The only fun fact about the shooting of the film was that Robin Williams called Spielberg every day to tell him jokes for 10 minutes, they were very good friends and Robin knew that Steven was very exhausted while making this movie.
Pierre Dolt that’s so sweet. He was such a great person :(
Robin Williams was such a special human being. I still think about him from time to time and how sad his illness was and how much joy he gave to everyone he was in touch with.
He also released it the same year as Jurassic Park! Man was a machine
He watched Seinfeld too
He wasn't exhausted, he was depressed....
It takes a real humble man to save 1100 lives and still think he didn’t do enough. Rest In Peace Oscar Schindler.
Amen
This.
That's because he didn't. Sorry. Schindler was a great man, but the "I could have got more" scene is unhistoric nonsense. He left Brinnlitz with a car full of diamonds.
His name was Oskar Schindler
@@annalieff-saxby568 - He left Brunnlitz after the war ended broke with no money. He didn't have a car full of diamonds. The Jewish Relief organizations helped pay his bills until he received a large payment from the Allied governments that allowed him and his wife moved to Argentina. He filed for bankruptcy in the 50's and had to move back to Germany as a farmer to make a living. HARDLY A WEALTHY MAN'S LIFE AFTER THE WAR WITH A CAR FULL OF DIAMONDS
When Spielberg asked John Williams to write the score for this film, Williams replied ‘you need someone far better than me for this’ to which Spielberg replied ‘ I know, but they’re all dead!’ Another fact Itzak Perlman the violinist on the main score, his grandparents were saved by Oscar Schindler
Well 1993 Jerry Goldsmith wasn't dead yet Steven!
And still Williams delivered pure gold, the main theme always gives me the chills.
This movie saddens me beyond belief but man is it Brilliant.
I was very sad after watching it!
@@BrandonLikesMovies this is a strong and heavy movie, but I'd rather re-watch it ten times than watch "Come and see" ever again - probably the best war (or I'd rather say anti-war) movie ever, the one that breaks you, so you'll never see the world with the same eyes. I would like to recommend it to you, though I'm not sure if it would be proper to make a reaction video, as it could be too personal...
I once started it and never finished it after my Netflix crashed. I felt sick to my bone and felt so ashamed of my country's history.
@@BrandonLikesMovies hate to inform you but this is being pushed right now as we speak. How do ppl do this you confuse them and blame others make them think they are the good guys. Make them think they need to do whatever possible to save the world. Maybe tear down some statues erase history, burn books, censure ppls speech online, even call it hate speech, get rid of law enforcement. Then replace w your own law enforcement that only think the way you want them to think( like the brown shirts) then you get CHAZ OR CHOP up in Seattle.
@@Saltwaterfish96 every country that was ever powerful had a terrible history
Disheartening fact: Some of the surviving Schindler Jews who told this story were brought on set. When some saw Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth, they recoiled in horror as they thought the monster was still alive, his presence radiated with such fear to that day.
But on a lighter note: Spielberg took no payment for making this film, perceiving it as blood money. The same year, his film Jurassic Park was released.
Wow both of those are amazing bits of info! That's so awesome that Spielberg didnt accept money for the film
Amon Goeth was actually facing a death sentence from the Nazis. The Nazis did not like thieves and he was embezzling money from Auschwitz.
There is some indication Schindler know about this and one of the reasons he was able to get away with what he did was because he was blackmailing people.
When Spielberg asked John Williams to write the score for this film, Williams replied ‘you need someone far better than me for this’ to which Spielberg replied ‘ I know, but they’re all dead!’ Another fact Itzak Perlman the violinist on the main score, his grandparents were saved by Oscar Schindler
That always struck me as strange because Fiennes doesn't look a thing like Goeth.
@@Theomite There's a lot more to it than just looks, and he's close enough for a memory of 50 years, but there's also posture, movements, arrogance, sound, uniform, the whole package. When you compare pictures of both side by side, they're not that dissimilar in face shape.
This should be REQUIRED to be watched in all high schools in the world.
Yes, all kids need to believe this baloney.
