every actor ever was robbed of their Oscars and have had hands down the best performances in history. And every movie is the greatest ever and way underrated. At least according to youtube comments....
@@ruthiehensh Honestly, you're right though. Goeth is one of the best movie villains of all time. H's right up there with Anton Chigurh, Joker, Vader, Hannibal Lecter. Fienne's Goeth is definitely in this category and 3 of those 4 were Oscar-winning performances so yes, Ralph Fiennes should've won an Oscar for this role.
Because it means they have to either go find a Arian engineer to do the job, or sift through the work force for someone else. Or they've to be foreman themselves... All that paperwork(!)
Amon was right though, other men were just dumb grunts. The woman was trying to worm her way into the goyum's trust like (((they))) always do. Amon saw what she was doing and eliminated her on the spot. A real human being, and a real hero.
Probably. Those holding advanced degrees were specifically targeted by the Nazis. Nazis required complete conformity. The story's fascinating because it's a story of three German viewpoints. One is, if a population is useful to our goal, keep em. The other one is personal - the guard who shoots her was upset she made him look bad. Goeth is the psychopath. He kills her because it makes him feel powerful. My view he is a serial killer like Ted Bundy. Bundy wouldn't have cared less at Nazi propaganda, but it would provided an opportunity to kill without recourse.
Reuven Actually to further expand upon your analysis she was actually shot because her opinion on the matter, which was coming more or less as an order and appeal to göth had shown the commandant that this educated Jewish woman's job conflicted directly with current construction quotas and to have to tear down that building and start anew would certainly hamper meeting of said quotas/productivity. It was a pure on-the-spot business decision to shoot the lady. As a side note she must not have not been too learned in physics as she said right before her execution "it will take more than that", yet science proved her wrong as it took just that single bullet to pierce her skull and end her existence; however, I do submit that she may have speaking in figurative sense.
That's a very insightful analysis, and is certainly consistent with the story. My analysis was more based on Goeth's personality, his obsession with power and the Nazi's perception of academics. It's less well known, but most German phD's were killed because they likely would have opposed Hitler's policies. One of the reasons Jews were killed was because they adhere to a strict moral code. Thousands of Catholics were killed for this same reason. The Nazis used Christian symbols, but this was only propaganda to get the population on board. With the exception of a million protest of Nazi genocide in Berlin in 1940, anyone who quoted the New Testament to oppose Hitler was killed as if they were Jewish.
Reuven Can you tell me why there are Nazi and Hitler Sympathiters in USA... a Nation who fought hard to bring down the Third Reich? There are more Neo Nazis in USA then in Germany and Austria combined.
Interesting fact about this movie: Several real Holocaust survivors visited the set, and when Mila Pfefferberg encountered Ralph Fiennes, they began to physically shake, as he was so on point that he reminded them of the real Amon Goeth.
mike salami Hollywood has never created fiction using historical figures? Is that your argument? Did you believe everything you saw in Inglorious Bastards as well?
jack brandt It is from a novel yes, but the novel is based on real history, this did actually happen more or less as the movie depicts, with only a few small inaccuracies
jack brandt Actually Amon Göth was way worse than how he is depicted in this movie. Not to say he wasn’t displayed as evil scum, but they had to reduce his evil acts otherwise it would seem like that person shouldn’t have been possible to exist.
There's an interesting interaction between Helen and Goeth in this scene. In the beginning, Goeth shows a glimpse of humanity by saying, "I don't want to give you my cold." Then, presumably after spotting Helen's fragility (she was shivering out of fear and because it was freezing outside), he retreats behind his mask of cruelty and blows smoke carelessly into her face, maybe surprised and annoyed that he can still feel feelings for others.
I interpreted it very differently. When he said “I don’t want to give you my cold,” I thought he was acting polite because that’s part of his game; he likes the twistedness of being cruel while sometimes showing contradicting courtesy. It’s fun for him. He doesn’t actually care about giving her his cold, at least not out of care for her. Throughout the whole movie he speaks somewhat kind or polite words to other people who are his inferiors he wants to kill. It makes him feel more powerful because he knows he doesn’t have to use threatening words to be absolutely terrifying. I think he reacted coldly after seeing her shivering hands because fragility, while partially contributing to his feeling of power and superiority, also really annoys him, not as a response to any feeling of sympathy, but because weakness in essence purely bothers him. It’s gross and pathetic in his eyes. I think any feelings he felt for her developed later, although he felt a bit of her appeal in an extremely surface level way.
