Analysis Of Shinder's List By Steven Spielberg
One of the most well-known conflicts fought in modern history is The Second World war, as this event has been dissected in a plethora of ways by historians throughout time. Of course when discussing this topic, the main focus shifts to Nazi Germany, and the rule of Adolf Hitler. While the general public is somewhat aware of the atrocities committed by these sick individuals under his rule, they are, however, unable to grasp the true reality behind the incidents that took place in regards to the Jewish community. With that said, Director Steven Spielberg looks to truly highlight the affairs that took place with his rather rigorous film known as, “The Schinder’s List.” Within this cinema Spielberg along with fellow producers go down a route

    “Schindler’s List” had the greater effect on my personally. I was watching the movie of “Schindler’s List.” Jewish people were hidden in their in homes and stores.

Also, the soldiers could machine gun through the wall and anything in their way. Jewish couldn’t hide anything because Nazis would find what they had hidden.

    The Schindler’s List is Steven Spielberg’s award-winning film which illustrates the profoundly nightmarish Holocaust. It recreates a dark, frightening period during World War II, when Nazi-occupied Kraków first dispossessed Jews of their businesses and homes, then forced them into ghettos and labor camps in Plaszów and finally resettled in concentration camps for execution. It is quite terrifying to think how far the Nazis were able to go with their murderous ideology. Which is the primary component of what makes the novel and film so nerve-wracking. It is difficult to imagine how an entire group that were so dehumanized by another group of people and were killed as if they were nothing but ‘bodies’ without minds or emotions. The film opens up with a close up of hands lighting a pair of Shabbat (Sabbath) candles, followed by the sound of a Hebrew prayer blessing the candles it sounds similar to the call to prayer for Muslims minus the embellished throaty notes. One of the only color scenes in the film, it quickly fades to black and white and brings us to our setting for the majority of the film. It is 1939 at the…

    But, that doesn't mean that we should continue making films about the same subject; the Holocaust. Some films can lighten the mood of the Holocaust by adding light situational under tones such as romance. By adding something along the lines of this to the existing horrific mass murder murdering scenes the Audience will be touched by the couple kissing in the middle of all of the chaos, while learning more about the Holocaust. Maybe if the Holocaust films were told by the perspective of the imprisoned Jew then the films would be worth the making. But that will never happen since the point of view is too horrific for the innocent public…
