The odds of multiple guns misfiring multiple times like this are so ridiculous that you just know it wasn't this man's time to go
It's actually not necessarily a coincidence. Smallarms production also relied (edit: relied partially) on forced labour. So the build quality was at least dodgy and some parts were intentionally faulty as a result of sabotage. The motivation to craft reliable guns is low if it's likely to be used against oneself.
@@Darilon12 Thats not really the case till very late war. Im guessing both if their firing pins were broken some how or obstructed which is crazy
@@issstari954 from 42 onward forced labour was used. Plus the second gun had a faulty magazine as it's not feeding. The gun is not ejecting so there's were no round fed into the chamber.
@@Darilon12 Not debating forced labour arguing forced labour for guns which didnt start till late 44 when everything else was bombed
@Issstari are you referring to the large scale use of labour from kz camps in arms industries? There were already other forced labour programs before. Smallarms factories in occupied Poland were already getting some of their workforce from the surrounding ghettos as early as 42.
This was independent of the intensity of bomb raids. Those lead to moving production to subsurface factories or into secluded areas. Forced labour became a necessity due to the rising shortage of manpower.
Anyway, I just wanted to point out that there might be a historical reason for what we see. And a bit of irony within it. It's speculation on a movie scene mostly base on memories of eye witnesses. So we shouldn't bash our heads over it.
Have a nice day.

Can’t imagine the fear of having to hear a weapon misfire just inches from your head, with every rechamber of the round it could work but yet it didn’t.
Talk of the direct intervention of God
@@theemirofjaffa2266 But guns sometimes fail. This movie presents two guns failed, but the only account I can find is one gun. It's really not so amazing.

So the question is we really trying to kill him or motivating him to work harder

Well,that was what life was like for any soldier in the "einsatzgruppen" death squad.taking a human life was like swatting a fly for them.there conscience was fucked up

@@trivunkonjik7413 you have no clue if he is even german and you're just like him claiming they should've wiped every last german. I agree its fucked up what he said, but clearly he's trolling.
Trivun konjik How many orthodox priests did the Bolsheviks murder? How many Polish and Ukrainians did they murder? How many Soviet citizens were sent to the Gulags never to be seen again? You have no fucking clue, do you!
I always find it intriguing that the rabbi didn't bother to explain to Goth that his machine was being recalibrated from the get go, because he probably knew the lunatic wouldn't care anyways
Speaking out of turn would have been enough of a reason for that psychopath Goeth to shoot him. Not that Goeth needed a reason to murder someone.
@@MrAlexkyra Goeth was a psychopath who loved to kill. He did it because he was bored.
@@MrAlexkyra At the same time, not speaking out of turn might have implied that the worker wasn't scared of him, which would anger Goeth and warrant an execution. The movie actually somewhat downplays this ''random killing'' nature of Goeth, it was so well known that the Nazis themselves put him on trial for murder of camp prisoners (that was a minor charge amongst various financial crimes he had committed, but still a charge). That in its own would probably imply he killed randomly, a lot.
@@colonelarmfeldt8572 there’s a scene where Helen Hirsch is talking with Schindler then that there’s no set of rules that the Jews in the camp can follow that will keep them safe. Goeth did kill at random. He was a cruel, sadistic sociopath and the real life Goeth did things so horrible that they’re beyond the conception of a normal human being
If you claim to be the smartest man in the room, then you are indeed the idiot.
His next visit will be the pistols factory. 😀
LOL
I Gota some workorrs coming in. I gott to make roooom.
...make me a pistol.
Aight, normally I don’t much like jokes regarding Nazi’s but ... alright, you got me
LOL, thats funny
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even for professional actors, some of the scenes in this movie must have been a real ordeal, emotionally, to act.
Those firearms must have been made in China!
Detectivefiction I agree
they were made by Schindler, he didnt want them to work...
Gay actors
I have heard people who visited Auschwitz say it was an astounding experience!
1:51 Never noticed the detail in the back before. They see someone gets executed and the start running, most likely to avoid getting drawn into it too.
Me too.
The tension created in this scene is outstanding! The total lack of empathy contrasted by desperation and resolve. Amazing
The poor man's face sickens me to my stomach. Terrific acting
Thomas Liénart exactly what I was feeling as well..
This is Spielberg you are talking about my friend
The best director to ever walk the earth..
I think he is Jewish who's very proud in his heritage too
Makes wonder how many brilliant people that could change the face of humanity the nazis murdered
He's not that bad looking, jesus have some sympathy.
The director has nothing to do with this dudes acting talent