@@j.a.k2269 No, fortunately I haven’t. I may have described the behaviour as if it’s familiar to me partially because I think that if I were pure evil I would have kind of a similar psychology to what I described. The dark part of my subconscious mind I drown out has those kinds of thought processes at times. I try to be a good person and I have a moral compass though.
I always think that his line and he covering his nose was meant to be a sense of disgust for Jews, he tries to be polite but he's always the opposite way, at least at this point. Here he seems to not want to stay too close, afraid of being "affected", as we see when he calls her closer and then he steps backward again. Even the fact that he bares her hands while she was shivering, it doesn't seem too merciful
@@katpage9378 Same in the scene where Goeth tests that older gentleman in the factory - timing him to make a hinge - and halfway through he says: "You're doing very well." Before taking him outside to be executed (and botching it with a faulty pistol).
+XxSpiKeDxX What did u just read?... I don't know what the fuck u just read?... tell me... & get a fucking life bro/bra... I'm sorry if this is a lady.... I can't tell by the name... ur a dude i think, pretty sure.. lol
I heard Ralph Fiennes looked so close to the real Amon Goeth that one of the survivors who was under Goeth's supervision was literally terrified it was really him
yeah but you have to understand that survivor is very old and the fact that Fiennes is such a good actor it probably was a stunning resemblance in person, your mind can play tricks on you after going through Hell
As a German... I am so impressed by Ralph Fiennes' performance. He didn't even only nailed a German accent, but he made it sound kinda Austrian, which Amon Göth was.
@@bandcespacev3964 and how does that effect them? you don't know them, so you can't assume and if you're shaming someone for something in the past that they can't control, then you should shame yourself
When she looked back at the other two men after hearing Amon's order...made me feel so sorry, and her lines.. they really managed to make a likeable character in 3 minutes, incredible
@@hanz2904 She was doing it right ! Only a few seconds later, after they shoot her, Amon told them to do exact the same thing as she told them. And she was NOT annoying, the only reason why she screamed like that is because nobody listened to her and she was concerned about the safety of the people. If the building would collapse, they would definitely kill her for that. So she screamed and warned them several times and they still shoot her.
The last clip is actually terrible. If this clip is meant to show Amon's personality, then you have to add the next couple seconds where he tells his people to do what that woman said. It is a crucial moment.
2:35 is one of the most effective shots in this movie. They unflinchingly present her to the camera, forcing the audience to confront the full horror of the situation
As brutal as this is. And as horrific to know this went on. I have to appreciate how good Ralph Fiennes actually is in this scene. His cold response of “and I’m doing mine” (in response to his job) the guy was incredible
Not lying either. The lady was smart and confident. Give her time and opportunity, and she'll give you trouble while you're trying to work the inmates to death.
you removes Amon's main dialogue right after this killing. he orders constructors to tear down and rebuild the building just like she said before getting killed.
so they don’t look weak. He knew she was right, but he killed her anyways to “show power”, they don’t want her to look smarter than them. That’s just how much of a psycho he is; even the guards questioned his order of killing her like wtf ?
I love how she chose to die with dignity. She was made their slave, but still did her job well. He chose to execute her for no good reason. She gave her defense. Then..when it was aparent to her that it was no use..she didn't try to convince the officers, or beg or plead or cry. Just simply, "It will take more than that." In a tone that says she's lived without regret and is not afraid of them. Much respect.
@JKP-dl5bo I think she meant that she would be remembered, for being such a amazing architect. Her name is Diana Reiter, a Polish lady of Jewish descent. She was 41 years old when she was murdered. Her memory lives on. So she was right, it would take more then them killing her, she lives on. May she rest in everlasting peace ❤
The cinematography in this movie is incredible, not just the black and white color but how the camera merely operates. It’s not in the actor’s faces or zooming, it makes the audience feel like a fly on the wall.
