The entire movie is based on the diaries of Holocaust victims. The choice of children to work in the factory with the excuse that they could clean used cartridges with their little fingers, the stories of those who escaped the genocide in the ghettos. The mother who killed a baby trying to muffle its cries against her chest and then went mad. It all happened for real! And that's what makes it so impressive! All those who appear at the end have contributed to the story, whether by giving interviews, recounting the events, providing personal diaries, etc. And they accompanied the filming to give details and make everything as real as possible. So much so that the first time Ralph Fiennes arrived on set there were some Holocaust victims who began to tremble and cry because of his resemblance to the real Amon Goeth...

Schindlers List is one of the few movies in Germany which runs without any commercial breaks.

My father, a history teacher, kept my sister and I home from school the day this came out to take us to the theater to see this. There was an intermission in the original run, and I am not ashamed to admit that I was an absolute mess by the time of the intermission. I was openly bawling by then, especially when they showed the girl in the red jacket had been killed. She represented innocence, and she was now dead....just horrific.

When I first saw this movie at a theater, I was somewhat taken aback by the question, until I realized it was a bluff by Schindler. There IS NO reason to polish the inside of an artillery shell. He was a consummate artist of the bluff and at thinking on his feet.

It's actually funnier than The Batman or other slow-moving films. Of course when we get to the red coat girl, it's completely depressing after that. It's still a movie that deserves to be seen at least once. A movie I haven't bothered rewatching is The Passion of the Christ and it's a great film to me.

I saw this in the theatre when it came out. No one left during the end credits. We all just sat there trying to process and compose ourselves afterwards. Spielberg set up a foundation to record stories from the survivors. I've seen many documentaries from those in this story. Helen Hirsh went back to the "villa" and met the daughter of Amon. There is so much material out there to educate us.

Those who deny what took place or, worse still, don't care about what took place, are potential Amon Goeth's waiting for the right circumstances to repeat history and follow in his footsteps.

My only concern is that this same type of hate is on the rise again, but here in the States. Autocratic, hateful, fear mongering, finger pointing rhetoric leads to this sort of calamity, and I am afraid many in our land do not have an understanding of history and where they are being lead by a minority of cruel people grasping for power.

I am 60 years old and has seen Schindler's List at least 15 times, and there are still certain parts of the movie that make me cry. To understand man's inhumanity to man, everyone should see this movie and understand this part of our world history. Brilliant film and I would say Steven Spielberg's best picture.

Back in Junior High they sent letters home to ask for parents approval to watch this movie at school, we watched it on a projector in the cafeteria and 1 month later our school took us to the Museum of Tolerance. I think this made our class more mature and accepting. Definitely made us better people.

When was this that you went to the Museum of Tolerance? The reason I ask is that I'm wondering whether you met Matthew Boger and Tim Zaal? I hope so because they do a presentation that is jaw dropping. An Oscar nominated documentary was made about them in 2013 called Facing Fear. It's an almost unbelievable story.

I got out of watching the movie in school only because I'd seen it before and I couldn't do it again. It should be required watching rather than giving holocaust-denying parents the option to keep their kids in the dark.

Schindler's List is such an incredibly powerful movie, but it's one that's also incredibly hard to sit through on rewatch because it's so emotionally charged. I genuinely left the theater back in high school when I watched this movie thinking I needed counseling.

The realisation that he could have saved more is just heartbreaking

You can tell Spielberg put so much effort and care into this film. It’s in my opinion his best film and by far his most powerful. You can see why he would take trips to oversee the editing of Jurassic Park while filming this. To be able to take a break from it all.

Back in 1994, my history teacher took the entire class to the cinema to watch this movie. We were about 25 usually kind of rowdy and messy 18 year olds, but during the showing that theatre was DEAD SILENT! When we all met up outside afterwards, not a lot of words were spoken. Our teacher came out, we could all see that he had been crying. He basically just said "We'll talk more about this during class tomorrow", and then he left. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it again since that evening.

I just recently watched it for the first time. This movie is really a masterpiece.. I really felt with Oscar Schindler at the end. He has my upmost respect. Every human being on this planet should aspire to help others, no matter what culture, what background or what political views. Help others when they feel down. It will help you aswell, to feel better as a person. Everyone who read this through the end, i hope this helped someone. Have a great day everyone.

