Movie blog! (: I chose schindlers list.
Schindlers List was a great movie. I can start off by saying it was kind of confusing in the beginning but as you watch it begins to make more sense.
In the beginning of the movie the Germans are pushing the Polish Jews into the Krakow ghetto. This was in 1939. Schindler the main character was National Socialist German Workers Party and a Nazi. The Jews that were sent to Krakow were all put to work in a 16 square block area. Oskar Schindler had a list of all of these jews. The jobs they did were things like make pot and pans, and work in factories.
On the day of the prosecution of Krakow Schindler and his wife person were on top of a hill looking down on all of the screaming jews and he notices a little girl walking the streets all alone with a red coat on. He watches her walk into a housing place and hide under a bed and her coat was black and white like the rest of the movie. The nazis then enter the household and began opening dressers, flipping over beds and shooting through ceilings, beds, floors, and dressers to kill anyone that maybe hiding in spots that arent visible. The people who were not killed were then his workers who were sent to a persecution place to work where he becomes very rude and kills anyone who wasnt doing there work.
There is a guy who works for the nazis, Goith who makes the decision to burn the jews who were killed instead of bury them so they could get rid of the evidence. Shortly after that whole thing people begin noticing that there is debris falling from the sky and Schindler realizes that they are ashes and goes to the sight of the burning. The ashes falling was the debris blowing the the burning of over 10,000 jews that were killed in Krakow. As schindler watched the people be put into the fire he sees the little girl with the red coat in a wheel barrel being wheeled towards the fire to be burned.
I think because of the girl in the red dress that it was supposed to symbolize that because Schindler noticed this ONE girl he realized that what they were doing was wrong and very inhumane. Schindler from that point on was more respectful towards the Jews. When they were all packed in the train cars he said to give them water at every stop. Also, the women and children were sent to Auschwitz by accident (i think) where they had there hair cut very short they made them take off all their clothes and go into a big shower room and then back to the train. As the women were entering the train cars the officers were taking away all of the kids when Schindler arrives and says to the officers that they were with him so they were sent back with their families. He paid the officers diamonds to get them back.
Schindler then gets all of the workers and jews together in a factory i believe and he tell them that he is a Nazi and that he is sorry for everything and that it was wrong basically. There he told the workers and others to Go home as men rather then murderers, and lets them back to freedom. Before he leaves himself he is given a gold ring made from a mans caps off of his teeth and it was melted into a ring for Schindler that said, "Whoever saves one life, saves the entire world." He is happy about the ring that they had forgiven him but also he was upset with himself that he could have and should have done more to save more people.
Goeth was hanged for murder and something about handling bodies in an unruly way or something.
The Jews fell asleep that night outside on a road and were woke up the next morning by being told they were liberated.
In the very end of the movie it shows all of the people who played each surviving character and the survivor laying a rock of Schindlers tomb stone. <3
My Opinion:
I thought the movie was very good in the end. I was confused in the beginning but as the movie progressed it made more sense. It made me mad how everytime a Nazi would find a jew not working or arguing or ANYTHING they would just pull out a gun a shoot them. I wasnt sure if i like Schindler or not. I know i probably should because he was a nazi but really he helped them out and was a very nice guy. Oskar Schindler Himself alone saved 1200 Jews during this whole time period. My favorite part was the ending when all of the survivors were walking and it changed into color and showed the survivors still living today. I thought it was very cool. I will probably watch this movie again just because it was so good.