2:35 I felt like it was almost implied that the soldier was going to lead her away from Goeth and then maybe lie and later tell him that he shot her. It seem liked the other soldiers felt she was too valuable to kill.
That thought flashed in my mind too, but it seems way too risky to be plausible. Where would he take her after he spared her life? He would be court martialed and executed for deliberately disobeying an order from a commanding officer. Unless Anon had an incredibly short term memory, it's unlikely he would forget who she was.
@@plstne48 Good point. Perhaps he was just going to shoot her away from the construction site. Plus the Germans kept records of who which numbers they killed died, etc. so Amon, like you said, would have noticed if someone with her tattoo number was still walking around
@@littlesongbird1 Tatoo numbers only existed in Auschwitz. The other camps either killed the prisoners outright (Treblinka, Sobibor) or simply printed the numbers on the prisoner´s clothes (Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen). In this camp, it seems the prisoners were even referred to by name, which is quite unique.
Really? The one was rather vocal in his condemnation of her, maybe he was the only one, because she argued to change what they had already built, sorry, i see little compassion in any of these cowardly bastards. You might hope the soldier would lead her away to be spared, but that's not how it was. Fear was their essence.
The thing about Amon is he always seems really calm and composed. He doesn't have angry outbursts... He doesn't even yell. There were only a couple times he got angry or violent like when he almost killed Helen. So calm yet he's a mass murderer and a monster.
He sees and treats this as a job. People do not shout or fly into rages when at work. Annoyance, frustration, tired, etc....yes. But to be a ranting lunatic would be embarrassing in front of his co workers which is even horrific when you think about it. Murder isn't being driven by wild rage or a complete loss of emotional control but here treated like paperwork to be filled out. That's way more frightening than one screaming lunatic. That can be dismissed as rare madness which very few individuals have. But this attitude? Murder isn't even important enough to be a big deal. Goeth sees mass murder daily as no different to a pen pusher filling out forms. That a nation state could reduce tens of thousands of people to treat murder as nothing more than irksome bureaucracy is more frightening than any horror movie because how little can you trust real people not to do this if the wrong circumstances/situations are in play within a society? Look at the Stanford experiment.
It went beyond absurd to a travesty. To transform himself into a monster in human guise was nothing short of brilliant, yet the Academy snubbed him in favor of an actor playing, well, himself on the big screen. Pitiful...
@@haveaday1812I wouldn’t even call them book smart unless their degree is in mathematics, engineering, medicine, etc… These modern clowns with degrees in gender-studies, etc…. That’s definitely not “smart”.
Diana Reiter (the engineer) is only in the movie for a brief minute, but she remains one of my favorite characters of all time, and the actress portrays her beautifully. So much strength, knowledge and dignity.
This scene, and whole movie, truly shows Ralph Fienne's talent. Playing a character despicable beyond remorse in one of the most atrocious events in recent human history, he still is able to bring a comedic element to his character that is almost disconcerting to the viewer. Amazing performance.
No death rattle, though. Whatever air was in her lungs would've been expelled, after she lost motor function. Also, the body tends to tense and straighten, before going limp. Otherwise, very realistic.
@@sukhmaidickoff I had to kill about 20 people just to get to work today. Those subways are tough. I've never shot anyone though. I have studied the ways of the blade and have become master of my craft. Like a ninja, only more ninjaer.
Fun fact: Amon Goeth’s ruthlessness was actually downplayed in the film. That’s right, he was actually WORSE in real life than how he’s portrayed in the movie. Simply because he was such a terrible person that the creators thought viewers will think it’d be unrealistic.
@@chloesworld2167 He could: he said the Jews had to be whipped two hundred times and had to count every time, if they made a mistake then they had to start over and they had to be calm, otherwise Göth would have cracked their skulls and killed them. He actually shot from his mansion several times EVERY day to train his way of shooting. From his clothing, when he went around the camp, Jews understood how many victims he would have done, because they were used to the daily horror and learned to differentiate it.
2:28 Pretty telling about how pure evil Goeth was when even the other SS soldiers standing there were disturbed at his order and even attempting to talk him out of shooting her.
