"Driving Miss Daisy," with Morgan Freeman, Jessica Tandy and Dan Aykroyd. Absolutely beautiful movie. Also, it's a low budget film that became famous.

[@louylau100]

That thing with this "patreons" organisation witch is a problem to me... not that I'm greedy NO, NO 😮 ! I'm French, handicaped, with two children to raise on my own. Months are tight for bills and food. Beeing asked for money to "participate" is impossible and always reminds me of the difficulties my children and I have to cope with as well as possible without loosing our pride. That's all, I understand that "system" is important for you... But for some of your public it's a little frustrating, they just can't follow it. Txs for reading me, I Hope you understood me, without any anger. Just making a little point. Thank you ❤.

The little Polish girl in the red coat was 3 years old when she appeared in the film, and Spielberg asked her to promise not to watch the film until she was 18, but her parents let her see it when she was 11, and she said later that she was horrified and hated to be asked about the film. Today she is in her 30s and she has been volunteering at the Poland/Ukraine border to help Ukrainian war refugees.

[@v35tan27]

Interviewing Spielberg, he explained: the child in the red coat being ignored was to symbolize the allies knowing about the genocide but refusing to divert resources to try to slow it happening. When the child was exhumed and Schindler noticed, that was supposed to represent the pivotal moment he realised he had to act. The "one more person" Schindler says at the end is a call back to this. Powerful movie.

[@greggthompson959]

On September 18th, Ken Burns has a new documentary on PBS. It's called The U.S. and the Holocaust. I've seen the preview. It looks like it addresses what Americans (at least government officials) knew about what the Nazis planned to do to the Jews during Hitler's rise to power--and did do to the Jews during World War II. It sounds like it also addresses what the U.S. could have done for the Jews before the war--like lifting immigration restrictions and granting entry visas. I plan to watch it and hope you will, too.

[@Kaefer1973]

She's also based on a real girl Schindler saw, but otherwise than in the movie, her ultimate fate remains unknown, since he only saw her once when she was walking around being ignored.

[@nevets3164]

Also the girl shows what caught Schindler's eye and how it caused his change.

[@geraldclough1099]

The girl in the reed coat was a brilliant devise. In a film filled with so many murderers, most faceless victims, the girl in red becomes an individual. She stands for each individual killed. She exists as much for you the viewer's benefit as for Schindler's .

[@TheCoreyd1086]

Very true. Also Schindler when he was on the hilltop watching the massacre he saw that little girl walking the street in her bright red coat. She did survive in real life unlike in the movie

[@pangkaji]

On the 25th anniversary of the movie interview with Spielberg, he said the girl in red being ignored by everyone represented the Jews suffering ignored by the world. From intelligence reports, the Allies knew what was happening, yet they did nothing. They could have bombed the death and work camp or the railroad system that fed them. There would be some collateral damage of Jews being killed but at least it would have slowed down the killing. The camps were operational until the end of the war.

When we were here, it's all mud, because people ate it. We entered a gas chamber which is intact, when we saw the scratch marks and the blue stains from the gas on the wall, we sat and our rabbi started to pray kaddish, we were broken, we couldn't stop our tears for minutes.

Don't forget while industrial genocide was perfected in all its horror by Germany....the Soviet Union was in the midst of its own genocidal purge and there would be no VE-day for those victims. 1977 Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said in a speech he gave at Harvard concerning the direction of Western culture: "That is, freedom was given to the individual conditionally, in the assumption of his constant religious responsibility." "All the glorified technological achievements of Progress, including the conquest of outer space, do not redeem the 20th century's moral poverty which no one could imagine even as late as in the 19th Century." "There is a disaster, however, which has already been under way for quite some time. I am referring to the calamity of a despiritualized and irreligious humanistic consciousness." And of course: "When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age; we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations. It is for this reason and not because of the weakness of indoctrinational work that they are growing up indifferent. Young people are aquiring the conviction that foul deeds are never punished on earth that they always bring prosperity." - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

Vince interpreted the meaning of the Girl in the Red Coat correctly. According to Steven Spielberg, she represented Schindler’s conscious and change in ideology. However, she was inspired by an actual Jewish girl who lived in the ghetto. My father has a friend, who’s father in law’s name was on the list. He was a teenager during WWII, and kept in touch with Schindler after the war. This film is Spielberg’s magnum opus and a masterclass of filmmaking. Every detail, from the costume and set designs to the camera angles, was meticulously crafted. That it was shot in black-and-white lends to the film’s timelessness, and even makes it feel like a documentary. PS: two of my aunts have fathers in law who were save from Lithuania by Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat.

