      make way for life

      This movie is old, I did see it for the first time a year ago, thanks for the 60th anniversary of D-Day.
          I remember that at the commemoration of the liberation of the concentration camp, there was heavy snow with goose feathers, the sky and the earth had merged into a dull gray, and countless great men had merged with the snowflakes all over the sky. They lowered their once proud heads and observed a moment of silence for you. Under such a ceremony, the souls wandering in the barbed...

      His charisma can conquer the universe!

      A black and white film showing a gray world where everyone's heart is gray, whether it's a hopeless Jewish future or a murderous Nazi party!

      Just for moving slowly at work, a Jew's life is instantly wiped out; just for not being screened out in medical exams, and female captives cheer like a holiday; just for not brushing the stains off the bathtub, a Jewish maid People were shot! The countless bright red blood shed by the gray life never awakened the humanity of the Nazi officers....

      black oppression

      Watching this movie again after a few years, it is still a heavy and suffocating sense of oppression.
      In this way, he sat silently in front of the black and white screen for more than three hours, but it was like being squeezed by someone's chest. Apart from witnessing and crying, he couldn't make any sound.

      I've always rejected films that depict war because I can't avoid the killing scenes. I can accept some kind of killing, but when the number of killings exceeds a certain...

      Impressive memory

      I don't always like these War kind films, they are bloody and cruel, and a little chaos. But this one is different from others, it started my thinking of history and human's nature. I watched this film when I was just a junior student,our Chinese teacher recommended it to us.What impressed me most is the little girl in red.She was the only creature with color in this black and white film,she was so attractive and living that her death threw a strong strike to the audience. In addition to this,...

      eyes

      What left the deepest impression on me was the look in the window of Oscar Schindler, played by Liam Neeson towards the end of the film, as he slowly drove away in the presence of his own factory workers. It was a look of pity. . There were still a little tears in the corners of his eyes, because of the remorse that "I could have done more" he said emotionally before, because of the proof letter and ring signed by all the workers when they parted, and because He knew it might be a goodbye...

      Movies that I wanted to see but didn't dare to watch for many years, I cried many times, Spielberg is a great man, as a Jew, in the face of the history of the genocide, he did not complain of anger, but spoke calmly. Telling that piece of history, I hope future generations will remember this piece of history, and hope that future generations will not repeat this piece of history, seeing the fragment that started the massacre of Jews, I understand why Zweig chose to leave a suicide note, what...

      A masterpiece full of humanitarian spirit from a director full of humanitarian spirit. This unforgettable history uses black and white footage to reproduce the darkness without color in the form of a documentary. The cruelty of the war, the crimes of the Nazis, the suffering of the Jews, needless to say, the images of what actually happened are far more shocking than ordinary dramas. The little girl in red represents the tens of thousands of children brutally killed by the Nazis. They are...

      The first time I watched it was the winter vacation of the second year of high school. At that time, I was impatient and procrastinated to read it without much feeling. Today is the second time I watched it, and I saw a lot of details that were vague or could not be remembered, as well as the language of the lens. Spielberg depicted the persecution of Jews in World War II almost in a panoramic view, and used a hand-held lens to restore many scenes like a documentary. What impressed me more was...

    Movie plot

    German speculator Schindler ( played by Liam Nissen ) is a member of the Nazi Party. He is feminine, can enjoy, and is a well-known Nazi hardcore in the locality. He is good at using and connecting to get the most profit. In occupied Poland, Jews are the cheapest labor. Therefore, Schindler's factory only uses Jews. However, when these people get this job, they also get temporary security and are protected from slaughter as producers...

    Filming tidbits

    Billy Wilder contributed the original script for the film.
    Martin Scorsese rejected the opportunity to direct the film in the 1980s. He believed that he could not do the job well like a Jewish director. Later, he agreed to use the film in exchange with Steven Spielberg to direct "Cape Terror".
    Spielberg wanted to give up the opportunity to direct to Roman Polanski. Because the theme was too personal, Roman Polanski, who had a childhood...

    Piercing shots

    Coherence: When Schindler kissed a Jewish girl, he put his hands on her face. In the next shot, his hands were dropped from her shoulders.
    Coherence: When Schindler was looking for Isaac at the train station, before he was expelled, Schindler shouted his name at the train and walked away. At the same time, Stern replied, "He is in the train. ,gentlemen!". But in the next shot, Schindler walks to another train, while Stern is inside.

    Creative background

    In order to repay Schindler's life-saving grace, Podeck Pfeifferberg, who survived World War II, decided to spend his life telling the story of Schindler's saving the Jews. In 1963, Pfeifferberg tried to co-produce a biopic about Schindler with MGM, but failed in the end. In 1982, the Australian novelist Thomas Kennelly published the novel "Schindler's Ark" after meeting Pfeifferberg. American Music Company President Sid Schieenberg...

    Evaluation action

    "Schindler's List" has a touching plot and a tragic vibe. The documentary-style shooting method with black and white photography as the main tone gives the film a real effect, touching and thought-provoking. The film language in the film is very well used. When showing the tragic experience of the Jews, there is a shot of red. In the scene of the stormtrooper slaughtering the Jews, the little girl in red forms an extremely strong...

    Movie quotes

    • [Oskar Schindler has been arrested for kissing a Jewish girl]

      Julian Scherner: We give you a Jewish girl at five marks a day, Oskar. You should kiss us, not them. God forbid you ever get a real taste for Jewish skirt, there's no future in it. They don't have a future. That's not just good old fashioned Jew hating talk. It's policy now.

    • Itzhak Stern: By law I have to tell you, sir, I'm a Jew.

      Oskar Schindler: Well, I'm a German, so there we are.

    • Itzhak Stern: It's Hebrew, it's from the Talmud. It says, "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire."