"I don't want to give you my cold." The way Ralph Fiennes pulls off acting halfway decent to going full-on unbelievable psycho in this movie. Should have won the Oscar that year.
jason hall you can not say with Hitler is a murderer no proven guilty that someone personally killed while Amon Göth a different story I'm not defending Hitler, but probably about 50% of the cases he knew what his subordinates are doing At the end-comparative Hitler to Stalin that the latter was a monster
Ralph Fiennes didn't go on to become one of the most acclaimed villain actors for nothing; he was practically unknown at the time, but Spielberg immediately recognized his villainous aura and cast him
This film depressed me for weeks, I was balling coming out of the movie theater. I think this should be required for all students in high school to see. We can never forget.
So much character development in this one scene, he chooses the scared girl because he likes the dominance aspect of subjugating someone so terrified of him. Then when his moment with her is interrupted by the foreman he takes out his frustrations by mercilessly killing her, the shot of Helen making it clear that this is also meant to be a "don't forget who's in charge here" message to her.
I think he chosen her because she was not a maid, but seemed considerate and teachable. he was turned off by her fear and quivering, but still stayed with his decision.
"It will take more than that." --- a chilling line because it gives depth to her brief characterization as a strong, intelligent Jewish woman while also serving as a nod to the Jewish resilience over centuries of persecution. Well done
The single brief look on the engineer's face at 2:36, as she realizes her life is about to end in seconds............ incredible acting in a single look - she thought that doing her job would keep her alive. But it was the way she did her job that caused Goeth to have her shot - in contempt, for behaving as if she was an equal human being.
CIA BETA Wing Yes. They fought a war on Two Fronts against 3 world superpowers and lost due to a few big mistakes. The Jews can’t even kill brown children without crying
You get shot? Really? When you are smarter than your opponent, you are the one getting shot? As in general? I don't think this the right conclusion from this scene, man. Just a hunch.
Ralph fiennes acted so well that I can really feel Amon Goeth is a complete psycho. But, he failed to gain my hatred for this character cause he's too handsome
I was shown this film by a teacher who was a veteran of Vietnam. To this day, one of the most interesting teachers I’ve ever had-he had all kinds of wild stories. He paused this scene to talk about how it was one of the most realistic depictions of a shot to the head he’d seen in cinema, considering it’s not one of those “head rocks back and forth, body falls back” type of thing, but the way her body collapses.
Yeah contrast that to how we babysit everyone in America today and you start to see where countries divide and wars begin. The greatest achievements in human history came directly after WWII and a lot of that was thanks to the knowledge and mindset of the Germans.
Yes, the performance is so skilled and subtle you almost have to slow the video down to fully appreciate it. Right after he looks at Helen's hands, for a fraction of a second his eyes connect with hers and he almost appears kind. A fraction of a second later he blinks nervously, as if he is embarrassed of this weakness. His face immediately transitions from warm to stone-cold, and no longer looking at Helen he takes a long drag from his cigarette and seems to be contemplating whether to make Helen his choice, knowing full well that that may add to her suffering rather than reduce it. The following expressionless selection of Helen conveys a calculated victory of choosing apathy toward her, a soulless recognition that he doesn't want to care about her. The message is he truly does not care, that even that brief glimpse of apparent humanity was really just part of his psychopathic narcissism.
Ralph Fiennes’s performance is absolutely outstanding. The way he talks in german accent English is just superb, his appearance inspire a terrible fear, thinking I’m not looking at an actor but Amon himself. That’s otherworldly.😮
when survivor Mila Pfefferberg was introduced to Ralph Fiennes on the set, she began shaking uncontrollably, as he reminded her too much of the real Amon Göth.
This really captures that realistic inevitability of the situation. Once the order was given, that was it. There’s quite literally NO escape from certain death. Terrifying.
@@kjullthedemon Karl Diebitsch and Walter Heck who were SS graphic designers/artist, Hugo was a party member but not ss and was only the supplier manufacturer.
@@kjullthedemon NO, he didn’t. Hugo Boss was a PRODUCER of uniforms, NOT a Designer! The Uniforms of the Wehrmacht were normal German uniforms in PRUSSIAN tradition. NOT designed specially.

