Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

The film Schindler's list was based on the holocaust. It was a great movie because it illustrated the Holocaust. The film illustrated the holocaust because the scenes were very much like what was said that happened in the holocaust. The most powerful scene for me was when the families were taken apart and when they died little by little and got burned.When the moms tried to get their children when they were taken away and put in the trucks and drove them away.The labor camps were also horrible because the Jews died in a horrible way they were either cremated or died slowly in the cold and sickness. i must say that the images from the film that stayed with me were the sad face of there families being pulled apart and when people were dying and were thrown and burned underground. They were nearly bones and sick and uncovered. the way they got shot and they had no compassion when they shot the children.For me i think the film that was more powerful was this film because it showed more action and horrible that but in the other one it just showed pictures and not the way they were killed made it more powerful.This movie showed the people getting shot dying crying and burned so for me this movie was more powerful then "Night of Fog".

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

"Night and Fog"was also another movie about the holocaust. some of my reactions to the movie where that it was a strong movie that showed a lot of terrible things that happened in the movie and it made me sad the way all those innocent people died in a cruel way. I found the movie to be very powerful because of the images they showed and what happened in the holocaust when they showed parts of Auschwitz. The scenes from this film where almost the same to "Schindler's List" because when they showed scenes about the death camps and the way they dead where almost similar to each other.They were very similar when it came to the parts of the death camps, Auschwitz, and when some people were forced to get on the trains and separated from there families. The movie that illustrated the Holocaust more effectively was the hollywood version because of the Jews when they were being brutally tortured by the Nazis. Innocent people were being shot just for running away from them or disobeying a single stupid order. i really felt bad when some babies and children were taken away from there family especially their mothers that they would never see them again because they were going to be killed and when they went happily in to the trucks because the children did not know they were going to die but there mothers did but they couldn't do anything about it.
