Schindler's List Review

There have been so much documentaries and productions presenting the Holocaust context. As a result, in deciding to film Schindler's List, director Steven Spielberg (Jurassic Park) set a objective to himself. His vision needed to differ from that of the film makers who preceded him, yet the finished product had to remain faithful to the unforgettable images which represent the legacy of six million massacred Jews. Those who see this motion picture will witness Spielberg's success.

The film opens in September of 1939 in Krakow, Poland, with the Jewish community under increasing pressure from the Nazis. Into this tumult comes Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), a Nazi businessman interested in obtaining Jewish backing for a factory he wishes to build. He makes contact with Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley), an accountant, to arrange financial matters. For a while, there is no interest and nothing happens.

March 1941. The Krakow Jewish community has been forced to live in "the Ghetto", where money no longer has any meaning. Several elders agree to invest in Schindler's factory and the DEF (Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik) is born - a place where large quantities of pots are manufactured. To do the work, Schindler hires Jews (because they're cheaper than Poles), and the German army becomes his biggest customer.

It was in March 1943. Germany's intentions towards the Jews are no longer a secret. The Ghetto was over, with the survivors being herded into the Plaszow Forced Labor Camp. Many of them was sent away and never return. During this time, Schindler has planned to became friend of the local commander, Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes), a Nazi who kills Jews for sport. Using his relationship with Goeth, Schindler begins to secretly campaign to help the Jews, saving men, women, and children from the death.

Relationships and Marriage

Today's love relationships are very different than it was in the past. Just as love relationships, which are the beginning of interaction with the opposite sex, marriage also changed considerably.
Previously, the couple was much more dependent on each other, love was sincere and lasted longer. Today, young people identify themselves by the appearance, and not by personal values. They create a relationship with much more easier, but often do it just for fun, leaving aside the symbolism of a love relationship. These relationships do not last very long in most cases, the couple is very independent of each other.
To marry in times past, the affection was not so important, often the goods and / or titles of nobility that is that the man had a forced marriage.
The function of women was to stay home and take care of this. The woman was completely dependent on man, what may be the reason of old couples never separated.
Today women have more autonomy, quality jobs, and equates to man. Is no longer inferior to him. This is the reason for which the couples nowadays are very independent of each other, and separate easily.

He designed the so-called P-Tree and proposed that this shall replace the chemical toilets. Your goal is to save the nature of the vulgarity of men in society today.

These new urinals are stuck to the tree so that the man has the same facility as in the bathroom, and not have to wait a long line in order to make their needs.
The society had been made very grateful for the Veluw, because the world needs people with that kind of mentality and initiative. Thanks Veluw.
