Schindler's List (1993)
1 commented-on entry since 20 Nov '25, 23:12
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Kingsley, Caroline Goodall
Continuity mistake: When Schindler is leaving the factory, at the end of the movie, he starts to sob "I could have saved more". Two women approach him from the left side and hug him. When the angle changes the women are back behind and repeat the whole movement again.
Reiter: I'm a graduate of Civil Engineering from the University of Milan.
Amon Goeth: Ah, an educated Jew... Like Karl Marx himself. Unterscharfuehrer!
Hujar: Jawohl?
Amon Goeth: Shoot her.
Reiter: Herr Kommandant! I'm only trying to do my job!
Amon Goeth: Ja, I'm doing mine.
Trivia: Director Steven Spielberg refused to accept any money for the film because he thought it would be inappropriate. He had no salary, and he diverted any money on the back end that would have gone to him to the Shoah Foundation, which records testimonies of the survivors of genocide.
Question: The Jews in the film are mostly small people, but the Germans are tall. Why?
Correction: Many of the men would not be circumcised because a lot of their families were not practising Jews and were only deemed to be Jewish by the Nazis even if only one grandparent was Jewish. In addition, there weren't only Jews in the camps, but Gypsies, POWs, homosexuals, political dissidents, and other "undesirables."
Yet it is true that not only Jews were in camps; only they used the David star in their clothes, and in the scene, it is noticeable it is stitched to the clothes they were carrying. So the scene intended to depict Jewish people. Regarding the other real historical reasons presented to explain why being Jewish, they were not circumcised, I have no idea what percentage of them would apply and what the chance of it would be in a randomly chosen scene. Or even if that was intentionally considered in the movie.