@@mollykeane2571 great, a Holocaust denier. Fuck you moron
@@TheTabaK23 You're the moron for believing this rubbish.
How about movies that show what the Soviets did to even more people? Or maybe something to show that the Americans did to the Japanese with the A bombs? Everyone knows about the Nazis, this subject is everywhere, but no one cares about all the evil stuff the Allies did. Besides, this movie is dramatised a lot, it's not a history lesson.
it is in my school
With Holocaust denial on the rise worldwide, I am glad you reacted to this movie. This was a tough subject done in a loving and smart way and every frame shows how much the subject matter meant to Spielberg. It was a hard movie to watch in a theater but it was an amazing experience to watch it with a large group of people. Also, great that you got to see Liam Neeson in his only Oscar nominated performance so far. Neeson had been in supporting roles in movies since 1980 and this movie did move him to leading man roles but the real break out actor from this film was Ralph Fiennes (the Nazi commandant, Amon Goeth). He had only been in one released movie, Wuthering Heights, before landing this role which he was nominated for an Oscar for supporting actor and won the BAFTA. Two years later he was nominated for Oscar for best actor for the English Patient. You probably know him best in his later years as Lord Voldemort. And of course, the third big actor in this movie was Sir Ben Kingsley, Itzhak Stern. Kingsley was the most know actor in the movie having won the Oscar for best actor in 1982 for Ghandi and nominated for supporting actor for Bugsby in 1992. Of the three, Kingsley had the most Oscar nominations with two more for Sexy Beast (2000) and House of Sand and Fog (2003). I think you have Prince of Persia and Iron Man 3 in your collection that both feature him in them. older movies with these actors that I would recommend are Excaliber (Neeson and a very sexy Helen Mirren), Michael Collins, Quiz Show, The Constant Gardner, Bugsy, Sexy Beast and House of Sand and Fog.
Thank you for this comment! It had some great information that I didnt know!
Gandhi.
The little girl in red is the exact point where his moral change stared!
I saw this film in the Cinema back when it was first released...
To this day, I have never in my life had a similar and more haunting experience in a Cinema.
Everyone in this full cinema screening were sitting silently through the complete credits and about 30 seconds after the lights were turned on after the end of the film were still sitting (many drying tears due to the nature and the additional hit of the grave yard scene).
Even with films with after credit scenes you will have people talking through the or getting up to leave the room during the credits, but not with Shindler's List... Not a single person spoke and no one stood up to get out... in a full screening with approximately 150 people in that room.
That wouldve been an unforgettable experience. The movie definitely leaves a massive impact that stays with you
The brilliance of this movie is that Schindler was doing everything for 100% selfish reasons and as he becomes more exposed to the brutality the Jewish population was going through that he starts care more and more for the people to the point that he went broke up save innocent lives. This movie is very brutal, but it is so well made too.
You wondered at the beginning how accurate this movie is -- in terms of general historical facts (i.e. dates, locations, etc.) it's fully accurate. Some changes were made for the sake of a tighter script -- for instance, Itzhak Stern in the movie is an amalgamation of the real Itzhak Stern and two other people.
In real life, Amon Goeth was far more brutal -- he had a torture chamber, for instance -- and was actually *toned down* for the movie. The real Oskar Schindler also did not follow a conventional character arc as depicted in the movie but in fact worked to save Jews almost from day one; he was also even larger than Liam Neeson, who wore padded suits to more accurately depict his size.
Many scenes and lines that seem like they were created for a Hollywood script actually happened in real life, such as the failed execution with the guns jamming multiple times (fun fact: that man was a rabbi), although some were moved around from their original context for the sake of filmmaking.
As a side note, I was thinking about recommending this to you to watch and was astonished when I saw the upload.
Goeth was toned down?? Unbelievable, it was hard enough to watch things he did as they were depicted in the movie. And that's amazing the gun jamming scene was real, that was one of my favorite moments! Thanks so much for sharing all that with me!!
