It has been ten years since the last time I watched Schindler's List for the first time.
Ten years ago, I spent two days reading it during a winter vacation. It was so shocking that it might have planted the seeds of my interest in World War II and international politics. For the next ten years, I have always regarded this movie as my favorite movie and made a new line, which cannot be treated as a movie.
This year, the Shanghai Film Festival was fortunate to have a 4K restoration, and I saved up to grab tickets (actually, I asked Judy) to watch it.
Ten years later, I have gone to many places, including the Jewish Memorial in Berlin and the Czech Republic; I have also witnessed the disintegration of the European Union, so I have written two papers and earned three diplomas, which I will enjoy on the big screen again. this movie.
I didn't cry this time.
before the show
The Shanghai Film Festival is showing the 4K version restored by the director himself, and this time the Shanghai Film Festival even has a Dolby sound version without subtitles. Because it is a special edition, there is an interview monologue by the director in front of it, talking about the significance of Schindler's List, saying that in modern times, it still has the meaning of being shown, and we must understand the worst level of human nature.
nitty gritty
Talk about the details that moved me.
The script or the story itself is too heavy, and it is history itself, and it cannot be ignored. There is nothing to say about the degree of completion of the film as a film. After reading it, I only dare to discuss the subjective, small details that touch me, and pay tribute to the director's handling again.
When I watched it this time, many details were as vivid as the first time I watched it ten years ago, and I couldn't help but be shocked by how deeply impressed this movie was on me.
- gold inlaid dentures
At the train station, the Jews were going to be sent to the concentration camp. The Nazi officers told them to mark their luggage and leave it on the platform. The luggage was not with you and would arrive later in the next car.
Turning around, all the luggage was taken to the sorting room, sorted into categories, and all the valuables were taken away. Countless people have photos of their families in their luggage, piled up in mountains. The same Jewish mechanic was sorting rings and diamonds. In front of a mechanic, the Nazi officer suddenly poured out a bag of gold-studded dentures, about a hundred pieces in pieces.
The camera stopped for a few seconds and fell on the shocked face of the Jewish mechanic. Each false tooth came from a compatriot who had died or was about to die. How many lives should this be.
- Efficient sweeps
"today is the history" The ghetto cleansing scene culminates in a climax, and all the details are too savoury. The hiding places of every family, the Nazi officers who wrapped diamonds in bread and swallowed their stomachs, greeted children and yelled at Jews, gunshots and piano sounds, never missed any hiding places with stethoscopes, little Jewish soldiers, And, of course, the most famous, the only red in the black-and-white sequence in the entire film.
- The ashes of the blizzard in June
- Shower in the gas chamber
Jewish women who were already on Schindler's list were taken to Auschwitz because of technical problems. His hair was cut off and he was rushed into the gas chamber. This scene is exactly the same as the terrifying scene they talked about in the sleep talk. Everyone fell into a trembling of despair. After a moment of darkness and screaming, the shower head spewed out real water instead of poisonous gas, and a relaxed smile of rebirth bloomed on everyone's face.
Now
I don't know when the next time I will see Schindler's list, but I sigh that it is so good to have such a work, and it is so peaceful. Still my favorite movie, respect.
