Brutality and Violence
I think what struck me the most in the film Schindlers List was how the German soilders were portrayed. Before I even watched the film, I new about the brutalllity that the Jews were faced with, but what I did not notice how two sided the German soilders were. For example, a German soilders "normal day" at a concentration camp would be killing acouple innocent Jews and then strolling over to a German party. Amon Goeth, the man in charge of the Krakow camp, was shown numerous times in the movie killing Jews for no reason. On the other hand most German soilders had normal lives before entering the war. Meaning that they had a family, wife and kids. But, once they got into the war there demeanor and cause for justice completely changed. However near the end of the movie the violence steadily declined.
