Schindler's List


Schindler's list is a movie that won seven Oscar Awards and was released in 1993, is about Oscar Schindler who owns an ammunition's factory but struggles to find workers so he goes off and buys Jews. This was in the World War II era and the Holocaust when Hitler was in high power. Schindler is apart of the nazi party and plans to runs his business surely on Jews. Schindler as greedy and wealth as he was back then just focused on going forward and cared nothing for the Jews. He cared less that he was saving the Jews from the Ghettos and from the concentration camps. He has struggles in keeping the Jews in his factory due to nazi leaders taking them to concentration camps and to different directions causing Schindler to spend more money trying to keep up his factory. He ends up doing this two-three times. In the end Schindler started to realize what he was doing right when the war ended and what he said "You the hunted become the free and me the free become the hunted." He ends up saving about 7,000 Jews from the torturous things that others had to endure.

Power to me means to help others and do everything to do to make others help out as well. As for Oscar Schindler he doesn't really understands power and just has people working for him. Towards the end of the movie you can see Schindler striving to help out the Jews who where in danger and I would say that he understood the meaning of Power at the end of the movie.

Schindler transformed from being an anti-hero to a hero in a drastic way. In the beginning he just wanted people to work but with no sympathy. He cared about nothing that the Jews thought or said and was quiet scared. But he ends up being a hero by saving and chasing after his workers and saving them from harm. He ends up spend millions of dollars just to buy each worker back and saving them from the Holocaust.

This film could have had a great affect if in the beginning where a bit more clear because it starts off really confusing and leads you thinking and leads you to get lost during the movie. If the film sort of explained it more clearly what was happening during the beginning it would had a greater affect on people today
