Everyone needs to have watched this movie. The "one more person" scene always destroys me.
and Roots. and Embrace of the Serpent.
One more person needs to watch this movie.
Anyone who can watch the One More Person sequence and not be moved...is someone I don't ever want to meet.
Its one of the greatest scenes ever shot.....
Still gets me
A little story about this film. When Spielberg asked John Williams to compose, he told him the story this film would tell, and Williams told Spielberg that someone better than him should compose it, because Williams didn't feel worthy. Spielberg replied "I would ask someone better, but they're all dead." And I think it goes without saying, Williams kills it in this movie
Wow thanks for that story did not know about that.
@@nickflix8657 Nick, this is your best video
He absolutely does. It's the most haunting theme I've ever heard, and Itzak Perlman creates ABSOLUTE MAGIC on his violin

When my mom saw this in theatre everyone just sat in silence for 15 minutes after it ended.. she said even leaving the theatre and driving home no one spoke
I can’t imagine seeing this in a theatre.
I also saw it in a theatre, we all were crying...and everybody that was on the movie theatre were so silent in the hall leaving the it...
I saw it in the theater when it first came out and had the same experience. Usually most leave during the credits but after this one almost everybody just sat there. Apparently it was a common occurrence because the cleaning staff did not come in to start cleaning until the lights went on. Usually they start while the credits roll.
I had the same experience when I saw it when it first came out.
When I was in high school, I went with friends to see this movie.
The same thing happened in the theater we were in...
Silence.
Nick. My grandmother was a Holocaust survivor in the camps and survived. Your reaction to this REALLY hit me and I'd love to shake your hand as a literal descendant of the people you watched in this.
That is incredible your grandmother is a survivor of such a tragic event! This movie really made me feel so bad for anyone who had to go through this inhuman act! Thanks for watching and glad I could do this film service!
@@nickflix8657 Always, friend. Remember, in the hearts of those tortured, they sent their teachings and blessings to their children and grandchildren. I would gladly stand up towards against a Neo Nazis knowing the strength and heart my anscensors carried...
@@nickflix8657 "If I could just save one more" speaks so many volumes because it does matter. Bless your beautiful heart, Nick.
Wow! That's incredible about your grandmother being a survivor. My grandmother was German and she told me stories about the events of WW2. Her parents, my great-grandparents, hid Jewish families under their floor in their house. They lived in an old wooden house in the woods (dirt poor) and they lived in constant fear of being found out. It's truly despicable what happened to the Jews. Thank God that your grandmother survived or you wouldn't be here with us. God bless
@@Kfantasy_98 bless your grandmother for doing her part to save innocent lives 💚
24:21 "Oh that looks beautiful."
*Me knowing what that "Snow" actually really is:* "Oh Lord..."
Lmao at least he kept it in so props to him
Fun, or terrible, fact about the brilliance of Ralph Fiennes in this movie. A survivor named Mila Pfefferberg was introduced to Ralph Fiennes on the set. She began crying and shaking uncontrollably as he reminded her too much of the real Amon Göth.
oof
Holy crap. That's damned intense.
He really was brilliant.
That's a good thing for acting, but a bad thing in real life.
Also his austrian-german accent is really good. Usually I cringe whenever I hear english native speakers try to put on a german accent. It never sounds convincing. There is more to it than just butchering the "th" and overemphesizing certain vowels.
You had a very Human reacrion to this. Never lose that heart.
I plan on staying the same haha
If anyone could watch this movie and not shed a tear or two I'd want to be very far away from that person, because they're not human.
@@leslie2149 Neo Nazis. Conspiracy theorists.
@@leslie2149 I could not agree any more than I already do much respect ✊🏽
@@leslie2149 Emotion vs Intelligence
As hard as it is to watch, I'm so glad this movie doesn't pull any punches. It's important people see what happened and be horrified by it.
Agree on that final scene with Liam Neeson. It's heartbreaking. Even just thinking about it makes me teary-eyed.
I totally agree with you. I’ll just add that stuff like this is happening today still. This very day. This very moment as I write.
Crazy that Spielberg left some scenes out because they where to horrofying (i.e. people getting killed by dogs).
