people endured hits you all at once, like a wave.
He was nominated, along with Leonardo Dicaprio, John Malkovich, Peter Postlethwaite & Tommy Lee Jones, the eventual winner. How the Academy selected Jones ahead of all those 4 that year beggars belief.
Love the appearance of the Soviet soldier, just stating that people are on their own from now on...which they did and did great. Amazing episode, amazing movie....sad to consider the fact that the world is falling apart again. Our granddads made their best to keep it safe
You meant before the medieval ages where the Jews took their last stand in a tower(forgot the type of building).But I supposed it took place at London?
2:52 the change to colour signifies the end to the darkest, depraved, evil, sickening and disgusting acts in human history. These people suffered, were tortured and murdered, because of who they were and what they believed in and now are generations strong. “He who saves one life saves the world entire”
I'm German. We watched this Movie in School in 9th Grade. To show the horrors that our ancestors committed on other people, honor the ones who have died and vow to never let anything like this happen again. But it also showed how sometimes, just one man, can change the world. Whenever I watch this movie, I cannot help but bawl my eyes out at the last scene. This, in my opinion, Is the most Powerful Movie and Movie scene in existence. And everyone should watch it, to understand what happened, so that we are not bound to make the same mistakes
I'm not German, but I grew up in Germany, I also watched this films in school in the 9th grade, I didn't understand the fiom at all. I was only 16 years old then, but 5 years later I watched the film again and now I understand better what it is about and how depressing the film is.
Não existe palavra para definir a perfeição dessas última cenas. A trilha sonora se encaixou perfeitamente, muito emocionante mesmo. Já assisti vários filmes históricos sobre a segunda guerra, mas esse é inigualável.
When Steven Spielberg asked John Williams to produce the music in the movie, he showed him a copy of the film. Williams was so moved by what he saw, so much so that he told Spielberg that he couldn’t do it, because this movie deserved a better producer than him. Spielberg’s reply was: ”I know. But they’re all dead.”
I always cry when I watch this and listen. My beloved People, I love you! We suffered so much , but we're still here, so enemies of Israel, give up! From a brazilian jew.
The accuracy of the Soviet officer's comments. In translation it's: "Don't head for the Soviet Union despite being on the allied side, religion is stamped out especially Jews." "Don't head West because you're going to hit them all the same."
I was living in Israel when this was released. They said the cinemas had paramedics on duty to deal with people who were overwhelmed by the memories it brought back.
Despite what some would say about Pearl Harbor (2001), the scenes of the attack brought back a lot of traumatizing memories for the veterans that saw it. I don't know about paramedics, but I know many left the cinemas unable to continue watching. Bay is a lot of things, but he wanted people to understand why the attack was so traumatizing without the patriotism that often dogged older movies about Pearl Harbor.
That ending scene...We always forget how our actions and decisions can affect other people. Maybe we must stop thinking that much about ourselves and maybe look better at the person next to us. I bet they are not that different than me and you.
The Poles tried him and hung him in a courtyard and it took three goes to do the job. Ralph Fiennes (Goeth) refused any support in his hanging scene because he wanted the angle to look realistic.
*Avir harim tzalol ka'yayin* Mountain air clear as wine *Verei'ach oranim* and the scent of pine *Nisa beru'ach ha'arba'yim* carried by the twilight breeze *Im kol pa'amonim* on the sound of bells *U'btardemat ilan va'even* slumber of tree and stone *Shvu'ya bachaloma* captured in her dreams *Ha'ir asher badad yoshevet* the city that shal dwell alone *Ubeliba- Choma* and in its heart- a wall *Yerushalaim shel zahav* Jerusalem of gold *Veshel nechoshet veshel or* of copper, and of light *Halo lechol shi'ra'yich* behold, for all your songs *Ani kinor* I shall be a violin
Amon Goeths death was actually way worse then they showed here, as the rope snapped twice before he was hung. Just imagine nie scared that monster was before death finally came for him.
Ralph Fiennes should have won something for the way he portayed Goeth. He was so good at the role that even the Schindler Jews on set were scared shitless of him. Amazing actor.
actually it's about the notion that being presented with horrible things can reveal a person's true character. Oskar Schindler reacted to what he saw by realizing he had to act even if cost him everything, Amon Goeth reacted with indifference because he's a psychopath
without a doubt, the finest few minutes in cinematic history. I still remember the first time I saw this. Despite being in public, in a movie theatre, I did not and could not help but cry my eyes out. i have come to realize that i am incapable of watching this scene without feeling that same emotion. it is for this that Steven Spielberg has achieved immortality
But what's amazing to see how they're still kind-hearted people in times like that when they're surrounded by so much much evil in hatred that there are still people out there with a good heart that shows there is still hope for humanity
I went to the actual factory as they ran a tour there. The office block is still there but the factory itself is long gone. It wasn't expensive to go see it which is just as well as I came out of it annoyed and angry. I thought I was going to find out more about Schindler and the people he saved. Instead it was about Poland itself which I found extremely annoying as it needed to be about Schindler and the people he saved only. Why else would you go to Schindler building unless you wanted to know more about him
@@jedenzet No what I figured was that the building where Schindler worked and saved so many might actually have some information on him. It had nothing about him at all. The movie had nothing to do with the notion I had walking into the building that the tour labelled the Schindler tour would actually be about Schindler.
@@Assassino275 got to be honest yes it was. I left learning nothing about this moment in history. The movie is like an introduction and I would have liked to know more but was short changed in that museum.