It can't be that close to the truth. The movie is based on the book which is classed as historical fiction. So not true but based on a real time period or event
@Connor / The book is not strictly documentary in nature, such as the works of Ambrose or Isaacson, but reconstructs events based on available records and the memories of interviewees, which is what gives it its "historical fiction" status. In fact, when it won the Booker Prize in the fiction category, the selection was somewhat controversial at the time due to how much of it could truly be classified as fictional.
@@BrandonLikesMovies Goeth's romantic interest in the secretary was also made up, not sure if it was included to give him a human or a rapy side though.
That was one of Kubrick & Gilliam's problems with the film. Because if you made a movie that depicted the reality, it would be too fucked up to release.
I've watched it in the theater when it came out and at the end I was done. I knew back then that I will never watch it again and I don't need to. This is the history and shame of my country and we have a responsibility to prevent that something like that can happen again. As a decent, educated German, i will stand up against anyone who thirves on hate, racism and inequality no matter how some people scream at me, threaten me or just call me Liberal loser.
My mum HATES this movie, but she watches it once a year. She thinks it’s something we all should do, so we never forget what was done
Why she hates it??
@@zoharfishtetn871 isn't it obvious? The violence in it is horrific, even though it's based on true events.
So we never forget..
Its not positive to be stucked in the past.
@@ekanshgupta2421 It's not though. So much of this is based on war propaganda and I can't understand why we're not working on uncovering more of the truth, now that the iron curtain has come down.
@@LadyIarConnacht war propaganda? I'm sorry I didn't get. You mean what this movie showcased wasn't real?
The film maker wasn't just toying with your emotions, that scene with the hinge maker really happened!
This is an insane choice of a movie to react to, but it actually needs to have more react videos. This is one of the ultimate must see never see again movies ever. Cheers.
It's a terrific reaction movie, absolutely! (And some of us watched it way more than once, lol)
Wouldnt say its an insane choice.. In fact 5th of May is when Germany caputilated in 1945. And over here, today is a national holiday to celebrate the freedom.. Not to mention its a very popular and highly rated movie. In many ways its an obvious choice.. especially on this day to pick a war movie, and which other than Schindlers list.
@@D0nKeY 5th of May? It's the 8th... Duh!
@@Quotenwagnerianer lol? its the 8th today. exactly 3 days after my reponse on the 5th. whats your point? that the world doesnt stop and that when i sent that message on the 5th of may. that 3 days later its not the 5th of may anymore?
@@D0nKeY No. You got the date wrong. The unconditional surrender took place on the 8th of May at 2301 hours, not the 5th.
So basically 75 years and 6 minutes ago. ;)
As a German. I try to watch this film every few years. Just to make sure I never forget. Even though I don't know my ancestors who lived at this time (my mother was adopted).
First time I watched this was actually in school at the age of 14-16 that was the most depressing history lesson ever
I wish america took it's past atrocities as seriously as germany does. I have a lot of respect for the way your country handles it today honestly
@@isaiahromero9861 Yeah very great having 0% national pride and keep letting in hordes of "refugees" in fear of being called nazi.
Another fabulous WW2 movie is The Pianist. I highly recommend watching it
The first half is so hard to watch. There's so many terrible things happening but everyone is just carrying on business as usual until its much too late.
Yessss
Yes! It’s an incredible film, sad but definitely worth a watch
Life is Beautiful as well
I was going to recomend that one, kudos!
This is probably one of Neeson's biggest roles that gave him such a long and colourful career. He did Darkman beforehand but Oskar Schindler was the big one, got him a best actor nomination at the oscars (this film was nominated for 12, won 7) which he lost to Tom Hanks for his role in Philadelphia.
There's hardly any reactions to this movie. Glad you chose it.
After watching the movie I can understand why, it's extremely difficult to watch and as you'll see in part 2 it's not one that's easy uploading a reaction to (great movie though)
@@BrandonLikesMovies oh I know, I first watched this back in middle school and boy we were all an emotional wreck by the end.
The red coat is one of the best cinematic uses of color ever. It is so powerful against the black and white. This is a horrible topic that needed to be told and everyone should watch and Spielberg did such an amazing job telling it as accurately as possible.
