There is that paragraph in the middle!
At 12:42 on April 14, the video begins. The heartfelt chants of the Jews standing around the table are traditional prayer rituals, swaying, flashing and clustering. The uncertain candlelight was gradually swallowed up by black as the chorus weakened. The video switches from color to black and white. Throughout the film, the sad and sad violin solo and the almost unaccompanied mixed chorus give a strong and weak harmony that still retains the form of the chant. The brief beating of the red highlights on a little girl's dress gives life. The color still remembers the eternal promise of setting up a rainbow. On the horizon that stretches out at the end of the film, the tone of the psalm unfolds and secular melodies swarm a group of people in darkness. The scene decisively changes to bright colors, sweeping all the light, "When I cover the earth with clouds, there will be a rainbow." Now in the clouds, "make the world colorful."
Schindler was a German. He used the war launched by the Germans to induce Jewish businessmen to invest, and hired cheap Jewish workers to produce military aluminum products suitable for war. At that time, the advantages of his status opened up a wide range of markets, and he made a lot of money in that era of smoke. After making huge profits, he said to his wife; "I dare say that people here will not forget Schindler easily. They will say: 'Oscar Schindler is remembered by everyone. He did outstanding things.'" , he could do what others could not, he came here empty-handed and left with two suitcases filled with the wealth of the world. '"
The tragedy of debreeding in the Jewish area in 1943-- A bloody day began. Countless Jews were driven from their homes into the streets. After bursts of gunfire, groups of Jews fell down. At nightfall, the Jews who thought they were safe "walked" out of their hiding places, from under the floor, from under the bed, from the piano... But before they had time to take a breath of peaceful air, gunshots rang in their ears again. ...Blood seeped from the ceiling and flowed from under the bed...A German commander played Bach's music leisurely...At that time, a German officer said to Schindler: "Today is a moment in history. It will be commemorated today. 600 years ago, the Jews settled in Colaco. They prospered in commerce, science, education, and art. They came with nothing, but made a fortune in six centuries. Jewish Colaco, to this evening, six centuries of history have become rumors, they never happened, today is history. "
Wealth and eternity are the goals pursued by human beings individually and collectively, let. The world will remember it and become history. Wealth is easy to lose money. ?Bran ⑾ toe ⑸? And lie?

When the German army was about to evacuate Colaco, the Jews would be transferred to concentration camps. In the name of the large amount of labor required to produce munitions, Schindler began to use them during the war. The money earned bought the Jews who were bound to suffer the fate of the concentration camps: Zorsner, Wien, Rosner, Pfeifferburg, Fisher, Schaffa, Woolenck, Horowitz... Schindler's List 1,100 Jews were saved. In order not to arouse suspicion and have the factory closed down, Schindler bought arms produced by other factories and passed them off as his own products. He said: "If our factory produces qualified arms, I will not be happy." The war is over. , the Germans failed, the workers gained the freedom to live, and Schindler went bankrupt and had to flee because of the crime of "war criminal". "Schindler's List" as a value allows the world to measure its wealth. "Schindler's List" serves as a memory that reminds the world of its history.
The workers used a gold tooth they had saved, the only tangible thing they had left after the war, to cast a ring for Schindler and engraved a sentence from the Talmud Hebrew scripture: "Saving one life is equal to saving the whole world." As Jews, they believe that nothing can be compared with saving the world. Saving the world cannot save mankind in the abstract, and perhaps treat each life as concretely as possible.
Schindler choked up and said: "I spent too much money...I could have...this car - ten lives...this brooch - two lives..." As Schindler himself believed that he did The gift was not enough, but the Jews held his hand and comforted him, saying, "You have done a lot." The mutual gratitude between those who gave charity and those who benefited made the history of salvation.
Jews have been wandering around the world for generations, walking alone on the earth. They still retain their own language and their own identity. They do not easily merge into other societies because they cannot be like other societies. People identify their neighbors in this way, and then have a clear distinction between love and hate. They can only use the parable of the Good Samaritan in the Bible to identify their neighbors in life, and then seek to love their neighbors as they love themselves. Collective morality, social ideals, national interests, and national liberation all delineate areas for the purpose of becoming neighbors to others. Humanity is the home of freedom.
