We read a lot about the holocaust. We read how some areas near and in Germany didn't allow Jews in their shop. The movie gave me an example of it. The dad (main character) was walking with his son and his son wanted a pastry, well the dad saw a sign that said no Jews and tried to make an excuse to his son.(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qqeLy4vseoA) This comes to shows how in the our reading a lot of Jews were oppressed and this movie kinda shows how people get affected like this. Also we read of kids, the sick, or the elder were gassed but covered up as a shower. In the movie this also happens and it something you need to watch to understand(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v2sqjebFODg).
There was many mood changes. In the movie the mood changes a lot. In the movie everything was wonderful at first and no one thought anything of it like in real life(scenes from the movie to understand -https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o4E-yb-1_FA and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h7CBrN19OY4) Later on in the movie the movie changes mood when their house gets scavenge for the main character since he was Jew and was put on the train(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KaUEDYWofJQ) Th turn events kinda gets to you because it shows how life was wonderful and no expected anything, but all the sudden the Nazi came and deystroyed there life. It was all of the sudden too in the movie which comes to show how easily the mood changed.
Life is shown beautiful in many ways in this movie. It was shown through the good and bad things. For example in one scene the main character is trying to make his son happy and not scared, so a German comes in to explain rules and needs someone to explain, the character volunteers and even though he doesn't no the language he repeats the guy to make it seem like a game for his little son. This scene shows how life is beautiful even in bad times if you try to make it beautiful or has something worth making it beautiful. "https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9lTSqc1UnLU" video link.
