Film Lessons " Schindlers List"
In Schindler's List, the director displayed the Holocaust in a very realistic way. Even though this movie was made in Hollywood, the movie was far from fake. All of Speilberg's scenes gave you a different look at what happened during the genocide. Some scenes really stood out to me. For example, the scene where the german soldiers found around a dozen hiding jews in one spot. That showed me that many jewsish people tried to hide together in their assigned houses. Another scene that caught my attention was when they were burning the bodies. That scene showed me that the germans had no feelings or concerns towards what they were doing, considering the fact that they transported the bodies into the fire via conveyerbelt.

Film Lesson: "Night and the Fog"
After watching "Night and the Fog", i left with a higher knowledge of concentration camps of the 1940's. In the film, the director shows the camps during the genocide and then after with the noce flowing grass and flowers. The beautiful lawns that disguise the horror and mass murders that occured 11 years earlier dresses the movie with an ironic display.
Throughout the documentry, the director shows real footage of the disposal of the jewish prisoners at Auschwitz. After watching all the hollywood versions of the holocaust, this documentry really gives off a powerful feeling of what really went on sixty years ago.
To me, I think that Speilberg's movie showed more of what really went on in the Holocaust. In his hollywood version he showed the emigrating of all the jews to the ghettos, then ultimately to the concentration camps. Also, the director showed the burning of the bodies and the random shootings in the ghettos.
