Did you know that this production is based on an Australian writer who won 7 awards for Fiction? Yes, Schidlers List is a book of fiction the back of the book clearly states that is based on fiction. Names, locations, cituation, all part of the authors imagination. Wake up and question everything, do not be a victim of indoctrination. These people have an agenda, they are so smart, they will make you believe anything if you let them. They already have you believing, giving your soul and praying to their god.
@@Phil-p7p You'd say that slow dramas are good for reaction videos, because in slow dramas a lot of things happen to react to? Being a fan of this film, which are your favourite scenes? Which scenes do you find really entertaining?
It is one of the most difficult films to watch, but also one of the most important films. Even during one of the darkest times, people could do amazing things. This is my favourite film of all time. Was so glad to see you watch it and feel that emotion. It's one of the few films that I still cry when I watch. Such a beautiful yet horrifying, emotional, uplifting yet tragic things you'll ever see. I hope you loved it as much as I did. Who ever saves one life, saves the world entire. Oskar Schindler saved so many and so many generations will be here because of what he did. A true hero
"I could have done more, one more person. A person, Stern..." This scene always gets me, no matter how many times I see it. God bless you, Herr Schindler. RIP
Nonsense! It's only a movie based on a novel in which paid professional actors and actresses portray certain historical characters. Although technically well-made, this film is shamelessly and emotionally manipulative. It made $322 million (and counting) so no tears need be shed for the filmmaker.
I was concerned about such a gentle soul like you watching this movie but you are correct - it needs to be seen by everyone. Atrocities like this still continue to this day. I hope one day we as a species can just live in peace. The “I could have saved more” scene always brings me to tears.
@dolfdogeler2890 do the world a favor and change for the better or follow your leader and take yourself out of this world. you clearly are unhappy, you don't need to make the world as awful as you feel.
Oh my dear sweet Dasha, this one wrecks me every time I watch it. Props to you for delving into this relentlessly brutal movie that exposes the often washed-over darkness of the Second World War.
@@davidz2562 If it was the true depiction of the haulacost you would see here skeleton looking, 35kg adult men and a lot more brutality and death. No person could watch this horror. So this is censored.
@@davidz2562 Spielberg's original cut that I saw in theaters included a couple more kills, nothing, of course, compared to the actual wholesale slaughter going on en masse.
Thank you for showing us that no matter where one is born...or what language you speak....you can have compassion for your fellow human beings....love not hate. We must learn from history...so we don't repeat it.
I never saw this movie without crying. Me as a german feel angry and sad everytime I see these things. We as todays generation have to do everything possible, so that those things never happen again!.. Every people should watch this movie. It is important not to forget what people are able to do, when they are on the wrong way... Thanks for sharing your experience!
If we want things like this never happen again then first the politicians have to stop with the covid-passports which divide the vaccinated who can do everything and the unvaccinated who can do nothing and will be excluded from society!
@@sjoekiloeki I don't want to compare the world war 2 situation with this pandemic situation right now. I think here is not the right place and it's not the right context to discuss that.
As an American, I sympathize greatly. In that spirit, Hitler was only one misguided man, and he represents the worst of what humanity can be capable of. Hitler was never a good representation of Germany the same way someone like Donald Trump is as far from a good example of American as most of us here in the States would ever want to get. I know its kind of a cliche, but it always rings true: those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Generations grow. I hope there's one generation that takes all of humanity to a global society that changes the world for the better, despite our differences, culturally, globally, rand racially. Respect, brother.
When stationed in Germany, I visited Bergen Belsen. It was the most humbling experience of my life. It's true that no birds sing there. This film brings it all home to you.
This is the most powerful and moving film I have ever seen.a lesson that can never be forgotten.Schindler in the beginning was an egotistical,womanizing opportunist.then he found his humanity and did something truly amazing.thank you dear for such a heart felt reaction
Im glad you watched this. More YOUNG people need to know what really happened and CAN happen. It is not easy to watch, but peopl(not you) do a disservice to those who lived through it if people ruse to watch because its hard. Imagine how HARD it was for real people. . That goes for WW2 as well, all sides. Love all your reactions, keep up the good work.
Dasha…you are far too young to have seen this in theaters. Your reaction at the very end was exactly-EXACTLY-the same as that of the people who were in the theater with my girlfriend and I. We had nothing to say. We had planned to get a bite to eat and some drinks after the movie…instead, we drove home in silence and went off on our own to reflect. Your reaction to the film is that of a pure hearted human being who isn’t capable of hurting anyone. The world needs more like you. ❤❤❤
The really wonderful thing about the growth in movie reaction videos is that among all the super awesome superhero, animated, and other blockbuster movies watched are the truly impactful films like Schindler's List that are being re-discovered by another generation of movie watchers like yourself. It's like you said in your reaction: "Nothing is more essential than history." I love your journey through the MCU and other favorite films, but i'm glad you are taking the time to absorb super important stories and histories like this one, and hope that your fellow reactors follow your example.
This film is emotionally potent, but we must always remember what happened in the Holocaust, else we are in danger of repeating it. This is one of a few films that often get shown in history classrooms (in the US, at least, I'm not sure about elsewhere). Another film that you should definitely watch (and this is the third time I'm suggesting it in a week) is Glory (1989). It tells the heroic story the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, the second regiment of black soldiers that the United States raised during the American Civil War. Consequently, it touches upon themes relating to another horrific crime against humanity that should never be forgotten: slavery in the Americas.
Why not Ben Hur, The Ten Commandments, Captain Blood, I Am a Slave, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, or The Slave Hunters? They all deal with a horrific crime against humanity that should never be forgotten - slavery in Africa, Asia, and Europe. They are better films also.
It's far more important to know and understand *WHY* those things happened, and what lead to it, is far more important than the unpleasant surface. The deep truth is far more twisted and traumatizing.
Well done for watching this film Dasha, especially as you knew before hand that it would upset you. You said something before the film started which is so true. Every generation needs to learn the truth of what happened. And through out the film you kept reiterating that this actually happened to real people. That was so important. All of us, no matter what age, what nationality, what religion should learn from the mistakes of the past, understand what had happened, and then ensure that these things can, and must NEVER happen again. Thank you for watching this film, it is very hard to watch, but in my humble opinion, this is one film that everyone needs to see. Really enjoy watching all of these film and sharing your reactions, but this one most of all. Well done. 👍👍👍
I still can't make it through this whole movie. When my history class studied WWII and the Holocaust (right after the movie originally came out) we watched the Ghetto Liquidation scene, and I was physically ill. That said, IMO this film should be required viewing in High School. One of the most disturbing things about it is that they actually had to TONE AMON GOETH DOWN because his cruelty was so over the top they were afraid viewers would think it was all made up. As horrible as he is in the movie, the things he did in real life were actually WORSE. He was actually relieved of duty from a Death Camp for abusing prisoners. The man was an absolute monster. I do love how they did the credits, having the actual survivor (or their family) alongside the actor who plaid them as they placed the stones around Schindler's grave. The man who laid the rose, whom they didn't show his face, was Liam Neeson.
