"the right stuff"

the us and the ussr were competing in the film the right stuff for space. they belived that the first people to control space would have an advantage over the other countries. the ussr was winning the race for space, when they put the first satalite into space. we responded by putting a monkey into space, then they put that first man into space. when it seemed like they won, we put the first man on the moon, Neo Armstrong.
the sceans i will remember is when they are training the astronauts, only taking the best into space. i will also remember the sceans where they test the rockets, and many failed to take off or stay in the air for very long before blowing up.

Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

i think that the most powerful sceans was when the nazi's were invading the ghettos trying to gather up all the jews, and most of the jews were killed, or seperated. it hit me harder then the other sceans because the nazis were so harsh, and the jews went threw extremitys to save themselfs and there riches. the little children hid in the toilets, jews hid under beds, in cabinets and hid there dimonds in there teeth, ate them with bread, anything not to give the nazi's what they wanted. they were so desprate, and it was sickening to watch the way the nazi's treated them. this film helps explain the holocaust very well.

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

My reaction to "Night and Fog" was that its a very imformitive documentary. i have seen it before in 7th grade and even now im still astonished at the grusome events of the holocaust. compared to the scenes i viewed from schindler's list, they were somewhat similir. the scean were the children hide, and one little boy goes into the holes in the ground that they use for going to the bathroom, in the documentary they showed what they were used for so we knew exactly what the little boy was going through. In the movie, they showed dead bodies and the creamatorium. In the documentary they showed the dead bodies and how they disposed of them. like the creamatorium and they also showed the gas chamber.
I think that they both illustrate the holocaust well, but the documentary only showed facts and footage and horrifying people, the movie put in characters and fear and we followed each of there journies and it there pain made the movie more real to us. so in my opinion, the movie was more of a influence on my mind then the documentary.
