Sophie Chooses her son.
Experts answers this scene in the movie clip
The basis of the question goes to the heart of the
choice Sophie has to make.
There is little , if any rational
justification behind why she chooses
what she chooses.
this is probably the terrifying aspect
behind both her choice and the Holocaust
in general. The absence of rationally
and predictability is the true terror
of the Holocaust , millions of people
were "chosen" to die, like Sophie's daughter.
There was little in the way of rational
justification behind that. There was nothing
they did, nothing that was warranted behind
this. the evil that was brought about through
irrationality was what was so terrifying
behind the Holocaust. At the same time, the
survivors of the ordeal had little to go on in
terms of why they lived. What was the
differentiation between them and the
person next to them who was sentenced
to die at the hands of an SS officer or
in the gas chamber ? What did one
person do to live while the other dies?
The randomness of this, the arbitrary nature
which ended up governing the laws of life
and death during the Holocaust are played
out in "Sophie's choosing of her son to live
and daughter to die.
The painful agonizing , and yet random nature
of this choice, where a mother must say
"Take my little girl." to the SS officer who is
trying to pry both children away is the sum
total of both Sophie's experience and
metaphorically speaking the reality
of so many who lived through the
Holocaust. It is the point where Sopie's
narrative resonates quite lucidly ; meaning
Sophie understood what she was saying.
In the real story behind the movie of
"Sophie's Choice" This movie has
become an idiom for unbearable
choices . A woman named Franciszka's pigsty
faces an impossible situation.
Her baby cries
and has alerted the enemy below.
A German soldier climbs up
the steps to the loft and whispers
to her, "Do you want to go with
your baby?" She has only a minute to
make a decision that no one could make
in a lifetime.
Dear One's , in the Movie clip, the officer made
an offer to Sophie in demanding her to
choose which child to hand over to him.
In abortion we are making a choice to hand
over our unborn child.
In the movie , Sophie could have said
"You will have to kill me first."
In abortion the unborn child is
treated of a lesser value and unimportant.
Also in the Movie Sophie yelled out
to the German Nazi Soldier "I am Catholic !"
She wanted to stand out among the
crowd in thinking she might be saved.
She wanted to show the Soldier
that she was not one of them ; a Jew.
Because people are different and some
hold higher
up places , have become successful,
and stand out among the people,
ect..... can allow people to become
mentally and
socially disconnected from those in
their own surroundings.
Furthermore, when we believe we are
better than others ,we develop
little compassion with no empathy
given towards another.
We become so absorbed in ourselves
own well being and we give no
attention to those people who are
different.
Because we want to place ourselves among a
group that is accepted in our countries, cities,
work places and our schools .We seek out to find
acceptance , even if it harms
another person.
Sophie wasn't any different from the
other woman and children whom she
was marching with in the mix of the
crowd.
The only difference was she was a
Christian and they were a Jew.
The law pointed out the Jewish
people as lower class citizens and
dehumanized them to their death.
The law points out the unborn
child isn't born yet , therefore
it is classified as not murder. The
unborn child means very
little to the world and is
dehumanized.
On the contrary, if a woman has
a child in her womb and is murdered
the murderer is accountable for TWO
murders.
Sophie was expressing why she shouldn't have
to die and be taken
away and of course she was trying to save her
children.
Abortion is expressing the mother's well being
is at best , therefore the unborn child should be
separated from her . The attention is being
focused on the Mother and the results
is death for the unborn baby.