I watched this multiple times before I graduated high school; but I never cried from it until I watched someone else react to it; and Dasha was the first I saw react.
The thing is, he was only fired as a commandant because of one SS judge who inexplicably decided to try to arrest several SS members for wrongdoing, including unlawful kîllìng. He was unable to arrest many, of course, because they were supported from the top. He unfortunately wasn’t wilder than most of those monsters, he was just caught. And yes real life is always worse than fiction!! People sometimes teach that this portrayal of a Nāźï is unrealistic, or that he was unique, but not at all. But it seems people are convinced that there are very few people like this in the world, and that they aren’t “really” that bad. Sigh. It bothers me for many reasons, including white washing history and erasing victims experiences.
Oskar Schindler was honoured as one of the Righteous of the Nations. Among others bestowed the honour were Princess Alice of Battenberg (mother inlaw of Queen Elizabeth ii of the UK) and Archbishop Damaskinos of Athens, who story is also quite compelling.
I cried more watching you cry than I did when I first saw this movie. You have so much empathy that you increase the emotional level of anything that you watch
I want to give you a big hug. I remember seeing this as a teen back in the 90's. I was a bit stoic, but more emotional now. The girl in red. Everyone remembers the girl in red. She is you, she is everyone. It can happen to anyone. My grandfather was a cook in the Navy, in the Pacific theater, during WWII.
Spielberg put the girl in red in the movie to honour her family. The only survivor of the family was the father and in his testimony he said that he had recently purchased the red coat for his little girl, and when the nazis were leading his wife and children away, he was able to watch them for a long time as they faded into the distance, because in the crowd of people, her red coat stood out. When this movie came out, some silly cow claimed she was the girl just to get attention, but the father's testimony was on record.
You should have remained stoic. It's only a movie which earned $322 million. It was based on a novel and filmed with the intention of shamelessly manipulating the emotions.
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
So amazing to see people that can connect with movies, this and music is the best way for me to release build up feeling, it can really help letting loose
My father was in the US 3rd army (687th FAB) 43-45...one of his last duties in Europe was to help clean up a camp called Buchenwald...He took pictures there...The treatment of those murdered shown in this movie is underplayed if anything!!!
They actually underplayed that Bastard Goeth, but the guy who played him was so good that some of the survivors had PTSD episodes when they saw him in the full SS getup
@@buzznfrog6702 There are plenty to be found as well as US army films,,,But the picks my dad took...My mother burned them in the 60's... Dad would take them out and look at them....
Dasha, you understand these stories and characters so well, it's honestly pretty amazing. Stuff that takes some people multiple watches, or at least a little bit of time to fully absorb, you get **instantly**. I think you would make a fantastic writer.
Apparently, the filming was so grim over there in Poland that Steven Spielberg called his friend Robin Williams and asked him to perform some funny sketches over the phone and even watched some Seinfeld episodes after a day's worth of shooting. Spielberg also refused to accept a director's salary for this film, claiming it was "blood money" and gave it all to the Shoah foundation. Having seen Dasha react to this film emotionally, I won't recommend any films here.
@Dolf Dogeler Hello Dolf! I did not know that Spielberg was a part of that gang of dirtbags who associated with Epstein, (though it doesn't surprise me). Was he one of the "frequent fliers" on the Lolita Express with Slick Willy Clinton and Randy Prince Andy?
@Dolf Dogeler I know exactly what you mean. Of course, I knew that they were fellow tribesmen but was unaware that there was a connection between the two. Did a quick search on internet and Spielberg's name was apparently on the Lolita Express passenger list but some sources dispute this. I must be such an idiot! All this time I thought Spielberg spent every waking hour whining and weeping about the ubiquitous "H" word (capitalized of course)!!!
Dasha, you are very compassionate and sweet. Many don't feel nothing about this horrors or just don't care. It is important to know history and try to prevent this happen again.
It was an incredibly hard movie to get through. There's no apologizing for your reaction. Anyone who didn't cry in this movie has no soul. God bless Oscar Schindler for the kindness he showed to the Jews and the risks he took to himself. He put his life at risk to save them.
The thing that crushed me when I went to Auschwitz was the huge glass display cases of babies shoes. Schindlers list is a story of redemption in my eyes and how everyone does have some good in them, and can do good in the face of great evil
30:08 ....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 sistematic 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....
Makes me "laugh" after seeing this that the Black Lives Matter group were adamant about Systemic Racism in the U.S. NAZI Germany had laws that led to the extermination of the Jews and other undesirables. Show me a current law in the US that specifically shows a prejudice against one race of people.
@@victorpena9824 Racists in this country are more careful about how they practice their racism. Nothing as overt as the Nazis, but it exists and has a negative impact on may groups here in the USA. To deny otherwise is to be blind. Also, just because it is not as open as the Nazis does not make it OK. Your words imply that.
Dasha, your reaction was exquisite ... your summing up faultless ... the videos you're producing are unrivalled ... your mum, dad & family should be (& probably are) extremely proud of you ... young people like you are the future for this world ... well done watching this movie
Spielberg said he had to tone down the violence that really happened as processing the nightmarish reality was almost impossible. My uncle helped liberate a number of camps, wouldn't talk much as to what he saw in them but used to say " It is amazing as to how thin that veneer of civilization that we draw around us really is, how easily it can be thrown off and how easily we can do such unspeakable things to those different to ourselves seemingly without a thought". Russia and its people were also targeted for extermination by the Nazis it was only through the sacrifice of untold Russian men, women and yes children that Russia survived
I agree. I wish people didn’t believe what is often taught about this all being banal and dull, that the best thing we can do is take responsibility for our actions. Because… while that is the first thing you can do, it is not NEARLY enough to prevent or stop this from happening to others. Because obviously, those who are conscientious take responsibility and those who aren’t *don’t.* They are either misguided, self-preserving, or in far too many cases, cynical.
this movie is one I still tear up watching. I remember seeing it when it came out in theaters when I was around 12 and even then I was struck by how powerful it was. I believe that this film at the very least in the top five films ever made.
This film is so important to watch, to teach each new generation about The Holocaust and the evil of racism and hate. Very moved by your reaction video Dasha, you're one of the good people that gives us hope.
Thank you for your empathy Dasha I can't watch it without crying, thinking about all my relatives that have perished in the Shoa. There have been no survivors. My branch had luck, the Nazis did not count us as Jews. Thank you for sharing your experience. My youngest looks a lot like the girl in the red cloak, and with rising antisemitism I have great fears for her.
Dasha, Lye is a caustic soda that becomes extremely corrosive when mixed with water. It’s dangerous to clean with if you don’t have proper protective equipment, but it does get things like metals and ceramics very clean. I took a course at university called “The Holocaust in Film and Literature” and this was one of the films we watched. On our final exam there was only one question: “With everything you have seen and read this semester, how do you think ordinary people could bring themselves to participate in an organized system of brutality and mass murder?” I answered with one sentence: “I hope I never know because I’d never be able to stop crying.” I got an A.