14:08 - as an Austrian, this little snippet really resonates with me. The guy with the glasses has an Austrian accent to his German, and it really drives the point home that we were also part of this whole twisted sick machinery. Goeth was Austrian too, but it doesn't have the same impact because Fiennes isn't a native speaker.
I watched this film in Grade 9 in my history class. We had to have our parents sign a form giving us permission to watch it due to the violence and graphic nature. That film had many of my classmates crying and some couldnt even finish the viewing. This films as incredible as it is disturbing. One of the most important movies ever made.
We also watched it in High School... I'm glad I saw it once. I can never watch it again.
I remember having to do that for this movie and The Pianist
Did they ever show you a movie about the Gulags? Or the atomic bombs? Or how the Soviet soldiers were treating the civilians? The Allies did way more bad stuff overall, but no one talks or cares about it.
@@henryviii2091 Why does that matter? Someone made a movie depicting the horrible things that were done in the Holocaust. Appreciate it and learn from it. Maybe someone will make a movie about all these other things, but it's retarded to use this as reasoning to demean another film
@@errwhattheflip No, I do apreciate it for sure, and I usually don't like whataboutism, but when it comes to WW2, everything is so one sided, just about the Germans, but I think that it's disrespectful to ignore all the victims that the Allies created, which were maybe even more.
The really scary thing is that Amon Goeth actually sat on a balcony above everyone with a sniper rifle to shoot passing prisoners when he felt like it.
Such an evil man
@@BrandonLikesMovies The scene with the hinge-maker and the misfiring pistols actually happened. His name was Rabbi Rav Levertov.
Shoah is one of the greatest movie ever made and makes Schindler's List look like Easter candy. It's a documentary, so not really comparable, but it's astonishing.
The great thing about this movie is that Schindler was a Nazi member trying to profit from war, but he eventually redeems himself by sacrificing the wealth he made to save as many Jews as possible by the end.
He realize the horrors when he see the little girl in red
Thanks for spoilers :-(
@@wooshbait36 why would you read the comments then?
@@iamsheep Used to have some intern at my company who would would spoil movies like this all the time. I wanted to fire him because of how annoying that was but since his department really relied on his labor, I cut his pay by a quarter instead (lol he got so pissed).
This was in April so no other job was hiring at the time because of the Chinese virus so he had no where else to go and was forced to start lives my paycheck to paycheck. I just needed to show him what’s up and the power of a boss, ya know?
Anyways, earlier this month I checked his Facebook (he quit sometime in July) and he got hooked on Xanax (again (last time was 4 years prior)) and is living on food stamps. He had to give up custody of his 5 year old daughter to his bitchy ex-wife. I honestly feel kinda bad but oh well man.
@@wooshbait36 no one cares
Originally he only cared about making money later on he becomes a better man he wasn't trying to save anyone at the beginning
I spent 2 months in the US last year and people really thought all Germans were still like this and asked me the most stupid stuff ALL THE TIME!
In Germany we watch Movies and documentaries in school every single year from when we are 10 years old to make us know what our people did. I cried while watching those very vivid clips and pictures. We don’t have anything to do with this anymore and I want people to know that. The movie is so so sad
Not all Americans think that way. I don’t know if you saw the documentary “Paperclips”, but it shows the obvious reaction the German people have to what happened in their history. It was heart warming!
Therese Pankey obviously, I know that not all Americans are like that!
I just wanted to point out that I was shook of how MANY were sincerely asking me all that crap. I’ll definitely look up that documentary thank you :))
KeysHOE I’m sorry, I was just trying to reassure you that some are ok here. Btw, if you want to tell off the rude ones when they do that, feel free! We do! LOL! (Especially right now with all that is happening) You probably ran into a wild Karen or Kevin and they are usually the bigots! I hope your next visit goes much better! Stay safe.
Therese Pankey yes! Btw my visit was amazing so I mostly have good memories of it. I’ll probably come back after I graduate this year and all that corona sh*t is gone :))
Hey at least you guys acknowledge it as part of your countries history and don’t shy from the harsh truth. Unlike here in the US when it comes to the native genocide and slavery.
