The thing that stood out to me most in the film, Schindler's List is the violence and how it was portrayed. The movie successfully enticed a sense of reality and fear as well as a perception that the audience was actually there inside the concentration camps. Throughout the movie, countless acts of unbelievable brutal violence was inflicted upon many of the captive Jews; I was surprised at how feelingless each Nazi solider or guard looked when they would kill or mutilate a person. Especially Amon Goeth, who randomly shot, beat and tortured countless people that never inflicted anything upon him. I think it's terrible when people like him, who have no value of human life and enjoy the suffering of others, get into a powerful position in which they are allowed to do whatever they want. The depiction of the violence was clear and brutal, I still can't wrap my head around how people actually administered that kind of destruction in real life and history.
