I remember watching this in the theater with my uncle who was currently serving in the USAF in Germany and knew veterans of both sides. He was sobbing. Toughest guy I’ve ever met.

I watched “The Pianist” first, and I thought that would make watching “Schindler’s List” like a walk in the park. I was so wrong. That film wrecked me.

Um I’m pretty sure some of those Germans saw it first hand 👴

I saw it with my dad who served in WWII. As we left the theater he said something that absolutely stunned me: “I thought that movie was supposed to be about bootlegging.”

First dude was a former Nazi who thought he was being ambushed about his role in the war

It’s easy to get people riled up with largely fictional stories. This film is heavily fictionalized. But when we watched it as kids we weren’t really told that.

Most Germans know Schindler, but it seems that not many Germans know about John Rabe.
He was a Nazi, but during the Nanking Massacre, he rescued hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians from the Japanese
He is still seen as a hero by people in China.

Some of them are old enough to have loved through Nazi Germany…

I am very aware what happened, I have a huge interest in history and the movie was still a total throat punch because it humanized the suffering to a degree reading a history book or watching an old newsreel can’t match…

India’s Brahminical system is far worse than this even today. The world isn’t paying attention to Brahminical upper caste atrocities towards to lower castes, Dalit untouchables and native tribes.

Great movie, but part of a massive🧃propaganda machine to play the victim card whenever its beneficial.

They made us go to the movie theater to watch this in highschool. First time I’ve ever heard of a field trip as a group to the movies.

SL came out when I was working as a projectionist in a second run theatre. We were also running Aladdin for the weekend matinees.
One Saturday matinee, I loaded up the first 6000 ft reel of Aladdin onto projector 1 and started it up. I noticed projector 2 already had the reel loaded, so I went downstairs to hang out. We had an auto-changeover system that seamlessly switched over to the second reel of the film halfway through. But, being diligent, I always went into the theatre to watch and make sure the changeover went ok. Unfortunately, I hadn’t checked to see exactly what was loaded onto projector 2.
So, when Aladdin rubbed the lamp and Robbin Williams’ genie was supposed to fly out onto the screen, what the theatre full of kids got instead was a black and white screenfull of Kristallnacht Nazis blowing the shit out of everything in site.
Needless to say, I was dealing with a lot of pissed off parents, screaming kids and handing out refunds for the next two hours.

I for one am very proud Dane that Danmark essentially acted as a whole Schindler country helping to smuggle almost all Danish Jews to Sweden by sea!

Yet here we are again. Will we see a plethora of films depicting the genocide now in Palestine from Palestinian filmmakers in the future!? I hope so.

i’m a Jew. Holocaust movies lost the power to move me as soon as it became clear that most Jews and the leadership of Israel only meant “never again” when it was genocide against Jews and fuck everybody else.
Netanyahu and the people that keep electing him make me sick. They make me ashamed. They make me ashamed of people I love.

Went to see ‘Pearl Harbor’ in Japan – didn’t matter what country you were from, all of us were disappointed by it.
