Thinking of a List

Practiced its theme song on the piano a year ago, and now I'm used to playing those melodies with my eyes closed. Four years ago, I played its complete original soundtrack on the computer over and over again, and I imagined the possible plot of each song countless times... Finally, I saw it, I saw the end of the imagination and the melody, the beautiful pictures screen. "Schindler's List".
WWII. Jewish. The darkest and darkest pages in human history. Perhaps the films of this theme have already been overwhelming, and various sides have been written, and all kinds of performances have been performed. There are countless non-forest films submerged in time and memory, so why is this list unique? Personally, I think that the artistic expression, the clever choice of plot lines, and the true and full characterization are part of the reason why it stands out. Of course, the soft but almost shocking soundtrack tickled the audience's emotional strings like "listening to thunder in a silent place", ensuring that in the long 195 minutes there must be a moving eruption - perhaps the one who appeared in red A scene, perhaps the moment when the water of life poured out of the shower faucet, or when the Jewish song once again floated over Auschwitz...
The one who shook my heart the most was such a character: Schindler's Jewish accountant, Stern .
Stern, as his name suggests, is rigid to the point of rigidity, rigid to the point of dullness—but with a clear head, not just in terms of economics. absolute sanity. From the very beginning, he was clearly aware of his destiny, that he who had no country and no home could only be a fragile but stoic reed swaying in the wind and rain of war, that no matter how close he was to Schindler, they would eventually It was a man of two worlds - Schindler, who went to and from the ball; Several times Schindler rescued him from the tiger's mouth, he was just indifferent, at least his expression. I'm afraid it's too complicated to express with a clear expression. No wonder, at the beginning of it all, when Schindler toasted him, he seemed so uncomfortable. Come to think of it, time and events are really the most efficient way to change people - at the end of everything, in the same dark office, Stern holds the list in his hand, saying that it's great, this list is great.
He is a Jew, a Jew who has survived the torrent of the times, a Jew who has witnessed the torrent of this era, a Jew who combines the difficulties and contradictions faced by the Jewish nation, a lucky and legendary Jew.
War always makes people feel heavy. Yet war always seemed so inevitable. Some people, from countries, there are always contradictions and conflicts, which then develop into wars. Therefore, some people call for a "global village", for the removal of restrictions between countries, and even for a return to the kind of primitive peace at the beginning of the birth of mankind.
Existence has its rationality. It is impossible without a country. If there is no country, everyone is confused and similar to each other, where can the diversity of human civilization come from?
As long as one country is established first, others are sure to follow. Because no one protects their rights, they have to set up their own organizations to protect themselves. Otherwise, they can only be slaughtered like the Jews. After all, the earth is not big.
As for restrictions, no country has the same restrictions. Not to mention the earth, the solar system and the Milky Way are just that big. Someday an alien will come out and grab our territory, and probably people will have a deeper understanding of peace.
After wandering, I know how happy a country is. After wandering, I know how warm it is to have a home. Learning other people's history will make you love your country more.
May the world be at peace.
