What is the historical background of Schindler's List?

April 14 12:42 The film begins, and Jews sit around the table and recite the true feelings, which is a traditional prayer ceremony. The flickering candlelight is gradually swallowed up by black as the chorus weakens. The film switches from color to black and white. Throughout the film, the sorrowful violin solo and almost unaccompanied mixed chorus still give strong and weak harmony without losing the form of hymns. The short jump of red highlights on a little girl's clothes still gives life color without forgetting to make a rainbow as an eternal promise of memories. On the horizon extended from the end of the film, the tone of the hymn spread out in a secular melody, and a group of people gathered around, and the picture decisively turned into bright colors, sweeping away all the light. "When I let the cloud cover the ground, a rainbow will appear in the cloud", which makes the world colorful.

Schindler is German. He used the war launched by the Germans to induce Jewish businessmen to invest, hire cheap Jews to work and produce military aluminum products suitable for war. Then he made a lot of money by taking advantage of his position at that time. After profiteering, he said to his wife; "I dare say that people here, they will not forget Schindler easily, they will say; Everyone in oskar schindler remembers him. He did outstanding things. He can do what others can't. He came here empty-handed and left with two suitcases, full of wealth in the world. "

1943, the tragedy of seed reduction in Jewish areas-a bloody day began. Countless Jews were driven out of their homes and lived on the streets. After a burst of gunfire, groups of Jews fell. At night, Jews who thought they were safe "walked out" from their hiding place, from under the floor, from under the bed and from the piano ... But before they breathed the calm air, gunshots rang out in their ears ... Blood oozed from the ceiling and flowed out from under the bed ... A German commander played Bach's music leisurely ... At that time, a German officer said to Schindler: "Today. Six hundred years ago, Jews settled in Kolaco. They are prosperous in business, science, education and art. They had nothing, but made a fortune. Six centuries later, the Jewish Kolaco was founded. By this evening, the history of six centuries has become a rumor. They never happened. Today is history. "

Wealth and eternity are the goals pursued by human individuals and groups, which will be remembered by the world and become history. Is wealth easily squandered? 1 Huan? Hire the emperor to send the emperor sad amaranth

When Germans leave Kolaco, Jews will be transferred to concentration camps. Schindler began to use the money earned in the war to buy off Jews who were destined to be sent to concentration camps: Zhuosner, Wien, Rosner, Fever Castle, Fisher, Xiafa, Wulanke, Holovitz ... Schindler List Save 165438+. In order not to arouse suspicion and close the factory, Schindler bought the arms produced by other factories as our products. He said: "I will be unhappy if our factory produces qualified arms." The war ended, the Germans failed, the workers gained freedom of life, Schindler went bankrupt, and had to flee because of the crime of "war criminals". Schindler List, as a value, lets the world measure its wealth. As a memory, Schindler's List reminds the world of its history.

The workers used their own gold teeth, the only thing left after the war, to cast a ring for Schindler, engraved with a Hebrew scripture in the Talmud: "Saving one life is equivalent to saving the whole world." As Jews, they think nothing can compare with saving the world. Saving the world can't save human beings in the abstract. They may treat every life as concretely as possible. Schindler choked and said, "I spent too much money ... I could have ... this car-ten lives ... this brooch-two lives ..." Because Schindler himself thought that he had not done enough, the Jew held his hand and comforted him and said, "You have done a lot." The mutual gratitude of giving and benefiting has made the history of redemption.

Jews have wandered around the world for generations and walked alone on the earth. They still keep their own language and their own whole. They are not easy to integrate into other people's society, because they can't identify their neighbors like people in other societies, and then clearly distinguish between love and hate. They can only use the fable of the kind Samaritan in the Bible to identify with their neighbors in their lives, and then hope to love their neighbors as themselves. Collective morality, social ideals, national interests and national liberation all define regions in order to become neighbors of others. Man is the home of freedom.

