Film Lesson: Schindler's List

Schindler's list is about a man who tries to give hope to the jews while they are captured and put through concentration camps. This man was one of the greatest guy that the jews loved because of his protection for the jews. There has been alot of scenes that really got me interested throughout the whole movie.

One of the images that kinda will stay in my mind is when the germans made the jews burn all the dead bodies just to get rid of any evidence that will make the germans lose the war. Another scene that made me sad was when all the kids were getting taken away from all their parents. As the women were going somewhere, they see all the kids packed up on the trucks and they thought they were going somewhere fun. The parents tried to save them but they failed and they lost their childrens.

On the dead body part scene, you see many bodies being burned and many jews were cremated. Other jews had to carry them around to burn them and they had to see the bodies go to ashes. It was a sad and painful way to see your family die while you are in the borderline of death. This movie was a true way to know the Holocaust.

Film Lesson: Night and Fog

When I saw the film, i thought that this film was gonna show some parts that have happen in real life, but it did explain much about what has happen during the Holocaust. The film was really powerful because at some scenes, there has been a lot of dead bodies lying around the concentrated camps and that their being burried, etc.

When comparing to schindler's list, it explains more about the Holocaust with the jews and what they have gone through the whole war like working day and night, burrying dead bodies to get rid of evidence, etc. I would also say that the documentary illustrates the Holocaust more effectively than the Hollywood version.

The reason i chose this is because the documentary type explains more better than the Hollywood type. It shows more about the war and it talks about what is going on in every part. As for the hollywood part, it skips alot of parts and you never know what has happen for real. It will only show you the most important part but you want to know about other parts to know more.