The shot of a crude typewriter typing out a list is a main line in the entire film, and it is also the most dull and boring. It is precisely the lead-like stubborn accent of this theme picture and the soft, wing-like stretching of the background music that makes the whole film feel dull and boring. The sound made people silent and full of thoughts. Art is not a well-intentioned aesthetic introduction, nor a humanistic phenomenon of the God of Evolution, but a formal expression of the beauty of the God of Creation. Schindler is respected by the Jews as a "righteous man", and the Jews listed on "Schindler's List" also call themselves "Schindler's Jews". The list has become an unforgotten memory on Schindler's tombstone. Jews still read the list every year to commemorate their compatriots who died in World War II. On specific occasions, many people take turns reading it for several days. The list becomes an unforgotten tombstone in their memory.
"...This list is the way to survive..."
Today is history
History
Today is history, is " A line from Schindler's List.
The German officer Goren, played by Ralph Fiennes, delivered a speech before leading the SS to sweep the Jewish neighborhood in Krakow. He repeated it several times in a thick nasal voice.
History is both familiar and unfamiliar to everyone. But does the painful past mean history? It should be said that it is both yes and no. When we use the word tragic to emphasize its hurt, the past has become a sense of history. Although "Schindler's List" presents us with that period of the past, it does not emphasize the pain of history. This pain is our experience, not the film itself.
This period of history has no background significance in the film. Therefore, neither Germans nor Jews criticize or praise them. There is no need to give examples.
We hope it can be more perfect, just hope, the purpose of "Schindler's List" is to save lives!
Help
"Saving one person means saving the whole world!" This sentence sounds similar to what we Chinese often hear: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." It coincides with the truth that the meaning of saving lives is not the act of saving lives, but the purification of the soul. He first saved himself.
As the protagonist of the story, Schindler’s life has not been fully unfolded in the film, but the most comprehensive and important part has been seen under the magnifying glass of war. In the historical context, Schindler appeared as a businessman, and then he was a member of the Nazi Party. Of course, it doesn’t matter whether he believes in National Socialism or not. What’s important is that at the cocktail party at the beginning of the film, he highlighted the style of an opportunist. He had no feelings for the Jews. When the historical opportunity came, he keenly seized the opportunity and made war fortune. He skillfully squeezed the blood and sweat of the Jews.
However, on the day of "Today is history", Schindler's appearance on the top of the mountain was an accident. It showed that the German SS was not only committing atrocities against the Jews, but also symbolized the entire human race. , including the Germans themselves. The reason is what is called dialectical thinking. Schindler's mental trauma and his wife's horror attest to this. At that moment, Schindler began to be reborn, also known as one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.
The symbol of life is in the little girl in red running around in the crowd. When Schindler saw her, he found his soul. In that era, he still needed to be a human being.
War is the thin red line that tests humans and non-humans.
Why do religions believe in original sin and why do they forbid killing people? If we only consider the numerical gap between 6 million and 1,100 people, we can actually understand that Schindler's existence is extraordinary, but does he need the added moral weight? Is the film just about showing his "unprecedented and unprecedented" significance? Schindler's greatness in saving lives, is this history?
Witness of life - "Schindler's List"
Writing this topic, I have so many thoughts in my mind, but I don't know where to start. Not to mention the selection and shooting of the film, the solemnity and depth are enough to take your breath away. I saw the friends around me with their relaxed postures and smiling faces. I saw the blue sky, the pink peach blossoms, the fresh green branches, and the sunshine shining warmly on me. I felt the heaviness in my heart, even the corners of my eyes. There is also bitterness, but I don’t have the courage to cry. I can’t find words to describe my insignificance in the pain of history. This drama exhausted all my confidence and strength, even the gray and black film world obliterated my vision. The disappearance of the only red color also stung my emotions. The heartfelt Jewish hymns cleansed my soul. The piano played against The warmth of the violin gave me the power to think.
Staring at the computer blankly, not moving forward. This heavy realization makes my heart and head aching. This is an unbearable weight in life!