this is not funny in any situations , this was the real deal , I dont see the comedy in it ....
@@faves000 hello this is the internet
@@faves000 I agree with you, it is in bad taste to make fun of the situation..
"Squidward, you wouldnt want to talk with human resources...would ya?"
1:52 Look at the party of workers in the background, coming in from the left. They're walking relatively slow, yet when they catch a glimpse of what's going on, they sprint away ... they weren't going to risk being next. 🤔
I missed that.
Would you want to, just calmy walk down a street, while a person is being executed, would you?
Why you still use the Apartheid flag in your profile picture?.
I hadn't noticed that before!
You are right but the trauma of the scene is so deep makes it almost impossible for viewers like me to skip away my eyes from the gun and the Rabbi.
This is what happens at Amazon if you don't process orders fast enough.
Lmao
😆
wow, you made me re-think my prime membership
🤣🤣🤣🤣💣
I have heard horror stories about that place. Those are the type of phucking azzholes that need to be shot.
His gun malfunctioned. Interesting coincidence. When the real Amon Goeth was executed by the Poles, the rope they used to hang him broke twice before got it right. They filmed his execution.
It's because he was so fat by the time they executed him.
i wouldn't be surprised if the rope broke on purpose. Goeth has carried out so many executions where he did just that that I wouldn't be surprised that the executioner took care of karma after hearing the testimony at the trial. And to be honest, Goeth would have had to be killed and revived 1000 times to roughly make up for the damage.
What's truly savage and horrifying about this scene is Goet already knew the man wasn't doing a reasonable amount of work and going to kill him before he even started instructing the building of the hinge, smh!
They actually do these mind games constantly. They already know what final result will be before the interaction and they feel power giving false hopes to them. We can see it in more scenes. Although one smart kid outplayed him (chiken scene).
PD. A very similar performace also showing this attitude can be found in the film Pan's Labyrinh with Captain Vidal (actor is Sergi López). He plays the same role as Fiennes and both actors actually look similar, although Sergi was 10 years older.
Maybe he wanted to see if he needs to shoot the manager who put an inconpetent worker to making hinges too...
Should of told him that is a new box to fill and it was like number 10 of the day
"you are doing good"
He says whipe already planning on killing him no matter what. Its almost super villain levels of evil. Nearly passing into the realm of ridiculous.
@@N3ttwerk then he'd just say, 'Are you telling me my judgement is wrong? How dare you talk back to me - now I need to shoot you for insubordination as well.'
He showed this attitude with the architect girl. He doesn't care at all about the logic or the issue itself - this is just about feeling powerful to him - he's a psychopath.
What I love most about this scene when he is making the hinges and the commandant has the stop watch on him with his life hanging in the balance and the two German staff officers are standing just talking like they are saying; So what did you eat for dinner last nite, Strudel? Yaah. Was it good? Yaah
steve Fowler did you notice the two groups of people running past them when they were trying to shoot the rabbi?
That's the thing. It's not the brutality that makes the SS so scary, it's their complete nonchalant behaviour about it. It's almost like thye treat each life as just another mess in the kitchen that must be cleaned.
@@goldengirl5165 I noticed that too. First they walk, later on they run. I think, if they would not have run, they may be caught by the SS'ers and also shot dead, because they witnessed that the SS'ers tried to kill the rabbi.
The SS will always find an excuse to kill someone. How small it is.
@@jujuria13 This movie is propaganda... Exaggerated bullshit...
Ya
This is one of my favorite scenes. The setting, the actors, the circumstance, everything just hits me deep. I can just imagine how frightening it is for the Jews at that time. Scared that any moment can be your last
There is a special place in Hell for all Nazis.
I just noticed Goethe's pistol changes when he's walking away.
He pulls out a secondary semi-auto to try and shoot Lewartow, but in the shot after where he's walking away, it changed to a revolver.
@Osel Somar Actually, there were some incidents in WW2 where German soldiers did use revolvers - either by chance or by choice - though those were pretty unusual. Hermann Goering, the commander of the Luftwaffe, had a Smith & Wesson Model K .38 Special revolver when he surrendered to troops of the US 36th Infantry Division in 1945.
@Osel Somar In the movie the pistol is changed to a revolver at 2:53. I really do not understand this small mismanagement's.
@@princeigorash Clearly the scene was not shot in one go and therefore there was no continuity between the takes. As the semi-automatic pistol changes to an revolver when its dropped to the floor, its surprising the actors did not notice this change but if the scene was shot and both takes weeks apart they might not have noticed or taken notice that both pistols were different.
Revolvers can be semi auto.
Semi auto has to do with the firing mechanism, not the loading mechanism.
And another officer picks the revolver and says "Strange, ha?"
I would also be surprised if I saw the miracle of turning semi-auto into the revolver..
“If this factory ever makes a shell that can be fired, I will be very unhappy.”
"I'm a bit confused, perhaps you could help me..." Love that sentence
This is a true story. If you read the book Schindlers Ark (which the movie was based on) the rabbi tells the author that goeth was yelling in fury when both guns failed to murder him.
but there is a mistake
The Kingslayer wdym there is a mistake?
Why didn't Goeth just use one of his guard's guns if this is true??...
1:51 this scene feels so much more authentic when the enemy just goes with his character and pulls the trigger barely a couple seconds after that worker kneels down. I don't know too many directors who'd choose this angle of shooting this scene.
You can see the rage in he's face when his trying to fire the gun
Try seeing it from his point of vuew
The SS had him examined by their own doctors towards the end of the war. They said he was mentally ill. They wanted to charge him with tons of crimes, but things were getting chaotic towards the end and they cut in loose instead. This scene shows how mentally unstable he is. He's smart, conniving, menacing... but also clearly disturbed
@@ab19201920 Well at least in real life and in the movie the Polish hung him
he was one of the greatest sadists who ever lived. witnesses reported that he always looked satisfied when he killed someone. if it didn't work, he went into a rage. This was done very well in the movie.
"I'm a bit confused, perhaps you can help me..." that's how I start my sentence with my students 5 mins before the lesson has finished.
My heart skipped a beat every time the trigger was pulled.God knows how the poor man felt.
lol
When your entire life flashes before you several times before you are flung back into the present with your heart looking to leap out of your chest, absolute terror in its zenith.
My teacher showed us this movie when I was 12 years old. I had never seen anything like it before, nothing even close. I was actually under the impression it was real events like a documentary we were watching. This was the most powerful scene for me. The beauty of his movements while he was working so fast to save his own existence. He would not betray his own ideals of workmanship even in the face of such evil. It wasn't even happiness or calm I felt when the guns would not go off. I just felt total melancholy to know these things have happened between people. Such a loss of innocents, and such a selfish betrayal of the germans own humanity.
12 years is too young age to watch this. Your teacher made big mistake
Your teacher was seriously misguided to show this film to 12 year olds and both that member of staff and school board should be held accountable for this.
@@paoloc3318 i watched it also at school more or less at that age here in Italy.
@@Steampunksaly in Italy it’s normal too. I remember i had watched this during that age also more or less
@@paoloc3318 Hey Paolo stick to lego
I find it funny how I'm just now looking back and remembering Schindler saying that the bullets aren't meant to fire🤦🏽♀️😂
This technique works with teenagers at Taco Bell.
"Make me ein Taco"
A lot of people have commented on the fluke of having multiple guns misfire. There was some luck involved, but it mostly comes down to weapon maintenance. These guns need to be cleaned and maintained frequently because there are a lot of parts which make the bullet fire. If even one part isn't ready, there is a click but no fire. Spielberg is showing that Goeth and his men aren't really soldiers in the sense that they don't fight on the front and they aren't looking after their weapons.
Pistol whips the dude with a small semi automatic, drops a revolver as he stalks off.
@Zannekin you're fucking dumb 😂
That's just a mistake in the movie, we see him with a pistol and just after with a revolver
I remember watching this in the theater and my heartbeat/stress level was as high as it was in the into scene for Saving Private Ryan. Ezra Dagan (the Rabbi) was excellent in this.
How could they witness such a miracle - 13 jams over two guns consecutively - and not wake up...?
Ask the 50 million dead in WW2 if it was a "miracle"
Incredibly infinitesimal odds. And yet it DID happen.
Strange how his backup pistol changes from an automatic to a revolver after he hits the Rabbi over the head.
Clearly the Rabbi has mystical powers!
0:05 the hand immediately quickens in putting those things in the box, that person really wanted to avoid the officers
if there's one thing that irritates me it's when they call the Nazis monsters (meaning they're not human beings like themselves) there's nothing more silly to say; the problem is precisely that they were human...too human
Why? Not all humans are monsters if hardly any. So yes they were monsters. Most humans would never act in such a way
Well, this is a dumb take.
@@andrewjoyce9038 Lol, you must be extremely naive. Everyone is capable of killing or at least supporting it. Just the right ideology is needed.
Every click of the gun is a heartbeat of the priest, longing of life.