They took the teeth out for the Gold. It's hard to tell the difference between Silver & Gold when the movie is black & white (which was purposely done for the mood of the film), but it was the Gold fillings they wanted to melt down.

You can tell from the ending scene that most of the scenes in the movie, the man who pretended to be stacking bags for the SS, the piano playing while they were clearing out the ghetto, the killing of the structural engineer, the man who they tried to shoot several times but the the gun kept jamming, the boy in the outhouse, etc. were all true stories told by the survivors. You should follow this one up with one for the other side of your marriage. I am specifically speaking of another Spielberg masterpiece, this time about the horrors of the US slave trade called AMISTAD. It too is a true story. And it will evoke much the same response.

[@patrickscutella836]

One of my favorites. It's really a underappreciated movie.

[@kimberlyhicks3644]

Munich movie is also a Spielberg masterpiece and it is also based on a true event which is the perfect companion piece to Schindler's List.

[@xxxaragon]

or in cases they don't want to watch yet another Spielberg film (but keep that idea of a biography) maybe Spike Lees "Malcom X"?

[@scarr26]

You were one thousand percent right!! The little girl did signify his realization that he just stood by and could have done just a little more to save her and them!

[@DannyRobalino]

36:52 you nailed it, that was it. Loved both your reaction, I must say it was more beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time to see a Jewish woman reacting to this. Thank you.

[@michaelstach5744]

The character arc in this movie is amazing. At the beginning Schindler and Goeth are about at same place morally. Goeth descends into absolute evil. Schindler slowly begins to climb towards redemption. For my wife and I the last few minutes with the survivors allowed us to keep our sanity. If you remember in BOB when Lipton and Luz were in a foxhole that was hit by a dud shell, think that it was some Jewish person in a slave labor camp that, at the risk of their own life, sabotaged the fuse.

[@LlamaLlamaMamaJama]

It’s definitely an amazing character arc… Unless there’s something historically I don’t know though, I never took Schindler as being truly evil…. An opportunist, and maybe a comparably shitty husband… he WAS apparently ok with a pretty egregious degree of injustice as is shown in the ghetto scene. Definitely not a good person. But Goeth had no conscience…. no soul. I don’t recommend Googling him, but he did things that were much worse than depicted here, bc he enjoyed watching human beings suffer.

[@juliewillard6932]

An interesting story re Amon Goth, the woman he was with in this movie was his mistress, she had a daughter with him and even changed her surname to his name after he was executed. Her daughter grew up and had a relationship with a Nigerian man producing a daughter. Could you just imagine how that would have gone down with Amon if he knew. His grand daughter wandered into a library one day and picked up a book that sparked her interest, there was a picture of her grandmother inside (the woman with Amon who says ‘’make coffee”). The grand daughter could not understand why her grandmother, somebody who was kind, loving and accepting of her, was in this book until she realised that Amon was her grandfather.

[@Lina_unchained]

Watching a fellow Jewish woman like Shoshana reacting to this and Band of Brothers is absolutely and utterly amazing for me. I feel everything she reacts to in my gut the same way that she does. Y'all are both awesome and I am glad I found your channel. When money isn't so tight for me I'll absolutely be supporting you both as much as I possibly can on Patreon. keep up the awesome work.

[@vancouvervixen4253]

Do you know about sir Nicholas Winton? He saved hundreds of Jewish children and there’s an amazing video of him meeting the descendents in the 80s I believe. Amazing.

[@jeffwellman8347]

agree

[@jennifergawne3002]

There is also a docudrama called Nicky's children (I think)

[@seqouiaflame]

First time I saw this movie was in Highschool for an AP history class. I was holding back tears for the last 10 minutes of the film. At the end the teacher turned the lights on and asked the class, "Well, what do you think?" My tears all exploded out and I couldn't control myself. I Said, "I kept hearing my name." My last name is Horowitz. My all time favorite film.

