In this way, he sat silently in front of the black and white screen for more than three hours, but it was like being squeezed by someone's chest. Apart from witnessing and crying, he couldn't make any sound.
I've always rejected films that depict war because I can't avoid the killing scenes. I can accept some kind of killing, but when the number of killings exceeds a certain amount, and there is no reason for it, that's killing. Yes, there is no need for a reason to kill.
That "I bet this guy won't die" kind of confidence would never be present in a film like this. All Jewish life is like a ticking time bomb, and those who survive just hit a broken wire. War is a way for people to avoid legal punishment even if they kill many people. Killing on the battlefield became a way of showing courage. At the same time, it also allows people to enjoy the pleasure and satisfaction of a kind of driving that has never been seen before. You can even control other people's lives, what else can't you do?
Sympathy is also completely unnecessary, you see those who survived, just because they can still be used, "poor" will point to death. So, when you see Goethe standing on his balcony, casually looking for a resting Jew is a shot, without any emotion at all, like throwing away a broken part. He was satisfied watching their bodies toppling and the air around them accelerating instantly. This shot is disgusting.
I can't tell how I watched this movie in such a hurry that the pain of waiting for death is more terrifying than the actual death. Obviously they are all alive, but they are suddenly sentenced to death by a mad nationalist and war madman. Humans are trampled by their fellow men also called human beings. Murderers, please tell me, why did they die?
I thought that Schindler was trying to save the Jews from the very beginning, and all those money interests were his tricks to hide from the sky, but I realized later that he really made up his mind to save lives after seeing the Germans' killing of Jews. . So, you can imagine how ignorant and indifferent even the Germans were about this war, except for the nationalist sentiments instigated by Hitler, and how weak their understanding of human nature and the true intentions of the war was. It turned out that it was so easy for you to pick up a knife and stab the innocent humans around you. I can't help but think of Hannah in "Life and Death", as an ordinary German, she dutifully fulfilled all the duties and responsibilities of a hired person in World War II - so, even if there are hundreds of people Life was trapped in the fire, and she couldn't open that door, otherwise, she would be disloyal to her profession. She is not thinking about life, but her work. From any point of view, I was stunned.
Human nature often needs to be seen in extreme environments to see authenticity. War has provided such a place very well. So, those cruel, ignorant, resentful, twisted, perverted, and weak. . All exposed to blood-strewn ground and scarred hearts. We can no longer imagine the meanness of the murderer and the fear of the murdered - with our dull hearts living in comfort.
There are too many heinous scenes in the movie, such as the one-armed old man who was thanking Schindler for giving him a job the day before, and was shot and killed by the smiling German army the next day, his blood soaked in the white snow; In that large-scale massacre, the sound of gunfire and the flash of shooting could not rest all night, and the rapid piano sound accompanied by the gunshot seemed to put on a "gorgeous" performance; the German troops who entered the hospital were shooting at the beds one by one. The German army used a stethoscope to check if there were still people alive; the ashes of the burned corpses actually left a thick layer on the car body, and the officers supervising the burning were only discussing the smell; the red symbol of life was pushed into piles In the corpse, eye-catching, dazzling. . . . . Death is intertwined, and the director uses a very ironic way to describe an unprecedented carnage.
Sadly, there is also the "kindness" of the Jews in the beginning. When they were discussing the gas chambers in the carriage, most of them had an attitude of disbelief. They did not think about the cruelty of the Germans, nor how tragic the fate of the future would be, their kindness towards war and humanity. The fantasy also makes their vitality diminish a little bit.
In the end, it was Schindler who used his savings to complete a great list. The lives of more than 800 people. When Stan held the list and said, "The list is life..", I was already in tears. He devoted all his wealth to save the lives of those his motherland was slaughtering, and what he held tightly was a person's awakened conscience and kindness.
This massacre is the annihilation of humanity.
It is the sublimation of human nature.
