In the passage of the Nazi massacre of Jews, when Schindler straddled a horse and overlooked the German army slaughtering Jews frantically, the motion sound in the picture made the audience tremble. Massacre of Jews, large numbers of Jews are driven into cars like unresisted, gentle animals, or they are shot mercilessly on the spot by Nazi soldiers, their property is looted by the Nazis, gunshots and Jews are heard everywhere outside the screen. screams, the whole city is like purgatory on earth. Just at this moment, a group of tender children's chorus suddenly sounded in the film, as clean and thorough as the sound of nature, such a pure and beautiful singing lingering in the bloody and cruel reality of crying and machine gun sweeping, and produced through the music of the children's chorus. The strong contrast between the world and the world drives the emotions of the audience, pushes the emotions of the film to a climax, and shocks our hearts at the same time. Here, through the contrast of sound and picture, the music and the picture have a very different emotional contrast, and the difference produces a shocking artistic effect. Of course, the use of active music in this passage is also a classic. When Nazi soldiers arrested and slaughtered Jews in a Jewish colony, a Nazi officer played one of Bach's 48 pieces of Bach's "Ping Junli Piano Collection" on the piano in the searched Jewish room. The first fugue. The two German soldiers outside the door actually stood at the door talking, "Master, Bach? He only talks about Bach." "I said Mozart." Video footage is everywhere, and the hoarse screams of unarmed and defenseless Jews are like razor-sharp blades that gouge our hearts. Expose the dehumanizing brutality of the Nazis through lighthearted active music.
Since we are talking about active music, in a paragraph that appears later, when the Nazis in Germany wanted to make a strict distinction between being able to work and only being sent to the incinerator, Jewish men, women and children, naked and naked, lined up to pass in front of the Nazi doctor, They were selected like animals sent to the slaughterhouse. It was extremely interesting that the Nazi officers played a relaxing waltz. The waltz was mixed with the reluctance of the Jewish relatives to part and die, giving the audience a strong feeling. The audience seemed to I can hear the heartfelt voice of the Jews - don't go, please, give us back our loved ones. The German Nazis, on the other hand, had a happy smile on their faces, looking at everything with ease following the rhythm of the waltz.
In the scene of Schindler's birthday party, on the one hand, Schindler happily celebrated with the partygoers, and on the other hand, the Nazi officers beat the servants. The use of scene music and parallel montages made it not abrupt to intersperse what happened in different places. . The sound of smashing the light bulb, the Nazi officer slapped the maid over there; Schindler and different female friendly kisses, the Nazi officer punched the maid. In the end, the music played again at the dance, and the combination of the two complemented each other perfectly.
In a scene in which Schindler and the German officers are in a relationship, from Schindler walking out of the hotel to the hot fight with the German soldiers, the background music slowly changes from low to high, which can suggest the atmosphere of toasting at the banquet. The music stopped abruptly when the name "Oscar Schindler" was called out. In the film, when Schindler was socializing with German officers, drinking and singing "MTMATSCHI" and "GOD BLESS THE CHILD", Schindler's unique communication skills were all shown. And when Schindler was bribing German officers, a group of Jews in Schindler's factory floor lit two candles and began to bow their heads and sing prayers. The appearance of the prayer song seems to echo the title of the film, conveying a certain emotion in the film. They were worried about where they would go in the days to come. The candles flickered, and the empty space reverberated with sincere prayer songs, which also made the audience feel pity for them and hope for freedom and peace. In the whole film, the creators spend a lot of space to describe the brutal massacre of the Jews by the Nazis, leaving lingering traces of depression and terror in people's minds. The quiet prayers here are also cruel to the Nazis. a reflection. The handling of the deaths of several characters in "Schindler's List" is also unique. The one-armed old man, the female engineer, the little boy, and the only colored little girl in the whole film, their lives are vulnerable like kites in the wind, like ants on the ground, and they were arbitrarily executed by the German Nazis. At that time, the audience's psychology suddenly twitched, and at the same time, they sympathized with the lives of Jews and hated the German Nazis who arbitrarily executed Jews. It shocked us more than the Holocaust scenes.
"Schindler's List" the film's very moving theme music expresses the theme of opposing violence and loving peace. Its melody is like weeping, like the suffering of the Jewish nation, like a cry for peace, and at the end of the film, the theme is fully played. In Perlman's moving violin, those Schindler The Jews who once rescued walked hand in hand. They once suffered in hell. Even in hell, they saw the brilliance of Schindler's bravery, like a beacon, illuminating the foot and the front.
"War, war reveals the ugliest parts of human beings." This is what Schindler said. We don't need any war, war equals casualties. The theme music for the film "Schindler's List" slowly hovers, and the film ends here.
