After watching “A Film Unfinished” I really didn’t think that they portrayed how the Jews lived very well. They barely scratched the surface on what all really was taking place. I didn’t feel like they were showing all of what was going on that really made the holocaust the holocaust. They emphasized a lot on the people who were starving. Which, this was a major part of what was going on, not many Jews were properly nourished during this time. But, they really didn’t mention about the Germans coming in taking all the Jew’s jewelry, and most anything of value. They did portay some of it and what they did show, I believe they did a fairly good job with. But, some of what they were showing I didn’t really understand why they were showing it to us. There were plenty of random clips on people just walking down the street and the only thing you would notice out of the ordinary was the cable car. It seemed like they showed that scene about 10 times. This video really does make you feel bad about what was going on to all the people in the holocaust, but this video didn’t begin to show how bad it got in my opinion. One thing that really struck me was when people would walk by and throw bread between them just to watch them fight over it. It was things like that, that I really noticed and felt bad about. They did do a good job showing how people would die and be left on the street for a while like road kill. So there were some things that they really did a good job with and there were some things, in my opinion, that I didn’t think they did such a good job with.

Agreed! I believe the film showed the very START of the Holocaust and did'nt get into the most intense parts.
The suffering of the Jews was unfathomable. And I agree that the film's purpose was a little confusing, though the Nazis' intent was clearly negative to begin with.
I think you are right in saying that film couldn't emphasize enough how bad the holocaust really was.
I think that you are very right about the we the public have not get "the real life" of the Jews in the ghetto during this time since some of the scenes in this movie were staged.
I agree I am sure they did not show exactly how the Jews were living, but I do think the movie gave us more of a understanding that most people have. From what they did show in the movie was still horrible that the Jews had to live like.
I agree that the bread part was really disturbing. The fact that others took delight in the desperation of these people is just unfathomable.
Im on the same page, they didnt not show how it really went down at the Gehtto.Some of the scenes that i read were just staged to make it look like the real thing. So my question is, how much of this film is believable if they are staging it and who knows changing some of the scenes?
