Film Lesson Night and Fog

Night and Fog was a powerful documentary that showed the very painful things that the jewish people suffered during the holocaust. I was just very surprised and puzzled that they would show violent acts such as this in the media. Especially in that time period, there is no telling how the general audience would have reacted. I was also very sick mentally to my limits thinking that people could do this to other people.

The film really did make me think this was a nasty movie. I really don't think I'll be watching it a second time. I still think Schindler's List was more effective because it lacked human emotions and all it showed me were bloody and dead bodies. The other movie showed the desperation in the jews which is why I prefer the Hollywood version over the documentary anyday.

Film Lesson Schindler's List

Schindler's list was a very accurate depiction of the events that occured in the holocaust. There were many devastating scenes in the movie that show the cruel intentions of the Nazis. However, the film centers around Schindler and how he would get free labor to work in his weapon mines. They would be free from facing execution at the hands of the germans.

To me, the highlight of the movie was when the children came into play and were hiding from the Nazis. They knew what fate they faced if they dare show their faces to the nazis so they went into hiding in the camps. As you saw the eyes of the children hiding, you could see the fear in them. This is what will stay with me

Even though "Night and Fog" was a real documentary, I believe this work of realistic fiction (Schindler's List) is more effective because of the fact it dealt more with human emotions rather than grotesque images of dead bodies. There was vivid imagery throughout the whole movie of human emotions such as sadness, doubt, dissapointment, fear, etc.

Schindler's list will always be remembered as a movie that gave us more insight into a topic that is tragic already