The part that said that Schlinder’s marriage and business, failed apart after the war. That truly breaks my heart. He suffered from a horrible case of PTSD and was riddled with guilt. No one can’t expect a person who has experienced so much trauma, to continue their life as if nothing happened.
Indeed.

It happened to me too here in Ireland. There was an interval half way through and not one person left seats or spoke. When it was over, of the entire theatre only one voice could be heard saying 'I'm in shock'. The movie had such a profound affect on me that I went back and did a Masters and then PhD in literature about childhood under Nazism. For over a decade now I've been researching, writing about and interviewing (on camera) survivors who were children at the time and now their own children. This movie put me on the path to where I always felt I should be, it has become, what I like to call 'a magnificent obsession'. .... Dr. Mary Honan

I watched this movie last night on Netflix. I started crying when I saw "I could've saved one more" scene and kept crying until the movie ended. My wife was sleeping besides me, she woke up & asked what happened, why are you crying? I couldn't say anything or I simply didn't know what to say. I just said, We're very very very lucky.
I was sad that they didn't include the holocausters and masturbation machines in this movie
It was one impactful scene.... Literally made me cry too
He wanted to save them all
That ending clip really showed just how much he did.
Beautiful and sad scene, makes my heart ache for the terrible atrocities committed during WW2 against the Jews and others, so horrible to see humans doing this to other humans for basically no reason ;(

The first time I saw Amon Goeth's death I was so insanely satisfied. Most likely the most unlikable/evil/horrible character in any movie. The Soviets disrespectfully kicking that little stool away is just icing on the cake.
These were Poles, not Soviets
It’s amazing how Ralph Fiennes literally plays Lord Voldemort and that role is his 2nd most evil character 2nd to Amon Göth and those weren’t Soviets kicking the stool those were Poles they were commies but not soviets
Nah the real guy should of had to rot in the gulag, that’s way too easy.

