It's based on the "Tailhook Scandal" - a scandal involving the United States Navy and USMC in which dozens of women were assaulted and raped by aviators, and the subsequent attempted cover up by senior military officers. See related link.

How was Schindler and Goeth in Schindler's List different?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is more common that their similarities are compared, but anyway..

Goeth had less restrictions. Schindler did what he did for people rather than an organisation. In the film Schindler became affected by the situation, then made decisions based on morality instead of emotion.

Otherwise they were essentially the same.

Stern recognizes immediately Schindler's callousness and greed. Early on, he expresses disdain for Schindler and controlled outrage at his original offer to have Stern run the factory and secure Jewish investors. He refuses to drink with Schindler, making clear he does not approve of Schindler's morals. But Stern's attitude softens as Schindler becomes an active participant in saving the Schindlerjuden, and he eventually sees the good in his employer. He finally does have a drink with Schindler when the two say good-bye after they learn of the closing of the Plaszów labor camp and realize Stern will almost certainly be sent to his death. By accepting a drink, Stern demonstrates his respect for Schindler, and Schindler accepts the finality of Stern's probable fate.

How was symbolism used in Schindlers List?

The film is in black and white, but there is one color in the film. There is a little girl in a red coat running in the war torn streets. Oskar Schindler watches her run for a while until she disappears from sight. Later in the film, Schindler sees a red coat on top of a wheel barrow where burned bodies are being carried away and is deeply saddened from seeing her dead body. This symbolizes his caring for the Jews and his sorrow of the way they're treated

What is the significance of the girl with a red coat in Schindler's List?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The girl in the red coat is the most obvious symbol in Schindler's List, simply because her coat is the only color object, other than the Shabbat candles, presented in the main body of the film. To Schindler, she represents the innocence of the Jews being slaughtered. He sees her from high atop a hill and is riveted by her, almost to the exclusion of the surrounding violence. The moment Schindler catches sight of her marks the moment when he is forced to confront the horror of Jewish life during the Holocaust and his own hand in that horror. The little girl also has a greater social significance. Her red coat suggests the "red flag" the Jews waved at the Allied powers during World War II as a cry for help. The little girl walks through the violence of the evacuation as if she can't see it, ignoring the carnage around her. Her oblivion mirrors the inaction of the Allied powers in helping to save the Jews. Schindler later spots her in a pile of exhumed dead bodies, and her death symbolizes the death of innocence.

Black-white movie about transvestite?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the fifties or possibly the sixties- allowing for television reruns- there was a movie or TV crime drama that was about a Transvestite or Latent Homosexual. It was in the context of the missing witness angle of a crime drama. it so transpired that the character was a biological male who had been, in the polite phrase of the time- been ( Raised as a girl) and wore female costumes, etc. Even then the idea seemed to be not only was /is Homosexuality ( wrong) it is, of course, but you had to blame somebody and it seemed to be the (parents wanted to have a girl child). I think this is the film you are referring to. a biographical film- probably in technicolor was done on the Christine Jorgensen story- that being the title of the film in the seventies. Nuff said.
