Most of the people who did survived the holaucost critisised Spielberg for having be to " soft " with the hard truth....
Follow Ups:
This was the first commercial film on holicost that hit me with just a glimse of the reality of that horrible part of history. Obviously I can never feel the total reality of those events because I was'nt there and have no direct relatives that were.I have read many books and seen newsreels of the discoveries that were found at the end of the war, also been to the museum in Washington D.C. This was the first time I almost felt the horror and disrespect for human life that occured during that time.
Go for " Nuit et Brouillard " and " The Sorrow and the Pity " for more insight. And when you are at it see ( or resee ) " La Grande Illusion ".
I have seen three " Death Camps ". Boy ô Boy.
n.t.
Most people? The vast minority who get a stage to shout the loudest perhaps.The film could have been a lot worse. Doctors who forced pregnant women's legs close and then forcing labour...Amon throwing kids in the air for target practice - yes there was worse but to much actually show. It doesn't serve the viewer or the story which we should remember is ABOUT Schindler and what he did. The Holocaust is the backdrop. The fact that the Backdrop is easily better than any other film on the subject's main story is just an aside.
So learn please to behave. In Germany and else where and I remember well said that Mr. Spielberg did only show a " romantised " version of the events.
Vast minority?
Is that meant to be ironic?
