Thank you Aeryn! Also check my description for a link to the Patreon page. Exclusive movie reactions available there that are not on youtube :-)

Stern was not saving his friends. He was saving Historians, artist etc. Saving culture. The Jeweler who made the ring at the end of the film was my wife's Grandfathers cousin.

That’s incredible! My mother was in England as a child during the war. Such a sad time in history.

My grandpa was a nazi and sad that the SS did not draft him because he needed glases.

The girl's red coat, is to focus your attention. With all the horrendous things going on, it can be overwhelming. And people feel more if they can attach themselves to a single person. So, the film fixes the image of the girl, a child, in your mind. And then later, when she goes by on the cart, your brain will identify with her, to remember her. To FEEL her death, even after being overwhelmed by so much death.

At the beginning, Schindler was not really a "good" man. If he was, he would never have been in a position to do any good. At the end, Schindler was not an "evil" man. If he was, he wouldn't have done so much for them.

Kissing Jew girl was not weird. It was terrifying for the Jew girl, and disgusting for Germans. They (Germans) made law about purity of blood/race, and any "romantic" interactions with Jews (who was treated as not humans) were forbidden under the threat of imprisonment (mostly for a german people) and the death penalty for others (Jew, Pole, Czechs etc).

Its very important that we learn from the shoah about the consequences of staying silent in the face racism and hate. We must continue the legacy of reflecting and remembering the six millions of jews murdered by the nazi regime. Soon there will be no more who endured and survived it will teach us from their experience.

The ending is intertwined with the message on the ring: One who saves one life, saves the world entire. This is because in the experience of a single human life (yours, or mine) is the entire world. I experience the world, the universe - it's all in my life. Schindler - in this moment - grasps the full significance; it doesn't matter if he saved 1100 people - to him - there and then; it matters that he failed to save that ONE missing person, that ONE life - that is not there with him, to the point where he looks around, desperate to find them - ONE "world entire"

6:10 - Those men in the pews are black market suppliers, yes. The others left because if they were caught or accused of doing so, they would be shot, and they must have decided that if they revealed that to a German businessman who happened to be in the Nazi party (the pin on his lapel) was too risky because he could have been trying to entrap them. 7:50 - The 'nice place' Schindler moved into was a home that had just been confiscated from that Jewish couple. 11:32 - The symbol on the armband is a star of David, a Jewish symbol. The Nazis forced all Jews to wear it so they could be easily identified on the street. For some it was the white armband with blue star, and other places it was a yellow star with the word "Jude" on it that had to be sewn to every piece of clothing like a name tag. 15:20 - She was shot because she was arguing. 16:00 The liquidization of the ghetto was to move the people to the concentration/labor camp they were building in the last scene 20:00 - Symbolism. Spielberg used color to symbolize life. Red is a vibrant, living color. Our attention is drawn to the girl, a small bit of life that Schindler fixes on, and that marks the beginning of his shift to realize the scope of the horror taking place. 31:25 - You're the first reactor I've seen who nailed the reason that the children were being taken away. 35:00 - Schindler had just been told that everyone in the camp is being sent to Auschwitz. The small bit of life he had seen back in the ghetto wasn't spared. I think that is when he fully understands that life is being destroyed. Even innocent life, it's all being extinguished, and then burned away so that no evidence is left behind that these people even existed. 39:39 - According to some of the cast, the shower scene was the hardest to film. They had to do several takes, and a few Israeli actresses were so traumatized by this they had to stop production for a couple of days. One of them later stated that by the time they did the final take, no one was acting anymore. End: As of a survey taken in March of 2020 there are now almost 11,000 descendants of the Schindlerjuden

Thanks for all the great info @sianne79 And I'm glad I'm the first reactor you've seen who understood why the children were being taken away.

Thanks... very good and genuine reaction

My Godparents survived in very similar fashion. My Godfather was ‘permitted’, selected, to work on tanks/tank parts. My Godmother, for whom I am named, spoke of some of the atrocities she personally witnessed. I’ve always felt she kept the worst to herself, buried deep- which is so hard to imagine given what she did share😔 They immigrated to America, where my Godfather would go on to invent & patent many things, including some which are used daily still not only in the US, but around the world. I sometimes find myself wondering if any of the monsters ever used/needed them. Redemption. For the opportunities & life America offered them they were extraordinarily grateful all the days of their lives. Incredibly resilient people… and I’m not just speaking of my Godparents. Thank You for reacting to this!!! It is an important film. Stay safe & love much💖

I saw this movie twice in the theaters when it came out. Don't ask me why I did it to myself but 2 different groups of friends wanted to go. Let me just say I was crying so hard at times that a stranger I front of me turned around and asked if I was going to be okay. I said I wasn't. Such a great film.

