Schindler's List (1993): Discussing Fear and Power

The clip Discussing Fear and Power from Schindler's List (1993) with Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes

Wonderful party, Amon. Thank you.
Why do you drink that motor oil?
I send you good stuff all the time.
Your liver's going to explode like a hand grenade.
You know, I look at you...
...I watch you!
You're never drunk.
Oh, that's...
...that's real control.
Control is power.
That's power.
Is that why they fear us?
We have the fucking power to kill, that's why they fear us.
They fear us because we have the power to kill arbitrarily.
A man commits a crime, he should know better.
We have him killed, and we feel pretty good about it.
Or we kill him ourselves and we feel even better.
That's not power, though.
That's justice. It's different than power.
Power is when we have every justification to kill...
...and we don't.
You think that's power?
That's what the emperors had. A man stole something...
...he's brought in before the emperor...
...he throws himself down on the ground, he begs for mercy.
He knows he's going to die.
And the emperor, pardons him.
This worthless man. He lets him go.