You got to react to The Pianist. That’s another masterpiece movie from WWII
And " Fanny's travel " (I don't know if the translation is ok because it's a french film)
Please google: Amon Goeth‘s granddaughter... she also wrote a book. Spoiler: the book is called: my grandfather would have killed me
Jonas Wolfram I just started reading and oh my god, thank you for the suggestion. It really shows how that monster still impacts the lives of everyone who survived him, and by domino effect, those that came after, including his granddaughter. It is heart wrenching.
WOW!
This movie is so Sad and hard to watch. Definitely hurts knowing people went through this 💔😢.
You have to react to the german movie "Generation War", its like a german Band of Brothers and it shows that not every german was a indoctrinated Nazi, but also how normal everyday soldiers are capable of commiting war crimes in the chaos and brutality of war... And how they slowly loose their humanity and become something they never wanted to be
Erika Yes! And also try out Stalingrad (from 1993). The lead actor is amazing to this day, and one of the protagonists later played the role of Goeth‘s adjutant in Schindler‘s list.
google up The Banality of Evil
Coming from a jewish-polish background we have a ‚tradition‘ to watch this movie every time it’s on TV - so I kinda grew up with it and it has a really special place in my heart. Thank you very much for reviewing it and helping to not let this be forgotten, but remember!✨
Schindler's List has always been, in my opinion, the most important movie ever made. Not only does it show what happened well. But it's good to know that Oskar Schindler, and many other people, did the right thing and helped Jewish people.
I came into this video with the impression that the commentary would be excessive and shallow, but was mistaken. Each comment was heartfelt and respectful. Thank you for making a video where I can truly value one's opinion.
This is such a nice comment, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Ralph Fiennes put in such a strong performance as Amon Goeth, and bore such a resemblance to him, that when he met a Holocaust survivor who had lived under him, they broke down in fear.
I watched this movie about 5 to 10 times, almost everytime it's been on german free tv. It's the only movie (I know of) with no commercial break aired in between. Even though it's so painful to watch it's such a masterpiece that hasn't been reached by any other movie, in my opinion.
Of course it's Bach and not Mozart...
What brilliant way to show the duality of man. Sitting down at the piano to play the music of one of the greatest composers ever, german himself and a highpoint of civilisation, during one of the lowest of lows of civilization, also german.
I recently fell in love with your channel man, watching your reactions to these movies feels like I am watching it with a friend. Never stop!
That means the world to hear that! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
"Let's hope with the advancement of technology and the connectivity of the world we never have to go through something as terrible as this again." Perhaps on a smaller scale, but I'm sorry to say this type of violence and abject evil has happened over and over again in the world. It is happening now. When one group is able to objectify and dehumanize another entire group of humans then unspeakable acts become easy to rationalize.
Such an amazing movie. I saw it when it was re-released in theaters. It includes an intro by Spielberg who concludes it by saying basically, "love is more powerful than hate."
This is probably the best movie of all time in my opinion
It's fantastic!
Man, this is going to be painful! I might need a few beers to get through this...
Edit: Yup, a very dark chapter from history shown in graphic detail. I must admit, this is not one of my favourite movies. Not because it's badly acted or shot - the subject matter is gut-wrenching and even though I think it's important (vital, even) that we never forget the events, I find it very tough to endure. There _are_ some lighter moments and the ending (the *real* ending - you'll understand when you get to it) is pretty uplifting. I'm ranting now. Anyway, thanks for choosing this, it's a bold choice of movie.
It was extremely rough to get through! Thanks for watching!
All the more reason to watch it and that everyone should watch it. It’s not just about Jews, there have been episodes of ethnic cleansing throughout the ages. We don’t learn as a species and every new generation must be reminded, hard as that may be.
This is a gut punch of a movie. Schindler's List and Lilya 4 Ever are two films that I could only watch once.
I for sure dont think I could watch this one again
“The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” is another movie I can’t bring myself to watch again.
@@michaelc.6532 I saw that in my English class in middle schoo. Kinda haunted me for a bit.
I’ve been to Germany a couple of times and it’s one of the cleanest, friendliest countries you’ll ever go to, filled with the nicest people you’ll ever meet. A genuine lovely race of people who the majority are ashamed of everything that happened during this period. A sad time in human history that I hope nothing of the like ever happens again.