Some people brag about all their accomplishments, real or imagined, and expect everyone to revere them. They think they've done everything when in reality they've done nothing. REAL heroes like Oskar Schindler wonder if they could have saved one more. They think they haven't done enough when they've done so much. Or like Desmond Doss (Hacksaw Ridge) they keep pushing themselves to save just one more.
The movie is exactly what a movie about genocide should be, it should hit you so bad and destroy you
"The one who saves one life, saves the world entire."
I think it's important to remember that the Germans of the 30s and 40s were not some special category of humans who were uniquely evil. This is what human beings will do to each other under the right conditions. Almost all of us, under those circumstances, would have gone along with it too.
That is exactly the point. The most saddest thing about ourselves, we are mostly quite despicable beings. But the dehumanising can be reversed, as the movie would show us - at the end Schindler was crying over the lost souls and speaking about "person".
This is one of the best statements about this film. Yes, they were just people, as capable as any of us at being horrible.
@Justin Allred Anything can be justified to a utilitarian when utopia is on the horizon.
But honestly, I don't think we're at that point yet.
That's what Voltaire meant when he said "Those that can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities"
No. No. Absolutely not. This is just plain wrong. The point you missed IS THAT THE NAZIS WERE TARGETING JEWS. So no, not all people would behave in this way, because they were targeting Jews. Please rethink your comment. And get back to me. (I have specifically not made this personal, as I do not think you have thought this through and picked up on the historical messages of the film). You have discounted very quickly who the subjects were as victims in this film.
I live in Germany, i was Born Here, we Learn in school about the Things happened in world war 2, we all Here are responsible with what happened in the past. Racism is wrong in any aspect and i Wish that we all can live together on this Ball of dirt in Peace. I dont get why there are still people Out there on this Planet wishing Times Like that Back even in my own Home country. Your reaction educates people. It Shows that this time is nothing to Wish Back. It Shows that Nobody should Joke about that time.
Thanks for this honest reaction, you are doing gods Work Dude 👍🏻
This is a really hard to watch but I only broke when Schindler said "I could have got more" at that moment I just felt everything I was holding in just come out finally
Just one more person. . . Breaks my heart, I'm not a member of the Jewish People, but I'd not have survived for other reasons ( Romany, Jehovah's witness, twin, dark hair and eyes) . What a powerful film. You should read Five Chimneys by Olga Lengyel. She's a survivor.
When you see all the descendants that exist because of the Schindler Jews, it really hits home how big an impact that six million people are. Countless generations, and their potential impact on our world, were lost with them.
32:56 The real life victims are also accompanied by the actors who played them.
Or their descendants
@@RicardoJoseReza Or their surviving spouses, as in Itzhak Stern's case.
@@jenniferschillig3768 True. Great observation
Perfect reaction to pretty much one of the greatest movies ever made.
They should play this movie in high schools ..it’s part of history and people need to know what happened so those millions lives are never forgotten
Agree, I was fortunate enough to have a History Teacher who recognized that it was important for us High School Students to truly understand what happened so he played this film during class.
My school did. My Junior history class was actually where I saw this movie for the first time. He also introduced us to the book "Johnny Get Your Gun" which was equally as scarring. More teachers need to include these kinds of stories in their syllabus; if its hard to talk about, it needs to be learned so it never happens again.
I watched this in my 9th grade English class. I had to get a permisssion slip signed by my parents to watch it. I also read the book Night by Elie Wiesel.
My dance class was shown this in High School and we had to compose a dance to it. At first we were glad to just have a break and watch a movie but it turned into something that we became interested in and sad to.
I thought they already do
You cried because you're a good human. Don't ever apologize for feeling real emotion. You look fine afterwards.You are a very good looking young man!It was a good review of a very difficult film to watch & take in.
I didn't see this movie until a few years ago. I never felt the need. Growing up Jewish, I was inundated for over a decade with tales of the horror, the inhumanity. I knew full well what had been done to my people. I didn't need to keep reliving it.
As I got older, though, I did gain a new interest in that moment in history. Not in the hellscape of the final solution, but in the conditions and rhetoric that allowed these monsters to gain power in the first place. To ensure something like this never happens again.
And I gotta tell you, what I have seen in this country over the last few years is eerily familiar. We did recently dodge a major bullet, but we need to be vigilant to ensure it does not ricochet back.
