Schindlers List Questions/Essay
Schindlers List
1) I believe the author; Steven Spielberg, intended to send a message concerning the human rights all humans have, and attempt to further enhance our understanding of the justice system, and its importance. With the amount of discriminations going on in the past few hundred years, I believe the message was to better inform the population of today about the truth and to help them respect the value of difference and life. 2) Like I mentioned in the first question, I believe the point of this story, was to better inform the population of today about the conflicts that went on long ago, and the effect it has on us today. It was a devastating time period concerning many deaths of a discriminated race, and with this movie, the understanding and respect we all received through its message was critical. 3) Oskar Schindler (28 April 1908 – 9 October 1974) was an ethnic German industrialist German spy, and a member of the Nazi party who is credited with saving the lives of over 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his ammunition & pot factories. 4) There were a few scenes in particular where the change in Oskar’s opinion was incredibly noticeable. For example, when the Germans first started to take all the Jews from the homes of a town, Oskar was on a hill way up above with his horse looking down onto the town. With the gunshots going off, and the amount of screaming and yelling people, you notice his face turn into the image of horror. He is clearly devastated by the events that occurred. Another example that can be used is the situation of all the Jews being transferred to the ‘Master’ camp for the Jew; Auschwitz. You can see the frustration and discomfort he received when he heard all the Jews would be shipped off to the camp. Which for most part, not a good sign for all of those who attend, they give off ‘special treatment’, which he knows is another way of stating that all of which will be murdered. (Gassed, etc)