I studied Nazi Germany for 4 years and we watched this movie as part of the studies, as it is an incredibly accurate portrayal of what the Nazis were doing.
Such a dark time in history
@@BrandonLikesMovies just look up china concentration camps, they have interned up to a million citizens, this is going today, history teaches us nothing
@Nhật Nam Trần nice communism you got there 🙈
@@SA-zoom1 There are camps here in America . . .
@@SA-zoom1 Clearly said 'studying' was far from objective or even factual, if this movie was used as part of it. It condenses numerous different accounts of numerous different events into one morass. It embellishes all kinds of witness testimony. It focuses on things that even the book does not for little more than dramatic effect. It ignores the reality of the characters and their stories.
Studying Hollywood films when studying Nazi Germany only serves a purpose if there is an awareness of how ironic such a thing is.
Don’t feel bad in the slightest about complementing the quality of the filmmaking. Having made the film so beautifully honors the victims of this horrific tragedy. Clearly love and respect for the victims of the Holocaust was poured into the making of this beautifully made film.
When the movie came in 1994, 2 of the survivors who met Ralph Fiennes told him his character in the movie was much nicer than the real Amon Goeth...
Interesting fact: Spielberg was only able to make this film after agreeing to make/helm 'Jurassic Park'. If he wouldn't agree to do 'Jurassic Park' the film company threatened to not fund 'Schindler's List'. This was a real passion project for him, and it's one of the most important movies of all time.
i saw this in the theater back before i could drive. when my mom picked me up, i was too numb to speak. she asked me how the movie was, and i just burst into tears. sobbed the whole way home. it completely shattered me for days afterward.
What a great job you have done reacting to this movie. Being respectful towards the story yet appreciating the craftmanship that has gone into this very important piece of history.
I am from germany myself and we study ww2 and the third reich intesifely, yet I still can not and will never understand how it ever came this far. Thank you for being so brave to react to this.
There is a great documentary I think it is called "Inheritance" and it shows amon geoths daughter meeting with the real life Helene in the Villa where Amon lived and killed.
Thank you so much for the kind words! And that sounds like a great documentary, I'll have to seek it out!
Loving the reactions man. This movie is a true masterpiece. If you haven't seen it yet then Saving Private Ryan is an absolute must and if not that then Band Of Brothers. Great work, please keep them coming.
Thank you so much! And definitely need to see both of those!
the thing about this movie is it should be ten times as more graphic and horrific as it already is, to think it was far worse than any film could ever reproduce
I saw this on video when I was 27 back in '94 or so. The movie was disturbing and relentlessly kept the tension up, but Schindler's breakdown at the tracks at the end just moved me to tears.
i only just subscribed yesterday, but i already know that brandon don't disappoint!!
Appreciate that!! Glad to have you here!
Truly, no other movie is so disturbing and yet so beautiful.
You may be the only CZcamsr I watch that I don't skip any of the reactions or commentary. You're very terse and insightful.
I've been looking all over for a reaction to this movie! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!!
Robin Williams was recording his lines for Aladdin literally right across the street from where this movie was being filmed, and at the end of every day he'd go over to give the whole crew some much-needed cheering up.
Not quite right. Spielberg was filming in Poland. Williams was in California. But he would ring up Spielberg on schedule to perform a 15 minute stand-up over the phone to cheer the cast and crew up during the grim shoot.
My dude, I really really enjoy watching you, I hope you continue doing all this!! When I have more money, I will become a patron! You are incredibly observant, and remember small details. Fascinating!
That means so much, thank you!! Hope you continue to enjoy the videos!
He started as a war profiteer, but then he saw the inhumane treatment by the Nazis and he changed! Then started to protect them!
Another movie that deals with the holocaust and WWII I'd recommend is 'The Pianist' it's such a brilliant film and was director Roman Polański's way of dealing with his experiences in the Warsaw Ghetto, it's also based on a true story.
The girl in the red coat survived the war - there have been several books and articles written about her.
