Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"
I thought that Night and Fog was a good documentary that explains what happen to the Jews. It holds nothing back about what happened to the Jews including their deaths, and corpses. Night and Fog shows pictures of the naked Jews before being sent into the incinerators. Everything is shown nothing is censored. The scene that sticks out the most to me is when they show a row of decapitated bodies with the heads neatly placed in a basket. In Schindler’s List scenes were violent but more of a Hollywood violence that show people being shot but it was nothing like real corpses in Night and Fog. Schindler’s List show a different aspects of the Holocaust. Schindlers' List shows the holocaust from more of the peoples point of view of following the Jews around from place to place giving the viewer in sight on the Jews feeling and such. Night and Fog on the other hand shows everything for what it was. Night and Fog doesn't follow anyone family or person to create a story it just presents the facts of what happened at these horrible places. I don't think that one of these films was more effective than another I think that they both illustrate thinks that people need to know and hear.
