The movie also showed me why a lot of the Jews weren’t able to escape when the officers came to the ghettos. Like when the boy tried to escape, when the Nazis camp to take the Jews from the ghettos, he was caught and shot immediately.
Later on in the movie when the ladies were in the bunks at one of the concentration camps, it was an example of how the Jews were not willing to believe that any human could be so cruel. It is a lot like Night when Elie was talking about the optimists in Sighet, who thought that nothing so inhuman could happen to anybody.
One of the most powerful scenes was towards the end when Oskar Schindler was making his speech to the Jews after he had finished and they handed him a gold ring made out of gold teeth, how he started crying saying that he should have saved more then he did save. I think that that scene is amazing. You can really feel the deepness of what he is feeling. When “Schindlers” Jews gave him the ring that also was powerful, giving Schindler everything they had as a sign of appreciation and gratitude.
Another powerful scene is when we see the little girl in the red dress. Her part was like a before and after, at first we see her as young, innocent and alone, then later she is dead and being taken to the crematory to be burnt. I think Spielberg added this little girl in so that we have a important character in the camps, because we had seen her before and then we saw her dead it showed us that actual individual people died not just figures of corpses counted at the end of the war.
An important scene is when Schindler changes from not caring about the Jews to a person who does care. After the girl comes and asks him to get her parents from the camps he is really angry then he gets over it and it transforms him into a caring person and from there his mission to save the Jews begins. That is the reason this scene is important, because it is the turning point for Schindler.
I never new that the children were taken away from their mother like they were in the movie, while in their mothers were in selection the children were taken away on trucks, probably never to be returned. Also the gas chamber and showers that looked the same was something that I didn’t know had been part of the camps I just knew there were gas chambers so that is very tormenting not to know whether in a few minutes you will be dead or clean,
