ENTRY 28

Have you seen Schindler’s List? . I would like you to comment some of the main aspecst about this marvellous film.
Oskar Schindler struggles to save a group of Jews from death at the hands of the Nazis.
Schindler, a Nazi war profiteer and womanizer, upon witnessing increasing violence and killing of Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland, undergoes a slow transformation, becoming a compassionate man obsessed with saving the lives of the Jewish workers in his factory.
As Schindler witnesses the evacuation of the Kraków ghetto, he sees a little girl in a red coat. The image and the violence he witnesses so move him that his humanity is awakened, and he realizes he must do something to help.
After witnessing the evacuation of the Jewish ghetto, Schindler realizes his factory is a heaven for Jews and begins actively to give Stern expensive goods to use as bribes to bring more Jews into his factory, where he can keep them at least somewhat safe.I found this themes . The triumph of the human spirit; the difference one individual can make; the dangerous ease of denial
Lists; trains; death
The girl in the red coat; the road paved with Jewish headstones; piles of personal items.
Schindler has to rescue Stern from a train bound for a death camp, foreshadowing his eventual rescue of all of his workers. The appearance of tables for processing Jews foreshadows death. Schindler’s use of bribery early in the film for his own gain foreshadows his use of bribery to purchase the Jews.
