@@JaiRudraNath Dumbest shit I’ve ever read. Did you except him to go around giving kisses and hugs to Jews in this film, and then paying them for their work? Giving him an Oscar is not glorifying evil you snowflake, it is glorifying Ralph Fiennes, an amazing actor that worked really hard to portray a person that’s totally different from him.
@@flavio7180 its not what he means, he's point is just probably he did not win an Oscar because of the background he was portraying, Hollywood see's it different
@@johannsebastianbach9003 Then Hollywood is full of snowflakes (wait, I already knew that 😁). Nonetheless, superb acting is still superb acting regardless of the actual role.
Absolutely.... but seriously, it couldn't be allowed to happen. His acting is so brilliant in this role that many Americans would think that the award was being given to Aamon Goethe himself.
Right wing Yanks would of objected! According to them? This never happened! All part of a Jewish conspiracy to bring down the world and start a nwo 😂🤣😃😄😅😆😉😋😎
Never understood that Ralph Fiennes didn't receive an Oscar for this role. In my personal opinion one of the greatest performances in movie history. I remember how much I hated him when I saw this in the theatre.
Oh you are so fing right. One of motion picture greatest performances. To this day in my 62 years on this earth I still have not seen any better than Fiennes portrait of Goeth on film. Mesmerising.
Fiennes obviously remembered that this character was a human being before he was a cold killer. He was once someone's child, and innocent of any evil doing. He had dreams, ambitions, passions before it all became corrupted by greed, power and evil. Fiennes manages to bring this glimpse of some tiny remnant of humanity to a completely inhuman individual and in the process reminds us that anybody is potentially capable of such acts. This is what makes the role especially brilliant and terrifying.
Exactly.. that’s why it’s brilliant work. He said that Spielberg directed him to have that cough and bring his hanky with him. And he said his human failings showed he is a man doing a job. Which brought so much depth. Unlike the usual natzi characters you see. Amazing storytelling and techniques they have. And fine attention to detail that’s so appreciated
This is a prime example of what a fantastic actor Ralph Fiennes really is. His portrayal of Amon Goeth's inhumane cruelty was so convincing it made him scary to watch in this film.
he was so great that anytime I see him in another movie I can't think of him as another caracther-....He made a step stone, that's why he should have won the Oscar
fabio zuccheri I agree. He should have. He probably didn't get it because the Academy was afraid of what people would think if he won a prestigious award for his portrayal of such a sadistic human being or something equally as nonsensical.
Apparently, he was so life like [he looked like Amon Goeth twin], he scarred some of the advisor jews [who were there]. It made him depressed for a while that he could upset people.
This made Ralph Fiennes acting royalty. It was a performance on a par with Anthony Hopkins in Remains of the Day and Silence of the Lambs, Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice, Robert Deniro in Taxi Driver,:Russell Crowe in A Beautiful mind
"It's not a villa," and "they tell me that your sense of gratitude extends beyond words."The things he says in this film, the way he says them....I can't decide which film Fienes is better in: "Schindler's List," or "The English Patient."
I agree and I think it’s because he played the role too well as in he was too convincing in his part, superb acting !! He was truly outstanding! I have struggled to watch him in other roles as this was and is still is his best performance ever!
Ralph Fiennes is one of the best actors I've ever seen. His performances in the films I saw I found that he possess a kind of magic to act a completely multiple personalities or individual characters. I sometimes can't recognize him as the same actor Ralph Fiennes, from one film to another. Great actor, indeed!!
Agreed. He is very under rated today. Another fine actor like him is Tom Hardy. These are real actors, not just good looking people cast into movies that become actors. Fiennes is phenomenal.
Projekt Zycie if we are talking about actors who disapear into complex characters that are completely different from one another not only are Tom Hardy and Ralph Finness amazing like you guys mentioned, but I would add Gary Oldman, and Guy Pearce to that list as well. I have seen popular actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale do that to, but are not nearly as consistent.,
Dreams in where you dying are about transformation and big change in your personality. I doubt that never happened for Amon. If that happened, he might have stopped getting all his agressions out, and big amounts of pleasure from, shoting people that the Nazies deemed inferior ore desgusting.
Incredible performance, it is probably the most chilling film ever made, it is one of those films that although it won't be one of your favourites in terms of best films to watch because it is hard to watch, but it is no doubt one of the best films i have ever seen, an amazing terrifying depiction of the most horrifying atrocities in human history and one that everyone must see at some point in their life to remember those who died and make sure such things never happen again in history. Hats of to Spielberg for pulling off this masterpiece as it was a very daring film to undertake.
