Introduction:
German speculator Schindler (liam neeson) is a member of the Nazi Party. He is a lecherous and enjoys it. He is a famous local Nazi die-hard. He is good at using relationships to get the maximum benefit.
Jews are the cheapest labor force in occupied Poland. So Schindler's factory only uses Jews. However, when these people got the job, they gained temporary security and were protected from slaughter as producers of war products. Schindler's factory became a refuge for Jews.
However, the Nazi's cruel persecution of Jews made Schindler more and more dissatisfied. 1943, Schindler's last fantasy about the Nazis was shattered by the cruel massacre of Krakow Jews. He knew the Nazi massacre of Jews and the horror of Auschwitz concentration camp. Since then, Schindler has only one idea, to protect Jews from Auschwitz's death as much as possible.
He made a list of workers who claimed that the normal operation of the factory was "necessary" and bribed Nazi officials to survive. He is more and more suspected of violating racial laws, but every time he cleverly avoids persecution and risks his life to save Jews as always.
When a train carrying his female workers staggered to Auschwitz, he also spent a lot of money to get them back to his factory.
Soon, the Soviet Red Army came to Krakow to announce the end of the war to the surviving Jews who worked in Schindler's factory. On a snowy night, Schindler bid farewell to the workers, and 1000 Jews were rescued to see him off. They gave Schindler a signed testimony to prove that he was not a war criminal.
At the same time, some people knocked out their gold teeth, made a gold ring and presented it to Schindler. The ring is engraved with a famous Jewish proverb: saving one life is equivalent to saving all mankind. Schindler was in tears, and he felt pain for not saving more Jews. Schindler has done everything he can to save himself.
All his property was used to save the lives of Jews. In the snow, the Jews watched Schindler leave the city. His righteous behavior will always be remembered by Jews.
Film and television evaluation:
Schindler's List has a touching plot and tragic momentum, and the documentary shooting method with black and white photography as the main tone makes the film have a real effect, touching and thought-provoking.
The use of film language in this film is excellent. When the tragic experience of the Jews was shown, there was a scene in red. In the scene where the stormtroopers slaughtered Jews, the little girl in red formed a very strong contrast with the picture, which produced a visual effect with great artistic impact. When the little girl appeared again, she was already a corpse on the corpse transport car.
This treatment is very classic, and it also points out the influence on the protagonist's mind. For Schindler, this little girl represents all the Jewish misfortunes he has seen and the changes that have taken place in his heart. The profound connotation and artistic value of this shot are enough to go down in history.
When the movie went on until the Jews were free from the concentration camp, the screen suddenly lit up with bright colors. The application of this obvious film language skill has played a very good role in the film. From dull black and white to rich natural colors, it vividly shows people's cheerful mood after lifting the danger of death and regaining freedom.
The ending of the film also has its touching artistic charm. It reflects the Jews' infinite respect for Schindler, and at the same time makes the film have the artistic effect of reviewing history and making people think deeply, which greatly expands the performance space of the film.
