Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

The US and USSR were competing in many different unique concepts. The US were the first to break the sound barrier and Russia were the first to send a satellite and a man to space. The US then felt embarrassed and with hard work they pulled of their own space program and sent a monkey to space, while the Russians sent a man to space.The US felt very embarrassed sending a chimp to space. The US afterwards gained the upper hand by sending a man to the moon. The movie showed scenes where doctors were testing the men, to see if they're capable to go to space and handle the stress. There were also scenes were it took the US many tries to build a successful space rocket.

Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

Schindler's List was a hollywood version movie of the procedure the Jews went through. From ghettos to concentration camps to death camps. Schindler's List illustrates Holocause effectively, but not as effectively as Night and Fog. It illustrates the way the Jews were treated and how they were killed for no reason, just to take lives out of boredom. The movie illustartes how the children were taken away and disposed of because their lack of inability to work. In the movie there was one Jewish Girl wearing red while the rest of the movie was black and white. They did that for a reason so they could show the girl's corpse later burned and put in a shovel cart. It must be terrifying living with the thought that you could die any second for no reason. The SS with machine guns murdered the sick in the infirmary because they could not work.

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

This movie illustrates the Holocaust effectively. It shows real images and clips of the massacred Jews and discusses how they were treated.I believe this movie was more effective in illustrating the Holocaust more than "Schindler's List" because it was a real documentary showing real images of massacred Jews. I felt really sad, how the bodys were all stacked up in a pile and the way the bulldozer moved the leftover bodys like they were nothing. It was also felt really sorry when they were all free and looking at their family and friends bodys all piled and spread in the unforgiven soil of the death/concentration camps. The Jews that became free after the Allied forces found the concentration/death camps did not know what to do since they are now free. They were all used to painstaking work and small amounts of food. Their minds never crossed what they would do if they became free because they thought they would never be free. When I saw the overgrown camp "Auschwitz" in the 1960s as shown in the documentary, I felt really amazed looking at a historical significant land that murdered 3,000,000 Jews alone in that camp.