Amon Goth’s only biological grandchild is a half Nigerian German woman who studied and lived in Israel for 5 years to learn Hebrew. Mother Nature is ironic sometimes
While several scenes are very difficult to watch, this is one of the greatest movies ever made. From the set design, casting, camera work, lighting, editing. Everything is perfectly done.
Ralph Fiennes was amazing in this role. Not just the dialogue but the mannerisms and little details. The way he smokes his cigarettes, his posture, his attitude, how he flips his hair. So convincing.
Ralph Fiennes actually looked so much like the real Amon Goth one of the people who survived the holocaust trembled in total fear when she saw Ralph in that outfit.
This movie was my introduction to Ralph Fiennes. I knew instantly that I was watching a truly extraordinary actor...given the many benevolent roles he has played since, it's all the more amazing how he could transform himself into the pure embodiment of evil that he portrayed in this film.
Yep, it's all mind games. Then a couple of minutes later has a woman shot in cold blood. He wanted everyone to know their lives were in his hands, and without any reason other than his say so, he could end it...
No wonder this actor was chosen to play Lord Vordemort in Harry Potter, look how spectacular the role of Amon Göth was in Schindler's List, this role was well done
Yeah Fiennes has a talent for playing deranged psychopaths. If I remember right he played the unhinged killer in red dragon too being a fantastic partner to anthony hopkins
Such a tragic period in human history. Most of the commenters here simply don't or won't comprehend the seriousness of that era. RIP 10 million souls killed during WWII, JEWS AND NON-JEWS!
This movie is very painful, but thankfully for the right reasons. It may seem strange at first glance that Spielberg directed this, but when you think about it, the man always took delight in pushing the boundaries of family entertainment. I also feel like most of Spielberg's movies are structured like amusement park rides, with this actually being no exception, and I love it. Also yeah, this is a Best Picture movie right here.
***** And comments like these make me think of how much I despise the Academy for favoring Oscar bait movies so much, although there are times like this movie where that pays off handsomely. Though I must confess that Schindler's List isn't my favorite movie of 1993, that honor actually goes to Jurassic Park. Still though, hardly a bad choice, and great year for movies!
One of, if not the most realistic death scene I've ever seen in a movie. Just like in real life, not an overly dramatic, slow fall to the ground. Just instantly dead, with the lifeless body falling to the ground, looks eerily realistic.
This clips is missing the vital part of the scene where after the execution Goeth orders that the foundations are to be rebuilt as she had said. He knew she was probably right but still had her shot for talking 'out of line' to the guards.
At 1:30, the composition really adds to the hopelessness of the scene. Diana is shown at the bottom the left of the screen while the soldiers occupy the rest.
0:22 Behind Amon. The SS man with the floppy ears is actor Jochen Nickel who plays Oberscharfuhrer Wilhelm Kunde. 1993 was a busy year for Nickel and had to wear a German HEER uniform in Joseph Vilsmaier's more prestigious film "Stalingrad". Thomas Kretschmann is the best interpretation of German officers in Hollywood.
Excuse me, i'm not a native english speaker so i can not underestand it well . could you tell me what is it about? And what did they say in this 3 minuts?🙏🏻
hahaha they made the movie about 5 years before those publishers released Harry Potter's first book :) At this time Rowling probably was only in the first quater of her book or something like that considering she came with the idea around year 1990
No matter what she had done, she would have been killed. She got shot for pointing out a problem, but if she stayed silent and the building had collapsed, she would have been held responsible and executed, since she was foreman of construction.
The way he walks her into the camera for the close up of her face. Move her not the camera. Brilliant and brilliant acting on the part of the young lady
Ralph should have absolutely gotten the Oscar for best actor -playing one of the most hated POS in human history. In doing so he brought such passion and emphasis to the role people were going to hate hate him. Absolute kudos for a magnificent role.
"I don't want to give you my cold" juxtaposed against "shoot her/ja I'm doing mine" then "now tear it down and repour it...like she said" (not in the clip) is such a great use of very little time and words to tell you so much about the psychopathy of Goethe. Powerful scene.