Schindler, a German with a keen sense of war, believes that past failures are not due to himself, but because of the lack of a certain element, that is WAR. Then the heaviness comes, those killing words that are almost like typing, life and death are just a matter of words, you can't imagine tomorrow, or even the state of the next second. For the Jews, life may only mean fear, thinking Death will come at any time in the next second. "A moment of life is ultimately life." Life and death may have no meaning at all here. The frail body in the cesspit, the confused eyes; the German soldier shouting in terror in front of the burning mountain of corpses; the cart that clears the corpses removes the only color in the play. Is this war or a sin of human nature?
The gunshots soaring into the sky, the blood flowing, and the German soldiers were playing Bach leisurely... The officer said, "Six centuries have formed the Jewish Colaco. Tonight, six centuries of history have become Rumors, they never happened, today is history. ”
Wealth and eternity are the goals pursued by human beings individually and collectively, let the world remember them and become history. Wealth can easily change hands, and history is often rewritten. Can wealth replace the value of life, and can history erase the memory of existence? Is it the discovery of conscience or the occurrence of faith? Discovery is as important as occurrence. Otherwise, without discovery, the starting point of life will not achieve the goal of life; without occurrence, the goal of life will violate the starting point of life. Occurrences allow people to have a basis, and discoveries allow people to bear witness. Schindler began to think about value in the game of killing. If there were survivors of the war today, what kind of testimony would he bear?
The sound of the crude typewriter is not boring, the sound is more determined than the sound of gunshots. The two kinds of dullness give you thousands of words of thoughts. The backs of Schindler and the old man are filled with words in the dim beam of light. Justice and warmth, this majesty touched the hardest part of my heart.
That list of names witnesses the eternity of life, and that ring shines brightly in the long river of history. "Saving one life is equivalent to saving the whole world." How many lives are there? Schindler, who is buried in Jerusalem, bought eternity with wealth and became a memory that will never be forgotten. This is a testimony of life!
Salute!

Review of Schindler's List
In 1993, the famous American director Steven Spielberg led the film crew of "Schindler's List" to Poland for the first time. When they entered the Krakow Center Camp during World War II and prepared to set up camp, they suddenly received an urgent telegram from the National Jewish Association from New York: "Please do not disturb the souls of the dead, let them rest in peace." Spielberg read this message A few words of text messages, but no words were spoken.
He immediately ordered the entire film crew to evacuate the Krakow concentration camp and move dozens of kilometers away to set up sets for filming. At the same time, he left the film crew alone and flew directly to New York. Spielberg crossed the Atlantic and went to New York in person to apologize to the "Jewish Association" without sending a representative or using fast and convenient modern communication tools such as telephone, telegraph, and telex. His humility and sincerity impressed all members of the "Jewish Association" All moved. No wonder international film critics later praised "Schindler's List" as "a film full of humanitarianism shot by a director full of humanitarian spirit."
"Schindler's List" shocked the world - this film, which profoundly exposed the horrific crimes of the German Nazis in massacre of Jews, premiered in Frankfurt, Germany on March 1, 1994. The German President personally attended The film's premiere. U.S. President Clinton was so impressed after watching the film that he even exclaimed at a press conference: "I urge you to see this film."
"Schindler's List" has such a It should be said that the shocking power of the huge impact and such a deep and painful artistic charm are related to the fact that Spielberg has Jewish blood flowing in his body, and that he personally experienced the pain of discrimination against Jews in his childhood; as well as his origins in Ukraine It is inseparable from a series of inescapable facts such as the fact that 17 members of the big family were murdered in the Nazi concentration camp in Poland; and that deep down in his heart he had a pious and grateful attitude towards Schindler, the great benefactor of the Jews. of.