I watched many movies of the Holocaust from a Catholic perspective. St Maximilien Kolbe for example. I was always taught of great martyrs who gave their lives as well
I disagree...we have seen it fester greatly and we only dodged the bullet for 4 years. The media in the US have brainwashed the people into believing a time of unparalleled prosperity and personal freedoms was equal to a dictatorship. Indeed, the leftist elements in the US have become radicalized. It is they who participated to harass public officials, shoot up charity parties, gunned down political opponents, have a prolonged series of riots where they destroyed billions in property, destroyed mostly minority businesses, set fire to city blocks, brought in anarchy and mob rule, attacked Senators in their own homes, targeted the police, destroyed status and defaced monuments, stifled free speech, etc.
You would either have to be completely ignorant......or brainwashed like those during W2 to believe it is the attackers who are the victims and the victims who are the problem.
Signed,
One whose family lived up close to the atrocities of WW2 in Poland.
@@whatareyoulookingat908 You need to seriously diversify your news sources.
It really is scary how close to the brink of repeating this our society is.
@@harmonicpies Why? So he can watch CNN and learn the riots where police stations are burned are "mostly peaceful"? WAKE UP.
I break down almost every time at the very end, specifically when Liam Neeson leaves the flower on Oskar’s grave. That Image of him paying respects to the man that he was portraying is just too heartbreaking, I can’t help but cry.
You really are just so likeable! You are so authentic with your reactions and your editing is always done pretty well to amazing! Obvious you care about movies and you immerse yourself in them more than any other reactor!
And that’s kinda the point, you are one of the special reactors that stands out because of your emotions. You are able to show us so much through your eyes and expressions, and I have heard you say how hard it is to edit yourself a couple times, and I get it, sometimes looking at yourself is hard, but you really are amazing!
This reaction was edited beautifully, you were respectful of the event and even though you didn’t need to blur out as much of the deaths as you did, completely respect your decision. And your personality really shined in this reaction so wanted to leave this for you! Please never stop this, it’s obvious you are an incredible reactor and keep sharing your love of movies!
Well said.

There is NO shame in shedding tears for something that moves your soul ! This film should be shown in every secondary school !
In 2012 I had the absolute privilege to meet Holocaust survivor Dr Matrin Stern who spent time at two concentration camps- Westerbork and Theresiennstad. Heartbreaking to hear his story and it so saddening that under specific circumstances, how dark humanity turns on one another :c
My grandparents went through this. They only told us the details at the very end of their lives. The shock of their experience still sits with me 20 years on. I deem it necessary viewing to teach us what evil & hatred can do.
Thank you for watching. I know it wasn’t easy. I’m sorry it hurt you. ❤️
It’s so important thought to watch, like you said, so happy I saw it! And thanks for watching the reaction!
22:00 This is my favorite scene of Ralph’s because it illustrates the dichotomy of this man. We don’t have a comic book villain Nazi, we have a human being who happened to have committed horrible deeds. He is angry at himself for being in love with his Jewish maid. He wants her for himself and is even willing to taste the forbidden fruit knowing that a sexual liaison between a Aryan and a Jew was a crime punishable by death. His ideology tells him that she is to be detested like a rat. He is a man torn between his duty and his desires.
And it shows what love and desire become when filtered through a nature such as his. Like clean water poured through a dirty cloth.
The fact that teaching about Kristallnacht seems to be missing from our education system is as disturbing as some of this film. The brilliance of Spielberg's WWII films and shows is that he forces you to bear witness to the point where the viewer can no longer claim an ignorance of history.
One of the moments in the film that ALWAYS makes me cry is the part where that jewish worker is counting the diamonds and that pile of gold-filled teeth is dumped in front of him. I don't know the actors name, but the expression on his face as he realizes that EVERY one of those teeth were brutally ripped out of peoples mouths before they were thrown onto a train (no doubt bound for a concentration camp) is just beyond tragic :'(
" Those that do not learn from history are bound to repeat it"
And you can believe Donald Trump tried his best to do it
This is a masterpiece, so glad you finally watched it, Spielberg at his best, this is a movie that stays with you for a long time in your heart if not forever. Man... that music, Liam Neeson crying, the children... ohhh the children... I can’t 😭
It’s so emotional!
