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 Critique

    • 1172 Words
    • 5 Pages

    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…

    In the introduction to Alan E. Steinweis’ book Kristallnacht 1938, he argues that the German citizens attacking Jewish synagogues, businesses, homes, properties and the Jewish people themselves on November 9th, 1938 is important to understand the perspective of German Society and it’s role in the prosecution of Jews perpetrated by the Nazis. It further suggests that the involvement of Germans in the attacks was far more wide spread than just a small group of Nazi and Nazi sympathizers. It included not just German military officers and personnel, but also workers, teenagers and even children. Kristallnacht 1938 is different than other books and publications on the subject of the events that occurred in Germany in November 1938. Its primary focus is more on the individuals committing the attacks rather than the Jewish victims. It also argues against some of the prevailing theories noted in other works about the Kristallnacht.…

    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…