To thank Oskar Schindler, he is buried in Jerusalem. I think he's the only former member of the Nazi Party to be buried there. At first, it was all about profit. But Schindler realized the horror of what was being done to the Jewish people.

Not a whole lot of the actual story has been changed here. It's based on the recollections of Poldek Pfefferberg who had kept extensive files on Schindler and had tried for MANY years to get a film or series made about him without success until he encountered Thomas Keneally and managed to talk him into writing a book and then eventually got the film made by Spielberg. Some dialogue and scenes were added by the author where actual dialogue and events were unknown, but it's mostly as factual as possible. Also, a genuine carbon copy of Schindler's original 13-page list (originally thought lost) was uncovered in 2009 in a library in Sydney Australia.

Spielberg has said that any of the violence seen in the film needed to be verified when possible by more than one person before it was included. He also was careful when including stories as some things were feared to be too much for the audience to believe as true.

Your reaction to this film was genuinely heartfelt and raw, and I respect you all the more for sticking it out through the whole movie.

I'm German and growing up we watched this movie in school, this was when I was about 16, almost 20 years ago. To this day I haven't been able to rewatch it. Obviously you learn about what happened in history class and documentaries, but seeing a movie, even a little fictionalized, brings a whole other level of emotional access. The only other thing that came close was when we had actual concentration camp survivors come to our class to talk to us, and I have massive respect for these people. I'll never forget when one of them rolled up his sleeve to show the number tattoo, that was ... yeah

Exactly! especially with a seeming resurgence of hate on the rise.

On the final scene with Oskar Schindler's grave. The man who placed the roses on the headstone was Liam Neeson. Putting rocks on headstones is a very (like hundreds of years) old custom that has a few meanings. It is meant to weigh the soul down and keep it on Earth. It is a symbolic way of showing that you'll never let go of your loved ones who passed away. It is also meant to ward off evil spirits and monsters that want to disturb the soul's eternal rest. Just a few thoughts. Over 80 years ago, a homeless bum in Berlin rose to power and convinced his countrymen that hatred was a virtue. He was wrong. If anything, hatred is an oscar award winning con man and a very believable liar. It will tell you what you want to hear and make you feel strong and even rightous, but it will always leave a path of destruction in its wake that harms us, our children, and our grandchildren. And those scars will linger for centuries to come.

I saw this movie when it came out. Even today it still wrecks me. We as humans can be so cruel to each other. I will never understand how come we can’t all get along. Or just respect each other and live in peace.

What I love about this film, Steven Spielberg, for the first time in his career, he was able to push the story boundary further without watering it down. It was a very personal film. So personal, Steven fell into a major depression during the making of this movie, he called Robin Williams to cheer him up. It's no wonder why Steven won his first Oscar award for best directing. He made this film into a whole new level and things weren't the same ever since. I miss the old Steven Spielberg we all knew and love. This is a hard movie to watch.

It’s good to see more reactions to this movie, as hard as it is to watch. You have a great heart, Greg.

Movies like this always hit me hard. I saw The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in my 8th Grade Reading class. The realization of how it ended didn't hit me until after the credits were over. My teacher had to hold me as I sobbed uncontrollably in the hallway outside the classroom. (I was the only student that cried.) As much as I hate to watch movies about the Holocaust, I always make a point to watch them. They will always be an important cornerstone of cinema in my eyes that everyone should see.

The accounts in this movie are real, and Steven toned down the actual events because of how horrific it really was. This movie is a memorial for them and a lesson.

He and George Soros are both contemporary with each other and now have the militaries and political leaders of the world at their disposal.

Fact : It’s Liam Nesson at the end standing in front Schindler grave . I cried with you Greg .😢. Beautiful reaction .

The ending is so powerful. As movie watchers a part of our brain is thinking "he's saved all these people, this should be an uplifting ending, he's a hero, this is a triumph" there was no triumph in the holocaust, and we are just left with Schindler's shame that he 'could have gotten one more'.