Ralph Fiennes and Anthony Hopkins are two my favourite actors of all time!how come he didn't get an Oscar for this role?It is outrageous!!!His performance is amazing!
I love he says "I don't want to give you my cold", subtle detail of how "proper" the German culture is. A mix of brutality and being a true gentleman. Emphasizes how the Third Reich wished to be perceived.
I never noticed just how spot on the execution is in this. Granted, from close range the exit wound may have been a bit bigger (depending on the bullet/fragments trajectory after impacting both the back and front of the skull) in some cases however, I'd never noticed that her bangs move when it exits and after she lands, the blood spouts from her forhead in sync with her (failing) heartbeat 😮 jeez laweez that's crazy accurate.
Why on earth would you cut out the part where he says: "Now tear it down, and rebuild it like she said." You remove a good deal of the impact of the scene by cutting it before then. It was only another 3 or 4 seconds.

Throughout the whole movie he speaks somewhat kind or polite words to other people who are his inferiors he wants to kill. It makes him feel more powerful because he knows he doesn’t have to use threatening words to be absolutely terrifying.
I think he reacted coldly after seeing her shivering hands because fragility, while partially contributing to his feeling of power and superiority, also really annoys him, not as a response to any feeling of sympathy, but because weakness in essence purely bothers him. It’s gross and pathetic in his eyes. I think any feelings he felt for her developed later, although he felt a bit of her appeal in an extremely surface level
way.
@@j.a.k2269 No, fortunately I haven’t. I may have described the behaviour as if it’s familiar to me partially because I think that if I were pure evil I would have kind of a similar psychology to what I described. The dark part of my subconscious mind I drown out has those kinds of thought processes at times. I try to be a good person and I have a moral compass though.
I always think that his line and he covering his nose was meant to be a sense of disgust for Jews, he tries to be polite but he's always the opposite way, at least at this point. Here he seems to not want to stay too close, afraid of being "affected", as we see when he calls her closer and then he steps backward again. Even the fact that he bares her hands while she was shivering, it doesn't seem too merciful
@@katpage9378 It could also be not wanting to infect the prisoners as they would become less useful. But I do feel his care for her.
@@katpage9378 Same in the scene where Goeth tests that older gentleman in the factory - timing him to make a hinge - and halfway through he says: "You're doing very well." Before taking him outside to be executed (and botching it with a faulty pistol).

She was doing it right !
Only a few seconds later, after they shoot her, Amon told them to do exact the same thing as she told them.
And she was NOT annoying, the only reason why she screamed like that is because nobody listened to her and she was concerned about the safety of the people. If the building would collapse, they would definitely kill her for that. So she screamed and warned them several times and they still shoot her.

Kenny Bestt “Take it down, repour it, rebuild it, like she said.”

So very correct....how could you not show that additional 3-4 seconds? A lack of grasp of total theme.
When he gave the order to shoot the woman, even the other soldiers around were like, ".....wait really? For what?".
so they don’t look weak. He knew she was right, but he killed her anyways to “show power”, they don’t want her to look smarter than them. That’s just how much of a psycho he is; even the guards questioned his order of killing her like wtf ?

I love how she chose to die with dignity. She was made their slave, but still did her job well. He chose to execute her for no good reason. She gave her defense. Then..when it was aparent to her that it was no use..she didn't try to convince the officers, or beg or plead or cry. Just simply, "It will take more than that." In a tone that says she's lived without regret and is not afraid of them. Much respect.
I never understood what she meant with that.
@JKP-dl5bo I think she meant that she would be remembered, for being such a amazing architect. Her name is Diana Reiter, a Polish lady of Jewish descent. She was 41 years old when she was murdered. Her memory lives on. So she was right, it would take more then them killing her, she lives on.
May she rest in everlasting peace ❤

Omg I loved her! She was so sweet in that movie.
Really?I did not notice it, it s so strange, maybe because you d never associate the films.
The cinematography in this movie is incredible, not just the black and white color but how the camera merely operates. It’s not in the actor’s faces or zooming, it makes the audience feel like a fly on the wall.
Some 40% of the filming was sunder taken handheld cameras to emphasise a documentary look.
