Schindler Scene Analysis

The discrepancies between the film Schindler’s List and factual events that took place are apparent. When scrutinized it is obvious that the events that take place in the movie are in no way factual events that really took place. The possibility exists that some of the events portrayed in the film, or events similar to those portrayed in the film, really did take place, but, very few of the events in the film are supported by actual evidence. Yes, Oskar Schindler employed Jews who would have otherwise been kept in concentration camps, and yes, Oskar Schindler had many reasons to dislike and oppose the Nazi Regime. Although general concepts such as these were followed in the making of the film, the specific events that take place throughout the movie more than likely did not take place. In the last scene of the movie where Oskar Schindler is shown weeping for example. There is no evidence to support any event similar to this ever occurred, it is simply utilized to improve the film with an emotional, dramatic conclusion. Or the scene that takes place on top of Lasora Hill overlooking the ghetto as it is liquidized. No evidence exists, at least in the Schindler readings, that this event took place. Chances are it could not have due to SS security in the area. The truth is, the scene was the brainchild of someone involved in creating the film, it should not be believed as a true event that took place, as there is no evidence to support it. This film was not intended to be a biography of Oskar Schindler, but the “based on a true story” description can be misleading. This film should be viewed as a slice of cake with Hollywood frosting. The movie’s core is based around general true occurrences and ideas, but Hollywood added bits and pieces of zest in order to make it a good entertainment movie, not an informational film

Acid Reflux

I was just sitting down to write my Schindler Scene analysis, and i had a poptart and some milk to snack on while i wrote it. And i suddenly feel like im dying. ugh. i had acid reflux the first time i can remember roughly a year ago. i thought it was just something that happens to people sometime. But i started to get it  more often recently =/  I take medication for it now which helps most of the time. I just hope it kicks in soon. It's an aweful feeling...

Portfolio

Ok first off i have a question. I cant remember what our quick writes have been. I know the one we wrote most recently in class, but i cant recall the others or remember if some of my blogs were or weren't quick writes. So if anyone could let me know thatd help alot. thanks.

And second, I just got home and set up a folder on my desktop on this computer, and found all the papers from this class and the one from Lunn's, and copied them all into that folder. Then I either made a basic outline (for my business letter, table of contents, etc.) or just in notepad saved a small notepad of what i have to still do (get the 3 blogs, 3 quick writes, etc,) and saved those in the same folder. So this has made it alot easier for me to organize all of my things into one place and work on them as i need to. For anyone having trouble and feeling a little overwhelmed like i was id suggest doing this too.

Sorry for the spelling ive been staring at this screen for a while. haha.
See you all tuesday

So all semester long...

...Comp class has kinda been kickin my @$$. A lot of work and stuff, my only class i have more than once a week, and my first class of the day. But this class has the best group of students out of my 4 classes and the professor i find easiest to talk and relate to. And if it wasn't for this class i probably wouldn't have met Rachael =]  Who i've been seeing for a little while now and things are going really well. (she's kinda making me write this *cough cough*) hahaha. Not really. She just made a suggestion. But we went to see Ninja Assassin today, which was pretty cool, and we had a really good time. Just don't let my Soc professor know i skipped t go see it. And if she does find out... blame Rachael ;]

haha, later
