Film Lesson: Schindler's list

The Film "Schindler's List" was interesting beyond belief! Honestly, most historically based films are usually very uninteresting to me. This movie, however, caught my attention and kept me very intrigued. Though the events may have ahd a bit of dramatization to the actual events, it still portrayed the occurances around Oscar Schindler extremely well. The scene that stuck to me the most was the scene when all the children were, unknowingly, being driven off to their doom with their familes watching them knowing of their fate to be.

Film Lesson: night and fog

The film "Night and Fog" was extremely interesting. It was a new experience to see the cruelties of the Nazi Party first hand. Seeing a basket full of dismembered heads, along with the crater of bodies. The film itself was fairly different from the movie "Shindler's List" due to the fact that, "Shindler's list" was a hollywood dramatization of the occurences that occured around the man Oscar Shindler. "Night and Fog" however, was a documentary using actual clips from the death camp Aushwitz, during and after it was in operation.
