In Reply to: RE: You made the wild assertion that Schindler's List is the movie "fascists dreamt about." posted by Analog Scott on December 16, 2007 at 22:44:09
I wish I were.
We saw what happened at Abu Ghraib after the enemy--the "Islamofascist"--had been dehumanized.
Hitler may have hade some serious personality disorder or whatever. But Hitler and his followers were not stir crazy madmen. They were mostly like you and I. Some where more driven and calculated. Others were just cowards--followers. The Africans welcomed the Germans because they treated them better than the British did.
I even go so far as to put some of the blame for Abu Ghraib on Spielberg. Actions have consequences. I believe in responsibility and accountability. Ignorance is not a defense.
What did the Abu Ghraib scandal bring? A ban on cell phone cameras! If they had had cell phone cameras in Nazi Germany, 6 million Jews might have been saved. It wasn't like politicians in Europe and America were oblivious. They just couldn't believe what they heard.
Follow Ups:
You have now piled what appears to be some sort of really nutty theory that speilberg is to some degree to blame for attrocities against Arabs in Iraq by U.S. soldiers on top of your wild assertions. You still offer nothing to support your beliefs. I'd have to put your views on Schindler's List in the same catagory as ufology. But ufology does have a pretty big following. I think you are in very small company.
Spielberg made a conscious decision to portray the Nazis like characters out of Bloodsucking Freaks. How many real people do you know that are like that? Probably nobody. Hence, there are no Nazis. That's one point.
The second point is that the movie dehumanizes the enemy.
Forget the ideology. How does Schindler's List differ from the dehumanization of Jews in Der Ewige Jude?
Why would you hold Spielberg to different standard than that of the director of Der Ewige Jude? And isn't that to short-sell Spielberg?
Cinema is propaganda.

Really? He told you this? Looks like you are just making up more crap to support your paranoid dellusions.
> How many real people do you know that are like that?>
Like what? Like how Spielberg portrayed the Nazis our how you imagine he portrayed the Nazis? There is a pretty huge disconnect between the two. Either way I must confess, I don't know many people who would proactively participate in the killing of 6 million people based on their heritage.
> Probably nobody. Hence, there are no Nazis. That's one point.>
A silly point at that. I don't know anyone as sociopathic as Hitler. Does that mean I should believe Hitler never existed? Your logic is nothing short of bizzarre.
> The second point is that the movie dehumanizes the enemy.>
Not the Schindler's list I saw.
> Forget the ideology. How does Schindler's List differ from the dehumanization of Jews in Der Ewige Jude?

didn't see Der Ewge Jude. I don't cut Spielberg any special slack. I think your opinions of schindler's list is more about your baggage than Spielberg's film.
> Cinema is propaganda.>
If you are paranoid.
