Asa 2022-04-19 09:01:02

In the first shot, the little boy walks in front of the army with his head held high, accompanied by exciting music, he seems very confident and powerful, but the second shot looks at the child from the soldier's point of view, and immediately looks very small and insignificant. The camera directly looks down on the little girl, which is even more of a feeling of helplessness. This group of shots is a typical desire to suppress first.

Seeing the Jews surrounded and bullied by soldiers from a bystander's point of view, it shows the situation and helplessness of the Jews at that time (contact the latter shots, I personally think this is Schindler's point of view) The rhythm of the first few shots is similar, these two The camera is more dynamic, and the rhythm of Schindler's appearance becomes static again.

The swastika brooch was filmed again, followed by the filming, allowing the audience to view the group of Jews from the perspective of the characters. The final shot revealed that this person was Schindler. The director was constantly emphasizing Schindler’s Nazi identity. At this time, he was an outsider, right Jews have no feelings, only bystanders

The opening of the new scene, this shot shows the space shape of the circular staircase well, especially the circular staircase is well chosen, which can show the effect of many and crowded in the most limited space, as well as the bottom light shooting, the figure and the shadows of the railings are reflected on the wall, creating an atmosphere of depression and fear

Three Jews who gave feedback were shown, two of whom gave feedback together as a group, which was dynamic, and a single female Jew was static, focusing on two groups of Jews in such a large environment of a group of people, telling the audience to the Jews who queued here What is the purpose, and at the same time shows several Jews with different personalities. It is the same way that the director showed the Nazi banquet hall before, showing the big environment, and then focusing on a few different personalities.

After the first few shots were set up, and then the general space of the entire room was shown, a mild-mannered woman also expressed her dissatisfaction angrily, which shows how poor the authorities' policy towards Jews is. When the person behind the woman told her that the authorities would even kill Jews, the woman looked to the right side of the screen, directing the audience's attention to the right, providing a visual guide for Schindler's first appearance, and also pointed out the killing of Jews. a serious

Stern is in the far distance of the picture, and the image is very small. With Stern's character, he should have guessed what happened to the Jews in the future. When Schindler called him, he was too afraid to answer. Light shows the panic and unease in him

Next is this classic dialogue, analyzing the relationship between characters from the perspective of character height and image. This is too much to say, let’s talk about Stern, lock the doors one by one when entering the house, and declare yourself according to the law. His Jewish identity shows his cautious character. In the face of Schindler, he still retains his dignity and does not obey because he is a Jew, but the hand behind his back has been moving uncomfortably, which shows that he is a relatively secretive person.

Stern was somewhat dissatisfied and defensive about Schindler at this time, and he even had contempt in his tone. Stern politely refuses to smoke, and his behavior is good. It can be seen that he should be a more serious but not rigid person. Schindler's further attack on him puts Stern at a disadvantage

Stern suggested that he form an alliance with the military, and Schindler obviously didn't want to talk about the topic, turned his back on Stern, and opened up a new topic

The previous series of scheduling makes the high and low positional relationship between the characters completely in line with the strong and weak relationship, which can be displayed in a very natural way. This is the director's talent.

Stern was shocked by Schindler's plan

After Schindler finished talking about his plan, the two looked at each other. This was not only Stern's inner reaction, but also the audience's unbelievable reaction after hearing Schindler's empty-handed white wolf plan. The director was giving the audience time to react.

Sten declined Schindler after thinking, and Schindler tried to persuade him. The director omitted the following dialogue. According to the following plot, Schindler successfully talked Stern, showing Schindler's outstanding communication skills

Stern leads Jewish patrons to Schindler

First show the general environment of the Jewish blockade area, then show Stern who leads the Jewish financial master, and Schindler who is waiting in the car, typical characters of time and place, all explained clearly

Schindler began to negotiate with Jewish sponsors, and the first shot was shot out of the car window to watch Schindler's deal from a bystander's point of view

Schindler and Stern are in the same close-up frame, which is closer than before (of course it is related to the environment), and it seems that the two are on the same position. Personally, judging from Stern's expression, he is not very happy in his heart, after all, it is to help harassing Jews with outsiders. Looking at the Jewish financial master from the perspective of the rearview mirror has the meaning of examining what will happen to him in the future, so after some thought, the Jews agreed with Schindler's approach

