Schindler's List

they are in Schindler’s List. Liam Neeson delivers an extraordinary performance in the title role of Oskar Schindler, the Catholic German businessman, who initially exploited Krakow Jews and later became their friend, protector, and savior from the Nazis. Spielberg made sure that neither he nor the Holocaust will ever be thought of in the same way again. Schindler’s List is a masterpiece with astonishing symbolism of props, cinematography, sound effects, and music. Schindler’s List captures…

Schindler’s List, directed by Steven Spielberg, and Maus, written by Art Spiegelman, both focus on retelling the history of the Holocaust and the horrible crimes committed against its victims. With the Jewish population standing at over nine million, the goal of Nazi Germany was to completely dispose of the Jewish race and all other impurities of the world driven by their odium for them. "Evil starts when you begin to treat people as things" (Pratchett 181). Beginning with the Germans, the…

Stephen Spielberg contribution to the Holocaust Stephen Spielberg’s 1994 film Schindler’s list was honoured seven Academy Awards as well as three Golden Globes and twenty high denomination awards by 1995, but the question is, does the film deserve such prestigious award. Yes, yes it does. Spielberg’s emotional adaptation of Thomas Keneallys book produced exceptional use of impacting symbolism to educate the general public of the historical events that devastated copious amounts of Jewish and…

incorporation of visual imaging further strengthens the nature of storytelling and offers insight into human imagination. Directors Claude Lanzmann and Steven Spielberg exemplify such qualities in Shoah, a documentary about Holocaust witnesses, and Schindler’s List, a historical drama about a Nazi officer and his transition to hero. Both films offer perspective into life during and after extreme genocide through use of themes, portrayal of characters and interviewers, and various film…

I read the book Schindler’s List by Thomas Keneally. Schindler’s List is an outstanding book that expresses many different emotions and feelings. This book expressed a various range of sad and happy emotions that contributed to the plot of the book.

Anne Frank once stated, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” In the books The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Night by Elie Wiesel as well as the movie Schindler's List, there are a variety of characters who demonstrate impeccable acts of being good at heart.

The characters from both books and movie show…

In the Schindlers list Oskar Schindler used money for power in multiple ways one of those ways were when he used money to bribe a guard to let him into German party which had a lot of top German generals. With that bribe and getting into the party he was able to make connections…

seperated with their families. The author Elie Wiesel who is one of the survivors of the holocaust presents the story very well and clearly which gives the readers a visual sense of idea while reading.

twisted thoughts and slaughter those he can, rather than pardon them. Helen, his subservient and deferential Jewish maid, merely asks why she is receiving a beating so vicious. Goeth verbally reveals nothing, yet he beats her because he can. Schindler’s List reveals the vilest and the finest of humanity. Every privileged individual in this movie thrives off of the control they have, whether to make disturbing or constructive decisions. Goeth embodies every discriminatory, sexist and…

label that obscures its actual character. An example of this would be a student failing a class and saying to their parents, “okay but I’m not pregnant or doing drugs” allowing the failing of class to seem like the desired behavior instead.

This takes away from the inhumanity in the name and excuses the atrocity the Jews have to face in them. Another example from the film was when Goeth…
