Differences between Nanjing and Schindler's List

Nanjing Nanjing mentioned the story of a German who protected many China people in the German Concession in Nanjing, but he witnessed the massacre from the perspective of Japanese soldier Kakukawa. Through his description of the Nanjing Massacre, the director made us feel that having such a Japanese is not very hateful, but also a manifestation of human nature. As a Japanese soldier, he can't help killing people, but he has killed people himself, which makes his heart full of anxiety, and sometimes he can see the confusion as a soldier from his eyes. He liked Yuriko and knew that she came to China to meet the needs of the Japanese, but he didn't abandon her. On the contrary, he got some comfort from her. He watched Xiao Jiang be humiliated and finally died, and his heart may struggle even more. When he saw that Jiang had saved more people in China, he pretended not to know. When Jiang was dragged away, he looked him in the eye and told him to kill her. He was shot so that she could die with dignity. Finally, he released adzuki bean and Lao Zhao and told his companions that life is worse than death! In his opinion, the facts he saw were unbearable. As a man, he can't live without conscience. Looking at all this, his heart was more impulsive than the sea, bigger than the sea, and life was worse than death, so he shot himself. Japanese militarists should reflect.

Schindler's List is mainly about the tragedy of the massacre of Jews by German Nazi eagle dogs and SS during World War II. The seriousness of his thoughts and his extraordinary artistic expression have reached an almost insurmountable depth. There have been many movies about the mass slaughter of Jews during World War II, but this is the first real feature film about Germans awakening their conscience, risking their lives to resist the Nazis and save Jews. In the film, Schindler was not a hero at first. Why did he become a hero in the end? The film didn't answer-it just showed his behavior. Spielberg used a symbolic little effect foil:

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.

Zanussi Nikolaus Stein von Kamienski, the film's photography director, has mastered the picture texture of black-and-white photography, with a heavy flavor in it, especially in the poverty-stricken areas of Poland, where the low walls, bricks and damp atmosphere restore the true flavor of the times.

These two films are people's condemnation and introspection of fascist behavior, and deeply analyze how war dismembers human nature. Human dignity cannot be raped by war. Whether the war is won or lost, in the end, everyone is a victim. Will inevitably be tortured by the soul, because war is the first to destroy people.
