Not very funny


Needed some comic relief.

A chimp in the cast would've been welcome. In a little Nazi uniform, smoking a cigar.

It's not supposed to be funny.

I always thought there should have been a blooper reel for this instead of the ending it had at Schindler's graveside. Would have been on my way through the rest of my day with a spring in my step.

There was some comedy, but it was extremely dark.

1. Amon Goeth ordering the execution of the architect and then going along with her suggestion anyway.
2. Amon Goeth telling the other Nazi, "They cast a spell on you, you know, the Jews," when he realized that his original explanation wasn't working.
3. Amon Goeth's frustration at being unable to execute the factory worker due to a pistol jam.
4. Amon Goeth randomly shooting a Jew from his balcony for taking a break while he's not even dressed for the morning.
5. Amon Goeth practicing the "I pardon you" line in the mirror.
6. Schindler tricking Amon Goeth into giving the Jews in the train water, under the guise of giving them false hope.
7. The SS officer playing the piano while the soldiers are shooting people in the background.
8. Amon Goeth fixing his hair before his execution.

I'm sure there are other examples, but you get the point.

I think it had too much of typical Spielberg's adventurous humour. Needed to be 100% serious, now it was only 90% or maybe 95%. That's why I like Munich more. It was almost 100% serious, didn't offer easy solutions or answers to difficult questions. It was more complex than Schindler's List in which we all knew who the bad guys were.

I was ROTFLMAO. The other theater patrons were a little annoyed by it, but I bought them some popcorn and all was good. At least my cell phone was on silent.
