in the movie where schindler has arranged to have the boxcars full of overheated jews hosed down? i dont get it

Okay at the start of the scene all of the prisoners are in boxcars, and basically dying of thirst.  The Nazi Soldiers are sitting in the shade and drinking water and inbibing alcohol.  Basically enjoying themselves while no more than 10 feet away people are suffering horribly.  \nThere was a great tidal wave of indifference in Germany and the outlying areas during the Holocaust.  Many who did not want the trouble of going against the Nazi party simply stood aside while friends, coworkers, even extended family were beaten humilated and ultimately killed.\nSo if Schindler in the presence of a group of Nazi superior officers has there support staff start to hose down the boxcars, and actually showed empathy for those who were suffering he incurred the wrath of the Nazi party.  If he were anyone other than Schindler, he would have been inprisoned.\nThat being said indifference was not uncommon but was a great sin.  The indifference in this situation on the part of the Nazi soldiers is worse than if they had simply shot the prisoners.  They made them suffer physically and mentally.  To put a human being through torture is often considered to be worse than if you provided a quick death.\n\nI Hope This Helps,\nAmy

Holocaust myth?\n\nI find this offensive.  I assume he is implying the allies starved all those people and let them die just so they could create the photo op?  I did a quick search and saw some of his drivle, not worth repeating.

He got it! It was in the briefcase that Phillip Seymour-Hoffman was holding and they swapped it. I thought it was really clever how they retrieved it and they were quite lucky actually. I think they would have been screwed if the guard saw them! But I agree with you, they could have added a more detailed explanation of what the mission entailed and how they would go about it, but it still made for good viewing. \n\nWhat really peeved me off was that they didn't say what the rabbit's foot was!!! He asked Lawrence Fishburne and he told Ethan that he'll tell him if he promises to come back after the honeymoon...maybe they'll reveal what it is in the next film! And another thing: I thought Lawrence Fishburne turned out to be the bad guy! What happened, it was all cool in the end! Lawrence helped save Phillip Seymour- Hoffman and they were all cool in the end, it didn't make sense whatsoever!!\n\nSo, I guess there was a lot missing!

Master of the world? What kind of racist ,unfounded statement is that? How does Israel even attempt to be master of the world? Sorry that every single neighboring country in the region attacked the Israelis and Israel won. If you call defending yourself from those you wish to destroy you master of the world, what do you call it when you attack someone who posed no threat to you. Perhaps Bush's bomb now, give reason later strategy is keeping wrld peace, while fighting back to multiple countries with a much larger fighting force than you is being master of the world.\n\nPerhaps Medo would like to answer why they think of the Jews as a virus. Ummmm, I'm not sure all you anti-semites realize this, but Hitler was lying, Germany's economic problems were caused by an over-harsh treaty of Versailles imposed on them by three non-jewish countries. Hitler wanted to blame someone who wasn't Aryan to make them seem like the master race. The Jews had nothing to do with the collapse of Germany, in fact, they had nothing to do with any problem. The Arab-Jew conflict in Palestine right now over the fact that the Arabs refuse to accept Israel as a nation, repeatedly attacking it. Wars don't help in peace talks usually. Anyone who hates Jews for the deaht of Jesus should realize that the church hand-picked the gospels it liked, the ones that declared Jesus a deity and the Jews his betrayer. They rejected all the other scrolls, sayin they were written too far after Jesus's death to be accurate. However, all the gospels, chosen and rejected, were written at about 300 AD.\n\nTherefore, you see that every single racist claim against the Jews is either a myth or a lie by a man who murdered millions. Anyone saying that the Jews are a virus obviously han't checked any facts and prefers to listen to the hate and lies spewing from one of the most evil men to ever live's mouth

"The sliding-door of the railway truck closed with a deafening bang."\n\nSo begins Alice's journey. But where is she going? The men who come to her house to take Alice and her grandparents away in the middle of the night will say only that they are being taken "to the east." At first Alice is excited - at last she will be allowed to play outside after being confined to the basement for so long, and maybe she will be reunited with her parents. But the train ride isn't at all what Alice expects. There are no seats or lavatories - only a dark, airless cattle car crammed with people. And as she gets to know her follow passengers, Alice's eyes are opened to the facts of life, the horrors of death and the terrifying truth about her final destination.

yes the film over shadows the palestinian cause. i mean it only shows one side of the story which is the jews side! i mean what happened to the palestinians? dont u think they should have shown their side of the story? because i mean we only know what the media tells us which is propoganda most of the time....

He was in the Treblinka death camp.  I assume he was thrown into a furnace.  Towards the end, the Nazi's didn't even bother gassing children.  The Nazi's were inhumane and  horrible.  David's diary would be worth reading.

i'm not that familiar with the story, except that it is about witch hunting in a town. this quote, whoever says it, is someone begging Thomas not to get involved in witch craft. is it his wife? that would make sense, that she's begging her husband not to get in it because the town (who was full of people paranoid about witch craft) would charge them with the crime.

Holden shows that goodness isnt defeated because he ends up staying with his family. Instead of running off to live on his own and away from every one which would be bad he decided to stay with his family because of his little sister. ISnt all that good?

Pure bunk. .Much like aliens ,never observed in real time . Post event finds a severly burnt corpse but fire started by smoking etc. ,then ignition of body's fat reserves causes an intense , but local fire until fat gone ,then fire dies out .The Nazis burnt their victims this way when they  built a small fire ,added corpses ,and then when fat melted it sustained the flames

The film has to do with Passover, which also occurs around Easter.  \n\nThe Passover remembers the time when Jews were set free from slavery by the Pharoah who has just experienced the worst of a series of plagues. The eldest son in each home was killed by the Spirit except those homes which had the blood of a lamb sprinkled on the doorposts.  The Spirit "passed over" those homes and that family was safe.

When the Jews Turned down Christ..it was prophesied that they would be scattered around the world and In the last days They would be driven back together again. Hitler,Mussolini,and Stalin were doing what God said He would do. Otherwords in plain english, God was using Hilter to fulfill his word!

Here's an ironic situation - Kidnappers take a child with the intent of obtaining a large ransom from his rich parents.  The  child turns out to be so unruly that the kidnappers end up begging the parents to take the child back.\n\nBTW, this has been done previously by O. Henry.

It's not genious, it's just interesting. The victims get put into life or death puzzle scenarios. Go to http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808579789/info\nfor an overview written by people who know what they're doing. (as opposed to the morons who answer questions like these on Answers (like myself))

Well, I think what the whole scene was to show that the guys were renting a place in a REALLY bad neighborhood. So bad that the place they were renting had been the scene of a terrible crime. The criminals were so ruthless, they even killed the dog. The joke was that the landlord was showing sympathy for the dog (meaning, geez they even killed the dog) and not for the human/humans that had been murdered there...