The Jewish funder is negotiating. This rear-view mirror should be from Schindler's perspective. From his point of view, to figure out whether the Jewish funder will agree, Schindler should already have a plan in mind. The sequel was naturally a success. Sten rejected the wine given by Schindler this time. At present, it can be seen that he does not like drinking or is unwilling to accept Schindler's offer. He is still mostly defensive against Schindler, and Schindler is also constantly testing Stern's preferences

This shot tells us that Schindler successfully got the funds from the Jews. The Jewish gold master gave money like cutting meat, and Schindler took it for granted. The last two shots show the general environment of the factory, and the background music is full of irony.

At the beginning of the shot, Stern is squatting at the front, and his Jewish armband is highlighted in the center (the director is emphasizing his Jewish identity and Jewish factory Jewish funds). Put it on the round table and Stern in the cabinet, the status of the two of them is clear at a glance. Schindler didn't care what Stern said the whole time, and the two were estranged. Personal feeling that Stern was dispatched to the front to say Jewish workers

Stern had absolutely no idea that Schindler would have no sympathy for the Jewish situation, and he took it for granted. In the end, Schindler was dispatched to the camera, and Stern was behind, showing that Schindler was strong and Stern was weak.

There is also a dialogue between Stern and Schindler in the play where there is a secretary selection in the middle, but it mainly deals with the selection of the secretary. If the relationship between the two is not mainly expressed, it will not be put here.

Schindler's factory opened, and I was in a very good mood. I celebrated with Stern. Stern looked flattered and didn't know how to deal with Schindler.

Here, the relationship between the two people is closer than before, and Stern and Schindler are also in the same frame

Generally speaking, Schindler's picture ratio is still too large. Although the relationship between the two is now close, Schindler still occupies a strong position.

Schindler felt helpless about Stern's slowness

From this dialogue, the director showed that Schindler was a person who would remember the good of others, not the kind of white-eyed wolf who blindly used others. This also paved the way for him to rescue Jewish workers later, and further portrayed Stern's Stereotyped, sluggish, unsociable personality

Next is Stern reporting to Schindler

This shot is aimed at the inside of the factory workshop outside the window. The workers are eating. The location is in the factory workshop. At meal time, the camera pans down. Schindler closes the book to show his lunch, and then shows Xin Dele's face, backlit, hides his heart

Sten can report to work at mealtime, which shows that he has always been a very serious and dedicated person.

Just like a dialogue between superiors and subordinates, Schindler's previous kindness is gone. When it's time to get close, get close when it's time to get close, and when it's time to get away, Schindler is really suitable to be a leader.

The lighting is very nice. After the characters are dispatched, only Schindler is on the dark side, and the faces of the workers and Stern are always illuminated by the lights. The picture is in an unbalanced state, and there will be conflicts after the assassination. The director deliberately hides Schindler's expression, so that the audience cannot understand his thoughts. Here, the movement of the characters is used to achieve cross-axis, indicating that the next thing is a more important thing

Schindler was obviously upset and didn't want to talk to the workers, but he pretended to be happy talking to him anyway

After Schindler finished dealing with it, he sat back in his seat, feeling very unhappy and not in the mood to eat. After the scene was finally left, Schindler finally felt relaxed and took a sigh of relief (because there is a time limit for GIF clipping, it was not finished)

The starting point of the camera is also to point out the position. The two people come down from the upstairs, and at the same time increase the dynamic of the picture. Schindler was obviously very dissatisfied with Stern's previous actions, and Stern followed up with an account of matters, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates was clear at a glance. Stern didn't know how to deal with Schindler, so he could only ask the driver to drive and take Schindler away

Sending Schindler away and avoiding the problem is the only thing Stern can do. On the one hand, the two of them are not familiar enough, and on the other hand, Stern's communication skills are too poor.

The following is the plot of Schindler going to rescue Stern, and it is also that Schindler received the information that Stern was arrested when he was flirting with beautiful women.

Schindler rescued Stern with his own social methods. Schindler completely controlled all the initiative and looked confident. Stern was squeezed into a small corner, and from time to time half of his face was painted, he was completely in a weak position.

Schindler said that in case I am five minutes late, this sentence surprised Sten. When Sten, who is usually serious and rigorous, also made omissions, this character became more full and three-dimensional.