Dude, you and Brandon likes movies are easily my favorite reaction channels.
Thanks so much!

@@nickflix8657 please consider collab with Brandon Likes Movies, you guys would be great!
23:30 "How do these people sit around, and watch this happen, and be like 'That's fine'?"
There're two byproducts of categorizing others as Not Human:
1) This is one of them. One way to rationalize murdering people, let alone in.. these ways.. is to say and insist they're not actually humans, and thus not actually people.
2) The other one is to pretend that all of this was perpetrated by monsters (non-humans), that is, to forget, ignore, or deny that only humans are capable of doing things like this, in order to perhaps absolve ourselves of accepting the reality that the Nazis came out of humans (and thus, absolve our species of the responsibility for the fact that we are capable of such acts). After all, animals don't commit crimes against humanity. They're not capable of that. Only humans are.
16:08 Yes, Amon Goeth did go out on his Villa balcony with his hunting rifle and was a crack shot. Yet nobody knows for sure how many live he took using this approach but it had to be at least several hundred.
he would actually go into the camp to shoot people, not from his balcony.
@@leesloan8216 he did both. there were multiple eye witnesses for it. he also sent his dogs - a great dane and a german shepherd mix - to tear people apart.
He was sent to an asylum because the Nazi party got sick of him
I was so nervous for you when I saw you were watching this because you wear your heart on your sleeve. But would you be human if you didn't cry throughout this?
Probably not haha.
the acting of Neeson and Fiennes was mind-blowing in this movie. So fantastic.
And Kingsley, and everyone basically
They should have won the oscars
Nick... I warned you never to watch this movie! Whoever voted for this just loves to see you cry.
Haha you are not wrong, really an amazing movie though!
@@nickflix8657 amazing, yes, but I can’t watch this one again, I get so sick just thinking about the level of evil that people can do to each other.
@@tanelviil9149 From time to time, I think of all the Nazis my grandfather and great uncles killed in WWII and it makes me glad. Every so often something makes me think it wasn't enough.
@@michaelnolan6951 Have you never questioned why hollywood makes so many movies about Hitler and nazis??? Or why in almost every movie there has to be some white person who is over the top racist or skinhead, or white supremacist???
Ask yourself why are there no movies from hollywood about *Vladimir Lenin* or *Leon Trotsky* ??
I bet you don't even know what those people have done, how many people they ordered to kill etc...
@@tanelviil9149 Hollywood makes movies about Nazis because the USA fought against them and they were unquestionably - even proudly - evil. Much more so than anyone else they had fought. It made an impression. That's also why there is not such a ready market for movies about Lenin, Trotsky or Stalin. The Americans never fought against them. Stalin was even their ally in WWII. They did not directly experience the evils of communist rule, so even in the 50s when anti communist feeling had been whipped up to hysteria in the US, they were not seen as evil, man for man, as Nazis. Nazis remain relevant to the US (and thus, their entertainment) because half their population apparently support fascist dictatorship.
This is one of those films that is extremely hard to watch, and one that you will only ever feel the need to watch once. That being said, everyone SHOULD watch it. Incredible incredible film, beautifully done and truly a masterpiece. Good to know I couldn't get through the end without crying my eyes out and still can't.
3:46 The maitre d’ is Branko Lustig, one of the producers of the movie along side Steven Spielberg and Gerald R. Molen who took home the Oscar for Best Picture for this. He also took home a Best Picture Oscar for Sir Ridley Scott’s Gladiator. But more importantly, he is a Holocaust survivor and was incarcerated at Auschwitz and was permanently marked with the number A-3317 on his arm. He lived to be 87 and died in 2019. A very remarkable man.
When I was in middle school 7th grade they had 5 survivors come and tell our stories. I still remember each story by heart. Then, junior year of high school they had the entire class skip their classes and watch this movie in the auditorium. We then all had a discussion and each student had to say one thing they learned. Everyone cried.
I saw this when it was originally released in the theater. It’s the only time I’ve experienced such absolute stillness, the silence after the lights came on and as people left the theater. It was, as you said, life-changing.
You're easily becoming my favorite movie reactor.
😊thanks so much, so happy you like the reactions!
Same
Please do a Munich movie reaction. It's another Spielberg gem.