[@215_Philly_4for4]

My dad is Jewish but I was never raised Jewish. First time i watched this movie I had to stop a few times to collect myself. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE should see this film once.

[@James-lc9ij]

I don’t know when I cried more, the first time I watched this movie, or watching this girl react to it. My heart goes to you, and those who lost a loved one during this dark times. Beautiful reaction. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@shainewhite2781]

Winner of 7 Oscars including Best Picture. The most important and most powerful motion picture ever made.

[@guywakeford3259]

This is a brilliant film. One of the things I love about the ending (showing the Schindler Jews today) is that it's a reminder that this all happened not very long ago and that we should beware of it not repeating itself

[@denisobrien4253]

Amon Gothe was the epitome of evil. You should check out the book "'My Grandfather would have shot me ". A German woman was in her late thirties when she discovered that Gothe was her Grandfather. Her mother was German and her father Nigerian. She had been given up for adoption. After high school she studied in Paris where she became friends with an Israeli woman. She accepted an invitation from her friend to visit Israel. While visiting she got in a relationship and actually studied there and learned Hebrew. Eventually she returned to Germany where she got married and became a mother. One day after dropping the kids at school she went to the library. While browsing in the stacks she noticed a book that a cryptic along the lines having to love one's father.It was about the daughter of Amon Gothe. As she looked thought the book there pictures of this daughter and her mother. These pictures this woman realized were of her biological mother and Grandmother. It was devastating for this biracial women to realize she was related Goeth.

[@vincecotton4947]

I saw this in the theater and I distinctly remember that I had planned on seeing something else but I arrived late and decided to see this instead. I knew nothing about Schindler (this was pre-google) and had never heard of the film. I bought a ticket only because I saw that Spielberg directed it. I walked in skeptical and 3 hours later walked out, forever changed.

[@bradley4808]

Ben Kingsley nailed his roll and deserved his Oscar. Liam Neeson didn't win an Oscar for this. That should be a crime.

[@theConquerersMama]

He didn't? Wow.

[@robinhardman7527]

That little girl almost made my younger brother leave the theatre when we went to see the movie. She looked so much like our little niece. You two are amazing and a beautiful loving couple. I Love watching your reactions. ♥️

[@tbjfsu]

I'll never get tired of this movie, or reaction videos to it. The most powerful movie I've ever seen.

[@gameboypunk660]

I saw this in theaters in the 90's when released it was the most powerful movie I've ever seen and has impacted me to this day

[@RubyGB]

Another film you should see is the Hallmark' Hall of Fame 2009 movie "The Courgeous Heart of Irina Sendler" which is about a young Polish social worker who saved over 2,500 Jewish children from outside and inside the Warsaw Ghetto.

[@marekanthony3935]

I also recommend watching the 2001 movie called Uprising about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising where the Jews in the ghetto fought back against the Nazi’s.

[@lizzie3498]

My great great grandfather fought for the Soviets against the Nazis’s, he never talked about the war much as it’s too traumatising, he saw a lot of nazis and won medals for bravery. I also have aunt sectors who escaped Concentration camps. Without the soviets, we would still be ruled by nazis’s right now, never change history. This movies makes me cry each time I watch it, I even feel uncomfortable watching certain scenes.

[@Edd25164605]

That whole 'I could have got one more person' scene.......

[@marck0s565]

Just an another fact related to this movie. There's also one guy just like schindlers who also help the jews. His name is Manuel Quezon, who was the president of the philippines that time. Despite of having a Lethal Crisis in his own country after the japanese invaded and destroyed everything to his country Manuel boldly took a stand against hitler and save hundreds of jews. And there is actually a documentary about it. You might also want to react to it.😇 titled - "An Open Door:jewish rescue to the philippines.

[@rs-ye7kw]

Another unsung hero who provided thousands of Jews with travel documents against orders was Portuguese diplomat Aristides de Sousa Mendes. He suffered severe reprisals for doing so.

