"A Film Unfinished"

After watching “A Film Unfinished” I really didn’t think that they portrayed how the Jews lived very well. They barely scratched the surface on what all really was taking place. I didn’t feel like they were showing all of what was going on that really made the holocaust the holocaust. They emphasized a lot on the people who were starving. Which, this was a major part of what was going on, not many Jews were properly nourished during this time. But, they really didn’t mention about the Germans coming in taking all the Jew’s jewelry, and most anything of value. They did portay some of it and what they did show, I believe they did a fairly good job with. But, some of what they were showing I didn’t really understand why they were showing it to us. There were plenty of random clips on people just walking down the street and the only thing you would notice out of the ordinary was the cable car. It seemed like they showed that scene about 10 times. This video really does make you feel bad about what was going on to all the people in the holocaust, but this video didn’t begin to show how bad it got in my opinion. One thing that really struck me was when people would walk by and throw bread between the Jews just to watch them fight over it. It was things like that, that I really noticed and felt bad about. They did do a good job showing how people would die and be left on the street for a while like road kill. So there were some things that they really did a good job with and there were some things, in my opinion, that I didn’t think they did such a good job with.