As a german who knows quite a lot about this period of time, it still is hard to watch this movie. To think that it actually happened, that these people did die, and that all of these people actually existed, just makes it so much worse. But it's still a wonderful movie because it shows the generations now, how it was and what we don't want to repeat ever again. I hope a lot of younger people all over the world watch this movie and others of its kind to learn from it and grow to be better people.
Schindler's List is truly one of the most profoundly impactful movies ever made. Spielberg shed a light on the Holocaust in a way that many have never seen in cinema before. He didn't just make you watch it, he made you feel it. Emotional, raw, encompassing. A masterpiece. The emotions that it draws out of you is beyond words. When he says "I could have got more" my heart sunk. The fact that these people needed a guy like Schindler to go to the lengths he did to save just a fraction of them, is so sad. But one thing that this movie also gives you is a glimpse of the will & strength of these people. They had everything taken from them, yet they endured until the end, either by death or survival. Everyone needs to watch this. The perspective alone is worth the 3+ plus hours. Your reaction was absolutely the best out of the ones I have seen. It was genuinely human. Thanks for that!
Never forget.
Ralph Fiennes plays a terrifying monster among ordinary monsters.
What he took from the doorpost and kissed is called a mezuzah which relates to the doorposts of the door and is a container of holy scripture written on parchment, saying: "Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Who sanctified us with His mitzvot, (commandment) and commanded us to affix a mezuzah."
Actually that’s the blessing you say when putting a mezuzah up. The parchment in the inside has four different sections in it. Shema, vehaya im shamoah, vayomer, and Peter kol rechem.
Your Patreons are really torturing you. We do love the tears, though.
Have they listed The Elephant Man? More Nick tears!
Hahaha I honestly like watching these deep emotional movies, it’s on my list so hope to get to it soon!
"He's being portrayed as such a great guy, but obviously things have to go downhill..."
Well, I don't know about *that*. I think to the extent one should expect a twist or unexpected turn in a movie's story, 1) isn't always the case, 2) is a bit more common in movies since Schindler's List came out, so perhaps the expectation is based on later movies always seeming to need to subvert early expectations, and 3) is slight inverted here in that, Schindler was a Nazi Party member and war profiteer (though bad businessman), and the turn lies more in that he gives up his attempt to produce riches for himself (which, from the events of his life during and after the war, indicate he wasn't overly good at) and increasingly used his means and influence to save as many of his workers as he can by the end. He's one of a small handful of former Nazi Party members to be named Righteous Among the Nations for his actions, and the only one to be buried on Mount Zion.
33:00 Iir, this scene at the end were the actual survivors, accompanied by actors who portrayed them or their family. So that was Ben Kingsley escorting the actual Mrs. Stern. And yes, Spielberg said part of the reason he did this was because he himself a descendent of Schindler Jews. Without Schindler, we wouldn't have any of Spielberg's movies, no Jaws, no ET, no Indiana Jones, no Jurassic Park, no Saving Private Ryan..
I am a little bit miffed about splitting it up.
When it was released in theaters, it's a 3 hour movie with NO INTERMISSION for a good reason.
There's no escaping the emotional intensity of the film and it brings it to the viewers in a very tumultuous manner.
It taps into our human empathy and we feel some of the pain anger and terror that they experienced in real life.
I was 15 when this came out and I remember my mom had to sign a release from in order for me to see it.
Almost every member of our Jewish youth group all saw it together.
It was a very moving experience.
Your humanity is a blessing. Never apologize for your heart. In these dark times, you are a beacon of light. To be sensitive to the horror means you aren't desensitized. So many of us are forgetting history. Thank you for this review and your honesty.
We are actually all in Schindler’s position where we could be helping more people, instead of buying one more pack of Pringles. Or booze. Or video games. Etc.
If you like movies that will move you emotionally, try watching "The Color Purple", another Spielberg movie. Schindler's List and The Color Purple are two of my favorite most moving and well-made movies. Another one is Fried Green Tomatoes. They will all make you cry.
Can someone explain why there is a dislike? Great reaction please don’t let the downvotes get you down it was so raw and awesome to see!
Some guy named Tanel Viil keeps writing under people's comments not to believe this movie because it is just propaganda & Nick wasted his time watching it.
......my guess is it's him.
