Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

Night and Fog was a very good documentary. In the documentary they showed a lot of the same things that they showed us in Schindler's List. Some of the things was like the gas chambers and the showers that they had for the Jews in Germany. All of those things was all to get rid of them and kill them. I believe that the hollywood movie showed more details than the documentary because they showed us the actual killing of the people. Its like if we were actually there seeing all of that happen and all those people dying every second.

Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

The movie "Schindler's List" illustrated the holocaust and everything that had happened at that time with the Nazis and the Jews in Germany. There are many scenes that are how it had happened back in the day with the Nazis and the Jews getting killed. In the movie some parts were very brutal how they killed all those people for no reason just because of there religion. Schindler's List has a lot of imagery because I can still picture some of the things that happened in the movie. Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany established about 20,000 camps to imprison and kill the Jews. That was one of the things that were most powerful to me watching all of that happen. The Jews were either killed at the moment or slowly and painful in the camps that they made. They were barely even fed and when they got food it was a piece of bread the size of your thumb. That meant that a lot of those people died from starvation in those camps just because they didn't have enough money to feed them so they rather just let them all die and suffer. One of the images that stayed in my mind was when all the dead people were being pushed and thrown with the bulldozer. That machine is used to push dirt and it was being used to push the human bodies that were laying dead. I think that "Schindler's List" was more powerful to me than " Night and Fog". One reason is because in "Schindler's List" they show more details of how they were being killed, especially when they get shot in the head. They show all those graphical images that you wont forget once you see it.