Schindler led Stern, and by the way, took out the luggage of the Jews who were taken away, and they were to be taken to unknown places

I have to sigh with emotion, the script of "Schindler's List" is really not very good

Schindler established a new labor factory concentration camp with the help of the German army, and Schindler came out to meet Stern during the banquet

Stern was taken to see Schindler, he kept scratching his head and pretending to have lice, so that the soldiers saw him and detoured, showing that Stern was still a little clever

As always, all the soldiers were taken by Schindler, still toasting each other from a distance

The two became closer over time

It is also very close to the use of the lens

Stern said a long list of important accounts, which made his eyes tired. It can be seen that Stern remembers the whole factory very clearly. He is an excellent accountant. It can also be seen that Schindler has a good vision for selecting people. . And Schindler is more for enjoyment, Stern helped him arrange the whole factory

Schindler couldn't keep up with Stern's rhythm at all, so he simply gave up and continued to register, which reflected Schindler's lack of patience and also showed Stern's seriousness and rigidity. After being locked in the concentration camp, Stern's clothes also became tattered , no longer a neat suit

Schindler came out from the banquet to meet Stern, and did not forget to bring him something to eat. The relationship between the two gradually deepened and they trusted each other.

Compared with the previous conversations, the spatial distance between the two is shrinking. At the same time, Schindler's perspective is used to watch Stern leave, highlighting Schindler's deepening friendship with Stern.

Watching Sten leave, there is sadness because he can't protect Stern, and there is also relief after seeing that Sten has nothing to do (how do you feel that this is more and more brotherly love)

The following plot is that a worker was almost shot by an officer because he was slow to make a hinge. Sten came to Schindler to intercede for him

Sten came all the way, it can be seen that he is a person who cares about his compatriots very much, and he is a kind-hearted person who thinks about others.

Stern said that he didn't talk about the main point for a long time, and Schindler felt that he didn't understand. He left Stern with a lighter that couldn't catch fire, and this lighter could catch fire with a single hit. The plot analogy that can't hit the bullet. The next shot is followed by a hit and a fire. My level is limited and I can't figure out why

Because the previous plot is that the officer's gun can't shoot bullets, and it is impossible to change several guns. This film itself is a realistic film, and it is obviously unreasonable to have such a plot. My personal feeling should be to express: if a gun cannot be used, should the gun be replaced; if a worker cannot work, should the worker should be replaced? This logic is not wrong, but this logic is in Sinde It won't work here, because he wants the worker not to work, but to save the person, so Schindler will keep a lighter that doesn't work well, so Schindler naturally saved the worker

Next is a female Jew who asks Schindler for help, hoping he can help his parents to come to work here, Schindler gets angry all of a sudden, he comes to Stern to complain

This part of the conversation is also very classic and has a lot of analysis, so I will not analyze it

Schindler first vented his dissatisfaction with the fact that others said that his factory could save people, and then felt guilty in his heart, and began to beautify the German officers, in order to appease the guilt arising from his relationship with the officers (Schindler's nature is Okay, but people's emotions are not like machines that will never change. There will always be hesitation and doubts. This is the excellence of this script. The characters are very real and full)

Stern was deeply dissatisfied with Schindler's previous words. Schindler walked behind Stern and blocked most of the windows. Schindler was not very interested in what Stern wanted to say, and told him about the previous officer's murder. matter

After Stern finished speaking, Schindler expressed his dissatisfaction. The camera zoomed out quickly, and Stern's image quickly shrank. Schindler's anger frightened Stern to some extent.

Since Stern began to tell the story, Schindler has not been shot in the face, the director avoided the moment of Schindler's inner struggle, and finally Schindler decided to help the old couple. After the decision was made, the director gave Schindler a side shot, highlighting his strength and determination

In fact, Schindler was able to reject the request of female Jews from the beginning to being willing to help her parents later. Personally, I think this shift has something to do with the story Stern told, but not entirely. Because Schindler was a kind person in his own right, he never objected to Stern helping Jews from the very beginning, and he was also willing to help Jews under possible conditions.

