In Schindler's List, I hate the scene in the end where Schindler is bemoaning how he could have done more, how he could have sold his watch.

This I really don't understand. Very powerful scene, and perfectly understandable emotions as the war finally ends.

Basically, I thought that watching that scene was like having someone communicate a very basic idea with a sledgehammer. The same thought and emotion could have been expressed much more simply and effectively (as I felt was happening during the rest of the movie).

I know what you mean, Wynton. You are saying that it is a trite way to portray the point being made. It is no, “I coulda’ been a contender. I coulda’ been somebody…” moment. (Excuse the poor analogy.)
