Schindler's List | Rabbi Levartow Life Is Spared When Two Guns Don’t Work

And then even giving him couragement and false hope by telling him he's doing a good job.

He made hinges

[@M1tjakaramazov]

There are so many nuances in this film. The moment Goeth mentions the amount of hinges, Levartow knows his faith is sealed; there is no point in making excuses as it's already been decided he's to be shot. Only when Goeth is thrown off by the malfunctioning pistol is there a chance of changing his mind, from execution to frustrated assault; and Levratow does so by providing a reason for the low production numbers.

[@borba72]

There was a production mistake in this scene: the second weapon with which he tries to shoot is clearly a pistol. When he gives up, and gives the gun away to the other officer, that is a revolver.

After that the commander tried to use his pistol, his execution was rescheduled, however a week later it turned out he was innocent after new evidence appeared and he was set free.

Thank god for that) In my opinion this movie is Spielbergs magnum opus! A brutal, sad, yet touching and hopeful story that shows humanity in all facets for good or ill. It makes me so grateful that I didn’t have to live through such or horrific time.

lol German weaponry was not that good. It was still made out of metal, not magic

[@CrashB111]

@@HomeschoolVouchers Blanks are still 100% lethal at close range, the force produced by the gas expulsion from the barrel can crack someones skull. It's how Bruce Lee's son died. The reason it didn't work was contrary to the OP's claim that German weapons were somehow infallible, that's a myth/lie perpetuate by the Nazis to make themselves seem stronger than they were. The truth is that German materials made in the 1940s were pieces of shit, they were having to use lower quality materials for construction due to supply shortages. And the designs themselves were often heavily flawed, like the so called "King Tiger" whose most lethal opponent was it's own gear box.

[@diegorocha6733]

I always wondered why Amon didn’t borrow one of the other officer’s gun or had the officers “shoot him right there on his authority”… he clearly wanted the Rabi dead no? 🤔

[@Doncroft1]

Too embarrassed and frustrated. Plus, he gets a kick out of killing personally.

[@cherylhulting1301]

​@@Doncroft1 Yes. Goeth was really a serial killer. It's estimated that he killed about 500 people before he was put to death.

[@tadashi6381]

Omg, never realised that the gun that he toasts in the ground is a revolver, different gun than the one that he actually used to try to kill the poor guy...

Was the road to the camp entrance really paved with gravestones in real life?

[@nils9853]

If the camps where in a region with a big Jewish cemetery near by, sadly yes. They made the inmates walk over the gravestones of "their" people.

[@MaartjeTosca]

Yes, it is. To force Jews to step on their dead, as having them to watch the Nazis doing the same.

[@vitamin_business]

Ralph Fiennes deserved an oscar in this movie . i kid you not , i had a nightmare about him when i first watched this movie . to this day i fear him for this role

[@zapdunga12]

Notice all the Jewish prisoners running in the background. When instead, if all of them would have of rushed the 3 Germans, they could have killed Amon who was weaponless at that moment. They would have eventually died anyway, but at least they would have killed Amon who had no working gun..

[@notsure9033]

Wait until he has a chat with the guy making the firing pins.

[@madmichaelmelnik5341]

It was actually 3 pistols not 2, at the end of the clip you can also see a revolver that didn’t fire as well, when Amon walks off he tries his revolver as well and when it doesn’t work he throws it on the ground.

[@NINjaboy20111]

I looked closely, and I think it might be a bad cut or a continuity error. If you look at it, it turns from a semi-auto pistol from before it cuts to him walking away, to the revolver when the scene cuts to the shot of him walking away. So, it's still 2 guns, not 3.

[@andrewmaxfield5873]

That's extremely accurate with the Opel Blitz - military transport truck. This is an exceptional and heavy film. I was always pissed at my father for taking me to see it in theaters when I was 10

[@bobbywhite1645]

I mean I can see the one lugar not working, the early lugars were somewhat unreliable from what I understand. But it really pulls me out of the immersion when the second pistol also won't fire. The odds of that are just astronomical. Highly unlikely.

im not sure why his Luger didnt fire, but maybe the reason his Walther PPK didnt fire was because it was busy transforming into a revolver.