The song played over is Jerusalem of Gold, wrriten by Naomi Shemer (1930-2004) in 1967:
Mountains air, clear as wine
and the scent of pines
carried by the evening's wind
with the voice of bells.
And in the slumber of tree and stone
prisoned in her dream
the city that sits alone
and in her heart, a wall.
Jerusalem of Gold (×2)
and of copper, and of light (×2)
for all your songs (×2)
a lute, am I. (×2)
How the water pits have dried
the market square is empthy
and none visits the Temple Mount
in the ancient city.
And in the caves, that are in the stone
the spirits howl
and none dismounts, to the Dead Sea
on the road to Jericho.
Jerusalem of Gold (×2)
and of copper, and of light (×2)
for all your songs (×2)
a lute, am I. (×2)
1:54 Amon Goeth's execution is one of the most realistic shots in film history. I love how they have to break the stool because he's standing on it with all his weight as a final act of rebellion. The best part is its very anticlimactic just a few gaurds and men in the background. Definitely top 5 Deaths of all time in both Movies and TV shows.
Movie is a real masterpiece for sure.
Jews never forget what he's done,they support him later after the war when he was broke and poor.
Finally after he died they gave him last honor and transport his body to Jerusalem so he can rest in peace close to them,it's really amazing story to be told forever.

The moment Stern ask if there are any Jews left in Poland to the soviet officer is not talked about enough. The way he does not answer and knowing the fact that only around 300 000 of the 3 million Jews that lived in Poland survived makes this scene truly heartbreaking.

Can't help but think of those who never made it. Those who are buried in the death and labor camps. Those who never got to experience freedom once more. May they all rest in peace and may we never forget them. They're not merely numbers or statistics, they were humans, just like us.
No-one speaks about the man played "Isaac Stern"? I think his acting was great.

And he did win an Academy Award for playing another humanitarian - Gandhi.

My mom's Uncle jumped out of a glider behind enemy lines in Normandy on D-Day. I later learned that the AA were some of the first to reach the concentration camps. He never spoke about it. I asked him what he did in WW II, he said he was in the AA. That it was the highlight of his life. When that outshines the birth of your children, I think it speaks volumes. It was the proudest moment in his life. I was among heroes all my life and didn't know it.

I can't imagine walking away from that horror and trying to start over.
I remember when this was on network television. I wondered how they would cut it. Goodyear bought the time, and there were no ads, save for a short intermission. Spielberg spoke beforehad and said the movie would be shown in it's entirety, and that his young children had not seen it, but parents needed to make the decision for themselves, and that he though high schoolers could take it.
I remember that, it was on NBC. It was aired ENTIRELY UNCUT, and I never forgot it.
I remember that it was 1997 on ABC I was just 12 years old and me and my older sister stayed up late and watched this , it was my first time learning about the Holocaust. They had no commercials when they showed on tv .
I first saw this on DVD a Masterpiece by Steven and the music by John Williams was Superb. Whenever I hear it, it sends chills down my spine and opens the flood gates of tears.
WE MUST NEVER FORGET WHAT HAPPENED THEN, EVER!!!
There is no word to define the perfection of this scene. The soundtrack fit perfectly, very exciting indeed. I've watched a number of historical WWII films, but this one is second to none.
The best
I barely ever cry at movies, but the moment when the shot transitions to the Schindlerjuden in the present day completely destroyed me when I first saw it. The sheer enormity of what those people endured hits you all at once, like a wave.
Saving Private Ryan and Schindler’s List are Spielberg’s best movies.
I’d add Jaws to that as well in my opinion

Ralph Fiennes really should’ve won Best Supporting Actor for his performance in this movie.

I'm German. We watched this Movie in School in 9th Grade. To show the horrors that our ancestors committed on other people, honor the ones who have died and vow to never let anything like this happen again.
But it also showed how sometimes, just one man, can change the world. Whenever I watch this movie, I cannot help but bawl my eyes out at the last scene.
This, in my opinion, Is the most Powerful Movie and Movie scene in existence. And everyone should watch it, to understand what happened, so that we are not bound to make the same mistakes

Não existe palavra para definir a perfeição dessas última cenas. A trilha sonora se encaixou perfeitamente, muito emocionante mesmo. Já assisti vários filmes históricos sobre a segunda guerra, mas esse é inigualável.
When Steven Spielberg asked John Williams to produce the music in the movie, he showed him a copy of the film.
Williams was so moved by what he saw, so much so that he told Spielberg that he couldn’t do it, because this movie deserved a better producer than him.
Spielberg’s reply was: ”I know. But they’re all dead.”
One hell of a tribute to Williams.
I have only these words for this scene.
ABSOLUTELY HEARTWARMING...
I always cry when I watch this and listen. My beloved People, I love you! We suffered so much , but we're still here, so enemies of Israel, give up! From a brazilian jew.

