Final Thoughts about Schindler's List

Today we finished watching Schindler's List in class and I have really enjoyed watching this movie throughout the past week. It was really interesting to see how Schindler developed throughout the movie and how he had changed by witnessing and being involved in the Holocaust. By the end of the film, Schindler realizes that what was being done by the German soldiers to prisoners was not humane. One of the last scenes of the movie that I found really interesting was when Schindler was about to flee and he starts to breakdown. Schindler starts thinking that if he had given more money, gold, and valuable objects to give away he would have even been able to save more lives. I think this was a huge moment for Schindler. He realizes that he had done something great and saved many lives, but he wishes he could have done more. It took Schindler a long time for him to realize that what the German soldiers were doing was wrong and that no one should be treated that way. In this moment, I think this is when Schindler wishes he had realized this sooner. This demonstrates Schindler's character a lot because even though had save thousands of lives, he hoped that he could have saved more.
