Crass, unnecessary ending


The emotion was high already, why prolong the hammered-home ending with showing everyone at the cemetery?

Most films roll call through the end credits?

It was about showing that not only did the Schindler Jews survive the Holocaust in the 1940s, "a lot of them are still alive today."

Yes, sooo offensive. >_>

I think it was more about documenting the survivors. I recall a documentary on the DVD where Spielberg spoke about trying to get as many survivors on film (not specifically this film, just in general). I'm guessing this was a way to kick it off.

It showed that it was real, and not just a film. Real people, living real lives which would have been snuffed out along with the rest of the millions who were killed except for the actions of one man. This was the strongest part of the entire film.

BTW his grave is in Jerusalem on Mount Zion. Imagine that, a member of the Nazi party buried in Jerusalem, that's pretty cool.

what a stupid and ignorant comment. They were survivors of the camps and or their relatives, the man who placed the rose at the end was Liam Nesson.
