I knew this one would be rough. I've put it off for almost a whole year now because I just had a feeling it would wreck me. And I wasn't wrong. It felt a lot less like watching a movie and a lot more like sitting with history while it quietly breaks your heart. I don't think I really took a full breath the entire time. It's devastating in a way that doesn't rely on spectacle or manipulation. It just tells the truth and asks that you pay attention and feel it all. By the end, I was hollowed out, shaken, and grateful that a film like this exists at all.What makes this such a masterpiece is how Steven Spielberg strips everything down to what really matters. No gloss, no romanticizing, no escape, no cinematic comfort. When color appears it lands like a punch to the soul. Spielberg uses restraint as his greatest weapon in this film. He let the silence, stillness, and human faces carry all of the weight of unimaginable horrors. And the performances were extraordinary. I think what haunted me the most was the way the film portrays moral awakening. Schindler isn't this flawless hero that swoops in to save lives. He's deeply human, deeply flawed, and that makes his transformation hit way way harder. His final breakdown broke me, too. Realizing that more could have been done. That moment doesn't just belong to him alone. It feels like a question aimed back at all of us, across time.This was such a tragic, heartbreaking masterpiece. It never lets you forget the cost of hatred, indifference, and power unchecked. But at the same time it refuses to let hope disappear completely. It honors the victims in such a beautiful way. By saying their lives mattered, their names mattered, their stories mattered. This wasn't an easy watch by any means. It's not meant to be though. It's a film that you carry with you forever after watching. That rearranges furniture in your soul. That changes the way you understand both history and humanity. And I'm grateful for that experience even if it left me in pieces for awhile after.Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿SYNC ALONG LINK: https://youtu.be/FjNHj6CEFosI watched this on Amazon Prime (Rented)

One of those films I can only watch once. Even in reaction form, too much.

gotta warm myself up for this one...you cry on normal movies and it breaks me up.

Hi Kali, I am going to stream it to my tv. Great movie and sad 😞

kaliwali

Awwww yeah, this one was very difficult 😪

kaliwali

I honestly don't blame you at all. Not sure if and when I'll be able to rewatch this one myself 🤍

Gary Morse

It is sad what people can do to each other. I thank you for watching this. I already saw this in 1993 and have it burned into my memory. The back story on this is Steven Speilberg was asked to direct the first Jurassic Park movie but turned it down. Steven was trying to get money to make Schindlers List, but was unsuccessful. He was told if he directs Jurassic Park, they would give him the money to make Schindler's list. Jurassic Park became a successful film and so did Schindler's list.

The collection of photographs at the train station always gets me.

It's not very often that a 3 hour long movie feels too short, but this masterpiece does...A stunning film, the monstrosities and inhumanity are so visually disturbing and are so hard to watch...but it's a movie that everyone should see at least once in their life... This isn't just a film, this is art. Well done for getting through it Kali, believe me....we were all there with you throughout..x

Richard

Oh boy. I think it’s awesome you feature such deep and meaningful content here. Your write-up, intro, and outro were spot-on with the conclusions you drew, and the lessons for humanity. One of the blackest chapters of history, and yes Spielberg is legendary. One thing that sometimes gets lost within the Third Reich stuff is how much Darwin’s theories, and his thoughts about “superior races” and all that influenced Hitler. If you come to believe that a portion of people are like lower animals and have no value, there’s no limit to the atrocities. That was courageous of you to watch this. It was very evident how much it hurt you. You can’t help but be changed by it.

KJ

There's an amusing tangentially related anecdote about this film. Steven Spielberg dropped out of college decades ago but returned to finish his BA degree in Film & Electronic Arts in 2002, and submitted some of his films as coursework. One of the films was "Schindler's List", to which one of the course professors stared at him blankly before saying something like "... we teach from this screenplay!".

Bernie Zwicky

I read your comment about the film, but haven’t tried watching it yet…I’m a little nervous now, but I’ll summon up the courage to watch it soon! I need to be in the right mindset to tackle this one!❤️

Steve Mercier

Ooooooooh...great. I'm going to cry. And feel like shit. And need to watch something really funny and stupid afterward just so I don't feel deflated all weekend. I guess I could just not watch this. But that doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Yay. (Awesome movie, by the way.)

Trevor Go

First reaction I haven't immediately rushed to watch. I haven't seen this since it came out. Think I am gonna skip this one.