@@jennhurl Hahaha holy fuck smh
I'd encourage everyone to report the hateful comments from that trash Tanel Viil.
@@jennhurl As a Gen-X-er who was raised in an American culture virtually saturated by the Holocaust, let alone the events of WW2, and all their repercussions, both historically as well as on our grandparents's and parents's generations, it's been a strange, eerie experience observing the difference between how people reacted to these events while living survivors from the Holocaust and WW2 were still alive vs. how some people react and respond to them now after most of those who lived through it have passed on..
Much respect for completing the movie. I think this is one movie that everyone should watch at least once, and schools should prioritize this on every curriculum of history - it's not a documentary, but it's enough to break a lot of people. You apologize for splitting the movie up - it's all good, when you woke and returned to the movie, your emotional state never left, it maybe just went dormant, because it all blew back again once the film commenced. I also applaud that you included the final act in the cemetery in Jerusalem, which is a scene a lot of people who have reacted to this omit. And the ashes - you had no way of knowing, and I suspect Spielberg wanted it to seem like a nice snow until the realization set in and turned that beautiful scenery into a nightmare. I am Jewish, and my family comes from Russia, Poland and Germany. I've had relatives way back that had not only fought in World War II, but as well were in Auschwitz themselves. By watching this, you learn and experience a bit more, and in my eyes, every person that sees this... has this experience... has done something good for not only Jews, but history, to help ensure none of this happens again... especially here in the US.
Spielberg pulled no punches here. A raw, visceral, and mesmerizingly well put together tale of horror and hope. The artistic choices (The gorgeous cinematography, The haunting score, the impeccable flow of the script...) combined with the importance of the subject matter make this jewel a must-see for everyone.
5:40 That’s a Mezuzah, which Jews would affix to the door of their homes as a constant reminder of the presence of God.
I watched this movie once...ONCE. I couldn’t bring myself to watch again. Knowing this actually happened is gut wrenching.
Well this hasn’t happened to me in a while😂Tomorrow is WandaVision episode 3 and Lion King 2 with Dylan!
ewwww lion king 2?!
😂😂sorry the next movie comes out Saturday so maybe you will like that one more!
@@SirGuifoyle Oh, come on. Lion King 2 was... fine. Not nearly comparable to the original Lion King of course, but not ewwwww worthy either. Just, spectacularly mediocre.
Certainly one of the most profound and moving films of my lifetime. I will never forget the first time I saw it’s and how I sat in the the water afterwards and cried for a solid 15 minutes.
"If you do not like seeing people cry you probably will not like this reaction" bro your emotional reactions is why we're here. Go with it! :)
Great reaction!
"Life is beautiful" is a great movie. Have you see "The Monster" by same director/actor. Great comedy!
If you haven't seen it, consider reacting to "The Abyss" - guaranteed enjoyment!
5:42 - it's a mezuzah, an artifact of Jewish faith, a metal holding tube with blessed scripture inside. A mezuzah is affixed to the doorpost of Jewish homes to fulfill the mitzvah (Biblical commandment) to "write the words of God on the gates and doorposts of your house" (Deuteronomy 6:9) It's this thing that turns a house into a Jewish home.
12:19 - the point was always just one: Exterminate every last Jew. They just trying to be practical about it.
I have not, both are on my list so hope to get to it soon! And thanks for the comments.
In 1993, the State of Israel posthumously declared Schindler to be Righteous Among the Nations for the rescue of forced laborers
The list of the Righteous Among the Nations contains people, sorted by country of origin, who were honored by the Israeli Yad Vashem memorial as Righteous Among the Nations for the rescue of Jews during the time of National Socialism.
Seeing the compassion you have gives me hope that this awful event will NEVER repeat.
Never apologize for having a heart, for having compassion, never ! ♥
33:04 The real Itzak Stern had died in 1969.
You gave SCHINDER'S LIST A nine??? A nine? Schindler's List???? Are you kidding me? If Schindler's List doesn't get a ten, then there are no tens for movies. This is a movie for the ages. It deserves a ten.
He ran a factory ... he saved many. But he could only save so many without raising suspicion.
Wonderful reaction dude. Love that last scene when Schindler is surrounded by thousands of people he saved, but all he can see are countless thousands he didn't. So glad I saw this movie at a young age. It is something everyone should watch. Glad you loved it!!!
