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