I was born in 1964 so I’m almost 60 years old. I was raised in a Jewish family and attended Hebrew school three times a week. Back then, it had only been about 20 years since the end of the war so it was still kind of fresh. Anyway, back then there weren’t any movies made yet about the Holocaust so in Hebrew school we were actually shown the real footage.

'dzien dobry' is good morning/good day in Polish :)

By little boy saying him ..he kept everyone else in row alive ...this would have been terrifying ..one wrong move and you are dead

9:14 LOL I'd say you accent was passable, for a Russian (though a native speaker may disagree)...but not at all for Polish.

@Edygrim Movie Reactions I just found your channel and am watching a bunch of the stuff you've posted. I know you've said you don't easily cry, and I was sure this one would get you. It almost did, I can tell. I feel like, the goal for us viewers is now to find a movie that will do that,lol. But if this one didn't, I'm not sure that any would. The Green Mile is usually the second movie I think of that gets me tearing up when I see it, you should react to that one, if you've not seen it. Even if it doesn't make you cry, it's a damn fine movie.

Some scenes were not shot at all. Goeths crimes were so cruel, sadistic and inhumane that the producers thought the viewers might perceive them as constructed only for the film, thus damaging the whole work. Goeth often rode through the death camp, and when he wore a simple cap, the camp inmates could be reasonably sure that nothing would happen. However, when he wore his officer's cap and white gloves, the inmates were in absolute danger of death. One, in his eyes wrong look or a wrong greeting was enough and he began to murder without restraint, after he had tortured his victims before in indescribable sadistic way. By the way, the gravestones seen in the last shot were laid as paving stones on the road to the entrance of the Auschwitz extermination camp. I am German and the so-called "German culture of remembrance" is a matter of course in our country. Every day, for example, there are documentaries on at least two channels which show among other things the background of how Hitler was able to lever out parliament to come to power, the crimes of the GESTAPO (Secret state police) in their torture cellars, the deportation of the Jews, underlaid with original images from the concentration camps, the cruelest war crimes of the SS, which followed the Wehrmacht on the campaign and then brought unimaginable suffering to the rest of the population, which was also filmed at the time. (Some already in color, which makes the whole thing seem even more bizarre). Trenches, on the edges of which Jews were killed by the hundreds with shots to the neck, etc., etc., etc. There are also "Stepstones". Small memorial plaques laid in the ground, so-called Stolpersteine, are intended to commemorate the fate of people who were persecuted, murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide during the National Socialist era. The square brass plaques with rounded corners and edges are inscribed with letters hammered in by hand using a hammer and hammer letters, showing e.g. who was deported in that house. They are usually set into the sidewalk or surface of the respective sidewalk at the same level in front of the last freely chosen homes of Nazi victims. On December 29, 2019 the 75,000th Stepstone was laid in Memmingen. In the German extermination camps, the women and children were gassed first, so that no more Jews could be born and grow up. Very few Germans wanted to have known about the concentration camps, which of course was complete nonsense. For example, thousands of apartments were suddenly vacant because the Jewish residents had been deported during the night. The very next day, "Aryan" Germans, mostly belonging to the party cadre, moved in. Then hundreds of civilian German guards were employed in the death camps, who were even proud of their "work" and bragged about it to their acquaintances and friends. I could give many more examples, which prove that it was total bullshit, when it was claimed not to have seen anything and not to know what was happening there. In any case, I am a little proud of the fact that in Germany, even more than 75 years after the war, these unimaginable crimes against humanity have been and are being dealt with.

The real commandant was Amon goeth was a monster

wow really! bro it's one of the best movies ever made.

What was going on with the audio in parts of the movie? It went completely silent!

You must just learn as these movies you mention tell true life real stories... Jews were ...it is not a funny movie ......learn history of the truth first .... Watch the movie don’t alk so much you will understand more ....