C. J. Ramirez

You should watch boy in the striped pjs

Ralph Fiennes as Amon Göth. One of the best and most disturbing villains of all time. I have seen him in nearly every movie he's done - but this was the first. I was very young and back then I actually thought the actor was evil. Everytime I saw him I was afraid of him. Of course when I got older I realized that it's not actually him and I saw him in movies like The English Patient, Strange Days, he's wonderful as a romantic hero. Of course later he would be famous for a different villain, Voldemort. But Voldemort is nothing against a real time villain like Amon Göth. Such an incredible performance. It must've taken a lot out of him to play that in such a convincing manner. If you want to see him in a completely different role, I suggest "The Grand Budapest Hotel", he's incredibly sweet in that.

trev

Watched it once at release. Never again. Too raw.

Jo Black

Thank you for your reaktion, thank you for your words afterwards. And thank you again for your comment/analysis, which I completely agree with. Now you deserve a feel-good movie... not just any movie, but THE feel-good movie: Amelie (french Original:"Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain"). You'll love it, I promise.

Brad

People need to watch this more today than ever so they can see what the ACTUAL Nazis did and stop using it as rhetoric to attack their political opponents. It takes away from the real horror that happened to a people in history. Everyone needs to stop dehumanizing each other too. It's disgusting and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Phil Stubblefield

I saw this film in the theater, and it was crushing. Unfortunately, I had to go straight to a friend's birthday party afterwards. It took me quite a while to have normal party conversations that evening... 😢

Kahoetek

Such a technically superb film, such horrific subject matter. A truly impressive achievement by Spielberg and his team.

Cannot tell you how much I wish I could hit the like button over and over and over again. This was a prime example of why I enjoy watching you so much. You're so openly emotional and raw and its to be admired. You said you don't and will never understand someone like Amon and honestly therefore how those who followed Hitler so blindly and loyally could have so much hate. That, in my opinion is because you have a good, loving heart and it shows in how you reacted to so many things not just here, but in many of you other reactions. You've even said in others how much you love love, and thats why you don't understand how Amon and those like him thought. It means you're a good, loving and compassionate person. And I hope and pray and would like to think the number of people who feel the same like you, like me and like everyone here watching vastly out numbers those who feel that hate. I've watched the bulk of this movie a few times now through reactors but this was my first complete start to finish watch through and It was truly incredible watching the story of this man's life and those hes saved. Steven Spielberg I truly think created something that will go down in history as a very very historically important and significant film for families and generations to come. God Bless You and your family always Kali. Amazing reaction and a truly pleasure to watch this in full with you🙏

Damon Shaw

That was heart-breaking seeing your reaction to the children being taken away. I don't have kids myself but I have a 9 y/o niece and a 4 y/o nephew, and I'd do absolutely anything to keep them from harm's way. I know how you felt in that moment and I'm sorry you had to feel that. I watch this film every couple of years and all the scenes that show the darkest part of humanity never gets easy. You have such a good heart.

I consider this a first time watch for me, since I saw this movie once when I was a teenager and I couldn't appreciate its significance then. So after watching it now, I have a hard time putting into words everything that I'm feeling. Hopeful, sad, angry, all of it? So I appreciate your outro for unraveling everything I would want to say not just about this movie specifically but it's subject matter as well. And also, I don't think there was a more powerful way to illustrate the significance of Schindler's actions than the way this movie ended. This one will definitely sit with me for a while

Andy Jordan

No words. To me, this and Chernobyl are difficult watches that are required viewings as a citizen of the world. We must never forget. Thank you, Kali, for sharing this part of yourself with us. You have a good heart.

Nina

I think the girl in the red coat symbolizes change. It was the moment Oskar saw them as individuals not simply as workers anymore. For us it was significant to see the red becaue everything else is in black and white. However Oscar sees everything in color anyway, but he still recognizes the girl later on when she's dead. From a narrative standpoint that doesn't make much sense because he saw the girl from very far away, but still he recognized her. For me this moment always marks the big change in Oskar Schindler.

Brina Blue

Hi Kali! I hope that you were able to relax with that cup of tea and maybe a nice cuddle with your cats while decompressing with something funny. You asked about the paving stones looking like gravestones. That was yet another disgusting thing that happened; the tombstones were removed from graveyards and used to pave the roads leading up to some of the camps. I think the only thing that got me though another full watch through was focusing on that beautiful soundtrack by John Williams. The violin solos were played by one of the greatest of all time, Itzhak Perlman, who didn't take any money for taking part. They allow me to disassociate a little bit.