That's probably why it didn't fire. Stupid gun couldn't even decide what it wanted to be one minute to the next.
I just watched Schiendler's List. This was my favorite scene. I realized from the last part, he was a rabbi. He was saved by God.
Actually, he was saved by the writers.
@@user-yo8ab1ys9e Hahaha
Schindler was miscalibrating the manufacturing machines on purpose. It is likely the guns were defective for that reason.
Or by evil. Anyone who follows the Talmud is evil. Like the Nazis were evil.
He was saved by the holiest Rabbi of all Rabbis. Jesus Christ. God in human flesh. He has mercy even on those who mock him.
The sound of the slide getting louder and louder near the end is terrifying
Such a brilliant scene, the soldier discuss whilst his life is in their hands, deciding. Such is the fear, he waited until he was on his knees to tell the soldier that it wasn't his fault at all.....sublime.
This scene is so sad, surely he could have found a working revolver of another guard?
That one actor is a genius, and it’s in my professional film analysis opinion that his shoes should’ve won a Grammy for literally best underrated actor.
I thought Grammy Awards were just for music and audio books.
Perhaps the firearms were unloaded since, you know, everytime they pulled the slide back nothing ever came out lol
👍
One of the things I didn't catch for a long time is the groups of people in the background seeing what was going on and then they start running to get as far from it as possible
Am I the only one who didn't see any cartridges(shells) ammo being ejected as he pulled the slide
I saw. Just one did, by the way.
For me, this is one the most terrifying scenes in the entire movie. It perfectly depicts that, to Nazis, executing Jews was merely technical procedure.
It's fiction.
@@ProfessorGroyper It's a fiction that perfectly depicted the reality of concentration camps.
Absolutely terrifying scene.
Notice that the second pistol he uses is not the same one that he throws when he is leaving, that is a revolver. Even this movies have such little mistakes.
Either Goethe forgot to load his weapons with bullets and didn't want to admit it and his fellow officers didn't want to mention it, or that rabbis time wasn't done yet so a supernatural intervention happened... What are the odds of both service pistols not working on the same occasion
Sure there were bullets.
The bullets dude
What are the odds of both guns being loaded from the same box of defective ammunition?
@@robertboily9030 No, I think the idea was that Goeth didn’t take good enough care of his pistols and clean them, so they didn’t work.
Where was your 'supernatural intervention' for the 6,000,000 who died ?
Reminds me a lot of the bosses where I work.
You can save money and stop going to work.
*Watches as he racks the slide over and over with no rounds coming out*
Oof, you can hear the "dunk" from when the pistol frame impacts his skull
Oh, I'm a bit confused. Perhaps, you can help me. What I don't understand is that you multiply pull the gun bolt carrier and it doesn't throw the cartridge out.
The pistols back then were designed to only eject empty shells the camber was big enough to throw out a loaded shell
A legitimate question- Why didn't the junior officers offer their gun when they saw Amon's was not working?
Because it's a movie
@@hamzamahmood9565 But this scene is largely as reported. The only difference I know of is Amon trying a second gun. I didn't see that in the account.
Survival is a strong instinct. But when they let you hold a hammer and get within striking distance so arrogantly sure of their superiority...swing for Valhalla.
One of those days at work where nothing goes right.
Love his eyes.
This actually happened... Imagine how much luck there was involved for Rabbi to survive that incident.
I also read this happened in real life . I feel God was involved. Not luck..

