Some controversy remains among critics and filmmakers concerning the portrayal of Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes). Some said that he is too stereotypically presented as the evil psychopathic Nazi, yet others claim that the performance didn't go far enough as compared to his real-life counterpart. Holocaust survivors have testified that apart from ordering executions, Goeth himself randomly shot and tortured dozens of people on a daily basis, and even had prisoners torn up by his two dogs. He would also hang victims all around the camp, to the point where there was literally no place you could look without seeing a corpse on display. Most disturbingly, Goeth was rumored to have used babies for target practice. Reportedly, Steven Spielberg saw no need in depicting all these atrocities to show Goeth's evil character.