As early as 1982, Spielberg received "Schindler's List" written by Australian novelist Thomas Corneares from his producer, never detailing it. Uncharacteristically, Spielberg read the novel carefully and immediately bought the rights to adapt and produce it. He realized that this was a subject he had longed for, but he knew the time was not yet ripe. It was not until 10 years later, in the spring of 1993, that some important people in the film industry persuaded him to abandon the shooting plan of this non-commercial film. A leading figure in his film company even suggested: "Instead of making this film, it is better to use the money to Donate to the Holocaust Museum." This sentence angered Spielberg and further contributed to his determination to make this film at any cost. The film company finally gave in and had to let this "child" director, who is known for his game mentality in shooting thrillers, horror films and science fiction films, to realize his dream. For this film, Spielberg gave up his usual movie stunts for the first time, refused to hire Hollywood movie stars to star in the film, and only hired a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp as an assistant director and a Jew rescued by Schindler. Video consultant. In this way, he only spent 23 million US dollars to shoot this 3 hours and 15 minutes of film. The filming of this film was a new experience for Spielberg, and the suppressed emotional floodgates suddenly opened. He said: "This time I felt that what mattered was not my imagination, but my conscience. Suddenly, I used to use the camera to escape reality and face reality head-on. I cried during the filming, and I shed tears every day."
In order to facilitate work, Spielberg took his family to Poland, but he was 14 hours a day. After hours of intense shooting work, his relatives could not free him from his thoughts during the day. During the filming of the film, Spielberg was unable to control his emotions more than once and forced the filming to stop midway. When he directed the extras with gestures - the healthy to the right and the sick to the left, he felt like a Nazi; when he directed the women to shave their heads, strip off their clothes and treat them like animals His heart was breaking as he rushed back and forth. He said: "This is the most terrifying experience in my life." For several weeks, he did not shake hands with the German actors in the crew or say hello to the actors wearing Nazi uniforms. He thought he was living in that year. In the Nazi concentration camp, four months later, the film was shot in Poland, and the physically and mentally exhausted Spielberg finally showed a smile. ...After filming this film, Spielberg declined the salary and decided to donate all his personal profits to the United States Holocaust Museum.
Although "Schindler's List" is mainly shot in black and white, it is still a large-scale color production. There are 126 characters in the film and 30,000 extras are used to perform. In addition to 30 locations in Poland, 140 sets were also built. More than a hundred Jews were mobilized in front and behind the scenes to allow them to relive the horrific and bloody nightmare of the Nazis.
The plot of the film is turbulent and tragic. Picture by picture, the solid technique of a documentary with black and white photography as the main tone shows the horror of the German Nazis' crazy extermination of the Jews. The horror of the film is tear-jerking. ...
"Schindler's List" has become the most watched film in the world. Its seriousness of thought and extraordinary artistic expression have reached an almost insurmountable depth. Many films have been made in the past depicting the mass murder of Jews during World War II, but this is the first true story about the Germans awakening their conscience and risking their lives to rebel against the Nazis and rescue the Jews. In the film, Schindler was not a hero at the beginning. Why he became a hero in the end is not explained in the film - it only shows his actions. Spielberg uses a small, symbolic foil:
While clearing the Jewish ghetto in Kraków, Schindler is seen wielding clubs, wildly firing stormtroopers and driven-out Jews among themselves saw a little girl in red who had walked through atrocities and massacres virtually unscathed. This scene greatly shocked Schindler. Spielberg treats the girl as a key character in the transformation of the entire film. In the black and white photography, only the little girl uses red. In Schindler's eyes, the little girl is the highlight of the entire massacre scene in black and white - the girl appears again later - she is lying on a corpse truck being taken to the crematorium.
This picture has become a classic. The deep connotation and artistic value of its photography far exceed that of film works in the general sense. From the beginning of the film to the announcement of the Nazis' surrender, they were all shot in black and white, with the purpose of enhancing the sense of reality and symbolizing the dark ages of the Jews. Later, the Nazis surrendered, and when the Jews walked out of the concentration camp, a bright light suddenly appeared on the screen, and brilliant colors appeared, making the audience feel as if they were walking from darkness into the sunshine, and they could experience the cheerful mood of the characters in the play when they were relieved of the threat of death.
The film’s director of photography, Zanussi Kamanski, mastered the texture of black-and-white photography, which has a heavy flavor, especially when shooting the slums in Poland, with low walls and bricks. , moist smell, restoring the true atmosphere of the era...
It is difficult for a good movie to achieve the perfection that is simply impossible to criticize like "Schindler's List". It should be said that its existence is a kind of eternity in movies. The Academy Awards only serve as a faded foil to it.
