Night and Fog

This was my first time watching Night and Fog, and i have alot to say about this film. First off it was a very powerful by using only videos to make you understand what pain and suffering those people when through. For those who haven't seen the film, Night and Fog is a short documentary on the views inside of the concentration camps that the nazis controlled. Still from this day on i can still picture so clearly all of the most powerful scenes in that short film, and i can only imagine the terror the people that survived the camps still see. Not only were the images powerful, the way they were cut also helps power the film even more. For example when the film shows where the trains full  of crammed box cars come in to the camp in the present day and then switch over to when it actually happened. Cutting it this way really makes you feel scared just as the people who lived though it did. Aside from the cuts, the clips in general from when they pushed bodies into giant holes still are stuck in my mind forever. No matter if it was the way the editors cut the film or their clip selection, they still can get their point across in this film, and thats what they did. Night and Fog will always remind me of what happened in those horrible camps, no matter if i watch it again or not.
