1. Ah... are you watching that today?

[nytemare]

2. Watched it earlier.

The 10 year DVD was on sale at Target for 10 bucks. Great film, but that little girl in the dress kills me.

:(

3. Oh I know

I first saw that movie in civics class in high school. It took a week to watch. Only time I ever prayed in school.

9. I was watching a special on PBS about a Japanese businessman

much like Schindler. Here is the link.

Oh cool

Thanks for the link. Have you read "Night" yet?

[nytemare]

12. Haven't read it yet, sort of pricey

I may have to get it from e bay.

I see now he was the consulate.

14. It's hard to read

My copy is packed up or I'd send it to you.

[nytemare]

16. I have read "Man's search for Meaning" and a few others

regarding the holocaust. That book was 13 dollars, which I thought was a lot for a small book. It is on my list to read.

4. That whole movie

tears me up, and reduces me to tears. What horrific things have gone on in this world! :cry:

6. I can't grasp how you could view a whole group of humans as being animals

Sad thing is, people here think we are not capable of it. People bristle when the administration is compared to Nazi Germany. Really, what are these movies made for if not to remember, and prevent something like that from happening again? I know obviously that we are not engaging in genocide, and don't come close to what Germany was, but our loss of freedoms and practice of torture abroad does not bode well. Everything has a beggining. I just hope it will end soon.

I wonder about voting machines in the Nov election.

5. That was a touching scene

in a very powerful movie.

[nytemare]

7. Wasn't it?

Poor little girl.

[bigwillq]

8. Of course I was crying my eyes out!

I am such the movie crier! :cry:

[nytemare]

10. I think the scene at the end where he breaks down was sad, too.

Rationalizing what he could have sold to save one more person.

[bigwillq]

15. Indeed.

:cry:

[Broken_Hero]

26. that part

hits me the most...i watched this movie in the theater three times, and i cried each time, at that particlaur part, when he is going nuts, crying, saying his nazi gold pin, could have saved another life, or two...maybe three...damn it...:(

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. Isn't that from "Schindler's List"?

Never seen the movie, but I've heard people talk about that scene....

:hi:

[nytemare]

13. Yep, that is it.

Very good film.

[bigwillq]

17. You must see the movie.

I thought it was very powerful.

:hi:

[Mutley]

18. Reminds you that there are more important things

than your own problems.

[nytemare]

22. It really is amazing what Schindler did.

It had to take courage and cleverness to pull it off.

19. Schindler's List was put out while I was still at Universal

and I saw it with other employees at a special screening. We had been working on a lot of DTS productions since Steven Spielberg and Universal were working with the creators of DTS and distributing all films from Amblin and Universal with it. The theatre was one of the first equipped with the new sound system.

All the employees had working on the movie in some capacity, so we knew some of what was going on. I brought my nieces with me to see it. I knew there were some really gruesome parts, but when you've seen the film with all of the stuff in context, it's a shock.

During the screenings, it was common to talk about elements and such, but during the showing of Schindler's List, there was almost complete silence. And at the very end, there was stunned silence. Complete and utter silence--except for a few sobs here and there. For even jaded entertainment workers, it had a major impact. I haven't seen it since. I don't want to--the impact was quite enough the first time.

[bigwillq]

20. Wow.

Thanks for sharing that story.



:hug:

21. I saw the film for the first time recently

and I agree that was probably the most disurbing and memorable part from the film. What's worse, is seeing the coat in the cart, which leads you to believe she was killed.

It's a tough movie to watch and I know that I can't watch it ever again.

[nytemare]

23. The lack of color except the red coat and the candle flames was well done.

I like the end where they show the Schindler Jews putting stones on his grave. It was good to see how many of them there were.

[khashka]

24. Damn! I thought you meant "Don't Look Now"!

But with so many people I like and respect talking about it.... I need to get hold of a copy.

Thanks, kids! I'll check it out.

Khash.

25. weird, or coincidence
