Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"


Some of my reactions to "Night and Fog" were, surprised, sorry for the jews. Yes, i did find the film as powerful as you did, because the scenes were so dramatic and it was all true and it was so eye popping and it was like you can hardly belive it. The scenes in Schindler's List were not as powerful as the one in "Night and Fog" because first you already know that Schindler's List is just a really great movie and the scenes were not as dramatic but in the film "Night and Fog" you know that these scenes are real and that they really happened and also how they treated the bodies and cut the heads off and used the fat to make soap and used the hair as wool and the Nazi's still kept all of the belongings from the jews it was so horrifying but also it shows what the jews had to go through. I think that the documentary illustrates the Holocaust more effectively than the Hollywood version because the documentary is REAL stuff.


Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"



The film, Schindler's list, illustrated the Holocaust because it shows how the Nazi's tried to annihilate the jews during world war 2. the Nazi's were brutal mean and extremely harsh. the separated the children from their mothers and killed them all so they do not reproduce a new jewish population. the scenes that were most powerful to me as a viewer is The liquidation of the Krakow ghetto, because when the Nazi's rampaged through the ghetto, the Nazi's killed thousands of jewish people. who ever they found that was jewish was shot over 20 times. useful workers were shot like they were nothing. people that were found hiding were shot and killed with their family with no thinking what wrong they did or what did they do to deserve this. Because of Adolf Hitlers sick twisted mind millions of jews were killed. the images from the film will stay with me are the images of the children being taken away from their parents. I felt very sorry for the parents and especially the children because the children didn't do anything wrong to deserve what happened to them.

US Atomic Bombing of Japan in 1945


i do agree that the US Atomic Bombing of Japan is the #1 news story of the century, because it was the most deadliest thing that ever happened at that time and also affected the future due to the radiation, the radiation affected birth and breathing problems which killed many other of Japaneses people. I think that the lucky ones died due to the impact of the atomic bombing, because the people that died after 10 years are the ones that suffered and went through the most, because they witnessed the bombing and they still survived and got sick and went through a lot of pain. i don't think their was anything bigger than the atomic bombing of japan in that century. I wouldn't add anything to the list of top 100 news stories of the century, i would probably change the orders of a few things.