A true classic in every sense. Beautiful, tragic and heart wrenching. May we all learn from history. Would love your reaction to the 1982 movie Gorky Park with William Hurt and Lee Marvin. Great reaction!👍
As an Italian, it saddens me a lot to think that the Italian fascists also had their prison camps for Slavic people in Yugoslavia, where thousands of innocent people even children died.
For anyone wanting to learn more, i highly recommend the book, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer. It is an excellent read. Oh and well done Dasha...i've watched many reactors who have struggled to understand what was going on a lot of the time in this movie but you got it the whole movie.
This is definitely a movie everyone should see but that doesn't make it easier to watch. I saw it when it was re-released in the theater a few years ago. There was an intro by Steven Spielberg. He himself being Jewish had some difficult times making this film. Some days they would wrap early because it was just too unbearable for him. One evening he was crying for a half hour and called his friend Robin Williams because he needed to laugh (of course Robin was able to help with that). His intro's main message before the film was that love is more powerful than hate. Thank you once again for the reaction and including this film in particular. :)
When the death camp at Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet army on January 27, 1945, even battle-hardened soldiers who had been at the front for years were horrified at what they found. Vasily Petrenko, the commander of the 107th Rifle Division, commented "I who saw people dying every day was shocked by the Nazis' indescribable hatred toward the inmates who had turned into living skeletons."
It breaks my heart to see a young, sweet spirit as you, Dasha, watching the horrors that were inflicted upon innocents. I pray that you stay the same sweet spirit that you are...the world needs a lot more of you.
There is something when Spielberg's make a true story or a serious movie (like Saving Private Ryan which is one of Spielberg movie that you watch, the other was Jurassic Park), it just Incredible!, Schindler's List was a Masterpiece.
Simply the greatest film of all time along with Shawshank Redemption. Also, Mila Pfefferberg was on the set when they were doing the movie. And when she saw Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth for the first time in his full outfit she had a panic attack because she so afraid. He looks just like the real man, you can look it up. It's scary.
I kinda feel bad for Ralph Fiennes too. Not his character of course but the actor himself. Hes just trying to do his job and play his role for this important film. Im sure he never meant to cause such horror and shock to the survivors. I bet he felt pretty bad that his role had such a horrific effect on the survivors.
I think that story is mostly a myth. I've looked it up. Goeth does not look very much like Ralph Fiennes in any of the available photos. Goeth was morbidly obese and just plain didn't look much like him. I also can't find any verification about this alleged panic attack. I think it's just a story someone made up and people latched onto it and have ran with it for years. If a legend is more interesting than the truth, most tend to go with the legend and make it their own truth.
I've met very few American women your age who have your respect and interest in world events. You have an 'old soul' Dasha and please take that as the highest compliment.
Dasha - You didn't seem to notice that Schindler was also in Star Wars Episode I, so I am mentioning it here. He got Anakin out of slavery (but not his mother).
As a german kid, it was so hard to watch this movie the first time, imagining that maybe your own grandpa had to do such things, and it is still hard to watch to this day. One of my Opas (grandpas) was in the Wehrmacht, he lost his leg in the Ukraine and never talked to me about the war. The other one was a AA-gunner in the Netherlands, at the Atlantikwall.
I can relate to that. Though I was only 6 when my grandfather died, but my mother told me, that he never talked about the war either. He was a 1st Lieutenant in the German Navy btw.
@@phil0934 There has never been such a rank as "First Lieutenant" in either the Kriegsmaine or the Bundesmarine. It's like saying, "My grandfather was first baseman for the Dallas Cowboys when they won the Stanley Cup."
I'm British. Both my grandfathers fought in the second world war. Any nation could have been the nation that committed these atrocities. All races and nationalities, and any group of humans has the potential for evil. The danger is in demonising the perpetrators. Of calling them "monsters". Of identifying them as other-than-us. By doing that we are not recognising the danger and the potential for evil within all our own nations/groups. They were not monsters. They were not even "evil people". They were human beings, as are we all, that committed these horrendous acts of evil. Thats a very important difference. They were in fact "us" as human beings and we all have to work to make sure we never repeat this.
Dasha, you have an incredible grasp of the English language - even figurative language, and idioms! Also, i appreciate your compassion! You have a beautiful heart! Please keep in mind: Hitler killed six million Jews; Stalin murdered some twenty million Russians; Mao-Tse-Dong murdered as many as one hundred million Chinese. The horrors continue.
41:49 "I... could have... gotten one more _person."_ Oh, god. This scene always _gets_ me. I mean we've seen Schindler _sad_ in this movie, but this is the only scene we actually see him _break down._ Easily the saddest scene in an _extraordinarily sad movie._
Your observations of the events portrayed in this great film... the minor details (example, you noticed... the teeth for gold or that they put the grave stones as the roadway, what they were doing with pricking their fingers for blood to put on their cheeks!!!, so many reactions never know what they are doing but you do!!! ), you saw so much more than those many years older than you ! I applaud you! you have impressed me with your empathy, your humanity, your observations and true compassion. you give me hope. God Bless!
Btw Dasha, I know you use patreon mostly to pick your movies. I'm a Jewish boy descendant of holocaust survivors so I grew up amongst many survivors, have talked to them extensively and you can still see it in their eyes. Its amazing how they overcame so much and still went out to have families and learn to smile again. If I may I have a list of holocaust movies, some heavy, some ok to watch. They are not easy so dont watch them all at once. Spread it out and understand you are doing a big service to humanity when you watch one and teach strangers about hte horrors. Here is a list: 1. Escape from Sobibor 2. The Grey Zone 3. Out of the Ashes 4. The Pianist 5. Defiance 6. Son of Saul 7. Life is Beautiful 8. Europa Europa 9. The Boy if the Stripled Pajamas
it was a privilege reviewing this film in your company - i admire what you are doing very much - watching films that are not easy on the emotions and which show horrific events in graphic reality. i sincerely hope you take time out to watch a comedy once in a while just to show the world isn't bad all the time.
It has to be said that Ralph Fiennes did some great acting here, to portray Amon Goeth as being such an evil psychopath. He was nominated for an Oscar for that role, but didn't win. I wonder sometimes if playing that role was a heavy mental burden on him.
Spielberg made the little girl in the red jacket promise to not watch the movie until she was 18. She broke that promise at 11 and was horrified & emotionally scarred. But she watched it again at 18 and said that she was proud to be a part of such a powerful & important film. I'm very proud of you for having reacted to this movie. It's not an easy movie to watch but I feel like everyone should see it at least once....cause once is really all it takes. Kinda like Saving Private Ryan. It'll stay with you for the rest of your life.