[@camillemayers103]

This movie is a masterpiece. If you watch this with your children, prepare ahead of time. They will have serious questions. Do your research. The scariest moment that a child has is realizing that no one is in charge, and that everyone is vulnerable to extremely dangerous insanity. I figured it out in 4th grade. It was a rough year.

[@stevestoll3124]

This is one of the greatest examples of cinematography, I thought that when I was 12 when I went with my grandparents to see it the week after it opened.

[@PershingOfficial]

As someone who has a family member who is alive and survived Aushwitz and other camps, thank you 🙏 . A lot of people do not truly realize the scale of Jewish prosecution across the world during that time and throughout history

[@MistyLiebestraum]

Why have Jews been faced with prosecution throughout history? What do they keep on doing that leads them to be prosecuted?

[@MrDootDali]

Gratitude for this very moving and heart-felt reaction. Peace &Love to you both!

[@howrued1500]

My Godparents survived in similar fashion. My Godfather was ‘permitted’ to work on tanks/tank parts. My Godmother, for whom I am named, spoke at times of some of the atrocities they personally witnessed- tho I’ve always felt she kept the worst buried within, to spare us. Hard to imagine a ‘worse’ w what she did share😔🥺 After the war they immigrated to America. My Godfather went on to invent, create, & patent many many things, some which are used daily around the globe even to this day. At times I imagine the descendants of their torturers using them and think: Redemption… with grace. They remained incredibly grateful all the days of their lives for the opportunities they felt America afforded them. Strong, resilient people… and I’m not just speaking of my Godparents!🙏🏼♥️ Beautiful reaction; blessings to you both. Stay safe & love much💖

[@howrued1500]

I tried to share some w you, but it was deleted. SMH. & scary…

[@jeffsherk7056]

If you want to know what happened to one young man from Cracow who escaped the Nazis, read 'My Life in the Red Army,' by Fred Virski. He ran away to the east, and joined the Soviets, and went from disaster to disaster with them. When it looked like the NKVD wanted to capture and kill him, he escaped to Usbekistan, and joined free Polish soldiers under command of the British. Even if he is just one young man, it is good to read the story of one who escaped the Nazis.

[@jasonwest8972]

You both once again did a great movie reaction video. You both reminded me of the first time I saw this long ago. Good job keep it up

[@stanzelot]

This movie was for many pupils in Germany and Austria a must visit to the movies in the 90s. Everytime I watch this movie or just parts of it or reactions to it it makes me cry. Since WWII we all know what humans can do to other humans. And yet it continued to happen: Former Yugoslavia, Somalia and so on. I have studied the Third Reich extensively when I attended School and tried to analize and understand our past. But this was not enough. If you truly want to understand Antisemitism and Racism you need to look way further back in time.

[@marekanthony3935]

Should also add recommendations for the 2002 movie The Pianist and the 2020 movie Resistance. Both excellent movies on this tragic event in history.

[@sr71ablackbird]

just some notes, the concentration camp there which was called plaszow (pronounced, `plashow") was built on top of what was a jewish cemetery. the factory that oskar schindler had was converted into a museum which has pictures and names of the folks that he helped. also the apartment that in that movie where liam is staying at, is actually oskar schindler's apartment where he stayed, seeing that the movie was filmed in krakow, poland.

Was in Warsaw in 2012, visited where the ghetto was. Now everything is rebuilt and resurfaced. There was a building being renovated and the original walls were exposed, I crossed the construction barrier and went and touch the bricks that have seen this horror so many years ago. I am glad to have been able to touch bricks that have seen that history. French-canadian Christian here... cheers !

[@BestPriceSunCoastTransmissions]

The first time I saw it was on regular TV. They announced extreme violence and that there would be no commercials, just a five minute intermission. I knew it was a holocaust movie and won up teen awards but I wasn’t ready. I was shocked when the engineer woman was shot. The Auschwicz shower scene was highly disturbing. The Gothe scene where he shot every other prisoner really happened, as was testified a nub survived in the book. Maybe the best acting job of all time between Finnes and Neeson. I’m partial to Neeson bc I’m Irish and he is in the whole movie. However you know you’ve just seen an amazing acting job, one of the best ever, when you realize how much I hate, hate, hate, hate Finnes. Then I have to stop myself and remember he’s playing a role. The real Gothe had a long Nazi Resume before he even got to Poland. Basically he was always an asshole.

