FilmLesson:"The Right Stuff"

In the movie The Right Stuff the US and Russia were competing to see who had more of a technological advantage.What they were doing was trying to out match each other. First Russia sent their satellite into space which made us angry and we had to prove that we also had that technology. So what we did was send a monkey into space. Russia then out classed us by sending a man into space. They were winning the space race and were more technologically advanced then us.
Some of the scenes that stood in my head were when they keep having those government meeting that the US keep having in order to analyze a way to come back and beat them. Also the government keep saying that they had spies which were taking the footage of the spacecrafts which sort of confused me to how they got a man that close to Russia's space programs.

FilmLesson:"Schindler's List"

Schindlers List showed the holocaust mostly the way that it happened.I just didn't agree with the way it ended. When the people just walked away at the end of the movie mean while most people didn't walk away, I guess they just had to have short of a happy ending. Besides for this one detail I do think think the movie was accurate but also very gruesome images were shown.
The way that the people were just shot the moment that they stopped walking or rebelled is just crazy and the way that when the people got on the train they like gave them false hope by spraying water on them like playing with their minds. Their was also a couple of parts when they were marking them. It was like being marked for death. Also their were certain parts that frightened me.
When the families were being seperated and you knew the moment you let go of them you were never going to see them again, how heart breaking that must of been. Also the part when the guard shot the little kis staright in the head without mercy or remorse , did the guards have any sense of morals.

FilmLesson-"Night and Fog"

Night and Fog was a movie about the holocaust.It had alot of very disturbing images. It really shows the raw position of the bodies and the heads in the basket. It showed how cruel the Nazis really were to just let the people starve to death. In the movie you saw the dead people bones because they were that boney. I that the documentary was better then the Hollywood version. The documentary shows the way it actually was even though the movie went into more detail about how the transport was.
The documentary shows the people and condition of the bodies at that time when we found the camps. The hollywood version showed the workers of Schindler leaving alive mean while most of the people didn't live they died.The hollywood version did show more effectively the holocaust just because it went into more deatil since it was so long but the documentary was just a short film only meant to show you the main things that happened during peoples time in the concentration camp.
