Methods of Torture #10: Movie and book comparison

After watching Conspiracy and Schindler's List I realize which film I like more.Conspiracy was a good film because you felt like you got into the minds of the Nazis and experienced the arguments and battles of what to do with the Jews. Schindler's List was also a great film because of it's real life setting of the holocaust and how it felt like I too was living in the concentration camp and being pushed around by the Nazis who I knew could kill anyone at any moment. In my opinion Schindler's List was a more interesting film because it contained so much of what happened in the Jews eyes. It was devastating to see people killed and thrown around but that was the reality that the Jews could not escape. Throughout the film I would also think back to the story Night and relate it to this film. A scene of the film that was also in the story Night was when people were packed onto trains very thirsty, hungry and hardly able to breathe. That's why I liked Schindler's List because it gave me a view of the holocaust as a Jew.