I try to explain you shower scene: Didascalic said "Auschwitz", but to be exactly that place was called "Auschwiz number two": Birkenau. The biggest extermination camp never built during WWII. There was two type of installation in Birkenau. When a transport arrived to camp nazis made a selection: the few people who was considered "able to work" was sent to "Bad und Disinfestaktion", letterally: "Bath and Disinfestaction", a place called "Sauna". This place had real shower with real water where prisoners was shaved, and received a tatoo with number of captivity and became slaves who suffered the hell until they were to weak to work. After that they were sent to gas chamber. The other installation, was the "Sonderbeadlung installation", letterally: "Special treatment installation": the gas chambers. Every gas chamber was built inside a crematorium, the crematory where the bodies where burnt. The gas chambers had fake shower, but gas doesn't excape from there. Gas used in Birkenau was called "Zyklon B" that is solid a solid crystal of arsenic product for kill parasite like lices, crabs ad rats. When it came in contact with the oxgen it produces a gas that is poisonous and lethal. Gas was pour from a window on the roof. You can say the creamtorium in the last part of this scene in which tou can see man, child and women go down to the scale. There was 4 giant installation in Birkenau, and as you can see when camera hold on chimney that smoke change color: when smoke change color mean that a body in burning. Auschwitz was liberated from Red Army on 27th January 1945. Until tha days 2 milion of people was deportaited to Auschwitz: there were on 15. 000 survivors, 1.3 milion of people was killed in that place.
Great movie. As bad as the things as you see in the movie it was much worse in reality. The Nazi didn't just kill. They starved and worked people to death. They killed babies children woman and man with no mercy. Those who survive look liked skeletons. I would love to see You react to Its a Wonderful Life.
Russia's help in winning the war at that time was very appreciated. One thing you can say, the Germans learned a lesson after the war. Not all countries are willing to totally change.
Seeing all the people Schindler saved at the grave was emotional enough to break anyone... But seeing his wife, now old and in a wheelchair... That broke me beyond repair, because that right there is true love. After all the years since he left Emilie in Argentina, she never stopped caring about Oskar. Not even after he died in 1974. And remember: this scene is the first time Emilie saw the grave of her husband... after 19 long years since he died. P.S.: yes, that is his real wife, Emilie Schindler, she died in 2001. Spielberg himself arranged that she could travel to Israel to the grave of her husband so that she could finally see her husband's final resting place. Her exact words were: "At last we meet again... I have received no answer, my dear, I do not know why you abandoned me... But what not even your death or my old age can change is that we are still married, this is how we are before God. I have forgiven you everything, everything." 😢
Clicked on this so fast, fave reactor watching my favourite movie. Love to see you react and being affected by a masterpiece of film making that tells a vital, if awful, piece of human history.
Dasha, considering English is not your first language, your comments and insight as events unfolded on the screen were exceptional. I found your displays of emotion during many of the very upsetting scenes very moving. It gives me the impression that you are a young lady with a very kind heart.❤🙏
This was THE best reaction to this movie that I've seen so far! I can tell she really, really got it. I've watched this film countless times and it never ceases to break me. Dasha, well done! Your review gets ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I remember watching this film in history class and at the end of it my history teacher said to us " if we were to observe 1 minute of silence for each victim of the holocaust. We would be silent for 11.5 years" if that doesn't put into prospective of how many people who were murder during the holocaust I don't know what does.
People always assume that he has this huge character arc because he doesn't want to be acknowledged and it makes him angry and he lashes out when people are sent to him to do other family members but he wasn't lashing out in anger, he was terrified. He was constantly in fear that what he was doing would be discovered and everyone would be killed. Not just him, but his family, friends, all of his workers, and he wouldn't be able to continue saving people. I honestly give him tons of credit for not losing his shit and threatening to kill people that are brazenly jeopardizing the entire operation. Every time someone shows up with their grandparents it had to cross his mind that everyone is apparently sharing what he's doing and given what was happening, could easily be coerced into saving their own lives by throwing him and all who count on him under the bus. There must have been so many times fear overwhelmed him and he almost shut the whole thing down, but he never did. I think he was just highly aware of his exposure, but still always put his neck out to save as many as he could, even in the beginning
Perhaps the most important movie ever made and one everyone should see at least once in their lifetime. Unfortunately this sort of inhumanity was not just exclusive to the Nazi regime Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot are all responsible for millions of deaths among others and ethnic cleansing and genocide are sadly common throughout history.
The engineer who got shot, even though she was right? She did do something wrong. She dared approach a German officer and talk to him as an equal when she was supposed to be a slave. I think that was the reason the German officer, in his twisted mind, shot her. Thank you for your reaction. It was very compelling.
That reasoning is far too rational. The officer (Göth) was inconvinienced by the issue that she brought up, and was already resentful for other things. That was enough for him to act out in rage, expressing his power and violence over people. It doesn't really matter who, or why.
Spielberg made this movie for his mother. Who lived through many of these atrocities of German persecution. He refused to even consider making this movie for the better part of 15 years. He thought the responsibility was to great a burden to bear, especially if he got the outcome was not his best, even better than his best.
My grandmother was one of Schindler's Jews. Your genuine reaction is much appreciated....We survived...and we have THRIVED!! ❤🖖
That's the spirit. We need more love and empathy around the world at the moment.

It is one of the most difficult films to watch, but also one of the most important films. Even during one of the darkest times, people could do amazing things. This is my favourite film of all time. Was so glad to see you watch it and feel that emotion. It's one of the few films that I still cry when I watch. Such a beautiful yet horrifying, emotional, uplifting yet tragic things you'll ever see. I hope you loved it as much as I did.
Who ever saves one life, saves the world entire. Oskar Schindler saved so many and so many generations will be here because of what he did. A true hero
A damn fine favorite movie, I doubt I'd find a historian or filmmaker who would say otherwise.
Agree. Saw it again last night. Difficult to watch every time. Very well done film. Everyone should see it.
@dolfdogeler2890 Another member of the David Irving fan club rears it's ugly head.
"I could have done more, one more person. A person, Stern..." This scene always gets me, no matter how many times I see it. God bless you, Herr Schindler. RIP
I guess u r german brother,, cuz u used herr instead of mr. 🤭🥺🥺 ,, thank god there were people like herr Schindler😢😢 even being a nazi hahn
Such a powerful reaction, Dasha. Thank you. NEVER apologize for crying at this, anyone who doesn't cry isn't human.
Nonsense! It's only a movie based on a novel in which paid professional actors and actresses portray certain historical characters. Although technically well-made, this film is shamelessly and emotionally manipulative. It made $322 million (and counting) so no tears need be shed for the filmmaker.

I was concerned about such a gentle soul like you watching this movie but you are correct - it needs to be seen by everyone. Atrocities like this still continue to this day. I hope one day we as a species can just live in peace. The “I could have saved more” scene always brings me to tears.
The number of genocides that have happened that few, if anybody, know about is crazy.

Oh my dear sweet Dasha, this one wrecks me every time I watch it. Props to you for delving into this relentlessly brutal movie that exposes the often washed-over darkness of the Second World War.
I expected it to include a lot more killing.