Never mind the fact that America was so upset about this while doing the same if not worst atrocities to African Americans right in their own backyard (Literally) I don't understand how so many look at the Holocaust with sympathy & empathy & endure listening to the stories over & over while at the same time telling African Americans to stfu when telling stories about slavery. It just blows my mind.
Yes agree, still would've like some body like Milos Forman to direct the film. A central European who knows the nuances of the area, Germans and recent history.
My daughter is fascinated by this film and the Holocaust. She portrayed Anne Frank in school. She wanted this movie for her 11th bday. This movie marked her. It’s terrifying but incredible to see and understand. I know it was hard for Spielberg to experience and direct. The horror of human capability… it’s important to recognize.
I will never understand why Ralph Fiennes didn't get an Oscar for this role. This is an anthology, perfect, if anyone deserves an Oscar, it's Ralph...???
I remember watching this film sophomore year of high school and I have to say, everyone in this film did an amazing job. The movie was depressing but it was one of the best films I've ever seen.
Ralph Fiennes is beautiful; yet the character he plays is an evil sociopath. At 1:56 we see part of the scene in which Fiennes tells Ben Kingsley to "look at me." I saw the movie again last night and in this scene Fiennes gives the most disturbing, bone-chilling look of any movie actor that I can recall. It's just pure evil. Simple as that.
Tom Hanks won an Oscar for playing a ghey guy in Philadelphia. I wonder if Hanks played goeth and fiennes was cast in Philadelphia. Imagine how that would have turned out?
After I watched the movie for the first time my first reaction was to be incapable of distinguishing the actor from the role, so convincing was he, and my first words were "that monster will never get an acting job again, who would hire such a man"...I instantly realised what I was saying and that it meant he would most certainly get more roles.
The scary part is that he manages to portray just a figment of humanity in this bestial man, not through anything he says so much as how he looks at the camera at some points, just in his eyes. Which makes this an act of complete genius. All other portrayals of SS murderers that I know don't really even attempt to go beyond the "crazy, homicidal monster" caricature.
A portrayal of pure evil .Yet as a person looking into this man you are really drawn in trying to guess what his next move maybe. An incredible performance by Ralph Finnes.
I watched Schindler's List in my Global Studies class when we were learning about World War ll last year. It had to be my favorite movie that I've watched in any history class of mine. :) and Ralph Fiennes is an awesome actor, as usual
Chris Chappell He had to stop filming for a week because one of the survivors of Plaszow work camp (they had some of them at the set because they gave advice on how everything had to look and the proceedings and such) broke down in fear when he walked towards her in his Kommandant uniform , looking too much like the real Göth for her to take. Fiennes felt Incredibly guilty for making her love though that again.
Oscar or no Oscar, this man is quite simply an amazing actor. There is a depth and complexity to him that very few actors posess and this certainly came through in his portrayal of a truly psychotic figure in history. What a courageous, disturbing, brilliant performance.
This role put Fiennes on the Hollywood 'map' for sure. What a powerhouse performance to be able to play someone who alternately switches between a cold-eyed psychopath and a mischievous rogue with personality
Discordo, não era o olhar vazio de alguém sem alma, era o olhar vazio de uma alma se perdendo, querendo ser achada e cada instante tentando negar essa realidade de si mesmo.
I agree that Fiennes definitely should have won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar that year. It was a brilliantly crafted and masterful performance. It is one of the best and most meaningful movies ever made to date, and will remain so to stand the test of time as a cinema classic.
I never realized how much Amon and schindlers relationship paralleled snape and voldemorts relationship from Harry potter( also ironic that Ralph fiennes also played voldemort) Oscar is a spy in a way, pretending to be Amons friend when he is really protecting the very thing that Amon wants to kill. Much like how snape became a spy to protect Harry and become close to voldemort to get inside information and whatnot
If Ralph Fiennes not getting an Oscar for this isn't robbery, I don't know what is. The only other actors who came close to matching this were Brian Cox in Nuremberg and obviously Bruno Ganz in Downfall.
Well done, Bateman: that was both chilling and impossible not to watch. And of course, Ralph Fiennes' role as Goeth... probably the best wartime villain portrayal ever after Tom Berenger's role as 'Barnes' in Platoon.
That he was robbed of the Oscar for what is, perhaps, the greatest screen portrayal of all time, or at the very least in the top-10 all time greats, angers me to this day!!
Ralph acting was out of the world. He perfectly portrayed fanatic badass Amon Goethe. I respect Amon Goethe for his fanaticism and loyalty to the Fuhrer.
for me the greatest piece of acting ever. It must have been both draining and exhilarating to play a character who is insane with his believes. I have never been so convinced of an actor playing his title role!
The brilliance in this portrayal stems from the dialogue. Sound or no sound, the dialogue should not be cloaked when claiming that the above is a portrayal.
