Liam Neeson delivered those lines perfectly. However self imposed, how does someone grapple with the idea that they could've saved another human being...and didn't?
*Wipes his eyes and tries to stop crying long enough to write.*
In my mind this is the movie, the performance, and even the scene, that solidified Liam Neeson as a great actor in the eyes and mind of the movie-going public. I've never seen anything quite like it before or since. It's not just a film. It's art. A gem. We can not afford to ever forget the horrors of the Holocaust, nor about the fact that no matter how bad things are, sometimes one person is all it takes to make a difference.
whenever I have a bad day, I watch the end of this movie. Because no matter how horrible I feel, I remember what this man did and how he could have saved just one more person, and my day could not compare to his sorrow. I cry every single time. Thank you, Oskar Schindler.
A great movie monument for a brave man in awful times. Normally people sacrify humanity in business. But he made the paradox and (miss-)used business to save humanity.
There were a few other brave Germans fighting for humanity in those times, but hardly any that had the talent to trick the Nazi so perfectly.
He and some others: Those were the basis for rebuilding our country in sense of reconstruction and rehability: without some of those great minds that were valuable enough to set up a Mars
@Bildungsrebell The irony, and saving grace, of Oskar Schindler is that he was simply a war profiteer at the start of the war, using the Jewish slave labour. But, beginning in 1941-42, he realized the true horror of it all as the Final Solution came into being. And then, using the money he had made off the Jewish workers at the start of the war, he saved them from the camps. Not just men able to work, but children, women and old people. He saved them, all 1,100 of them.
There were a handful of others like Schindler whose stories should be told. Not many, but a few. A Wehrmacht Hauptmann whose unit kept a number of Jews in their HQ's basement, for example.
i cry every time i see this part of the movie i cry. I cry because I feel like Schindler in a way. I have everything in the world, but I am not ignorant to the strife of others. I do the most that I can to help those who have it worse off than I do, but I never feel like its enough. I get on my knees and cry when I think about this because I always feel like i can do more, no matter how hard I try.
People have said the end is corny. It is not. I think the most important part is when he says he could have saved more people if he made more money. That's the first time he makes it clear what he has done and how he has also fallen short. Very powerful. How many people could have acted in a pro-active way during this insane time period in European history?
Oskar Schindler is one of history's most beautiful and most noble paradoxes: He was the Nazi who saved the Jews. He was living proof that people are not defined by the labels that they carry or the affiliations that they are part of, but by what makes their heart beat. Schindler is a perfect demonstration of the ripples that our actions create. Today, there are 6,000 Jews alive because of the actions of one man, and there will be many more generations because of him. You are a true hero!
Amazing powerful movie with some very beautiful acting, excellent performances from Liam Neeson who should of got an oscar for the best actor, Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes as well, brilliant directing by Steven Spielberg whose oscar was well deserved. RIP Oskar Schindler you are a hero in eyes for what you did and the countless risks you took to save your workers.
Please inform yourself a little bit better. Before Israel was renamed "Palestine" by the Romans who wanted to eradicate the jewish history of this land, which was like 2000 years ago, Israel was the land of the jewish people and they were the vast majority of the population living there.
if u guys are so fuckin smart, why are u debating on youtube instead of, i dont know, at a university. ill tell u why. cuz ur thoughts are the thoughts of archaeologists and scholars and u just vomit them onto youtube. so SHUT UP
@SuperSexyBoiGod First of all, this is not the place to be placing comments like that. Second, I can tell that you are not just anti-Israel, but also anti-Semitic. Which means that you are probably one who has been brainwashed, and not one who should be trusted. Last, while some Palestinians were expelled forcibly, most left willingly, and most of those are now in poor conditions because the Arab nations they are in are unwilling to better their conditions. Now, take your rambling elsewhere.
While I have yet to see a movie that made me cry this scene came very close. I could feel the knot tying up in the back of my throat when he says "One more person. A person Stern. For this". The look on his face as he realizes that little pin could have saved even 1 more life is really heart wrenching. Also the music is flawless. I don't think this movie would have been as powerfull as it is without Williams' score or Perlman's violin. This scene and movie are definately one of my favoites.
Even the most callous man in the world would shed a tear at this moment, there are very few moments in a mans life that defines his character and Oskar Shindler succeeds in spades, if the saying the man who saves one life saves the world entire is true than may god greet an equal.
i hope a movie like this never comes out again because this movies was based on the fact 6 million jews died at the hands of the third reich and hitler sorry but i wish there never had been a schindlers list and hope we don't have another r.i.p. 6 million jews and millions of british american and russian troops xxx
@Teixeirapictures its horrific because no single human being should have to save thousands of one race of ethnic group the reason we have so many good quality war movies is because the war was so bad. I don't know if there has been any wars down the years where no one actually died but if there was i guarentee there wouldn't be any movies made out of them cos the war wouldn't have been worth writing about. I think the movies awesome just a shame of the reason behind it.
@sexysport201. huuuuuum i see... but if one man could save the lives of thousands wouldnt he do it in a heart beat. at least i would....i believe that this was a story that was done to death by books that were suger coated and not 100% acurate so i believe spieldberg needed to mkae this movie so it would be shown as what really happened....its like saying no to titanic or united 93 or the great zepplin in the sky
@Teixeirapictures you don't get my point all these films were good and epic because of the devastation behind them. If the titanic had got there without a problem wouldn't it been better than so many hundred dying.
@sexysport201. true but movies are made on historical facts...lets asume there was no oskar schindler and there was no hitler and no titanic and no 9/11 then there wouldnt be as much historical movie abou them. its just as if they wished it wouldnt have happened in the first place ok i agree but if it did happen....would you, if u were in charge...make a movie deal?
@Teixeirapictures no, schindler was an actual person and those jews he saved were alive today, sure the conversations are partly fictional for the movie, but he was real and did most of those things.
@powerofthehorde3. well you cant do 100%. you need to have a slight bit of fiction to tell the story better because reality has a very random patern you need to have a bit of fiction for character development and plot
@Bagbird It was the laborer's jacket Schindler wore to escape capture. Notice that, when he gets into the car, he is wearing it and not his suit. If he was wearing the suit and had been stopped by the Russians, they would have known he was high up in the Nazi party (which he was, but only so he could use influence to save more workers). So, he escaped posing as a common laborer, hence the workman's jacket. His wife was also dressed as a common person for this reason.
@EmsionProductions Granted that sanity is relevant, but in the midst of evil times there is something that some people have inside themselves that can touch others in a positive way. I would assume that for those who hate the Jews and others Schindler is evil. But in the end, touching the life of others in a positive way is a good thing. Hate is something that is taught. Love is something that only God can teach a man.
One of the most moving endings ever.puts a lump in my thoat every time,by the way Teixeirapictures your top ten movies are very good esspecially schindlers list and psycho.Cheers mate.
@wrm1943. oh thanks. I usualy get people hating my top ten list. Yes it is a very moving movie. I dont think a movie this touching can be done again because movies are too polished nowadays. I hope a movie like this comes out today but I doubt it.
