    Schindler's List Critique

    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…

Schindler managed to acquire a factory after bribing Wehrmacht and SS officials who were in charge of procurement in the country. Schindler acquired a factor that produced army mess kits, but he did not know how to manage the factory. This forced him to work with Itzhak Stern who was a Jewish council. Itzhak Stern provided market for the good produced from the factory as he is familiar with the black marketers in the Ghetto and has contacts with the Jewish business community. Itzhak Stern convinced Oskar Schindler to employ polishes Jewish in his factories instead of the Catholic Poles as they were a source of cheap labour as they paid their wages to the Reich.

    Short Summary Of Night By Elie Wiesel

    Packed into cattle trains, the Jews are tortured in unbearable conditions. There is barley any air for them to breath, extreme heat, very little food or water, and they are all packed. It is almost as if they are in a survival mode. In their desperation, they lose their hope in the government and their hope in people. They stop denying what is in front of them and they begin to accept and understand what might actually happen. After days of the brutal conditions, the train arrives at the Czechoslovakian Border. They then realize that they are not being relocated. Soon a German officer opens the train and says if they don't hand over their valuables then they will be shot and if there are not 80 of them, then all will be killed.

    Comparing Night And Fog, Life Is Beautiful

    Films serve as an effective medium for educating their audience members. For historical events such as the Holocaust, films carry the immense potential to assure that the memory of horrifying systematic brutality inflicted on certain populations and the memory of the horrors these victims’ experienced live on. Films are instrumental in assimilating the remembrance of genocides like the Holocaust into public and popular consciousness. With the pivotal influence that these films harness, finding the balance between upholding historical accuracy and evoking strong emotions from the audience stands at the crux of Holocaust film production. In exploration of this balance, three films from different genres-- Night and Fog, Life is Beautiful,…

    Casablanca And It Happened One Night Analysis

    The film styles of Casablanca and It Happened One Night were completely different from that of Citizen Kane and The Best Years of Our Lives. Casablanca and the earlier films were all shot with very basic techniques where the frame just focused on the action. However, in Citizen Kane and The Best Years of Our Lives everything was in focus in the frame, even the events taking place in the background. Rather than just one main conversation or action being the concentration point of the film, there were things taking place in different layers of the frame, including the background. The Best Years of Our Lives is a series of long takes, unlike the other movies we watched where there was a lot of back and forth filming. My favorite technique they…

    Film Review: The Hammer

    Many issues are addressed in the deaf film, The Hammer. The SEE sign issue seems to be less of a problem, at least in California, with it's strong deaf community. However, some are still relevant today, like the view that the deaf community is "disabled". This is part of the reason why Matt's grandfather did not want to let him use sign language. The idea that those who cannot hear are "deaf and dumb" is terrifying for a concerned parent. It's almost understandable that Matt's grandfather tried to "help him function in the hearing world" by teaching him English so he could communicate with those around him.…

    Lincoln Movie Review

    The movie Lincoln, directed by the infamous Steven Spielberg, is based on the life of Abraham Lincoln and his efforts to pass the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which would abolish slavery completely. With the assumption that the Civil War would end in one month, however, Abraham feels it it is imperative to pass the amendment by the end of January, thus removing any possibility that slaves who have already been freed may be re-enslaved. Radical Republicans believe the amendment will be defeated, due to the support of it not being completely assured, since they prioritize the issue of ending the war. Even if all of them are ultimately brought on board, the amendment will still require the support of several Democratic congressmen if it is to pass. With dozens of Democrats having just lost their re-election campaigns in the fall of 1864, some of Lincoln's advisers believe that he should wait until the new Republican-heavy Congress is seated, presumably giving the amendment an easier road to passage. Lincoln, however, remains adamant about having the amendment in place and the issue of slavery settled before the war is concluded and the southern States reintegrated into the Union.…

    Schindlers List

    Scene B: The movie is mainly shot in black and white and there a few scenes that include color. One scene was the one with the girl in the red coat. She represents the first time Schindler has affection towards the Jewish people and makes him realize the atrocities the Nazi regime were committing. She appears once more in the film later when Schindler sees a pile of dead bodies and among them was this little girl recognizable by only her red coat. This is significant because it shows Schindler has changed because before he saw the liquidation of the ghetto he only cared about making money but after he sees this he tries to save as many Jew´s lives as he can. He is clearly disturbed by what he sees happening to the Jew´s at the hands of the Nazi´s and he is devasted to see this whole thing. Actions following this shows he clearly has affection towards the Jewish people such as when he paid Cpt. Amon Goeth hundreds of thousands of reichsmarks for the Jews just so he could save them. He even makes sure that the German soldiers are not on the factory floor and the remain on the outside of the building and he makes sure his Jews are properly fed and are allowed to practice their religion.…

    It was said that Black September attacked out of anger from previous Olympic controversy. They also wanted to free their people. Black September was Palestinians who wanted something from the government. Many people believe that East Germany had planned this attack. However, the attack was poorly planned and didn’t work out as expected. Black September took eleven athletes and coaches. The athletes and coaches were Israeli and were athletes and coaches of the Olympics. It then made sense that they were angry about something that previously took place during the Olympics.…
