film lesson night and fog

my reaction to the film was i was expecting to see some pretty gruesome stuff but my imagination wasnt expecting the kind of brutality that the germens were doing there. i found night and fog to be the more straight forward and show you exactly what was going with the nazis. and in shindlers list it showed more of a softer side for the jews.

film lesson shindlers list

the film shindlers list portrayed the holocaust by showing the cruel treatment and brutality that the jews had to undergo with hitler being in charge. one scene that was pretty powerful was the scene where the germens are starting to lose the war so they begin to get rid of and execute the jews and they piled up all of the bodies and burnt them to ashes to get rid of any evidence on what was going on in the camps. another scene that will stay with me is near the end of the movie when shindler tells all his workers that the war is over and they can all go free and then he tells the nazi officers that are there that if they feel as if he is betraying the nazis that they can shoot down all of the jews that are right there in front of them and the nazi officers didnt this scene will stay with me because i could see that shindler cared for the jews that were working for them and looked at them as normal people by telling them what was going on in the war i find the documentary more impacting because it showed real videos of the dead jews and the mistreatment that was going on in the camps
