To have gone through the first...then second click...then hearing a new pistol come out....must have been the longest seconds of life for the person kneeling.
This movie is fiction. Look it up.
@@Bucephalus84 I know....saw it the movies when it came out....30 years ago.
Wait....are saying that Holocaust was a fiction?
@@Bucephalus84 Fiction is all people care about. They can't stand the truth
@@Bucephalus84 how is it fiction?
@@tattooninja what's the truth
The way the Rabbi closes his eyes when Amon says "such a small pile of hinges" is so heartbreaking.
I know you would think being in that situation would motivate those people to work, but it's in their religion to not work. They run scams to have people do their bidding. Truly malignant people.
the movie is pure propaganda and designed to make you feel sympathy for the satanic state of israel.
you think? czcams.com/users/shorts0Y6QAvhzcG8
whats heartbreaking is that satanic illuminati runs usa and nato and previously nazi germany.
It almost looks like he’s saying prayers in his head or something I wonder if that was intentional or if I’m just thinking to much of it
Ralph Fiennes is a MOUNTAIN of acting. He portrays villains and heroes so well, it is insane!
@@markdavis7397 He was great in The Menu too
Strange Days just 2 years after this he portrays a lovable loser down on his luck. Talk about a change from Goeth
I flipped over when I realized he played Voldemort in Harry Potter as well.
@@markdavis7397 YOU’RE AN INANIMATE OBJECT!!
He is. I think Ezra does quite a job to.
What makes Amon so sadistic is he was planning to kill him from the beginning but wants to play with the worker's emotions first before doing so, like it's a fun game for him. First by implying the worker is pretty much doing an interview for his life and if he makes a good hinge quickly, he will be spared. And then even giving him couragement and false hope by telling him he's doing a good job.
Humans have a peculiar ability to be evil in poetic ways like this. Another example is Japanese soldiers during WWII would take babies from their mothers and before impaling the babies on the end of their bayonets, they would make faces to the babies and tickle them and make them laugh.
@@justaguy328that is so fucked
@@justaguy328 Yet somehow nobody discusses these atrocities that the Japanese commited against women and children. Not their citizens nor their current government even have the balls to acknowledge that it happened at all
This movie is a work of fiction... Same as the novel.
That's bullcrap. Amon would have spared him if he saw that the box was full of hinges. Also if he didn't see any other type of distraction, he wouldn't have killed him.
Gotta love that triumphant Universal music awkwardly jammed in to the end of this hard to watch scene.
ahahaha
Евреи создали кинокомпании Голливуда.
Yeah that’s pretty sick
How remorselessly fast and without any thought at all he pulls the trigger for the first "shot" is always staggering to me.
It's a movie. Try it in real life. It's much different.
@@sgt.thundercok4704 In real life psychopaths would care much less and use something else to get the job done.
As guy above said it's only because it's a movie. in real life the SS soldiers having humanity in them is the whole reason germany created the gas chambers. Because many SS soldiers started feeling remorse and often commited suicide because they were unable to live with themselves. Gas chambers made it easier to kill a fellow human.
@@sgt.thundercok4704 This was based on a real person who actually did those things.
@@sgt.thundercok4704 are you for real?
Always a daunting situation when your boss and couple of senior execs come to your desk and ask "What are you making?"
It's been a while since I've seen this movie, but to even risk slacking off when you're being forced into labor by the NAZIS is asking for death.
@@nahor88 it was free for all you could work harder than anyone else and still be killed
Underrated comment ahah
"You disappointed, apparently...."
@John Martlew you've never worked in a factory, and it shows!
For me it remains a mystery why Ralph Fiennes was not awarded an Oscar for this performance in this film.
It's not really a mystery. Only one person can win a year so lots of great performances don't get Oscars. He was nominated at least so he did get some recognition.
Because Nazi = Bad
Roger Ebert called it the Star 80 Syndrome after Eric Roberts being nominated for his role in Star 80. He said, “Hollywood will not reward someone for playing a creep, no matter how good the performance is.”
So who won the Oscar on his category?
@@aresdonachelo5283I don’t know his name but he played the detective in “The Fugitive”
It took me a while to realize the guns never went off because of Schindler sabotaging the ammunition in his factory.
I also read somewhere that Goth himself was terrible in maintaining his firearms which was why both guns wouldn't work, but I think it's much stronger if the reason the Rabbi was save was because of sabotaged ammo.
If you don’t notice, everytime goeth and his aids pulled the the Luger P08 and the CZ 27 slide, not a single round comes out. Most likely the ammunition got stuck in the magazine .
There are two times in the movie where you can see Amon having a mental struggle with what he's doing in the moment. The first is any scene with Helen. The second time is here. When he can just take out a pistol and shoot someone, he can keep them not human. But you can see, as the Rabbi is talking Amon is getting not mad, but mentally rattled. His eyes start blinking rabidly. He looks away at the other two soldiers. His breathing gets faster. In that moment, he sees him as human and it makes him furious. That's why he didn't have him killed when he finally hit him with the pistol. He could have. The other soldiers had pistols too. They would have worked. But by then he just couldn't and had to walk away, furious that he allowed himself to get rattled, and even more furious with himself that he was letting the rabbi live.
and the scene with the man, who clears the suitcases away
I don't think it was a moment of humanity as much as it was childish frustration that he didn't get what he wanted. He lived for that moment of feeling power over somebody powerless, and suddenly he got blueballed by circumstance.
He was flustered because he had lost control of the situation and there was nothing he could do about it. He could take one of the other guns and use them, but not only would it make him feel like he needed somebody else's help, killing him at that point would make him seem petty.
Its like if you tried to look cool and tripped over your shoelaces and fell on your face. You can get back up and try it again, but once the moment is gone, it's gone.
@@stevem7192 Evil of this magnitude doesnt really work that way... Individuals can be psychopaths, individuals can be devoid of empathy. For there to be this many people afflicted by callousness collectively... it has to start with ideas. The nazi's really did believe that they were the good guys. That the jews deserved it.
Its scary to think that this could happen to any society.
