Why Schindler's List is immoral
Auteur filmmaker Michael Haneke believes that "Schindler’s List" is an immoral film.
He points to one scene in particular, the shower scene, which he views as being especially immoral.
This video explores why "Schindler’s List" is potentially an immoral film about the Holocaust (and some reasons why it maybe isn't). It also discusses several Holocaust films which are more immoral than "Schindler’s List," such as "Life is Beautiful" and "Jojo Rabbit."

    I still hold that the best joke in 30 Rock is the one where Jack asks Tracy about Kim Jong Il and Tracy says he shoots in a close up too much. "Comedy lives in a wide shot," he says in the scene's only wide shot. Really subtle on that punchline, but it really tickles me.

    I honestly think just having one famous actor in an animated movie, even in a cameo, is far better marketing. While her performance wasn't great, Beyonce being cast as Nala actually does capture peoples attention because it feels like a good idea, and maybe there was another charismatic R&B diva who would actually be good at voice acting. However, having so much celebs is distracting at worse and meaningless for most audiences at best.

    One silver lining is that they sometimes manage to sneak in a small but meaningful role for a voice actor in the recent Disney films. Young Nick Wilde (Kath Soucie), Anna & Elsa's dad (Maurice La Marche), and Jim Cummings on several movies, and they bring they A game to this.

    This may seem somewhat naive or perhaps childishly optimistic of me to express this topic via a CZcams comment, but I have to say that this is an incredibly flawed video overall that I will only touch on certain aspects that bothered me most in the video, forgive me for this comments lengthy-ness; The title of the film 'Life is Beautiful' is clearly making a point of finding hope in the hopeless, the humour in the absurdity of the most evil aspects of human nature, finding both hope and humour even in the most dour and violent of times, to be resilient and almost maintain an innocent and child-like mind in a tough and unforgiving setting that being the Holocaust broadly speaking, and not let the hatred and evil of others corrupt the soul that you are. the film may not conflate well with everyone with the holocaust being presented in that particular way which is completely understandable if one has personal reasons to truly believe so, but 'Life is Beautiful' definately isn't treating the holocaust like some kind of joke or something to make fun of, it's clearly conveying a message of pointing out the absurdity of the most evil of human nature and the power of resilience and hope for goodness even in the darkest of times, that amongst many other themes it also expresses like love and compassion. Another point is to say that Taika Waititi was 'very keen' on expressing in Jojo Rabbit that their were nice nazis too and to disregard it sarcastically as 'very cool' and to note that it's considered "problematic" is quite misguided to say and also a close-minded thing to say ultimately in the grandness of everything, Jojo Rabbit by Taika Waititi is clearly trying to point out and remind viewers in our current time of viewing a moment of history such as WW2 or the "Holocaust" that good people still do exist even if they are on the opposite side of whatever that opposition may be about, and most importantly that some can even change out of pure will and choice after reflecting and deciding to make a change within themselves after they question the beliefs they have been led on. Some had no choice, some never even knew and/or were originally misguided by superiors and authorative figures untul deciding to do something about it. What i'm trying to say is that there were 'nice nazi's' out there in this horrific time of history, some realised it sooner than others, some even went as far to disobey and do the right thing in spite of the danger it likely pursued, some were killed and some sacrificed themselves to save even one life of a Jewish polish person, some of it is written, some never will be found. It's important to teach people that the choice to be good towards others is always within our grasp, even if at times it doesn't feel like so, and that we as human beings are clearly capable of distinguishing right from wrong, it doesn't have to be questioned. Jojo Rabbit as a film even questions the very belief that Jojo was taught and conditioned to believe by exploting his most youtful and impressionable mind that the Nazi's superiors were clearly trying to exploit upon and fixate them to believe. Jojo takes a Jewish girl under his care, because deep down he believes what is the right thing to do, even when Jojo may not even know that. I haven't seen the film in ages but it seemed like it was making that point somewhat clearly. that goodness is inherent in all of us and that we always have a choice to do what is right, even when we don't know that. I can only write so much till mental exhaustion ensues, but that is my rough initial idea of what was lingering in my mind as I watched the video, some ideas could definately be better phrased or expressed further upon by myself in greater and even lengthier detail. But I hope this expresses something more important than what is arguably a superficial and careless statement made by the creator of the video in these aspects of the films "Life is Beautiful" and "Jojo Rabbit".

    "A book hasn’t given me this much trouble since ‘Where’s Waldo went to that barber pole factory" will never not be my favorite line, but god this one kills me too. If you read Fey's autobiography, there's a lot of the improv background in there and how it inspires this scene. So good.

    The best version is the theatrical cut. It explains a lot that the Final Cut doesn't and the Final Cut is missing important scenes that complete the story. Final Cut leaves things vague and is less enjoyable than the Theatrical. Final Cut is more of a bonus to see Ridley's interpretation. Next time, please don't lie to the CZcams audience. People will see the Final Cut and be bemused by its vagueness, which is the reaction most have when they see it first and then right off the film... Its unprofessional for you to blatantly lie.

    I think the most meta joke from 30 Rock is when the crew is all running down several flights of stairs and passing people on each landing, one of whom is a homeless man played h Hannibal Burress, who has made multiple appearances as that same homeless man.

Because the joke wouldn’t work at all, if they were doing Improv as Oprah and Karl Childers.
