Response to Schindler's List


2. The movie Schindlers List was about what happened during the holocaust. It basically showed what he Jews went through. It was sad how they were treated. I liked how helped out the Jews so they wouldn't get killed and did whatever he could to save as much asSchindler he could. To me my favorite part was when the little boy went into the toilets to hide. Also that the little kids were smart enough to hide different places. Also how a lady just got killed for saying what they were building was wrong that was sad. I could actually feel their pain. This was one of the saddest movie I have ever seen. They people that did the movie did a really good job projecting everything from the holocaust.

3. A response to the following questions:

a. What does the word power mean to you? What does it mean to Goethe? What does it mean to Schindler? Do these people misuse power?
What the word power means to me is like someone can do whatever they want. they can order people to do somethings and that person has to do it. that who ever has power has control and authority. The word power to Schindler means having the authority to kill someone but taking the decision not to do it.


b. Schindler went from being an "antihero" to a hero. What specific events did he experience and realizations did he have to create this transformation.
Schindler did a factory to help the Jews and he made them work there so they will be doing something and not get killed. He also spent most of his money on them by helping them to survive.

c. Did you think this film was effective? Why? Why not?
I would say this movie was effective for me because i actually saw how the Jews got treated and what they went through. Through the film in a way i felt how much the jews suffered and what they felt when going through all the stuff. Overall i do think this movie was effective and it was good we watched it.
