I think when he saw Oskar go out of his way to cool down the prisoners stuck in the rail carts and hand them water in the sweltering summer heat it may have dawned on him that Oskar actually cared. Also when he kissed the Jewish girl, Amon went to bat for him and I suspect he knew Schindler didn’t despise the Jews. I don’t think he Amon was stupid. He just didn’t care for his job and liked money. Schindler was making him rich

Something I think was really well done in this movie is that fact that Amon isn't really an "antagonist", not in the traditional sense at least. He speaks on Schindler's behalf when he's confronted, generally goes along with his plans, almost views him as a father figure. He's not opposed to Schindler, and in some weird way Schindler seems to care for him too, yet Amon is unquestionably evil and the very antithesis of everything Schindler stands for. It's such a well developed dynamic and such a cool idea imo.

Another thing is when Amons daughter met Schindler he smiled and called out "Moni!!" before embracing her. Perhaps he wished not only to save the Amons victims, but try to save "moni" from himself in some way. Didn't seem too work tho, the man died a monster

Germans are evil by default. The reason why Schindler wants to save a few Jews is because he wants his name to be remembered in the future and be honored as a good guy. He didn't care about the Jews, as he said it himself "he could had saved more", but he didn't, because he knew he only needed more than 40 for his story to be told.

The beauty of this scene is watching a man who has changed his ways fight for lives while he speaks to a man who could never change his. Göth only thinks it’s a scam and is looking for the fix. He literally thinks about every possibility why Schindler would want these people except the easiest conclusion; that he doesn’t want to see them murdered like so many others were. Göth, like a devout Nazi, remained oblivious to humanity, decency and goodness. Schindler has to pull the biggest fast talk of his life here or they all die as does he.

They talk about this in "The Dangerous Mind of Donald Trump," in how all it took for good people in those camps (doctors, guards, the people in the war machine that would never have willingly taken the positions in those camps, but ESPECIALLY the doctors) to go along with the amoral lot was some alcohol and/or long conversations to make their job of persecution seem right. Not something _they're_ doing, but a service to country, so don't think about it. And it doesn't take as much alcohol, if any at all, when what you're doing is telling fibs (knowingly or unknowingly) instead of murdering people. Just a couple pats on the hand and some blanket statements about how, "it's a good thing in the long run," and to "not worry about it, just do your job," but especially "you do this for me, and I'll take care of you handsomely!"

I agree, the blocking of the actors seem very meticulous

Just think what a terrifyingly difficult conversation this must have been, however it unfolded in real life. Schindler had to dance on so many knife-edges. Appeal to Goeth's greed. Don't offer too much. Don't let him see how badly you want to save people. Don't react to his casual brutality and contempt for life. Don't give him any hint of your motives. Don't offer too little. Whatever the exact wording was, Schindler must have been sweating bullets the whole time. Romeo Dallaire said it perfectly in his book title about Rwanda: _Shake Hands with the Devil_ indeed.

No doubt this scene is inspired by Moses' conversation with the pharaoh - "Let my people go". And I think Speilberg used Göeth to say "Who are you, Moses?" as a reference.

Notice the blocking, they are separated by the window frame until the end where they find agreement, then they are in the same frame. Spielberg is a genius

Amos: “What are you Moses?” Schindler: sweats* Rameses: sweats*

Amon is just so immediately and so completely dismisses that Oskar is saving them. Thinks there’s some scam going on lol. Always made me laugh.

Such a great scene!! The acting alone and chemistry is just incredible!

The way this scene is played amongst the window frames is genius to the actors, director and camera crews! Amazing cinematography!

Can't stop admiring Ralph's performance. Amazing actor.

Their dialogue is the heart of this movie. I love every exchange they have.

Spielberg keeps the characters separated by window frames until the deal is finally reached at the end of the scene. Only then are they allowed to share the same space, allowing this key line about the value of a human life to land with more impact. He often comes up with these shots on the fly...so brilliant is his film-camera brain.

At first glance did anyone else think that Liam Neeson was playing 2 parts? To me they resemble and the actor playing Amon (Ralph Fiennes ) great actor by the way... could easily portray a younger Neeson in their younger days. Their similarity is strikingly similar.

Goeth reminds me of my boss. it's sad and depressing

I like the cut at that point, because Stern answers Goeth's question at the end of the movie: *"The world entire."*

Legend has it that when Voldemort was messing with his Accipere Animam spell he used it on Amon Goeth just before Goeth died by hanging.

we will get to know at the end

"Who are you, Moses?" "Sure am Rameses"

And Ralph exuded about 7 feet of attitude here! Look at it this way. Spielberg's original choice to play Goth was Tim Roth. A fine actor but only 5' 7" tall. Ralph had much more of the necessary height.

It's interesting that in this scene, in a strictly monetary sense, Amon is right. He hasn't left anything out in his business calculations, Schindler isn't swindling him. He is just too morally bankrupt to consider that Schindler is doing it out of pure altruism. Which is ironic, considering that later on, Amon states his intent to do the same thing, just in his case, only for a single person that affects him personally; that he cares about. It really highlights the utter dissonance in his mind that he never considered (or did consider and was too evil to care), when killing all those people, what they might mean to others too. Edit: Oh when I rewatched this I noticed something, which I'm sure has been pointed out by others, however: when both characters are settled in the shot, talking to each other, the frame between them is quite significant on screen, and almost appears as a chasm of sorts, further emphasizing that these two individuals are as far apart in their manner of thinking as can possibly be. If Schindler had said "I want to save them," even though it is certainly the Occam's for his possible motivations, Amon would've laughed and probably complimented him on the joke. They are as polar as characters can really be.
