'Schindler's List' is one movie that I would strongly recommend to everyone. The very core of the movie deals with how propaganda and a single man's madness can turn humans en masse into blood thirsty cannibals, worse than all that hell may hold! But even when the whole world seems to have gone mad, and wrong seems to be right (after all, isn't whatever society accepts considered to be correct?) just because everyone seems to be doing what shouldn't even be thought about, Schindler goes right ahead with what he feels is right.
The movie made me cry and left me in a very horrified state, especially after the scene where the women are rounded up and sent into the showers at Auschwitz. One can only imagine what the warders and the prison guards and the others involved in the whole project could have been telling themselves, to do anything of that sort on a scale of that sort to another sentient being is unimaginable. Yet it happens, again and again. Not just in Germany, but all over the world. We have wars and mobs and caste wars the serial killers and rapists roaming around over the metropolises of the world.
Back home in India, female babies are not even allowed to see the light of day, minors are increasingly becoming the soft targets. The crowning glory of it all is that the capital of the nation has earned the sobriquet "Rape Capital"!
Have you noticed the general apathy towards everything that is not immediately going to affect us or our close family members? Politicians responsible for running the country could not even maintain quorum when inflation was being discussed. Its time that we all learned a little bit of humaneness or just admit that we are basically animals and animalistic trappings shall stay with us as long as we as a race exist.