@@davidz2562
If it was the true depiction of the haulacost you would see here skeleton looking, 35kg adult men and a lot more brutality and death.
No person could watch this horror.
So this is censored.
@@davidz2562 Spielberg's original cut that I saw in theaters included a couple more kills, nothing, of course, compared to the actual wholesale slaughter going on en masse.
@@kthx1138 It's a lot slower & has far fewer killings than I expected. I watched it once & don't intend to watch it again.
Thank you for showing us that no matter where one is born...or what language you speak....you can have compassion for your fellow human beings....love not hate. We must learn from history...so we don't repeat it.
I never saw this movie without crying. Me as a german feel angry and sad everytime I see these things. We as todays generation have to do everything possible, so that those things never happen again!.. Every people should watch this movie. It is important not to forget what people are able to do, when they are on the wrong way... Thanks for sharing your experience!
If we want things like this never happen again then first the politicians have to stop with the covid-passports which divide the vaccinated who can do everything and the unvaccinated who can do nothing and will be excluded from society!
@@sjoekiloeki I don't want to compare the world war 2 situation with this pandemic situation right now. I think here is not the right place and it's not the right context to discuss that.

@@madeincda The hypocrisy of some people today, it's really out of this world!
As an American, I sympathize greatly. In that spirit, Hitler was only one misguided man, and he represents the worst of what humanity can be capable of. Hitler was never a good representation of Germany the same way someone like Donald Trump is as far from a good example of American as most of us here in the States would ever want to get.
I know its kind of a cliche, but it always rings true: those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Generations grow. I hope there's one generation that takes all of humanity to a global society that changes the world for the better, despite our differences, culturally, globally, rand racially.
Respect, brother.
When stationed in Germany, I visited Bergen Belsen. It was the most humbling experience of my life. It's true that no birds sing there. This film brings it all home to you.
"The List Is Life." - Raw emotion on this one Dashy -
This is the most powerful and moving film I have ever seen.a lesson that can never be forgotten.Schindler in the beginning was an egotistical,womanizing opportunist.then he found his humanity and did something truly amazing.thank you dear for such a heart felt reaction
Im glad you watched this. More YOUNG people need to know what really happened and CAN happen. It is not easy to watch, but peopl(not you) do a disservice to those who lived through it if people ruse to watch because its hard. Imagine how HARD it was for real people. . That goes for WW2 as well, all sides. Love all your reactions, keep up the good work.
В России почти каждый знает об ужасах войны, граждане советского союза подверглись тому же ужасу, если не хуже
Dasha…you are far too young to have seen this in theaters. Your reaction at the very end was exactly-EXACTLY-the same as that of the people who were in the theater with my girlfriend and I. We had nothing to say. We had planned to get a bite to eat and some drinks after the movie…instead, we drove home in silence and went off on our own to reflect.
Your reaction to the film is that of a pure hearted human being who isn’t capable of hurting anyone. The world needs more like you. ❤❤❤
The really wonderful thing about the growth in movie reaction videos is that among all the super awesome superhero, animated, and other blockbuster movies watched are the truly impactful films like Schindler's List that are being re-discovered by another generation of movie watchers like yourself. It's like you said in your reaction: "Nothing is more essential than history." I love your journey through the MCU and other favorite films, but i'm glad you are taking the time to absorb super important stories and histories like this one, and hope that your fellow reactors follow your example.
Thats a great point. thankyou for making it.
Indeed.
This film is emotionally potent, but we must always remember what happened in the Holocaust, else we are in danger of repeating it. This is one of a few films that often get shown in history classrooms (in the US, at least, I'm not sure about elsewhere).
Another film that you should definitely watch (and this is the third time I'm suggesting it in a week) is Glory (1989). It tells the heroic story the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, the second regiment of black soldiers that the United States raised during the American Civil War. Consequently, it touches upon themes relating to another horrific crime against humanity that should never be forgotten: slavery in the Americas.
Glory is a personal favorite. Great suggestion.
Why not Ben Hur, The Ten Commandments, Captain Blood, I Am a Slave, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, or The Slave Hunters? They all deal with a horrific crime against humanity that should never be forgotten - slavery in Africa, Asia, and Europe. They are better films also.
Throw in Spartacus.
Throwing in "Amistad" and "12 Years A Slave"
It's far more important to know and understand *WHY* those things happened, and what lead to it, is far more important than the unpleasant surface. The deep truth is far more twisted and traumatizing.
Well done for watching this film Dasha, especially as you knew before hand that it would upset you. You said something before the film started which is so true. Every generation needs to learn the truth of what happened. And through out the film you kept reiterating that this actually happened to real people. That was so important. All of us, no matter what age, what nationality, what religion should learn from the mistakes of the past, understand what had happened, and then ensure that these things can, and must NEVER happen again.
Thank you for watching this film, it is very hard to watch, but in my humble opinion, this is one film that everyone needs to see.
Really enjoy watching all of these film and sharing your reactions, but this one most of all. Well done. 👍👍👍
I still can't make it through this whole movie. When my history class studied WWII and the Holocaust (right after the movie originally came out) we watched the Ghetto Liquidation scene, and I was physically ill. That said, IMO this film should be required viewing in High School.
One of the most disturbing things about it is that they actually had to TONE AMON GOETH DOWN because his cruelty was so over the top they were afraid viewers would think it was all made up. As horrible as he is in the movie, the things he did in real life were actually WORSE. He was actually relieved of duty from a Death Camp for abusing prisoners. The man was an absolute monster.
I do love how they did the credits, having the actual survivor (or their family) alongside the actor who plaid them as they placed the stones around Schindler's grave. The man who laid the rose, whom they didn't show his face, was Liam Neeson.
I watched this multiple times before I graduated high school; but I never cried from it until I watched someone else react to it; and Dasha was the first I saw react.
It still gives me goosebumps seeing his shadow. The elder lady tapping the stone in such a kind manner.
The thing is, he was only fired as a commandant because of one SS judge who inexplicably decided to try to arrest several SS members for wrongdoing, including unlawful kîllìng. He was unable to arrest many, of course, because they were supported from the top. He unfortunately wasn’t wilder than most of those monsters, he was just caught.
And yes real life is always worse than fiction!! People sometimes teach that this portrayal of a Nāźï is unrealistic, or that he was unique, but not at all. But it seems people are convinced that there are very few people like this in the world, and that they aren’t “really” that bad. Sigh. It bothers me for many reasons, including white washing history and erasing victims experiences.
Oskar Schindler was honoured as one of the Righteous of the Nations.
Among others bestowed the honour were Princess Alice of Battenberg (mother inlaw of Queen Elizabeth ii of the UK) and Archbishop Damaskinos of Athens, who story is also quite compelling.
I cried more watching you cry than I did when I first saw this movie. You have so much empathy that you increase the emotional level of anything that you watch
I want to give you a big hug. I remember seeing this as a teen back in the 90's. I was a bit stoic, but more emotional now.
The girl in red.
