War has winners and losers, and human nature has good and evil

2019SIFF is the third time I have watched this film. Every time I watch it, it is difficult for me to calm down for a long time, and every time I have a different feeling. The first time I lamented the cruelty of war, the second time I hated racial discrimination, and the third time I lamented the evil and goodness of human nature. No one is born to be evil, it may be war, which exposes the darkest side of human nature, and on the opposite side of extreme evil, kindness also blooms with her dazzling brilliance.

As a German businessman, Schindler's original intention was to hire cheap Jewish labor to make a fortune in war. When he saw the cruel and dehumanizing side of war, he began to make a different choice, and this choice It is good, and the corresponding good choice has also changed the fate of many people. Sitting on wealth, accompanied by beautiful women, and witnessing the hell on earth under the hillside, only the little girl jumped and jumped in bright red, which was in stark contrast to the black and white war slaughter scene, but it made people feel more inside. Heavy... In the end, that smear of red and all the black and white corpses were also sent to the incineration heap. War has always brought despair to people, and the kindness of human nature may not change everything, but what can be changed between doing and not doing is. is a lot. He finally chose to use his own money in exchange for the list of lives, even if he did not have the ability to save everyone, but as written on the ring that the Jews sent him off at the final farewell: whoever saves one life, saves the world entire (when you save When one life is saved, the whole world is saved), the brilliance of Schindler's humanity illuminates the hope of a nation's future.

As for the villain in the movie, General Amon, you can say that he is brutal and kills recklessly, but in the movie, he shows his true feelings after drinking, and he also remembers Schindler's words in his heart: The right is that we have enough reasons to kill and kill. Don't do it, killing at will is never a sign of right, but forgiveness is. He may have a good side in his heart, because he tried to forgive his Jewish servants, and he also loved the Jewish girl, but the war has magnified the evil side of his human nature infinitely, because the war wantonly provokes those who oppose the right People without self-control devour the good in these people until they lose their humanity and become servants of the devil...

War has winners and losers, and human nature has good and evil. War is a turning point between good and evil in human nature. Destruction and hope are both good and evil choices.
