Schindler, a shrewd and conscientious businessman, saved 1,100 Jews. At the end of the story, the workers cast a ring with their dentures and gave it to Schindler. The gift was so heavy that Schindler could hardly take it. He shed tears for the first time, and he regretted that he could not save it. more people.
I suddenly felt the power of war and love. The expression of these two extreme human emotions is the subject that every director is happy to shoot. The difference is that passion in war is always passive, while love is active.
The German army in World War II was like a group of beasts that completely released the dark side of human beings. They controlled life and death, and they did not care about the law or human nature. In a hospital in Poland, the German army was preparing to clean up all the patients. The doctors and nurses administered poison to the patients in advance. The series of shots was very slow, sweeping the nurse's gentle hand to help the patient, sweeping the patient's peaceful face , Sweeping the appearance of the German army rushing up to check whether each patient is dead, Sweeping the nurse and the doctor standing aside with firm eyes.
A beautiful children's chorus suddenly sounded as the background music. Along with the sound of gunfire, the Germans invaded every house in Poland, people fled everywhere, and those who rebelled died. In the factory, the old man crouched on his knees and waited for death. The women bit their fingers and smeared blood on their faces to make themselves look better and avoid being killed. When the women bathed in Auschwitz, they all remembered the story about poison gas and cried.
There were so many little shots like this that we were all numb. Life is endowed with completely different meanings under specific circumstances. Life in the war years seems to be dispensable, even if it is alive, at least life is low. People linger, not knowing what awaits them tomorrow. So from start to finish, even after the war was over and the surviving Jews were free, they didn't show a single smile. Because life never has a happy ending, it is just another slightly hopeful beginning, but life is as beautiful as ever, and it is more important than everything else.
Fischer, Josef, Paul, Olek, Maria, Chaim, Wulkan.
"I've smoked half of every cigarette you smoke," Stain told Schindler during the roster.
The last set of shots finally went from black and white to color, and Schindler's tombstone was filled with stones that Jewish descendants paid their highest
respect to.
In the play I particularly care about the character of Oman. He is a German officer, handsome and eccentric, but he falls in love with a Jewish girl, HELEN. When he said to the mirror: I pardon you, I suddenly felt that this handsome man in front of the mirror looked so pitiful. His status requires him to be involved in too many things, which is not his nature, but has become a natural product under the trend of the times. His heart must be full of pain, and in the basement he almost leaned in to kiss Helen when he suddenly cursed her for being a bitch and beat her hard. He told Schindler that he would not let Helen go to Auschwitz, that he would rather learn about her life himself. At that moment I saw the original appearance of love. And love is always more than just two people, war, race, the insurmountable gap, which reminds me of the final ending of the poor French woman and German soldier in Hiroshima Love. We look for a bright exit in the worst of times, not knowing that time has changed a thousand times on the way to find the exit. So in all the stories about war, we read cruelty, tragic, we pray for the arrival of peace, but when peace comes, we are suddenly dumbfounded, but doubt the authenticity of peace. However, even if I think so, I still insist that there is nothing better than life.
So when I watched this 4-hour movie, my mood was always in a state of conflict. I don't want to see people cheering when the war is over, and Spielberg got it right. In many cases he is the film's presenter rather than the creator. Three of them are linked together: Schindler kissing every girl at the banquet, Oman beating HELEN in the basement, and a small wedding for the Jewish people. Under the tragic and solemn background of the times, we must continue to live, and people's emotional weaknesses are exposed. I love the exposed feel.
I seem to be getting farther and farther away from the director's willingness to shoot, but that doesn't prevent me from admiring him.
"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire." This is a doctrine, and the value of life comes from it.
