Schindler's List: Difference between revisions

* [[Fan Disservice]]: The film contains male and female full frontal nudity, but this is during the concentration camps entrance process, thus lacking any eroticism. This being despite the actors having normal healthy bodies, [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality|visibly clean, trimmed and hairless]] in the scene with the trainload of women being sent to the showers. They did not recreate realistically the scene ''to avoid scaring the viewers to the verge of heart attack'', as the image of [[Real Life]] exhausted and starved prisoners naked and full of lice would be as horrible as traditional depictions of Hell.

* [[For the Evulz]]: Goeth does not have any reason to do the horrible things that he does, other than the fact that he can. Goeth's truly inhuman nature was actually underplayed, because Spielberg thought [[Reality Is Unrealistic|people would have a hard time believing someone could actually be that pointlessly sadistic]].

* [[Grave Marking Scene]]: The final scene of the film shows the actual Schindler Jews visiting the grave of the actual Schindler. They each leave a stone on the grave to mark their visit, as per Jewish custom, leaving every inch of the grave covered in the stones of the Jews he'd saved.

* [[Guile Hero]]: Oskar Schindler.

** Goeth tries this several times, succeeding the first two. He gives up with the third, a Jewish boy who can not clean the stains from his tub; after pardoning the boy, Goeth snipes him down while he is walking back to the barracks.

** And then, of course, there is the scene where he tells Helen his appreciation of her before beating her and smashing a shelf full of wine on top of her.

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Goeth. He has tantrums like a child, does things on a whim, and likes to break his toys. Unfortunately, in this case, his toys are human beings being starved and worked to death, who he kills on the merest whim (e.g., he wants to kill someone). Accent on the "merest" part.