Amon Goeth may have one of the most satisfying movie deaths in my opinion
1:55 - 2:15 most satisfactory 20 seconds in movie history.
there are more hangings of other SS butchers
The accuracy of the Soviet officer's comments. In translation it's:
"Don't head for the Soviet Union despite being on the allied side, religion is stamped out especially Jews."
"Don't head West because you're going to hit them all the same."
"Are there any jews left"?
My god. That broke my heart
Silný příběh, nezapomenutelná melodie. Čest všem co to prožili. Zdravim z Česka.
A few good humans keep the world running on. Thank you, Oskar Schindler. You are a great human being.
I was living in Israel when this was released. They said the cinemas had paramedics on duty to deal with people who were overwhelmed by the memories it brought back.
Despite what some would say about Pearl Harbor (2001), the scenes of the attack brought back a lot of traumatizing memories for the veterans that saw it. I don't know about paramedics, but I know many left the cinemas unable to continue watching.
Bay is a lot of things, but he wanted people to understand why the attack was so traumatizing without the patriotism that often dogged older movies about Pearl Harbor.
That ending scene...We always forget how our actions and decisions can affect other people. Maybe we must stop thinking that much about ourselves and maybe look better at the person next to us. I bet they are not that different than me and you.
Schindler was a hero, but his life ended miserably. Bless him.
The Poles tried him and hung him in a courtyard and it took three goes to do the job. Ralph Fiennes (Goeth) refused any support in his hanging scene because he wanted the angle to look realistic.
Mr Schindler, rest well. Your miracles shall never be forgotten.

Amon Goeths death was actually way worse then they showed here, as the rope snapped twice before he was hung. Just imagine nie scared that monster was before death finally came for him.
The most powerful and moving "Curtain Call" of any movie ever made...
Goeth didn't get any comeuppance - he was as indifferent to his own death as he was to all the ones he caused.
Can anyone watch this movie more than once...? How a man can be so cruel...? I´m in tears now :(
1:58 best scene in whole movie
Светлая память, всем погибшим, в этой не нужной для человечества войне!
Ralph Fiennes should have won something for the way he portayed Goeth.
He was so good at the role that even the Schindler Jews on set were scared shitless of him.
Amazing actor.
So much so that when he came around the corner on set one day, two of the actual survivors snapped to attention because they had flashbacks
actually it's about the notion that being presented with horrible things can reveal a person's true character. Oskar Schindler reacted to what he saw by realizing he had to act even if cost him everything, Amon Goeth reacted with indifference because he's a psychopath
It's in black and white because only black and white footage of the war exists. Spielberg said so himself.
It was pure genius when at the end the colour was introduced gradually into this scene bringing it into modern times.
without a doubt, the finest few minutes in cinematic history. I still remember the first time I saw this. Despite being in public, in a movie theatre, I did not and could not help but cry my eyes out. i have come to realize that i am incapable of watching this scene without feeling that same emotion. it is for this that Steven Spielberg has achieved immortality
But what's amazing to see how they're still kind-hearted people in times like that when they're surrounded by so much much evil in hatred that there are still people out there with a good heart that shows there is still hope for humanity

I went to the actual factory as they ran a tour there. The office block is still there but the factory itself is long gone. It wasn't expensive to go see it which is just as well as I came out of it annoyed and angry. I thought I was going to find out more about Schindler and the people he saved. Instead it was about Poland itself which I found extremely annoying as it needed to be about Schindler and the people he saved only. Why else would you go to Schindler building unless you wanted to know more about him
you're just blinded by this movie
@@jedenzet No what I figured was that the building where Schindler worked and saved so many might actually have some information on him. It had nothing about him at all.
