The movie Schindler's List

Schindler's List shocked the world-this film deeply exposed the terrorist crime of German Nazi massacre of Jews, which premiered in Frankfurt, Germany on March 1994, and the German President personally attended the premiere of the film.

American President Bill Clinton was deeply impressed after seeing this film. He shouted at the press conference, "I urgently ask you to see this film."

The reason why Schindler's List has such a great influence and profound and painful artistic charm should be related to Spielberg's Jewish ancestry and the pain of discrimination experienced by Jews in his childhood. 17 members of his extended family from Ukraine were murdered in Nazi concentration camps in Poland; His deep-rooted gratitude to Schindler, the great benefactor of the Jews, is inseparable from a series of inescapable facts.

As early as 1982, Spielberg received the Australian novelist Thomas? The Schindler List written by Conjes, Spielberg, who never read the novel seriously, not only read the novel seriously, but also immediately made a decision to buy its adaptation rights and production rights. He realized that this was a subject he had been longing for for for a long time, but he knew that the time was not yet ripe. It was not until 10 years later, that is, in the spring of 1993, that some important people in the film industry advised him to give up the filming plan of this non-commercial film. A leader of his film company even suggested: "Instead of filming this film, it is better to donate money to the Holocaust Museum." This sentence angered Spielberg and made him determined to make this film at all costs. The film company finally gave in and had to let this "children" director, who has always been famous for shooting thrillers, horror films and science fiction films with a game mentality, realize his dream. For this film, Spielberg gave up his usual movie stunts for the first time, refused to invite Hollywood movie stars to star, and only invited a male Auschwitz concentration camp's love Zhao Lu. Lame and abrasions? Vulgar? Song province > camel? The film lasted 3 hours 15 minutes and cost 3 million dollars. The filming of this film is a brand-new experience for Spielberg. Suddenly, the floodgates of repressed emotions opened. He said: "What matters to me this time is not my imagination, but my conscience. Suddenly, I faced reality with a camera that used to escape from reality. I cried when I was filming, and I shed tears every day. "

For the convenience of work, Spielberg took his family to Poland, but after 14 hours of intense shooting every day, his relatives could not free him from his thoughts during the day. During the filming process, Spielberg forced to stop filming more than once because he couldn't control his feelings. When he gestured to the public, he felt like a Nazi-healthy on the right and sick on the left; His heart broke when he ordered women to shave their hair, strip off their clothes and trousers and drive them away like animals. He said, "This is the most terrible experience of my life." For several weeks, he didn't shake hands with the German actors in the crew or greet the actors in Nazi uniforms. He thought he lived in a Nazi concentration camp. Four months later, the film ended in Poland, and Spielberg finally showed a smile on his face. ..... After filming this film, Spielberg declined the film payment and decided to donate all his personal income to the American Holocaust Museum.

Schindler's List, with black-and-white photography as its main theme, is still a large-scale color production, with 126 characters and 30,000 extras. In Poland, in addition to 30 location stations, 40 sets of/kloc-0 have been built. More than 100 Jews participated in the work before and after this scene, which made them relive a bloody nightmare of Nazi terror. The plot of the film is choppy, the momentum is tragic, and the picture-a documentary with black-and-white photography as the main tone-shows the horror of the German Nazis' crazy extermination of Jews, which makes people cry. ……

Schindler's List has become the most striking film in the world, and its ideological seriousness and extraordinary artistic expression temperament have reached an almost insurmountable depth. Describe the embarrassment of Jews during World War II? Did you scrape the grave? Spring and deer? Sijia? Patrol (3)? Why don't you roll up the yarn and throw it out while it's hot? What's wrong with being angry? School? Do you like Lu Zhan? The international generation ⒉⑿⑿? Flash a magic? ⑿? Hey? ⑽ What about vinegar? Is this cave worth our adventure? Male shape?

Schindler saw a little girl in red walking through atrocities and massacres almost unscathed between the stormtroopers who were shooting wildly with sticks and the driven Jews when cleaning up the Jewish residential area in Krakow. This scene shocked Schindler. Spielberg regards this girl as a key figure in the transformation of the whole movie. In black and white photography, only the little girl used red. In Schindler's eyes, the little girl was the highlight of the whole black-and-white massacre scene-later, the girl appeared again-she was lying in a corpse truck and sent to the crematorium.

This picture has become a classic pen, and its profound connotation and artistic value far exceed that of ordinary film works. From the beginning of the film to the Nazi surrender, black and white photography was used to enhance the sense of reality and symbolize the dark ages of the Jews. Later, when the Nazis surrendered and the Jews walked out of the concentration camp, bright colors suddenly appeared on the screen, which made the audience feel that they had walked from darkness to sunshine and could appreciate the cheerful mood of the people in the play to lift the death threat.

The film's photography director zanussi? Nikolaus Stein von Kamienski has mastered the picture texture of black-and-white photography, which has a heavy flavor in the thick, especially in the poor areas of Poland, where the low walls, bricks and damp breath restore the true flavor of the times. Also by Irish movie star Eminem? Nathan plays Schindler, and Ben, who plays Gandhi and won an Oscar? Kingsley's strong cast as the Jewish Stern is also an indispensable factor for the success of this film.

It is difficult for a good movie to be as perfect as Schindler's List. It should be said that its existence is an eternity of the film. The Academy Awards are just its fading.
