I saw him being in the Nazi party for his own gain, not because he necessarily supported the actions of what the Nazi's were doing, I never saw him as someone who hated the Jewish people around him, especially ESPECIALLY as the movie proceeded on. Yes, he was a Nazi, yes, he was a terrible person for being a Nazi, but he wasn't evil while so many others were in this film. He wasn't like them. People who watch this and hone in on "he's a Nazi so everything single thing he does is evil", eh, there's more to the story than that, there's more to him than that, by a long shot. He ended up being a good person by the very end, despite being associated with the most evil and cruel "party" in existence.

I really, really appreciated your reaction to this film. I’ve seen so many reactors watch Schindler pin that swastika pin on his shirt at the beginning and then immediately brand everything he says and does for the first part of the film as horrible and evil, without thinking about the fact that, during that time, everyone was doing what was necessary to make a living. Did he take advantage of the situation? Sure, as do many today, including governments. He was a very flawed person, as are we all, but he grew from someone just seeking his own gain to saving the lives of over a thousand people. Most of us will never accomplish something of that magnitude during our lifetimes. Thank you for this reaction! Looking forward to the next one. 👍🏻
