Film Lesson: Schindler's List

Its no doubt that the movie Schindler's List illustrated the Holocaust as a horrible thing that sadly happen to millions of people. It also showed how bad the Nazis treated everyone prisoned in the camps, and how prisoners had to live under the conditions they were put in. As shown in this film, you see that they were first put to work until they died, then the Nazis got tired and just started killing people because they were either dying too slow or they just wouldnt die.

One powerful scene in this movie was when they were taking the kids away from their guardians or parents. I thought it was really sad because you saw the kids being really clueless to what was happening. They kept waving their hands while they were on the cars being taken away, to me it looked like they didnt know what was going to happen to them. One part thats going to stay with me for a while is when they showed the dead bodies that were from little kids to old people, i thought that was really disturbing how they just left them there like if they were garbage. Thinking about those people that were left there dead makes me think it could of been anyone.

Film Lesson: Night and Fog

My reaction towards this documentary was a disgusting feeling because they showed how the Nazis were treating everyone prisoned in the camps. The pictures showed in Night and Fog were really disturbing and nasty because they showed what the dead bodied looked like after the horrible treatment they got during their time in the camps. In my opinion the scenes from this movie were more graphic and showed exactly how it was in the concentration camps.

Night and Fog illustrates the Holocaust better because it showed how bad the conditions where for the people in the camps/ or ghettos. The Hollywood version was good but didnt quite tell the entire story compared to actual pictures and small clips of when the Holocaust was going on. I found the film very powerful because it gave a clear vision of how it was and how it went.
