union camp's starting tomorrow.
i don't feel prepared for it at all.
we've held so little discussions/meetings and no concrete plans about most of the activities. i feel especially skeptical after seeing a senior's list on the essential things to do.
and there's still the packing to do. *groans*

watched schindler's list yesterday with becky/eleanor/jun/chin.
it's one of the most provocative shows i've ever watched. which once again leaves me with utter contempt for nazism.
though the movie is good, i'll say it doesn't reflect the brutal reality of the holocaust in its entirety. afterall it remains a hollywood production (which always retains its romantic potrayals).



though i felt touched at how the little girl in the red dress becomes the turning point for oskar schindler, it shows one harsh truth about the human nature.
numerous jews were being killed alongside while schindler gazed from atop a hill but he only felt for that little girl.
it's the same for everyone. everyone else will remain faceless to you unless that someone matters to you.
just as how many others felt for anne frank after her diary was published.
maybe unless you have a heart of gold like gandhi or mother teresa.

though he wasn't the most respectable man, (being a war profiteer, womanizer, gambler etc) his show of humanity at a time when man shows his worst deserves good reckoning. (in spite of the extent of sensationalism from the hollywood cuts, it's still a true story.)
i think this is one of steven spielberg's best movies.
for those who haven't caught it, don't get thrown off by the historical overtones.