2:35 I felt like it was almost implied that the soldier was going to lead her away from Goeth and then maybe lie and later tell him that he shot her. It seem liked the other soldiers felt she was too valuable to kill.
That thought flashed in my mind too, but it seems way too risky to be plausible. Where would he take her after he spared her life? He would be court martialed and executed for deliberately disobeying an order from a commanding officer. Unless Anon had an incredibly short term memory, it's unlikely he would forget who she was.
@@plstne48 Good point. Perhaps he was just going to shoot her away from the construction site. Plus the Germans kept records of who which numbers they killed died, etc. so Amon, like you said, would have noticed if someone with her tattoo number was still walking around
That is the reaction the writers wanted.
@@littlesongbird1 Tatoo numbers only existed in Auschwitz. The other camps either killed the prisoners outright (Treblinka, Sobibor) or simply printed the numbers on the prisoner´s clothes (Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen). In this camp, it seems the prisoners were even referred to by name, which is quite unique.
Really? The one was rather vocal in his condemnation of her, maybe he was the only one, because she argued to change what they had already built, sorry, i see little compassion in any of these cowardly bastards. You might hope the soldier would lead her away to be spared, but that's not how it was. Fear was their essence.
The thing about Amon is he always seems really calm and composed. He doesn't have angry outbursts... He doesn't even yell. There were only a couple times he got angry or violent like when he almost killed Helen.
So calm yet he's a mass murderer and a monster.
That’s a German for ya
he got angry when he wanted to shoot the hinges mechanic and the gun wouldnt work
@@DislikeFRIDAY More like extreme frustration because it humiliated him in front of the other officers.
@@rcvisuals9427 More like a behavior of an empowered psychopath
He sees and treats this as a job. People do not shout or fly into rages when at work. Annoyance, frustration, tired, etc....yes. But to be a ranting lunatic would be embarrassing in front of his co workers which is even horrific when you think about it. Murder isn't being driven by wild rage or a complete loss of emotional control but here treated like paperwork to be filled out. That's way more frightening than one screaming lunatic. That can be dismissed as rare madness which very few individuals have. But this attitude? Murder isn't even important enough to be a big deal. Goeth sees mass murder daily as no different to a pen pusher filling out forms. That a nation state could reduce tens of thousands of people to treat murder as nothing more than irksome bureaucracy is more frightening than any horror movie because how little can you trust real people not to do this if the wrong circumstances/situations are in play within a society? Look at the Stanford experiment.
ralph fiennes is brilliant in this movie , its totally absurd he didn't win the Oscar

From his clothing, when he went around the camp, Jews understood how many victims he would have done, because they were used to the daily horror and learned to differentiate it.

He paused this scene to talk about how it was one of the most realistic depictions of a shot to the head he’d seen in cinema, considering it’s not one of those “head rocks back and forth, body falls back” type of thing, but the way her body collapses.
Goethes management style could be classified as somewhat inflexible.

Rather rigid I say
His performance is so convincing and frightening!
Yes, the performance is so skilled and subtle you almost have to slow the video down to fully appreciate it. Right after he looks at Helen's hands, for a fraction of a second his eyes connect with hers and he almost appears kind. A fraction of a second later he blinks nervously, as if he is embarrassed of this weakness. His face immediately transitions from warm to stone-cold, and no longer looking at Helen he takes a long drag from his cigarette and seems to be contemplating whether to make Helen his choice, knowing full well that that may add to her suffering rather than reduce it. The following expressionless selection of Helen conveys a calculated victory of choosing apathy toward her, a soulless recognition that he doesn't want to care about her. The message is he truly does not care, that even that brief glimpse of apparent humanity was really just part of his psychopathic narcissism.
“It will take more than that.” that small act of prophetic defiance became true. “I’m sure you’re right.” Yeah she was right.
Ralph Fiennes’s performance is absolutely outstanding. The way he talks in german accent English is just superb, his appearance inspire a terrible fear, thinking I’m not looking at an actor but Amon himself. That’s otherworldly.😮
when survivor Mila Pfefferberg was introduced to Ralph Fiennes on the set, she began shaking uncontrollably, as he reminded her too much of the real Amon Göth.