I have to disagree. If you know the history of the Commandant, you know he isn't in any way conflicted here. He is just angry that he is trying to murder somebody and is having trouble doing so.
Reminded me of Hogans Hero’s
Spielberg contracted several of the former inmates of Plasow as consultants for the film; apparently when Fiennes came out of makeup and wardrobe for shooting on their first day, the "consultants" were pretty freaked out...
Откуда американцам знать как было на самом деле /у США нет истории и культуры поэтому они копируют чужое .
"oy vey, its happening again"
Oy veyyyy
It's like anuda shoah!
Even the guns were like "thats enough"
It's also chilling how the other two officers are discussing why the gun isn't firing with the condemned prisoner still kneeling there as though he's of no consequence.
@VinAr Run I don't know, why is every film set in England in medieval times not speaking in old english? Why does everyone in Star Wars not speak Galactic Basic or Huttese? It's called artistic license. These are nazis, I don't think they so much as deserve commitment to the realism this film has already given to them.
@@vinarrun3622
There are actually scenes where they do speak German in this movie, lol. But for your question, if they made the actors speak german the entire movie, the movie wouldn't have been as popular to Anglophone audiences (i.e. most of the world)
It’s genius filmmaking. Filmaço.
Caused it's made in America intended for American audiences
wow so deep
I bet that hand crafted door hinge worked flawlessly though.
I bet the Inglorious Basterds would loved to teach Amon here a 'lesson in humanity'
@SHAZAM yeah but what if the inglorious basterds actually met Amon? Would be interesting. If this didn't happen the inglorious basterds would never exist
@@dumann9142 thats a joke of a movie
@@dumann9142 basterds is a comedy
Nothing to do with this
@SHAZAM This movie is not fiction, kid. Don't believe everything you hear on 4chan.
The rabbi was the character I sympathised with the most. That whole moment must've been unbearably traumatising and tough to the point you'd almost perversely want to die once you're spared to prevent it happening again... once Oskar listed him, the way he said "thank you direktor" as if he'd been given a raise at work, and not just his life back to him and a bit more protection.... his face in that scene was utterly heartbreaking. Was so wholesome and sweet and grateful.
The way, wherever you see him he takes his cap off to talk, and puts back on to work... such manners, for obvious reasons, but still. This character really stuck with me..
You know this whole movie is a ruse, right?
You know all of this is just made up right?
@@gh87716 whether it's a ruse or not it was effective in what it did to people
@@gh87716 Hundreds of first-hand accounts. Multiple books with multiple sources have been written about this specific story. Entire documentaries with interviews with survivors and their children are available on CZcams for your free viewing pleasure. What crappy corner of the internet produces people like you?
@@gh87716 What do you mean? I'm german and I've been to these places. The people are real. The story of Oskar Schindler saving over 1000 jews from deportation is also real. There are records, pictures, family trees, testimonies of survivors and so on. The details are, of course, Hollywood.
While I see this scene very dark, but that gun is like refusing to shoot a man who made it.
Especially ironic considering that Schindler’s factory purposely made duds on purpose.
@@jamesdragonforcehe made artillery shells, not small arms munitions.
@@alexander1902 They still count as war materials either way. The difference is only the size and role. Both still kill at the end of the day.
@@jamesdragonforce I misread your comment. I likely think it had to do with Ralph's real life character being lazy and undisciplined and not maintaining his guns in working condition, not necessarily dud rounds.
He made hinges
Fienne's snaps because it exposes the facade, laying bare just how evil they, and especially he, are. The frustration and then the Rabbi explaining he was taken off the job that morning.
There was a production mistake in this scene: the second weapon with which he tries to shoot is clearly a pistol. When he gives up, and gives the gun away to the other officer, that is a revolver.
Specifically a CZ vz 27
I remember commenting this years ago lol
Must have been the best shot that they made that followed up and they decided it was a minor price to pay.
Then let us demand a reshoot to correct this most evil of evils. He who must not be named still lives, there is still time!
It was probably because the gun he used could not be dropped so they just used a revolver prop with less moving parts.
There are so many nuances in this film. The moment Goeth mentions the amount of hinges, Levartow knows his faith is sealed; there is no point in making excuses as it's already been decided he's to be shot. Only when Goeth is thrown off by the malfunctioning pistol is there a chance of changing his mind, from execution to frustrated assault; and Levratow does so by providing a reason for the low production numbers.
Ralph Fiennes was a class act in this film.Indeed, any film he acted in.kudos to all in this. History to be remembered
This is a crazy episode of how it’s made.
Having seen this a few times over the years, I realized I wasn't even breathing during the last scene. The work done in this film is amazing.
Such a great imagination! Amazing creativity!
A lot of fools in the comment would say “it’s Jewish miracle!”
No you fools! It’s movie miracle.
If he was cocking the gun so much wouldn’t the bullets come out the side until it was empty
That would mean both guns were unloaded or failing to cycle.
Further meaning Göth was stupid!
@@actioncom2748 Or maybe those officers just wanted to fuck with somebody by dry firing unloaded weapons.
@@Shawn_White Göth doesn't strike me as a guy who likes to dry fire weapons at people.
@@actioncom2748 Indeed this definitely seems out of character.
@@actioncom2748 Well we all knew that! (That Goth was stupid)
When he walks away he drops a totally different gun.
He keeps racking the semi auto slide but not a single cartridge was ejected
That would mean both guns were unloaded or failing the cycle.
Furth meaning Göth was stupid!
Yeah! He dropped a revolver, and he was using a pistol. (The one after the Luger). Production mistake.
Alot of arms and munitions were similarly being produced by slave labor. The slave laborers sometimes sabotaged the weapons/munitions in subtle ways.
@@actioncom2748 LOL... really good point. Repeatedly pulling the slide would have ejected the bullets. It's fascinating how 9mm's today work exactly the same, assuming that's being depicted accurately here.
@@nahor88 vz.27 is 7.65mm not 9mm
Devastating film and one of the greatest and most important cinematic achievements of all time
Cant agree more.
No argument there. Terry Gilliam tried to shit on it by saying that it is a "Cop-out of a movie" because the Jews survived, but 1) If this is his idea of a cop-out, then Idk what his idea of serious is and 2) The fact that the Jews survived is the *point,* jackass. Good lord.