Brandon, if you have a chance you should watch The Pianist.
It's on my list of things to watch!
Maybe give yourself a quota of one excellent-and-depressing movie a quarter, or so?
"Hotel Rwanda" goes on the same list.
@@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll I think that's a good idea
Liam Neeson grew up in same hometown as me, his mum died on Saturday past, rest in peace Kitty.
Schindler's List brutalizes you in your body, in your mind, in your soul.
I will recommand you 2 films(if you have not already seen them): The Downfall and Das Boot(director's cut). Both are german film and need to be watched in german for a better immersion.
Maybe you could also watch Seven Samurai(1954 black and white japanese classic masterpiece epic movie).
I agree. "Downfall" (Der Untergang) und "Das Boot" are definitely worth watching, but partly some hard stuff as well.
Another very good german movie is "Das Experiment" from 2001. But I don't know, if there is an english version.
And if you like movies based on things that really happened, one of my favorites is "Apollo 13" with Tom Hanks.
@@Badner83Yes, Das Experiment is very good.
As a somewhat huge movie fanatic myself, it's refreshing to see someone who might have even have a bigger passion and understanding for films.
I was two Times in Buchenwald as a Child and later with my Wife! Cruel and sad moment to stand where so many people have died! When the Americans reached Buchenwald and its subcamps in April 1945, Dwight D. Eisenhower, commander in chief of the Allied Armed Forces, wrote: "Nothing has ever shaken me as much as this sight. In total, around 266,000 people from all European countries were imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp during this period. The death toll is estimated at around 56,000, including 15,000 Soviet citizens, 7,000 Poles, 6,000 Hungarians and 3,000 French.
Such a film needs to be seen in a cinema, as a fully immersive experience.
Wish I could've done so!
Every time I went to the theatre to see it, it was sold out.
I bought it and watched it at home...
Still have my copy.
Still moves me...
I saw it at high school, I think...
I was fortunate enough to have does so. Yes that makes me old. I can always remember what seems to be a lovely shot of children playing in the snow. Then there is a full camera back slowly and you realize it’s not snow.......
I saw this in the theater with my parents in the winter of 93. After it was over the audience sat there for a few minutes then started to slowly file out in a silent daze. Such an incredible film.
Man! This is a great film (on my own list of MUST-WATCH FILMS BEFORE YOU DIE). However, it is a deep and difficult film to react to (because of the content). I cry like a baby at the end. Kudos to being brave enough to film yourself watching it.
It definitely was very difficult to watch!
Got those six words a minute 🤣🤣🤣
I lost family at Auschwitz and this movie crushes me every time. I’m so glad you took the time to watch this because our memories will help ensure this never happens again. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Respect
I watch this movie every few years to remind myself. It hurts, I cry, but I always go back to it because it reminds me that even in the worst situation there is hope and people trying to do the right thing.
Movies I’d like to see a reaction to:
-Shawshank Redemption
-The Dark Knight Trilogy
-1917
-Any Tarantino film
TheDoubleDinger 1917 was my favourite movie of last year
Jokers behind it then once upon a time in hollywood
mtv dinner I recently rewatched OUATIH and it’s definitely climbed in my ranking of Tarantino films. Top 3 for me. 1917 was a cinematographer’s wet dream. Roger Deakins is the master!!
1917 was visually stunning but had a weak plot in my opinion - doesn’t pack as emotional and powerful a punch as other war films.
Tough Movie! In Germany we saw this Movie in History Class...
This and *Sophie’s Choice* are beyond gut-wrenching but are absolutely must-watch. Both Oliwia Dobrowska (girl in red coat) and Jennifer Lawn (Ewa, Sophie’s daughter) opted not to do any on-screen work after their respective roles
I recommended this movie to you and you are watching it , respect bro
Shout out to you for recommending it 🙂
This movie is actually completely accurate. Every event in this movie, everything they said or did, actually happened irl too, which makes it even more horrible because of the brutality yet also wonderful because some lives have been saved. We watched the movie in history lessons and everyone cried. 3 students left the room during the movie. This film is definitely a must-see, it's so important. If you guys have the chance to watch it, please definitely do so!
