Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"
A movie which describes the holocaust in a different view. Less then a documentary this movie was a Hollywood version, so more viewers would be entertained while watching it. It described the genocide of the Jewish by the hands of Germany is a subtle way by showing the sign of hope as a man name Schindler. As Schindler runs a major factory he tries and saves as many Jews as possible. Knowing the risk he has taken after the war is over and the remaining Jews are sent to exile, Schindler frees his workers and leaves the scene. The movie is very powerful and as gruesome as "Night and Fog". It does have a sort of noticeable symbolism as the movie shows a Jewish girl who is wearing a reddish jacket. The girl dies at the end of the movie but I still fail to fully understand her symbolism in the movie. Perhaps she was meant to show how even the children were tortured and the strong willed and spirited were destroyed and burned. Overall i felt it as a disturbing tragedy and hatred towards what happens. Words as I have spoken are only half of the things of what to say about the events of what a madman(Hitler) had done to innocents.