You’re welcome
5:08 the way he puts out his hand and is like “gimmy gimmy” 😂
It hit when my dad said " god intervention" during this scene
That scene shocked me as a kid seeing it how without remorse or thought they'd pull the trigger, like men standing around a car trying to get the engine to start and it's no big deal, sad how a lot of this really happened
You know they brainwashed you right? This is all BS.
It still is, just other locations on the planet.
@@Balalaika74they brainwashed all of us. It's a literal satanic abuse ritual, on all of us.
A person doesn’t need even listen to the things that they are saying to understand see and feel the fear, and pain these people who were brutally abused.
Really good film this. Good storyline.
I always thought there was something oddly comedic about when the gun jams a second time and Fiennes goes "oh christ..." and then the other nazis bumble around with the gun, Its like for a split second it becomes a three stooges skit or something. But it only became a funny scene in hindsight after I already knew the old man didn't die at the end of it.
Grotesque more than comedic, it's the juxtaposition of the horror felt by the man who's about to die, and the men who are annoyed by the gun jamming. It's tuesday for them.
It’s not meant to be funny, it’s meant to portray the fact that in their minds they have no magnitude of what it is that they are about to do because it’s just another day at the office for them. If you don’t see your victims as people, then you don’t need to feel for them in terms of what you are about to do to them.
Pretty sure it doesn’t fire because it isn’t loaded. He keeps racking the slide but nothing is ejecting
That's because the ejector didn't work and the bullet got stuck in the chamber.
@@brav0wingon both guns? Youre giving them too much credit. Its just a movie goof