Everyone remembers the girl in red.
She is you, she is everyone. It can happen to anyone.
My grandfather was a cook in the Navy, in the Pacific theater, during WWII.
My grandfather was too...
Spielberg put the girl in red in the movie to honour her family. The only survivor of the family was the father and in his testimony he said that he had recently purchased the red coat for his little girl, and when the nazis were leading his wife and children away, he was able to watch them for a long time as they faded into the distance, because in the crowd of people, her red coat stood out. When this movie came out, some silly cow claimed she was the girl just to get attention, but the father's testimony was on record.
You should have remained stoic. It's only a movie which earned $322 million. It was based on a novel and filmed with the intention of shamelessly manipulating the emotions.

Oh, Dasha - a very brave piece of film history. Well done for sharing, :)
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
So amazing to see people that can connect with movies, this and music is the best way for me to release build up feeling, it can really help letting loose
My father was in the US 3rd army (687th FAB) 43-45...one of his last duties in Europe was to help clean up a camp called Buchenwald...He took pictures there...The treatment of those murdered shown in this movie is underplayed if anything!!!
They actually underplayed that Bastard Goeth, but the guy who played him was so good that some of the survivors had PTSD episodes when they saw him in the full SS getup
Can these pictures be found anywhere
@@buzznfrog6702 There are plenty to be found as well as US army films,,,But the picks my dad took...My mother burned them in the 60's... Dad would take them out and look at them....
Dasha, you understand these stories and characters so well, it's honestly pretty amazing. Stuff that takes some people multiple watches, or at least a little bit of time to fully absorb, you get **instantly**.
I think you would make a fantastic writer.
Apparently, the filming was so grim over there in Poland that Steven Spielberg called his friend Robin Williams and asked him to perform some funny sketches over the phone and even watched some Seinfeld episodes after a day's worth of shooting.
Spielberg also refused to accept a director's salary for this film, claiming it was "blood money" and gave it all to the Shoah foundation.
Having seen Dasha react to this film emotionally, I won't recommend any films here.
Spielberg hardly needed the salary. He is worth more than three billion dollars.
@Dolf Dogeler Hello Dolf! I did not know that Spielberg was a part of that gang of dirtbags who associated with Epstein, (though it doesn't surprise me). Was he one of the "frequent fliers" on the Lolita Express with
Slick Willy Clinton and Randy Prince Andy?
@Dolf Dogeler I know exactly what you mean. Of course, I knew that they were fellow tribesmen but was unaware that there was a connection between the two. Did a quick search on internet and Spielberg's name was apparently on the Lolita Express passenger list but some sources dispute this. I must be such an idiot!
All this time I thought Spielberg spent every waking hour whining and weeping about the ubiquitous "H" word (capitalized of course)!!!
Dasha, you are very compassionate and sweet. Many don't feel nothing about this horrors or just don't care. It is important to know history and try to prevent this happen again.
41:03 "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entirely".
Thank you for reacting to this movie. I lost at least a half dozen family members in concentration camps. You have a beautiful soul!
I have never wanted more to give a person a hug than while watching you react to this movie. God bless.
Liam was robbed of the Oscar for this one
Yes he was
It was an incredibly hard movie to get through. There's no apologizing for your reaction. Anyone who didn't cry in this movie has no soul. God bless Oscar Schindler for the kindness he showed to the Jews and the risks he took to himself. He put his life at risk to save them.
Agreed 1000%
The thing that crushed me when I went to Auschwitz was the huge glass display cases of babies shoes. Schindlers list is a story of redemption in my eyes and how everyone does have some good in them, and can do good in the face of great evil
I was waiting for you to react to this. It’s such a great but tragic movie.
Anyone who can sit through this movie earns my respect
Bless your heart for your compassion, Dasha, sweet girl. The world needs more like you.
30:08 ....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 sistematic 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....
Literal death factory.
Makes me "laugh" after seeing this that the Black Lives Matter group were adamant about Systemic Racism in the U.S.
NAZI Germany had laws that led to the extermination of the Jews and other undesirables. Show me a current law in the US that specifically shows a prejudice against one race of people.
@@victorpena9824 Couldnt tell, I'm not U.S.
@@victorpena9824 Racists in this country are more careful about how they practice their racism. Nothing as overt as the Nazis, but it exists and has a negative impact on may groups here in the USA. To deny otherwise is to be blind. Also, just because it is not as open as the Nazis does not make it OK. Your words imply that.
Dasha, your reaction was exquisite ... your summing up faultless ... the videos you're producing are unrivalled ... your mum, dad & family should be (& probably are) extremely proud of you ... young people like you are the future for this world ... well done watching this movie
You have the most beautiful reactions. Your compassion shown in this reaction was so heartfelt and it’s obvious you are a lovely person.
Spielberg said he had to tone down the violence that really happened as processing the nightmarish reality was almost impossible. My uncle helped liberate a number of camps, wouldn't talk much as to what he saw in them but used to say " It is amazing as to how thin that veneer of civilization that we draw around us really is, how easily it can be thrown off and how easily we can do such unspeakable things to those different to ourselves seemingly without a thought". Russia and its people were also targeted for extermination by the Nazis it was only through the sacrifice of untold Russian men, women and yes children that Russia survived
Yeah, but USSR also started the war together with the Nazis.
And this is why we must never forget, never let this happen again to anyone, any group, anybody.
I agree. I wish people didn’t believe what is often taught about this all being banal and dull, that the best thing we can do is take responsibility for our actions. Because… while that is the first thing you can do, it is not NEARLY enough to prevent or stop this from happening to others. Because obviously, those who are conscientious take responsibility and those who aren’t *don’t.* They are either misguided, self-preserving, or in far too many cases, cynical.
this movie is one I still tear up watching. I remember seeing it when it came out in theaters when I was around 12 and even then I was struck by how powerful it was. I believe that this film at the very least in the top five films ever made.
Incredible movie. Very difficult to watch but so important at the same time. Dasha, you've gained a new fan from this reaction. Excellent job.
I can endure a lot of sad films, but this one broke me. It broke me bad.
This film is so important to watch, to teach each new generation about The Holocaust and the evil of racism and hate. Very moved by your reaction video Dasha, you're one of the good people that gives us hope.
Thank you for your empathy Dasha I can't watch it without crying, thinking about all my relatives that have perished in the Shoa. There have been no survivors. My branch had luck, the Nazis did not count us as Jews. Thank you for sharing your experience.
My youngest looks a lot like the girl in the red cloak, and with rising antisemitism I have great fears for her.
Dasha,
Lye is a caustic soda that becomes extremely corrosive when mixed with water. It’s dangerous to clean with if you don’t have proper protective equipment, but it does get things like metals and ceramics very clean.
I took a course at university called “The Holocaust in Film and Literature” and this was one of the films we watched. On our final exam there was only one question:
“With everything you have seen and read this semester, how do you think ordinary people could bring themselves to participate in an organized system of brutality and mass murder?”