I love how sensitive you are it makes me feel not so sensitive
When he says "now it's going to start to get....sad.." my heart broke a little.
Marco, I Agree, This IS Hard to watch. Spielberg made this movie to show the Truth. God Bless Him.
This is a tough movie for people to watch. I can appreciate your reaction and understand the tears. Schindler's List is on my list of top 3 movies of all time. It is the most powerful movie and one every person should see once. John Williams score is both beautiful and haunting. It is his best score.
I have heard people ask how did it come to this? How did people let this happen? Radicals are always bullies who demonize a group of people in order to scapegoat them for all a country's problem. European Jews suffered 600 years of pogroms derived from such dehumanizing scapegoating. This culminated in the Shoah which is what Israelites call the Holocaust. It may take hundreds of years or perhaps one generation of dehumanization to allow radicals to program the masses to scapegoat a segment of the population. These are tyranny's tactics. Tyranny can come from anyone on any side.
This is probably one of the best movies ever made. It's so powerful that it's often hard to even take in the amazing lighting, camera angles, and cinematography.
I felt every second of your reaction. You are a pure soul. It is evident in how you internalized their struggle.
Thank you for sharing this experience with us.
Tough movie to watch. Its unbelievable that something like this could have happened. Truly one of the best movies to watch for learning what these people suffered through.
You should really read the book, there is so much more there than what they were able to put into the movie, just because of time.
Can I just say thank you! Like many others i'm sure, I have had a rough past year with everything that has been going on. You really have helped me so much and just made me happy, watching your videos is always such a joy and you really connect with these movies which makes me really connect with you. Awesome reaction and you now have another Patreon member! Keep killing it and keep being real, seriously amazed with all these new subs recently you have managed to stay the same IMO.
It's called reaction, and we got it, thank you! I watched the movie 3 times at the cinema, also have the VHS and later DVD and also the music CD, such an important movie this is, and well deserverd with many Oscars... ;)
Your reactions are so pure and good. Never lose that amazing compassion and awe.
I grew up knowing Holocaust (Shoah) survivors and like you, I’m not Jewish, but that education had a long lasting impact on me. I have been obsessed with the Shoah probably because as a black person in America I have a special understanding of what it’s like to be refused by a society you and your ancestors have tried to fit in with in spite of and because of prejudice (many urban Jewish people identified more with being of their locality than their Jewishness), but also because there’s a very complicated history wrt black America and Jewish America. Jewish college professors were generally the only people willing to teach black Americans at the collegiate level, however white Jewish people having been partially enfranchised into whiteness have also been die hard perpetrators of anti-blackness. Black people are also guilty of anti-semitism in so many ways. It is a complicated history that unfortunately demonstrates how being the object of persecution doesn’t necessarily make you more empathetic to other persecuted peoples.
Thanks for this. It's touching to see your reactions to this, because it really is such an extremely sad tragedy. I'm glad you tackled something so challenging, it's weirdly wonderful to see people crying at and being horrified by events in this movie. It's like, "oh, hey, I'm not alone in finding this so incredibly sad. thank goodness."
He died penniless but was buried in a Jewish cemetary outside of Jerusalem which is a way to show eternal gratefulness. I visited Auschwitz in the 90s and it is quite an experience. It is just outside a town in Poland called Osviecim and it was a very emotional experience. Spielberg's has family members that are holocaust survivors so this movie was very important to him.
The scene where they made the little girl's coat red so that we'd recognize it later in the pile was brilliant and horrible.
This movie is something absolutely everyone needs to see. The atrocities of the 20th century is something most people alive today could readily take part in, or readily ignore that it happens. And those who think they have no capacity for such evil are so naive that they'd let it slide if it happens. All it takes is to dehumanize your opposition enough, and there you go. It could be something as simple as having the wrong political opinion, and you're done for. This is how easily people can be swayed to do evil, and we're seeing people on the brink of such evil to this day throughout the West. Never forget the 20th century, or we will repeat it.
Haven't seen this film in a looong time! Interesting to find a TH-cam reactor checking it out.
As for the point at which you saw the person "take a piece of the door," it was the family's _mezzuzah_ or scroll-case, which contains a portion of the Torah, to protect the household.