When Amon Goeth throws that gun away, it miraculously turns into a S&W revolver.😂🧨
Never work extra hard in front of your boss.
I find it hilarious how they're discussing the reason why the pistol isn't firing as if it's a normal sunday morning
pretty much the whole point. All to show that killing is nothing to them. Just a typical occurrence like filing forms.

This scene put me on the edge of my seat more than any other in the movie. Tragically the real life rabbi who this character was based on was killed by car in New York city in the late.60s.
What? The movie is an adaptation of a fiction book of the same name. None of these people exist. Similar events may have happened obviously.

The scene with the two guns seems like the screenwriters made this up but it actually happened in real life
Reality often surpasses fiction because God doesn't have to care about a movie critic saying that it wasn't realistic afterwards.
@@danielmp2085 So many gun factories the Germans captured, the workers produced intentionally defective guns constantly. This isn't as farfetched as people might want to think. A youtube channel for WW2 guns opened a brand new crate of Czech-made WW2 Mauser rifles and every single one had the same defective sights causing shooters to miss.

There is a continuity error, when he drops the gun to the ground it is suddently a revolver :)
Has anyone else ever noticed that the pistols never ejected an unfired round?

Strange editing mistake that his semi-automatic changes into a revolver as he drops it
That's extremely accurate with the Opel Blitz - military transport truck. This is an exceptional and heavy film. I was always pissed at my father for taking me to see it in theaters when I was 10
He was so proud of showing Amon his speed of making hinges he never thought about the hinges in the box
One of the best films ever made.