[@severeign2987]

We use the term ‘horror movie’ to describe when Freddy or Jason are on screen but after watching this that term broadened for me. A truly horrific film recounting the horrors we are capable of as a species. Nonetheless an incredibly important film that everyone should watch at least once because as the saying goes ‘Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it’.

[@rossdavies8250]

69 year old British army veteran and I tear up when I think about this movie. This is what I was a soldier for. To prevent this shit. So sad that the world has, seemingly, forgotten the lessons of the past. Fascism is evil. This movie shows where prejudice and populism leads.

[@paulieluppino1856]

1:15 ...."The germans had defeated the polish army in two weeks".... That been said, Poland was fighting bot Germany and the Soviet Union from both sides, so it's not that crazy that they only lasted two weeks....

The person who put the rose down was Liam Neeson.

[@iKvetch558]

Someday, when you two have recovered from watching this, you should check out another amazing movie based on the Holocaust. In 2001 HBO made a film called Conspiracy covering the January 1942 Wannsee Conference, where officials of the Nazi Reich met to plan the actual processes of the Final Solution. The film starred Kenneth Branagh, Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth...among others. ✌💯

[@kschneyer]

It is a well done film. I have watched it several times obsessively; I'm not sure why. The acting is spectacular, certainly, and everything that is said is horrifying. You'd think once would be enough...

When this movie came out, all our school classes had to go to the cinema and watch that movie (for free). This movie and our visiting of the concentration camp in Buchenwald (close to Leipzig) where the show films made by the russian army when they liberated that camp had a lasting impression what horrible atrocities some of our grand parents did here. - I hope this movie is still shown in school today. This is a masterpiece of cinema, but more importantly, a constant reminder for "never again".

I am not 100% on this about the little girl in red. When they were making the movie they talked to people that lived through this and one of the people says he recalls his daughter in a red coat going one way in a crowd in Poland and he was going another way. That was the only thing he could see in the distance her red coat. He never saw here again. This story really stayed with the director and he added his version of it, but I do not recall exactly where I heard that.

[@jennifergawne3002]

Little red coat did make that walk during the ghetto liquidation. Her name was Genia and she was a cousin of the Dresners. She was murdered

My heart breaks for anyone that has to watch this for the first time. Nevertheless....... it is a HUGE, and MONUMENTAL experience all kids should experience..... just to feel the sheer weight and disbelievability of it all and that this crazy shit DID happen less than 100 years in current time. Take caution young viewers, else your generation and future generations will undoubtedly end up reliving these horrors again, all the while, trying to dismiss them away as "normal" and "expected" behavior during wartime exchange!

The place were Anne Frank and Margot died is not too far from my families home town. It was so weird when I first realized that. We were coming home from a weekend trip and drove through many beautiful villages and it is near a country road with wonderful old trees.

The film is not just about one people but about how humanity should act or never act. It also helps that the film as cinema is great. It could be the most moral and immoral movie ever made.

I watched this film with some old work friends. And we got into an argument about how Schindler should be remembered. One woman held the view that he was a Nazi, that it. End of story and deserved to be condemned with the rest. I just couldn't agree and I used the Churchill as an example. Yes, he was involved in the starvation of million of people because he did nothing. But he stepped up when Britain required leadership with a backbone. His stoic leadership helped save Europe at ultimately the world from nazi tyranny. To me Schindler acted against evil, and CHOOSE to ignore his Nazi badge, I choose to see him as a man who did the right thing. Not even the loss of his wealth would stop him doing the right thing. A hero. Pure and simple. And Spielberg gave us a fantastic film for the ages to remember.

[@weirdwitcher]

One thing I only noticed when watching the movie a second time: That one road leading through the KZ is built from grave stones. Just think about how disgusting this fact itself already is.

[@johnstewart7920]

I saw an interview with Steven Spielberg, and he said the girl in the red coat symbolizes a first hand account, of a little girl who was just walking through the soldiers" like she was invisible". It made such an impression on Steven Spielberg, that he highlighted in the movie. That's right out Spielberg's mouth
