What was your reaction to the after watching the movie Schindler's List?

Question

What were your emotions and thoughts as you viewed the film.

Answer 1

I saw it with a friend and a half-full theatre. We all shuffled out of there deathly silent, as if it would be disrespectful to say anything until we left the theatre.

Answer 2

Those shocking moments in movie theatre were so much to me and my friends that even after coming out of the campus, we found ourselves in dumb position. The sheer apprehension about thinking that those were human who killed human and both were creations of Holy God. Even animals never do such carnage... and that too on the whim of a just single person. Hats off to Mr. Steven Spielberg for producing this stunning example for generations to come. The tribute-scene is, no doubt, a peak point of the movie where we witness the entire audience was dabbing the eyes.

Answer 3

I bought the video and watched it at home. It left a hole in my stomach. It's so hard to comprehend the way people treat people. Will we ever understand it??? I think not. After I watched the movie, I felt a wave of sadness, sympathy and love for all the people depicted in the story. And unfortunately, hated the ones who were responsible. But, by feeling hatred, it brings it back full circle. This has to stop. I pray our world is not headed for the same kinds of war....but it doesn't look good.

Answer 4

I think the bit at the end,where the actual people who the story was about, came on screen,(its a while since I saw it but didn't they lay flowers?) was truly a moving and emotional experience.It bought it home to me with a thump,that those actors weren't acting at all.They were just conveying the reality of Hitler's war,and these people were REAL.Totally horrific and riveting

Answer 5

Ambivalent. Happy, that thousand people survived 'cause of Oscar Schindler, and sad/sorrow at the same time 'cause so many people perished, and the unbelievable things that they undergone was mind blowing. Its very powerful film.

Answer 6

Shite man, what do think I felt? It made me ashamed to be German. Great movie. The part with the actual survivors putting stones on Ozcar Schindler's headstone chokes me up every time...

Answer 7

After watching Schindler's List, i first thought "What a director Steven Speilberg is!!!" and then........I was like how man do this to another man...its horrible....its like we are all hard hearted...just imagine, if your brother or sister or any loved ones were in that place what would we do???........then why do we do it to others....that's what i thought

Answer 8

Very Moving

Answer 9

i wanted to watch it again.. i have a lot of family members that were Nazi's and there is quite a bit more than was shown... they made a pandemic out of outbreak.. damn media and its making exagerations of things.. im mean let me go on a tangent for a second here.. but if Hitler(RIP) was caught and he said he was sorry and told about what happened and that things got out of control and once they got to big he couldnt stop it.. would we have treated him humanely.. (i think not).. instead he gave his wife a painless way out.. a bullet to the head.. and he wrote an apology explaining what had happened in one of the last pages of his journals.. and burned himself alive to feel the pain of his victims.. (but did the history books say that.. did the movie? i dont think so.. hitler lost his edge, he let hate consume him, but he was very intelligent, the IQ score of a genius.. but instead of being treated for who he was.. he became a monster,, the big bad wolf.. ) so what about dear old bush.. Mr. hierarchy - dictator conspiracy leader.. guess he is god eh? well i hate to tell ya hes no better than hitler..

Answer 10

I cried at the horror of it, and was just sickened that it could actually happen. I had a hard time remembering that the Nazis were human too.