Great film
Even though I know this scene so we'll by now, where they walk away at the very end and the officer pulls the trigger one more time, I keep expecting it to fire.
Ralph Fiennes did deserve an Oscar
Shut up about the Oscars. Only morons care about that.
this movie is masterpiece
Just a little hat man propaganda. Many ppl went through worse shit and nobody gave a shit
I'm sorry, but what is an "angle lever" on a Luger P-08? Was he trying to refer to the "toggle"? Any gunsmiths out there? Please clarify. Thank you.
For some reason I remember it going off when he pointed it in the air after they let the guy go
Omg, never realised that the gun that he toasts in the ground is a revolver, different gun than the one that he actually used to try to kill the poor guy...
Actually there are three guns in this scene. The first semi-auto that didn't work, the second semi-auto that didn't work , and the revolver ( for the life of me I don't know how a film maker like Spielberg didn't catch that that glaring continuity fail ) that he dropped at the end of the scene.
Yeah, yep. That was my take-away from this scene, as well. Not the representation of the atrocities committed in the camps, not the great, harrowing performances, not chilling lines like "I need to make room", but a gun continuity error.
@@Jennyfischit is an error, so obviously people can point it out.
If you notice, there's a prop mistake where he has a 9mm initially in the scene, drops the gun, and in this shot it's a revolver
If only ..
I always wondered why Amon didn’t borrow one of the other officer’s gun or had the officers “shoot him right there on his authority”… he clearly wanted the Rabi dead no? 🤔
The way he's leaning away from the gun in anticipation is too real.
Wait until he has a chat with the guy making the firing pins.
I was this film every few years so that I never forget what good can do in the face of unspeakable evil.
The demons that run USA ran the nazis and they were behind the holocaust so they could justify the state of israel. Say bye to your future. They are behind covid too.
I was this film once today
You mean evil that never existed
@@ronlacker326 what evil never existed?
@@ronlacker326 Tell us more,Ron...
Fun fact: the gun he drops walking away is a revolver. Even though a second ago he was holding a semi automatic pistol.
I just noticed that myself... why did they make such an obvious error?
@@rickoshay5525 Because the sample gun they had on set was too nice to drop.
Fun fact : The Holohoax was just thst
Amon Goeth, charming as always
The most deeply unsettling part for me is how matter-of-fact are these guards while discussing possible causes of the guns' malfunctions. To them it is nothing but a daily trifle. Had the gun fired - they would probably forget about another human being they murdered in a matter of minutes.
Ralph Fiennes deserved an oscar in this movie . i kid you not , i had a nightmare about him when i first watched this movie . to this day i fear him for this role
Notice all the Jewish prisoners running in the background. When instead, if all of them would have of rushed the 3 Germans, they could have killed Amon who was weaponless at that moment. They would have eventually died anyway, but at least they would have killed Amon who had no working gun..
I imagine if they had found out then that he was a Rabbi, they’d find a third gun that worked.
Also excellent acting from Ezra Dagan.
Love this movie
Ahh yes... a documentary about working in Amazon
Как там вшивая Америка ?(Чарли Чаплин )
I mean I can see the one lugar not working, the early lugars were somewhat unreliable from what I understand. But it really pulls me out of the immersion when the second pistol also won't fire. The odds of that are just astronomical. Highly unlikely.
I think that it is not supposed to be realistic I like to think of it like some sort of miracle
In the original novel this didn't happen, they jumped the shark with the movie adaptation.
Awesomeness
4:27 Death hanging over his shoulder
Anyone else notice he dropped a revolver at the end instead of the semi-automatic handgun?
No....was taking in the whole scene, like the group of folks in the back who stumbled upon the scene, and ran away when they saw what was going down. Meanwhile, you're checking for continuity mistakes. You get an extra lollipop after class!!
@@garyspence2128 I've actually been watching this film since it came out in 1993 and love everything about it and the story it tells. I had never notice the change in handguns until recently. So why you're being a smartass beats me, have a lovely day.

@@shmoga I am a janitor at Amazon and this made me cry
It was actually 3 pistols not 2, at the end of the clip you can also see a revolver that didn’t fire as well, when Amon walks off he tries his revolver as well and when it doesn’t work he throws it on the ground.
I looked closely, and I think it might be a bad cut or a continuity error. If you look at it, it turns from a semi-auto pistol from before it cuts to him walking away, to the revolver when the scene cuts to the shot of him walking away. So, it's still 2 guns, not 3.
Whole scene is hard to watch, but it turns my stomach when they’re hand adjusting his head for a clear head shot. All while he’s explaining his reason for the subpar amount of finished hinges.

@@hairglowingkyle4572 no what i meant is a big name studio know for fast cars dinosaurs and minions is willing to make a very tragic movie like this one.
@@isaachernandez2592 ah true true
It's in the fiction category for a reason.
The guns were empty or had bad magazines. No shells ejected from the chamber which meant the gun was not chambering a round. The luger had magazine feeding issues in ww2, some mags would not line up with action causing the gun to fail to strip a round. If the guards used a p38 they would have had more blood on their hands.
Looking closer at it, I think the ppk didnt fire because the dude didnt put bullets in it. Everytime he cocks it no bullet gets ejected. He forgot to put the magazine in.
The other two officers casually testing the gun while point it at the head of the rabbi... It would be almost funny if it weren't chilling.
The Swindlers List
Knowing your gonna die, then hearing all those racks and clicks. I can't imagine the psychological torture.
The look on his face when his own service pistol is not working 😅
Funny enough there have actually been times recorded in history in which guns failed to shoot when they were to execute someone, as if they had guardian angel protecting them, there were one event I cannot remember the name of the guy but he was gonna be shot by a firing squad by law because he killed someone, 3 soldiers with rifles aimed and pulled the trigger all 3 guns failed to fire, they reloaded and tried again and still failed.
After that the commander tried to use his pistol, his execution was rescheduled, however a week later it turned out he was innocent after new evidence appeared and he was set free.
I do not believe in God or some crazy religious theory, but stuff like this seems too good to just be by chance, there is definitely a little nudge in the way that some of us have a set time to live, and we are not allowed to go until that time has come.
