Schindler's List is an intense, historical, view of an emotional and traumatic time period in World History. I invite you to respond to what you are viewing on screen. The actions of individuals, the events as they unfold, the thoughts you have about how the film speaks to you

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.
