Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"


My reaction to the film "Night and Fog" that it was not that strong of a film but the pictures that they showed were strong to see. Some of the this film was similar to the scenes in Schindler's list. The similar scenes that both films share is that both films showed what happened to the Jews during the Holocaust. It showed how they killed the people and the bodies lay on the floor in Schindler's list and in the film Night and Fog they showed pictures of the bodies. I think that the Hollywood verison illustrated the Holocaust better than the documentary because in the documentary it showed you pictures, little parts of film that was filmed during that time and how it looked after the Holocaust and the people went to the places and found dead bodies everywhere and they have to clean up the dead bodies. I think that the Hollywood verison illustrated the Holocaust better because it showed you want happened during the time of the Holocaust and what happened to the Jews, what bad things the Nazi didn't to them, It showed the Nazi telling and kicking the Jews out of there homes and putting them into Ghetto. Then From the Ghetto into Labor camps. Then From the Labor camps to Auschwitiz.

Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

http://www.douban.com/lpic/s1458414.jpg Schindler's list illustrated the Holocaust in a very powerful way. This movie showed what had to the Jews during a certain period of time called the Holocaust. In this film there were many powerful scenes to see as a viewer. The killing of Jews if there were not health to work. The children were killed so they will not create the next generation of Jews and they were also killed because there were to young to work. Jews had to burn the Jews that were killed. Which ashes were found everywhere. They were not treated the right way by the Nazi. They will not there hair like it was a joke. The Nazi tried to separate the mothers and the kids so the kids can be shoot by the Nazi. When the Jews tried to run away and when there are caught or when they are running they were shoot by the Nazi. When the Nazi kick the Jews out for there homes so they can be places into the Ghettos. When they were walking to the Ghetto People yelled at them and they threw things at them. Images the will stay with me is the scenes that the Nazi were shooting the Jews and the children because it looked like they had no hearts they are just killing them like it was nothing. Which was sad because they looked like they had no hearts.

US Atomic Bombing of Japan in 1945

I agree that the US Atomic Bombing of Japan is the #1 new story of the century because it was a big that happened during that time. Many people were shocked that The US used two nuclear bombs to end the war. Many people died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki that were not fighting in the war died which were women, children, and men who were not fighting in the war. Years after the bombs were dropped in Japan many were still dieing because of the radiation they got that was left by the bombs. Many people believed it was a very barbaric action they did. They gave no warning the they were going to drop the first bomb. A few days later they drop the second without warning because they didn't want to surrender to the US. In my opinion I would change some of the things on the list because I fell that some thing were more of a bigger news then other things.

Germany at War- WWII

Anti-BolshevismPropaganda is like a poster with information, ideas, rumors, to spread to help or harm a person or event. Sometimes propaganda are not true it is just people saying things so you can join them and help them with what there are doing. Sometimes it help and sometimes it can harm people. I think this poster is saying that Europe will be winners the other countries to the east of them. I am also thinking that Germany is saying that they can beat Russia and take control of Russia. I think this poster is saying that Hitler changed his mind and decided to attack Russia and there dictator Mussolini.
