I'm about half way through the movie right now I think.

just wow...

 

[bubbatd]

It was a very good movie !

 

[RedyreRottweilers]

I saw it in the theatre. Very powerful.

My favorite part is right near the end when he's evaluating everything.


As much as I can say without spoiling it but it's a good scene.

I saw it last year in History class, AMAZING movie.

My favorite part is right near the end when he's evaluating everything.

If it's the same part I'm thinking of that was my favorite as well (like the very end but before the present day part), it's so powerful, I think I was near/in tears from that part on.

 

[Aurora171989]

i think i just finished watching the scene you two are talking about.

I agree, just wow....

If you notice there only 2 coloured things in the movie and have significant meaning, but I dont wanna spoil it you will have to go watch it to find out

 

[GlassOnion]

I noticed the two colored parts (IIRC the girl's red shirt and the candles; excluding the very end of course) but I didn't catch any significance to it.

 

[Lilavati]

Depending on who you ask, they mean different things. My understanding is that the candles symbolized light and hope, and thus were in color.

The little girl's coat serves a different purpose . .you see her twice: once running through the ghetto, and the other time among the bodies they are disinterring . . . the coat is colored so you can realize the same thing that Schindler does . . .that the mangled corpse is the same child that he saw in the ghetto.

 

[GlassOnion]

Only saw the coat once. I guess the second time he saw her she was dead?

Was the second time in Auschwitz or wherever they were burning the mass amount of bodies?

 

[Pam111]

I loved that movie, though, of course, it made me cry

 

[smkie]

I saw it in the theater as well. I had my daughter on one side and Jim on the other asking me questions all the way through, they just about drove me nuts.

 

[Fran27]

The second time, if I remember well, is just on a cart in the street, where lot of bodies piled up.

I cried like a little girl at that movie (saw it in the theater). And I cried too when I watched Life is Beautiful two days ago...

 

[Snark]

Haven't seen it but now I think I need to go get it. My pediatrician and his wife (she was the office manager) were both survivors. I remember her telling us about it and showing the tattoo on her arm. Our babysitter (this was before the days of childcare centers) was also a survivor.
It's just amazing to me that some people still deny the Holocaust ever took place...

Dead, when they were burning all the bodies.

 

[Boemy]

It was an incredible movie. I was lucky enough to have a high school teacher who took us all to see it (in the theatre!) We all cried.

 

[Punkygirl0101]

The first time I saw it I was about 10 and my mom made us watch it. And I didn't understand it. Then I saw it again in High school my freshman year. Then we saw it again a few months ago.

Its a good movie. I try to watch it every couple of years.

 

[bubbatd]

Having known many people whose families went through those days , it's always haunted me . My music teacher escaped , but lost her whole family .....so did my XSIL's step mother ... along with their horses and homes . She should write a book ! She was Eisenhower's German translator . A fasinating lady !

 

[Juicy]

Never seen it, but want to.

I've seen Life Is Beautiful, and I cried.

My entire school was taken to see it in the theater (it was a small private school) but my boyfriend and I had seen it the weekend before, before we knew about the class trip. We had to talk to the principal about it, we just couldn't bear to see it again so soon. It was so good, but so emotionally moving. We ended up taking volintary detention rather than going. Afterwards, the principal told us that he understood, having seen it, why we couldn't see it again two weeks later!
