Schindler's List (5/9) Movie CLIP - A Small Pile of Hinges (1993) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Rabbi Lewartow (Ezra Dagan) is miraculously spared his life when two guns fail to work in the hands of Amon (Ralph Fiennes) during an execution.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on a true story, Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List stars Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler, a German businessman in Poland who sees an opportunity to make money from the Nazis' rise to power. He starts a company to make cookware and utensils, using flattery and bribes to win military contracts, and brings in accountant and financier Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley) to help run the factory. By staffing his plant with Jews who've been herded into Krakow's ghetto by Nazi troops, Schindler has a dependable unpaid labor force. For Stern, a job in a war-related plant could mean survival for himself and the other Jews working for Schindler. However, in 1942, all of Krakow's Jews are assigned to the Plaszow Forced Labor Camp, overseen by Commandant Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes), an embittered alcoholic who occasionally shoots prisoners from his balcony. Schindler arranges to continue using Polish Jews in his plant, but, as he sees what is happening to his employees, he begins to develop a conscience. He realizes that his factory (now refitted to manufacture ammunition) is the only thing preventing his staff from being shipped to the death camps. Soon Schindler demands more workers and starts bribing Nazi leaders to keep Jews on his employee lists and out of the camps. By the time Germany falls to the allies, Schindler has lost his entire fortune -- and saved 1,100 people from likely death. Schindler's List was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won seven, including Best Picture and a long-coveted Best Director for Spielberg, and it quickly gained praise as one of the finest American movies about the Holocaust.

HIT US UP:

[scottl]

This man won Russian roulette with a semiautomatic pistol

[thefirehydrationunit]

Guy: I don’t want to die.
Guns: Understandable, have a great day.

[nobaso]

Sometimes it's hard to believe how a human being can be so cruel towards another human being

[robinrahmani]

Incredible scene. Spielberg’s ability to create a scene that is gripping, heartbreaking and horrifying all the same time is supreme. And the acting…off the charts.

[aliennotion]

I feel sorry for the guy in the next building who makes firing pins.

[plumpw]

For the guy on the ground that has to be the most stressful and relieving moment of his life

[thatawesomethings]

I read the book, Schindler's List, and from what I recall, this actually happened. Which makes this scene more striking.

[kkennedy]

This is easily Fiennes best performance of all films he ever made. To immerse yourself in a character like this full of evil is a testament to his skill in that craft. This could’ve been his only film credit and he’d still stand out among his peers

[oliverh]

When your gun is much more human than the men

[Maarc]

Imagine how terrifying it must be, hear all those
click... click.. click

[marcos]

For a fine actor like Fiennes to take on a role like this had to have been rewarding, but at the same time painful knowing the reality of it all.

[implct]

Amon: oh, christ.
Jesus: Yeah, I'm jamming that gun for yah.

[tomporter]

The most chilling part is how they are talk so casually about the possible reasons why the gun is jamming

[eb-olpo]

This is probably the most intense episode of "How It's Made" I've ever watched

[dbodooley]

This man had angels protecting him at all times.

[mraverage.]

Another small detail that makes this scene feel much more real is that how the officer carrying the poor man reacts after dropping him on the floor, he had a disgusted look on his face and as soon as he dropped the man he rubbed his hands againts the uniform to clean it up as if his hands were soiled.

[CanadianPrepper]

The scary thing is people havent changed since that time and are as capable of this now as they were then.

[someonedraws]

Soldier: CMON GUN SHOOT

Gun: *By the accordance set by the Geneva Convention, I order myself to not kill any civilians in the following manner*

[altorres]

How the hell didn’t Ralph Fiennes win an Oscar for his performance?? One of the best performances in cinema history

[pakroiss]

Even after thirty years I'm still discovering scenes I haven't thought about before. This is what a movie should be like. In the beginning Goeth is saying "I've got some workers coming in tomorrow. I've got to make some room". I'm not 100% certain, but I do believe what he actually means by that is, that he has to kill some people so he has room for new inmates. This is insane.