Later in the Reich, there were Jewish dissidents in Eastern Europe who took to the forests to engage in guerrilla combat, and they had a higher survival rate than those in the cities who obeyed the occupation forces...
Thanks for explaining, really appreciate it!
If I’m not mistaken, the movie Defiance is about a group of Jews living in the forest and fight back. Not sure if it’s the same group or one of several. Good movie with Daniel Craig.
@@nickflix8657 You'll wanna check out "Defiance" (2008) to learn about the guerrilla group. Really interesting bit of history, and it's hard-hitting to consider that the Jews who were willing to risk their lives to remain free, had a better survival-rate than those who preferred to obey, and to "stay safe."
@@calebk8202 That's the one I'm thinking of... I'm sure there were several across Europe, but _Defiance_ focuses on the guerrillas led by a trio(?) of brothers.
I find it fascinating, that Schindler was so successful at saving as many Jews as he possible could, with the help of his accountant and yet he was never successful in business again. He became driven in saving these souls, to the point of emotional exhaustion. He held his quite considerable presence and strength, welded it over Goth and played him to keep him away from the poor Jews under his control, all this bravado and bravery, all to save the people he helped. He may not have known it at the beginning but he certainly new his purpose at the end. A powerful film with powerful performances
God bless Schindler and his descendants
Before the war, Schindler was not particularly accomplished. After the war he proved disastrous as a businessman, and died destitute. He survived as long as he did by the kindness of those who he saved. However, it must be said in the darkest of times and the most desperate of places, he stepped up to truly become both good and great, if only in the short span of years where so much was terrible and broken.
... all actors did an absolutely amazing job! I believe that Ralph Fiennes had plenty of Amon Göth for his Voldemort role. How different and how similar the roles are...
Stephen Spielberg said he would never do a film about WW2 after this one.
you should watch "The pianist" it will make you cry : )
I love this story because Schindler was such an asshole (constantly cheating on his wife, eventually abandoning her to poverty etc), except for this one great good he did. It shows that anyone can choose to do the right thing.
26:25 I think the fact that he had fallen in love with Helen in his own twisted way, blew right over your head.
And the girl in red was to represent Oskar Schindler’s child if his wife hadn’t miscarried
@@christineanthony3516 Umm... no... it was to point out innocence amongst the fields of destruction of terror.
Why would Oskar's child be subjected to these sights and later end up deceased?
My grandma made sure to show my little sister and I this movie way back in the 90's when some long movies like this were sold and rented on double VHS tapes.
You never forget it. It took many, many years later for me to rewatch this movie and the imagery that was sewn to my consciousness as a child never left. This is definitely Spielberg's best accomplishment as a filmmaker and something so important for everyone to watch.
Thank you for your reaction and braving through it. I cried the same times as you, little bro.
btw the girl with the red jacket represents the innocent lives that were taken in the war
yep. I just heard that in another TH-cam video.
A survivor said she recalled a violinist playing infront of the gas chamber as people entered. Another one said he was in charge of moving bodies out of the chamber when his friend entered he knew bodies closest to the corner died the fastest and he told his friend to go there.
I saw this movie I'm highschool and I couldn't finish it. I literally got sick to my stomach and had to turn the movie off. I then went into my room and cried. To this day I have never finished the movie or tried to watch it again.
The last song ירושלים של זהב(Yerushalim Shel Zhav) was a song we all learned in Hebrew School. I went with my best friend Dean. On Christmas Day. He knew nothing about the Shoah. At the end of the movie, we all started singing. He sat there crying as I sang with everyone else with tears running down my face. My family from the Ukraine are all dead. They were killed at Baba Yar.
I have seen this movie a few times, it always brings something new and more and I always end up crying, especially when it all happened a few kilometers from me.... I admire your strength to go back to it on the second day when you already knew what to expect!
I saw this movie 2 times in the theater. I was in nursing school at the time. The scene in the Warsaw ghetto with the nurse and doctor just ripped my heart out. Well, the whole movie did, but that scene was hard.
He saved people, so it is happy amongst very much sorrow that he couldn't save more. Schindler saved not just people but bloodlines of people. Please watch The Color Purple another great movie by Spielberg. A Time to Kill is an amazing movie and Fried Green Tomatoes
Like I said dude bring out the box of tissues.