Robert da Spruce

No need to apologize for blowing your nose Kali. As far as I’m concerned, if you don’t have snot running down your nose after watching this film, something is seriously wrong with you You were correct about the road being paved with headstones. It was easily missed, but they showed briefly earlier in the film the Germans knocking down all the headstones in the Jewish cemetery to use as paving material Amon was played by Ralph (pronounced Raif) Fiennes. Who you probably know better as Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter series I was on the fence about watching this one today, given what happened IRL today. But I decided it was more important than ever to remind myself that this can happen again. And I’m genuinely worried it might This film was actually shown in my high school. Of course, you had to have your parents sign a permission slip to watch it. But I’m glad the school showed it. One might argue high school is too young. But in college everyone doesn’t take the same curriculum. Regardless of when one watches this film. Like you said, everyone should see it at least once

James Park

First time watching this movie and the warnings were right definitely a hard watch, but watching Kali get slowly broken down by this movie was heartbreaking, sending big hugs.

Gustavo Sampaio

I could feel you really suffering with this film. Heartbreaking to watch you go through it. I saw it in the theater and it was certainly one of the most life changing films I've seen, for sure.

Chris Chatham

It really frames the cruelty we're capable of. 2025 estimates are conservatively 240,000 civilian conflict-related deaths globally. 40% of those are attributed to Ukraine and Palestine according to ACLED. We were always warned that those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. In my adult life I've sadly come to the conclusion we're just doomed to repeat it. People decide other people are responsible for their problems, and their lives aren't worth protecting. Like you, I don't understand how people can think that way... but they constantly succeed at thinking it.

Joseph Olson

“One more person.” I’ve seen this several times and that always hits hard, because it’s not just one person, it’s all of their unborn descendants.

McShades

It should be required viewing in High School History Class. Kali, your reaction to this movie is the reaction of a normal human being. If you didn't react the way you did, I would be worried. This is one of the very few movies that can bring me to tears.

furyspec

This is one movie that can never be remade. It's more of a historical work of art. The girl in the red dress still gets to me after all these years. I saw this when it came out in the theaters with my parents when I was 13. It was important to my parents that I saw it. Both sides of my family are Jewish and migrated to New York from Poland and Austria to escape the nazis. Unfortunately some ended up going to the concentration camps. Its kind of crazy when I think about it, thatif I was born during before the 40s I might of been sent there also..the end of the movie when it showed the real survivers there were a few Rosners that put rocks on his grave. That's my last name from my dad's ancestors from Austria.

Looking like Rudolph by the end there, Kali. But still so beautiful! ❤️ I wish I could hug you and wipe away your tears.

Torben

Im a german. My grandfather fought in russia and survived. Both of my grandparents told me what a terrible time that was. And we should be very grateful to have this time over us and we as germans who caused the war basiclly, should take care now of the future that something like this never happens again.

Christopher Pearce

In Uganda today, they are murdering Christians by the thousands. So unfortunately Kali, you are 100% correct about the possibility of similar things happening in the present. 😢

Bill Bryant

So much to say. When the Rabbi was making hinges and 3 different pistols misfired, they were unable to shoot him. Tell me that wasn't divine intervention. When Schindler somehow was able to get the women and children back on the train at Auschwitz, tell me that wasn't a miracle. This movie really makes a statement about the God-given right to humanity, and what a wicked sin it is to treat someone as less than human (Amon called them rats and vermin). This is not the first time it's happened in history, and unfortunately it won't be the last. We can't allow this to recur. I will say that your kindness, compassion and intellect was evident throughout this movie; it says a lot about your character. You'd be quite something to know in life. Thank you for watching this movie, I agree it is a story that needs to be shared for all time.

To anyone asking how people could do this, I highly recommend that you search for a YouTube video discussing the Milgram Experiment.

I've seen may reactions to this movie. You did it justice. Thank you

just a little tidbit, my wife told me the kiss on the forehead isn't a sympathetic kiss, its a symbol of protection

Once you can convince people that another group are less than human, you can justify any action against them. The lube will always move where the powers that be want it to go.

Al Paka

I am ashamed of my country's history. Truly. That makes it all the more important to raise awareness, so that something like this can never happen again.
