Can we just talk about this one moment in Schindler’s List(1993)? The guards have stolen all of the children away and have loaded them onto trucks to be taken to death camps, and when the mothers realize this there is a literal stampede to reach the trucks before they leave.

A wave of women break the line and rush the Nazi guards standing there. A whole group of desperate mothers, screaming for their children. You can’t tell me this never happened in the camps during the actual Holocaust. The camera angle is messy and it shakes, which means that the cameraman was amidst a sea of waving children, and there are quite a few moments where it looks like the women who get too close are run over by the trucks without any hesitation. It’s a very raw moment in a very raw movie.