But what the female Jew said, saying that everyone knew that his factory was saving people, Schindler was afraid. This was different from the help he had given to the Jews before. Together, he only helped within his ability. Now he is in He is beyond his ability, and even threatens his own safety to help, so Schindler's hesitation and dissatisfaction are inevitable, but his kind nature still guides him to continue to help the Jews. Of course, the story told by Stern is also one of the factors. , is only an external cause, Schindler's kindness is an internal cause

The important prop Schindler's watch reappears, and time robs life. This conversation between Schindler and Stern has the color of superiors and subordinates, but it is not as strong as the previous dinner scene

Time flies, and Schindler talks to Stern again, dozens of minutes after the film

At this time, the difference between the two is even smaller, like an exchange between close friends, the German army is about to withdraw, and the factory is also moving. Schindler also wanted to take special care of Stern, which is only possible if the relationship between the two is extremely close.

There was a lamp in the frame when Stern began to speak, which formed a kind of spatial obstruction. Stern was talking to himself and did not listen to Schindler's words. Talk to yourself. Until the last sentence Stern said, I guess you should stay, there was no lamp in the frame. At this time, Stern was speaking to Schindler, not to himself as before. talk

There was parting in their words, and Stern laughed very far-fetched at the end, like the separation of close friends. It was separation, and they were worried about their future.

Schindler's view narrowed again. He said that returning to his hometown was just a casual talk. He may have had this idea, but it was only fleeting. They all know what the future holds

The clear background behind Schindler is also a portrayal of his complex inner heart. It is amazing that the director can use these lights and shadows so naturally

At this time, Stern is finally willing to drink with Schindler. It's not that he doesn't drink, he only drinks with his best friends

Farewell wine, the casting is so good, Schindler's profile is the same as the profile of an ancient Roman sculpture

The following is the plot of printing the list, and I don't really want to put it here for analysis, because I want to compare this part with other plots in the movie, because this part of the plot is not like the other parts analyzed above, right. The relationship between the two of them is highlighted

To print the list, Schindler hurriedly started it himself. The last one who let him get started was a beautiful secretary. It can be seen that the relationship between the two is extraordinary now.

The two were anxiously playing the list. Even at this time, Stern was still very serious and rigorous, and he could say with a smile when he smoked second-hand smoke about Schindler's smoking. With Stern's temperament, Schindler was very important to him. They are really close friends, and at the same time, it also shows that they can save the Jews together. Stern is very happy

The rhythm of the picture tends to be tense, and the rhythm is also accelerated by moving the mirror many times.

Schindler apparently knew the consequences of doing so

It is rare to see Stern talking without glasses, and speaking without glasses will be more sincere, because eyes are the window to the soul, and having a pair of glasses in front of the window will naturally not be thorough enough, so the director asked Stern to remove his glasses here. Although Stern and Schindler had a heart-to-heart talk before, every time he spoke, he kept half of what he said and didn't say it completely. Here, he spoke his heart.

Here is Schindler and Stern inside his new factory, receiving Schindler's wife and receiving a call from the military

Schindler put his hand on Stern's shoulder, and the two no longer had a relationship between superiors and subordinates, as if they were good friends. And Schindler is also frank with his wife after turning sex. The lighting changes in this scene are very exciting, from the gloomy start to Stern's inner tangle when he was about to announce the military information. At this time, in order to create the mood of the characters, he used side lighting to show

Then Stern told the military's information. The light was withdrawn and dimmed. Both of them were worried about the military's information. Then Schindler came up with a new way to deal with it, and the picture immediately brightened.

In fact, Schindler was still worried in his heart. The director used the surrounding space to make the light hitting Schindler and Stern change faintly. The overall light gradually turned gray, and finally Stern left. Create a good appearance

Stern went to question Schindler if he was hiding something financially

This time should be one of the few tough moments for Stern, but then he turned into a weak one. After all, all of Schindler's money was used to save the Jews, and he didn't have the confidence to continue talking to Schindler like this. The director's skill is really too strong. The sound of the table when Schindler is propping up the table is used to express Schindler's complicated heart. At the same time, the director did not shoot Schindler's face at this moment, which is really just right. Schindler himself knew that there would be

At the end, there is also the plot of Sten giving Schindler the ring. He is more of a kind, the Jewish worker representative expressed his gratitude to Schindler, so it will not be shown here, and it will be released in other pull-pieces
