The most important film we have watched so far is schindlers list. This film is important because is shows the brutality of the holocaust, the holocaust is something that every individual need take grasp of and understand the pain that was inflicted. Without the realization of the happenings history would repeat itself, and history like that shouldn't have the opportunity to take place again.

I like how you said That Schindler's list shows the brighter sides of things but the truthful side also...Because that movie really does show the brighter side to thing but it shows in graphic content how it all went down as well.

I agree with you saying, "history like that shouldn't have the opportunity to take place again", because you're right no one should be treated like that ever therefore what went on in Schindler's list should not be something the world should see ever again.

Schindler list in my eyes was the most historically correct film too. Like how you talk about seeing the true side which means shows positives and negatives not just one sided.

1. The most important film I think we have watched is Schindler's List. I believe this because it was probably the most accurate of what was going on in that time period. Schindler's List made me really look at WWII, and what was going on, a different way.

I also think that Schindler;s List was the most important movie we watched, it was so historically accurate that it taught us allot of stuff we didn't now about the holocaust. However, i thought Cinderella man was boring, and gross, i hated all the sweat the movie showed.

I disagree with you that Saving Private Ryan was the most historically accurate. The whole movie was based on war and an actual event, but their mission that the whole movie focused on was unreal. That event never happened, it was just a movie about war. I believe that Schindler's List actual happened because it is telling an actual story and showed graphic scenes that were true and actual happened.

1. The most important film we have watched this year was by far Schindler's List. The movie was very historically accurate, and informative. The movie also taught us several things, like not all nazi's were horrible people, that the public was tricked into believing that the jews were to blame for all of the countries' problems, and that not only the physical harm(killing abusing) was bad, but the jews suffered many emotional harm as well, such as losing there families.

This story put how peoples lives were affected by the Great Depression and how hard the daily struggle was during that time. A professional boxer was put out of work because of a broken hand that he could have easily came back from, but because of the Depression he could not.

What we haven't learned is about how it was during WWII and what people have done to compensait for the lac of entrainment through sports. Also it was inspiring, not just for women but for anyone who has a dream and wants to advance and make something out of there life. It was nice to learn something not taught in history class but what is inspirational and plays a big part in american history. Thanks for your comments.

I think that the most important movie we have watched so far would have to be schindlers list. It discribes and shows what all the jews had to go through in WWII.

1.)I believe the most important film we watched was Cinderella Man because in Cinderella Man, James Braddock showed a big role in this film by showing how you can overcome the depression. James found a way most of the time to get out of bad situations. James never fully gave up on his dream to get back in the ring and win the battle. James did his best for his family and you can really see his motivation in his eyes. James kept his head up and even with a broken hand he pushed through the pain to work at the docks to make some money and he never slowed sown.

The most important Film we have watched thus far is Schindler's list because it shows how the jews had to endure during the holocaust. It's also the most historically accurate film we have watched because all of this actually happened. It showed how the germans ran the camps and didn't care about the jews at all. they just shot to kill them for fun at times. Then Oskar Schindler came and alleviated there pain a little when he had them work for him. In the end he was able to save 1200 jews.So when world war two came to an end society changed for the good because the war started urbanization because not that many people were working so people on farms came in to the cities to find work. Women as gained more right when they were allowed to join the military and go and work in factories. My favorite movie that we have watched is Cinderella man Because it shows a man getting a second chance in life and he never gives up and he achieves his dream. He did all of this during the great depression where work was dwindling and only a few were being chosen to work. It shows that even in adversity you can still prevail.

The most important film that we have watched was Schindler's List. The film is important because during the time all this was taking place, many people lives were taken. It’s good to know about the holocaust and everything that happened in history. If we don't learn about it now and have some kind of understanding history might repeat it self. I think the Holocaust was one of the most horrible things you can do to human being. I'm saying that because we all are human, were all on the same world that spins. We all just have different religion and were not all the same color. The holocaust was one of the most depressing times during 1945.

Schindler's List has been the most important movie we have watched because it explains the real tragedy of WWII. It sums up what happened very accurately. Not many people really understand what really happened but everything that happened in the movie shows you exactly what happened. It helps people better understand what the Jews went through.
