The Real Deal II


In the Movie Schindler’s List by Steven Spielberg Oscar Schindler is depicted as a clever yet greedy German Nazi who tries to take advantage of the Jews by making them work in his factory. His intentions in the beginning are nothing more but profit and more profit and the contemporary situation of the Jews enable him to do just that. He takes full advantage of their situation through means of cheap labor and sharing only a marginal amount of the profit with the Jews.
He takes advantage of the Jews; yes, he does but with time and after increased association with them he surprisingly turns out to be humanitarian. He starts to care about them, first because they meant business but later because he feels pity and because from within him emerges an unstoppable desire to put an end to the cruelty. His factory becomes a pilgrimage for the Jews where they enjoy the little advantage they had as compared to those outside the factory.
He takes great pain to save his crew of workers from annihilation, bribing Nazi officials and paying them heftily. The degree of his kindness is revealed at the final moments of the movie when he finally breaks down because he thinks that he could have sold his car, his gold pin and all of his belongings to save a few more than the 1100 Jews he saved. The more he helps them the more he tries to help more of them. This ending of this movie is very emotional and depicts what true and unbiased kindness really is.
No words can describe how good a movie ‘Schindler’s List’ really is and thus is a must watch, owing to its real life story.
Anyone interested in watching Schindler’s list can pick up the movie from the Caldwell library. It will definitely be able to ignite the much needed feelings of kindness in every one of us.