I appreciated your unfiltered, unabashed emotion through the reaction. It didn't look like you tried to hide anything. It was you, reacting to a horribly depressing film, honestly, and earnestly. I've watched so many things from your channel but I don't know that I could like any one of your videos more than this. Cheers.

Liam Neeson portrays such emotion and helps bring this story to life. Such an amazing movie.

My wife has only ever watched this once. It upset her so much she vowed never to see it again. Ive watched it only a handful of times myself. It's almost documentary like that you forget you are watching a film.

We need to never forget!

The most destroying thing to me is the duality of the scene. Schindler lived on a thin line between being humane towards humans and treating them like property when in public because he knew if he didn't manage his facade, all his work had been for nothing. What's the value of a human life? I think it's clear to all of us that human life is invaluable but to the Nazis it had value. A gold watch, some diamonds, a car. That's the thing that makes this scene so powerful.

The most heartbreakingly sad, shocking, horrifying, crushing and infuriating, yet inspiring, uplifting and life affirming film ever. Thats one hell of a balancing act, truly Steven Spielberg's masterwork.

One of the most important films of all time. At least in my opinion. Always a tear jerker but provides some uplifting moments. Schindler wishing he could have saved more is such a bittersweet feeling.

I am not crying, you are crying! Heartbreaking reaction to one of the greatest movies ever. As a German, I am so happy that I grew up with this movie. It scarred but also formed me. We will never forget what happened back then.

"A thousand years will pass and the guilt of germany shall not be erased" - Hans Frank, Governor General of Poland - his last statement before his execution.

This is one of the hardest movies I’ve ever watched. It doesn’t play on the heartstrings, it shows you the harsh, brutal truths of what happened. Tugging on heart strings is what romantic movies do, this movie leaves you just devastated, or it did me at least. The part with the trucks with the children and the parents knowing their children are being taken to die and can’t stop it, and the children happy, thinking they’re being reunited with their parents….devastating. Thank you for being so open with expressing emotions. I couldn’t imagine anyone doing anything less with this film. One of the many reasons I’m subscribed to your channel.

German -Irish here. I grew up in Germany before I moved over to Ireland and when I first watched this movie it truly scarred me for life. We went to a special screening of it when I was about 12 or 13 years old. We were just learning about the third Reich in history so it seemed logical. Unlike some of my classmates I actually made it through to the end and did not leave early in tears and feeling sick. Afterwards however I had nightmares for months. None of my grandparents were members of the party or true fanatics and still - both of my grandfathers had been soldiers in WWII and one of them in some sort of special forces far behind the eastern front and to this day I cannot understand how my sweet loving caring granddad and the soldier in convert missions could be the same man. Neither he nor my Dad ever talked about details. I only know that of their entire group only my granddad and one of his comrades came back alive from Russia a long time after the war had been over. For quite some time I condemned him and his actions and everything he was until I realized that I had no right to do so. He did what he felt was necessary to survive and come back home to his wife and three boys. I want to believe that he was not involved in atrocities, but even if he was there is no way to go back. We can only remember and learn for the future and not ever let anything like it happen again 💔

I felt similarly when I learned that a dear friend of mine participated in torture during his military service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Torture feels so removed from who I know him to be. I'm afraid that my initial response may keep him from ever broaching the subject should he actually need someone to talk with about it, especially since he probably knew that he was taking a risk telling me about it in the first place. If you haven't already, I recommend reading "The Lucifer Effect". It's one thing to say we can't let something like this happen ever again, but the only way to do that is to really understand why events like this take place. I found TLE to be incredibly educational.

The scene where Oskar speaks with those he helped at the end always tears my heart to shreds. Such an amazing film.

The actors playing German soldiers had to be consoled by the other actors as they broke down between takes. "This isn't you. We know it."

1993 was quite a year for Spielberg. With Jurassic Park, he had the most successful movie of all time up to that point. And with Schindler's List, he had what many were calling one of the best movies of all time.

Interesting detail: In the scene where the Nazis have exhumed all those corpses and are burning them, the soldier who starts screaming incoherently and shooting his gun in the air wasn't acting. That actor suddenly just freaked out because he couldn't take filming this vile event.