I answered with one sentence:
“I hope I never know because I’d never be able to stop crying.”
I got an A.
A true classic in every sense. Beautiful, tragic and heart wrenching. May we all learn from history. Would love your reaction to the 1982 movie Gorky Park with William Hurt and Lee Marvin. Great reaction!👍
OMG. I didn't think you could watch this film. It belongs to my collection of the hardest movies that I could resist during my childhood.
As an Italian, it saddens me a lot to think that the Italian fascists also had their prison camps for Slavic people in Yugoslavia, where thousands of innocent people even children died.
Seeing her reaction to the Russian liberating them at the end really moved me (after being moved MANY times watching this reaction)
For anyone wanting to learn more, i highly recommend the book, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer. It is an excellent read. Oh and well done Dasha...i've watched many reactors who have struggled to understand what was going on a lot of the time in this movie but you got it the whole movie.
This is definitely a movie everyone should see but that doesn't make it easier to watch. I saw it when it was re-released in the theater a few years ago. There was an intro by Steven Spielberg. He himself being Jewish had some difficult times making this film. Some days they would wrap early because it was just too unbearable for him. One evening he was crying for a half hour and called his friend Robin Williams because he needed to laugh (of course Robin was able to help with that). His intro's main message before the film was that love is more powerful than hate.
Thank you once again for the reaction and including this film in particular. :)
Shed no tears for Spielberg. He is a master manipulator who has parlayed his talents into a three billion dollar fortune.
This was honestly the most beautiful reaction to this film I’ve ever seen.
When the death camp at Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet army on January 27, 1945, even battle-hardened soldiers who had been at the front for years were horrified at what they found. Vasily Petrenko, the commander of the 107th Rifle Division, commented "I who saw people dying every day was shocked by the Nazis' indescribable hatred toward the inmates who had turned into living skeletons."
One of the greatest movies of all time.
It breaks my heart to see a young, sweet spirit as you, Dasha, watching the horrors that were inflicted upon innocents. I pray that you stay the same sweet spirit that you are...the world needs a lot more of you.
There is something when Spielberg's make a true story or a serious movie (like Saving Private Ryan which is one of Spielberg movie that you watch, the other was Jurassic Park), it just Incredible!, Schindler's List was a Masterpiece.
'Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire."
Simply the greatest film of all time along with Shawshank Redemption.
Also, Mila Pfefferberg was on the set when they were doing the movie. And when she saw Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth for the first time in his full outfit she had a panic attack because she so afraid. He looks just like the real man, you can look it up. It's scary.
She passed out.
I kinda feel bad for Ralph Fiennes too. Not his character of course but the actor himself. Hes just trying to do his job and play his role for this important film. Im sure he never meant to cause such horror and shock to the survivors. I bet he felt pretty bad that his role had such a horrific effect on the survivors.
I think that story is mostly a myth. I've looked it up. Goeth does not look very much like Ralph Fiennes in any of the available photos. Goeth was morbidly obese and just plain didn't look much like him. I also can't find any verification about this alleged panic attack. I think it's just a story someone made up and people latched onto it and have ran with it for years. If a legend is more interesting than the truth, most tend to go with the legend and make it their own truth.
I've met very few American women your age who have your respect and interest in world events. You have an 'old soul' Dasha and please take that as the highest compliment.
What an incredible actor Ben Kingsley is...watch him in "Sexy Beast" as a comparison (!)
Love Dasha's reactions, so heart felt
Or Ghandi! The guy has range!
God broke the mold when He created Sir Ben Kingsley. There will never be another.
Dasha - You didn't seem to notice that Schindler was also in Star Wars Episode I, so I am mentioning it here. He got Anakin out of slavery (but not his mother).
As a german kid, it was so hard to watch this movie the first time, imagining that maybe your own grandpa had to do such things,
and it is still hard to watch to this day.
One of my Opas (grandpas) was in the Wehrmacht, he lost his leg in the Ukraine and never talked to me about the war.
The other one was a AA-gunner in the Netherlands, at the Atlantikwall.
@@VadulTharys Thank you so much for your kind words, you brought tears to my eyes.

I can relate to that. Though I was only 6 when my grandfather died, but my mother told me, that he never talked about the war either. He was a 1st Lieutenant in the German Navy btw.
@@phil0934 There has never been such a rank as "First Lieutenant" in either the Kriegsmaine or the Bundesmarine. It's like saying, "My grandfather was first baseman for the Dallas Cowboys when they won the Stanley Cup."
@@bungholeshagnasty Or the eqivalent. If that makes you feel better.
Before Dasha’s reaction: Oh this is gonna be painful.
After Dasha’s reaction: As always, a very heartfelt and real reaction. Thank you.
I'm British. Both my grandfathers fought in the second world war. Any nation could have been the nation that committed these atrocities. All races and nationalities, and any group of humans has the potential for evil. The danger is in demonising the perpetrators. Of calling them "monsters". Of identifying them as other-than-us. By doing that we are not recognising the danger and the potential for evil within all our own nations/groups. They were not monsters. They were not even "evil people". They were human beings, as are we all, that committed these horrendous acts of evil. Thats a very important difference. They were in fact "us" as human beings and we all have to work to make sure we never repeat this.
Dasha, you have an incredible grasp of the English language - even figurative language, and idioms!
Also, i appreciate your compassion! You have a beautiful heart!
Please keep in mind: Hitler killed six million Jews; Stalin murdered some twenty million Russians; Mao-Tse-Dong murdered as many as one hundred million Chinese. The horrors continue.
This is honestly Steven Spielberg’s best film.
The "Oh No's" from Dasha are going to be of epic proportions
One of the heartbreaking films but a masterpiece ❤️
41:49 "I... could have... gotten one more _person."_
Oh, god. This scene always _gets_ me. I mean we've seen Schindler _sad_ in this movie, but this is the only scene we actually see him _break down._ Easily the saddest scene in an _extraordinarily sad movie._
"I need to rethink my whole life" is the perfect reaction to this movie.
Your observations of the events portrayed in this great film... the minor details (example, you noticed... the teeth for gold or that they put the grave stones as the roadway, what they were doing with pricking their fingers for blood to put on their cheeks!!!, so many reactions never know what they are doing but you do!!! ), you saw so much more than those many years older than you ! I applaud you! you have impressed me with your empathy, your humanity, your observations and true compassion. you give me hope. God Bless!
Btw Dasha, I know you use patreon mostly to pick your movies. I'm a Jewish boy descendant of holocaust survivors so I grew up amongst many survivors, have talked to them extensively and you can still see it in their eyes. Its amazing how they overcame so much and still went out to have families and learn to smile again. If I may I have a list of holocaust movies, some heavy, some ok to watch. They are not easy so dont watch them all at once. Spread it out and understand you are doing a big service to humanity when you watch one and teach strangers about hte horrors. Here is a list:
1. Escape from Sobibor
2. The Grey Zone
3. Out of the Ashes
4. The Pianist
5. Defiance
6. Son of Saul
7. Life is Beautiful
8. Europa Europa
9. The Boy if the Stripled Pajamas
Europa the Last Battle?
it was a privilege reviewing this film in your company - i admire what you are doing very much - watching films that are not easy on the emotions and which show horrific events in graphic reality. i sincerely hope you take time out to watch a comedy once in a while just to show the world isn't bad all the time.