Just watched this for the first time last month. Hauntingly amazing
A tough, but powerful movie...definitely leaves an impact on the viewer!
Agreed!!
This was based on the book "Schindler's Ark" but when the movie was released and becamea big hit, it was published again and released as "Schindler's List".
I remember watching this in class and just try not to cry in front of everyone oof a few weeks later we actually visited Schindler's museum in Poland and that hit even harder
One of my favourite movies ever. Thank you for highlighting such an important piece of cinema history...
I remember watching this movie in my history class in middle school. Amazing that they let us watch this movie. Of course we did need our parents to sign permission slips to watch it though
Woah that'd be tough to watch so young!
Pretty sure I did same.
These are the right movies to see. You're on the right track.
I've certainly been enjoying them!
,you must watch the Korean movie "oldboy"
It's on my list of things to watch 🙂
Saving Private Ryan is another great movie too, if yiu haven't seen it. Easily a better story/plot than 1917.. As some people are suggesting in the comments
Wije videos Also try Generation War (a three-Part series), Stalingrad (the German one from 1993) or „Das Boot“ (U-Boat movie) . The last two are easily two of the best WW2 movies ever made. T
The boy in the striped pyjamas, please. 🥺 Also one of the heart wrenching movies you can only stomach to see once
I can’t wait to see him react to one of the most powerful movies of all time.
Had this movie for a while but couldn't bring myself to watch it. Finally watched it for the first time today and I couldn't stop tearing up knowing that this actually happened. So heartbreaking. 💔
I definitely thought you had already thing this, it's such a classic! I suggest you take a little break from WW2 movies to recover, then watch The Pianist with Adrian Brody by Roman Polanski. Oh oh made me think of another: The Piano (1993) by Jane Campion is a masterpiece (she's the only female director to receive the Cannes Festival Palme d'Or) I'd love to have your thoughts on it
Stern was behind the change in Schindler. Stern was the one who kept trying to save the other Jews by bringing them into the factory and he was doing it behind Schindler's back at first, but you can see him slowly prodding Schindler, appealing to his humanity, throughout the movie. Stern brought the one-armed man to him intentionally, I think, to make him aware of the good Schindler was doing (only it wasn't Schindler doing it, it was Stern). But all of that finally affected Schindler and he, of course, in the end, truly did save them with his own money. Not enough credit was given to Stern who obviously was a very smart man as well.
I think this is the only movie I've seen that made me go through just about every emotion possible.
My first time watching this movie was when it came out in the theater for extra credit in 3rd grade..... Little heavy content for 3rd grade but ill never forget it.
Woah 3rd grade? I wouldve been destroyed emotionally!
I'm german and watched it in a theatre in Nürnberg. I was 19 or 20 at that time. The reaction of the audience were something I never saw before or after
The constant jamming of the firearm forced Amon to face his humanity. He was so used to just instantly killing people but with the gun jamming constantly, he had to dwell on it longer than he would’ve liked, and therefore didn’t have what it took to kill the man by the end of it.
This has been one of my favorite movies since I first saw it when I was not quite 13. I, my mother and my grandmother (born 1925, so 15-20 during the Nazi occupation of Norway) went to see it together. Later I watched it numerous times throughout my teens. Great acting, magnificent music, the atmosphere-! A masterpiece.
(My grandfather on my father's side also spent several years in Sachsenhausen as a political prisoner. He died the same year I was born, but obviously being aware of that also helps make these events feel not so very distant.)
I can definitely see how this film would have extra special meaning to you!
Robin Williams used to speak to Steven Spielberg over the phone and make him laugh while this was being shot.
17:01 I call this scene: The meaning of a miracle, edit: told you.
i ADMIT, at first i was like: reaction video to Schindlers list in 30 minutes? dont make me laugh,,,didnt want to hear it....but as i watched you i was profoundly suprised of how well you expressed almost everything i did when i have seen this for the first time about when it came out and i knew i will see amazing films and directing but nothing ever will top this for many reasons.I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS.by the way my most favorite movies of all time.THIS AND FORREST GUMP.:-)