This really captures that realistic inevitability of the situation. Once the order was given, that was it. There’s quite literally NO escape from certain death. Terrifying.

One of, if not the most realistic death scene I've ever seen in a movie. Just like in real life, not an overly dramatic, slow fall to the ground. Just instantly dead, with the lifeless body falling to the ground, looks eerily realistic.
This clips is missing the vital part of the scene where after the execution Goeth orders that the foundations are to be rebuilt as she had said. He knew she was probably right but still had her shot for talking 'out of line' to the guards.
He will always be one of the nastiest characters in cinema history! Ralph Fiennes really stands out as a great actor in this. Love him.
Misses the part where he then says it needs to be pulled down..
At 1:30, the composition really adds to the hopelessness of the scene. Diana is shown at the bottom the left of the screen while the soldiers occupy the rest.
0:22 Behind Amon. The SS man with the floppy ears is actor Jochen Nickel who plays Oberscharfuhrer Wilhelm Kunde. 1993 was a busy year for Nickel and had to wear a German HEER uniform in Joseph Vilsmaier's more prestigious film "Stalingrad". Thomas Kretschmann is the best interpretation of German officers in Hollywood.
In the book she said “it will take more than that...” cause she didn’t die immediately and it spooked the guard who shot her.
Kevin Dyer Yikes. Hold your horses Eva Braun lmao
What a badass
Excuse me, i'm not a native english speaker so i can not underestand it well . could you tell me what is it about? And what did they say in this 3 minuts?🙏🏻
he should've said "Avada Kedavra!"
uhahaha This made my day
I don't think he actually ever cast that spell on screen. Not in his youth at least.
hahaha they made the movie about 5 years before those publishers released Harry Potter's first book :) At this time Rowling probably was only in the first quater of her book or something like that considering she came with the idea around year 1990
yinloveyang it’s a joke mate
this is so disrespectful... innocent people died there and you have the audacity to make such an unsuitable, dumb und unfunny joke? Shame on you!
No matter what she had done, she would have been killed. She got shot for pointing out a problem, but if she stayed silent and the building had collapsed, she would have been held responsible and executed, since she was foreman of construction.
The way he walks her into the camera for the close up of her face. Move her not the camera. Brilliant and brilliant acting on the part of the young lady
One of the things that really shows how he displays true ingrained evil is how casually he kills people but doesnt want to give her his cold
Because he liked her.
The way she collapsed...very real
Ralph should have absolutely gotten the Oscar for best actor -playing one of the most hated POS in human history. In doing so he brought such passion and emphasis to the role people were going to hate hate him. Absolute kudos for a magnificent role.
he won the NYFC the BAFTA and the NSFC
Erm, no.
Branko Lustig, “my number was A3317” winning for Best Picture was much better.
"I don't want to give you my cold" juxtaposed against "shoot her/ja I'm doing mine" then "now tear it down and repour it...like she said" (not in the clip) is such a great use of very little time and words to tell you so much about the psychopathy of Goethe. Powerful scene.
Ralph Fiennes and Anthony Hopkins are two my favourite actors of all time!how come he didn't get an Oscar for this role?It is outrageous!!!His performance is amazing!
He was a bad guy. Not many bad guys get awards. Even though he's a character.
A comment says: "Ralph Fiennes was robbed of an Oscar." This is SO TRUE.
I love he says "I don't want to give you my cold", subtle detail of how "proper" the German culture is. A mix of brutality and being a true gentleman. Emphasizes how the Third Reich wished to be perceived.
Ralph Fiennes was amazing. He scared the hell out of me.
It took 3 attempts to hang Amon during his execution.
The video of it is on TH-cam
I'm offensive and I find this Jewish.
You didn't understood the joke.
*understand, sorry about the error
next you'll tell us that Amon Goeth treats objects like women
what?
I never noticed just how spot on the execution is in this. Granted, from close range the exit wound may have been a bit bigger (depending on the bullet/fragments trajectory after impacting both the back and front of the skull) in some cases however, I'd never noticed that her bangs move when it exits and after she lands, the blood spouts from her forhead in sync with her (failing) heartbeat 😮 jeez laweez that's crazy accurate.
