Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"




The documentary of this movie seemed cold and distant to me because they only told you facts and showed you clips of what happened with no one to relate.

I think the only powerful aspects of this movie was the cold hard facts of the innocent people who had to suffer because of the hatred of unkind people.

I think that the "Schindler's List" was more powerful because they went into the details of the events. "Night and Fog" was just pictures of the events that happened, but "Schindler's List" has scenes and sound and voices. It has interpretations of what was once said and reenactments of scenes that were powerful to people who once lived in that time.

I think that the Hollywood version of the Holocaust was more effective because the movie version told the stories of those who died through their families eyes and showed how the Jews were physically abused without you imagined how it could have been through pictures like the documentary. The movie version showed how it was without you using your imagination wrongly and picturing something entirely different.
