Film Lesson: Night and Fog

Some reactions i had to "Night and Fog" were just like sadness because i felt bad for the people who died and the way they died. I found the film very powerful because of some of the scenes that were actual from what happened in the holocaust like little clips from real life in the concentration camp of the holocaust. "Night and Fog" compares scenes from "Schindler's List" because it almost the same as the clips from real life situatuions and living in the concentration camps, but people are acting the scenes out in Schindlers list instead of it being real. I think "Night and Fog" was more effective and illustrated the holocaust because it had real clips from the holocaust and real pictures from the holocaust how people died and how they starved. In the pictures you can see how people were skinny and boney, and how they gased and killed people. the documentary showed the holocaust more effectively.

Film Lesson: Schindler's List

"Schindler's List" illustrated the Holocaust because it had scenes showing the real happenings of what happened during the holocaust and what the jews went through and what happened to them. The movie illustrated all the cruel things that the nazi's did to the jews. The most powerful scene that captured me was when the nazi's where evacuating the jews from the ghettos to get them to the labor camps and Schindler was looking over them from the mountains and this little girl with a red jacket was walking around trying to hide. Then when germany had to shut down the camps and burn all evidence and the people, Schindler came and saw the little girls red jacket and her in the pileof burned people. The images of people suffering and dieing and getting burned will stay with me.