It was well acted.
@@joshblair5021 as in, don't go all out when you can't really.
wow this man just broke fidel castros record.
The scene is a bit flawed due to no cartridges ejecting with each slide pull. Or am I to believe that three officers don't know when they have unloaded pistols.
Good that I found this. I almost forgot all the guilt.
Ótima sena,genialidade cinematográfica, atores espectaculares.
Cena com "c"
Whenever I see this scene, I burst into tears. May be because he is nearly at my father’s age.
I seriously this that this might be Spielberg’s best movie.
its amazing that after the first misfire they switch to business as usual mode like nothing special happens. im like hey youre pointing a gun at someone head and pull the tigger.
I’m no expert, but if no bullets are falling out when you re-chamber it you may have no bullets in it at all, Herr Colonel 😂
“Very well then you can kneel down too”
Even the guns itself had a shred of humanity
Did anyone catch the movie mistake in the scene? He is trying to shoot him with a semi automatic hand gun and at the end of the scene the gun he drops on the ground is a revolver.
Every time he racks the slide there's no round ejected, maybe that's why it won't fire 😒
just relaised after all these years that there is a blooper. Second pistol up close was different then the one he drops on the ground! One is semi-auto, the other is a revolver!
James Cronin Exactly, they should have used dummy cartridges or spent blanks instead of just giving the actor an empty gun.
No ,he gets rid of the first one then pulls another from his pocket.
Lol You are not suppose to notice that... "gott himmel" Ed Thompson
While there's no music in this scene, ever notice how the machinery gets louder during the last few reloads? Builds on the suspense a bit.
The scariest part is them casually talking about the malfunction while trying to straight up kill someone
"the machines were being recalibrated this morning"
Next time you should perhaps try STARTING with that bit? 🤔