So sweet, I love your humanity, Dasha. Rejuvenates my faith in People.
It has to be said that Ralph Fiennes did some great acting here, to portray Amon Goeth as being such an evil psychopath. He was nominated for an Oscar for that role, but didn't win. I wonder sometimes if playing that role was a heavy mental burden on him.
Spielberg made the little girl in the red jacket promise to not watch the movie until she was 18. She broke that promise at 11 and was horrified & emotionally scarred. But she watched it again at 18 and said that she was proud to be a part of such a powerful & important film.
I'm very proud of you for having reacted to this movie. It's not an easy movie to watch but I feel like everyone should see it at least once....cause once is really all it takes. Kinda like Saving Private Ryan. It'll stay with you for the rest of your life.
I try to explain you shower scene: Didascalic said "Auschwitz", but to be exactly that place was called "Auschwiz number two": Birkenau. The biggest extermination camp never built during WWII. There was two type of installation in Birkenau. When a transport arrived to camp nazis made a selection: the few people who was considered "able to work" was sent to "Bad und Disinfestaktion", letterally: "Bath and Disinfestaction", a place called "Sauna". This place had real shower with real water where prisoners was shaved, and received a tatoo with number of captivity and became slaves who suffered the hell until they were to weak to work. After that they were sent to gas chamber. The other installation, was the "Sonderbeadlung installation", letterally: "Special treatment installation": the gas chambers. Every gas chamber was built inside a crematorium, the crematory where the bodies where burnt. The gas chambers had fake shower, but gas doesn't excape from there. Gas used in Birkenau was called "Zyklon B" that is solid a solid crystal of arsenic product for kill parasite like lices, crabs ad rats. When it came in contact with the oxgen it produces a gas that is poisonous and lethal. Gas was pour from a window on the roof. You can say the creamtorium in the last part of this scene in which tou can see man, child and women go down to the scale. There was 4 giant installation in Birkenau, and as you can see when camera hold on chimney that smoke change color: when smoke change color mean that a body in burning. Auschwitz was liberated from Red Army on 27th January 1945. Until tha days 2 milion of people was deportaited to Auschwitz: there were on 15. 000 survivors, 1.3 milion of people was killed in that place.
Great movie. As bad as the things as you see in the movie it was much worse in reality. The Nazi didn't just kill. They starved and worked people to death. They killed babies children woman and man with no mercy. Those who survive look liked skeletons. I would love to see You react to Its a Wonderful Life.
Love to you Dasha and to all Russian people who wish for peace🙏
Russia's help in winning the war at that time was very appreciated.
One thing you can say, the Germans learned a lesson after the war. Not all countries are willing to totally change.
Seeing all the people Schindler saved at the grave was emotional enough to break anyone... But seeing his wife, now old and in a wheelchair...
That broke me beyond repair, because that right there is true love.
After all the years since he left Emilie in Argentina, she never stopped caring about Oskar. Not even after he died in 1974.
And remember: this scene is the first time Emilie saw the grave of her husband... after 19 long years since he died.
P.S.: yes, that is his real wife, Emilie Schindler, she died in 2001. Spielberg himself arranged that she could travel to Israel to the grave of her husband so that she could finally see her husband's final resting place. Her exact words were: "At last we meet again... I have received no answer, my dear, I do not know why you abandoned me... But what not even your death or my old age can change is that we are still married, this is how we are before God.
I have forgiven you everything, everything." 😢
Clicked on this so fast, fave reactor watching my favourite movie.
Love to see you react and being affected by a masterpiece of film making that tells a vital, if awful, piece of human history.
Dasha, considering English is not your first language, your comments and insight as events unfolded on the screen were exceptional. I found your displays of emotion during many of the very upsetting scenes very moving. It gives me the impression that you are a young lady with a very kind heart.❤🙏
I'm proud of you dasha it's a very emotional true story to react to it your brave ❤
This was THE best reaction to this movie that I've seen so far! I can tell she really, really got it. I've watched this film countless times and it never ceases to break me. Dasha, well done! Your review gets ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I remember watching this film in history class and at the end of it my history teacher said to us " if we were to observe 1 minute of silence for each victim of the holocaust. We would be silent for 11.5 years" if that doesn't put into prospective of how many people who were murder during the holocaust I don't know what does.
People always assume that he has this huge character arc because he doesn't want to be acknowledged and it makes him angry and he lashes out when people are sent to him to do other family members but he wasn't lashing out in anger, he was terrified. He was constantly in fear that what he was doing would be discovered and everyone would be killed. Not just him, but his family, friends, all of his workers, and he wouldn't be able to continue saving people. I honestly give him tons of credit for not losing his shit and threatening to kill people that are brazenly jeopardizing the entire operation. Every time someone shows up with their grandparents it had to cross his mind that everyone is apparently sharing what he's doing and given what was happening, could easily be coerced into saving their own lives by throwing him and all who count on him under the bus. There must have been so many times fear overwhelmed him and he almost shut the whole thing down, but he never did. I think he was just highly aware of his exposure, but still always put his neck out to save as many as he could, even in the beginning
Perhaps the most important movie ever made and one everyone should see at least once in their lifetime. Unfortunately this sort of inhumanity was not just exclusive to the Nazi regime Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot are all responsible for millions of deaths among others and ethnic cleansing and genocide are sadly common throughout history.
You get it.. thank you. There are good people out there and chances are if you are reading this you are too. Love your neighbor and reject politics.
Dasha, I wish you were the President of Russia, seriously, I think you would love your people more than anything.
Lye can be dangerously corrosive when mixed with water: But the two make an effective cleaning agent when carefully combined.
This movie kills me every time I watch it it heart wrenching great reaction 👍
In the theater, when the credits started, nobody moved, and nobody spoke. Everyone was close to tears, and it was very overwhelming.
The engineer who got shot, even though she was right? She did do something wrong. She dared approach a German officer and talk to him as an equal when she was supposed to be a slave. I think that was the reason the German officer, in his twisted mind, shot her. Thank you for your reaction. It was very compelling.
That reasoning is far too rational. The officer (Göth) was inconvinienced by the issue that she brought up, and was already resentful for other things. That was enough for him to act out in rage, expressing his power and violence over people. It doesn't really matter who, or why.
@@ollikoskiniemi6221 That could also be a reason.
A movie that should not ever be forgotten in our lifetime , or any future lifetime!
Spielberg made this movie for his mother. Who lived through many of these atrocities of German persecution. He refused to even consider making this movie for the better part of 15 years. He thought the responsibility was to great a burden to bear, especially if he got the outcome was not his best, even better than his best.