The shot of a simple typewriter typing orders is the main line of the whole film and the most boring. It is also the stubborn accent of this theme picture like lead stone and the soft voice of the background music stretching like wings that makes people dull and silent. Art is not a kind aesthetic introduction, nor a humanistic phenomenon of evolutionary beauty, but a formal expression of creative beauty. Schindler was honored as a "righteous man" by Jews, and the Jews on Schindler's list also called themselves "Schindler's Jews". This list became an unforgettable memory on Schindler's tombstone. Jews still read the list every year to mourn their compatriots who died in World War II. On some occasions, many people will take turns reading for several days. The list has become a tombstone that will not be forgotten in their memory.

"... this list is an open hand ..."

Today is history.

history

Today is history, a line from Schindler's List.

Goren, a German officer played by Ralph Fiennes, made a speech before leading the SS to sweep the Jewish neighborhood in Krakow. He repeated it several times with a thick nasal voice.

History is both familiar and unfamiliar to everyone. But does the painful past mean history? I should say yes or no, when we use the word pain to emphasize its harm, the past becomes a sense of history. Although Schindler's List shows us that past, it does not emphasize the pain of history. This kind of pain is our experience, not the film itself.

This history goes beyond the meaning of the background in the film, so there is no need to give an example that Germans or Jews neither criticize nor praise.

We hope it can be more perfect, just hope. Schindler's list aims to save lives!

Save someone's life.

"To save one person is to save the world!" This sounds the same as what we in China often hear: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda". The meaning of saving lives is not the act of saving lives, but the purification of the soul. He saved himself first.

As the hero of the story, Schindler's life is not fully unfolded in the film, but the most comprehensive and important part is seen under the magnifying glass of war. In that historical background, Schindler appeared as a businessman, and then he was a member of the Nazi Party. Of course, Thaksin does not believe that national socialism is not important. Importantly, at the cocktail party at the beginning of the film, he highlighted the style of a speculator. He has no feelings for Jews. When the historical opportunity came, he seized it keenly and made a fortune in the war. He cleverly squeezed the blood and sweat of Jews.

But on the day of "Today is history", Schindler happened to appear on the top of the mountain, indicating that the SS was not only committing atrocities against Jews, but also symbolizing all mankind, including the Germans themselves. The reason is so-called dialectical thinking. Schindler's trauma and his wife's panic proved this point well. At that moment, Schindler began to reinvent himself, that is, his heart was heaven and his mind was hell.

The symbol of life is the little girl in red running around with people. When Schindler met her, she found her soul. In those days, she still needed to be a person.

War is that thin red line, testing people and non-people. Why does religion believe in original sin and abstain from killing? If we only consider the digital divide between 6 million people and 1 100 people, we can actually understand Schindler's extraordinary existence, but does he need such moral weight? Does the film just show his meaning of "unprecedented, no one will come after"? Schindler's greatness in saving lives, is this history?

The Witness of Life-Schindler's List

Write down this topic, my mind is full of thoughts, but I don't know where to start. Not to mention the selection and shooting of the film, the dignity and profundity are enough to make people breathless. I saw my friends around me, their relaxed posture and smiling faces. I saw the blue sky, pink peach blossoms, new green branches and warm sunshine shining on me. I felt the heaviness in my heart, even the bitterness in my eyes, but I didn't have the courage to cry. I can't describe my insignificance in the pain of history in words. This drama exhausted all my confidence and strength, and even my vision was obliterated by the gray-black movie world. The disappearance of the only red color also stung my feelings. The voice of the Jews from the heart washed my soul, and the warmth of the piano relative to the violin gave me the power to think.

Staring at the computer, the words don't move. This heavy feeling makes my heart and head ache, which is unbearable for life!

Schindler, a German with a keen sense of war, believes that the failure in the past is not his own, but because of the lack of an element, that is, war. So it's heavy. Those literal killings, between life and death. You can't imagine tomorrow or even the next second. For Jews, living may only mean fear, thinking about death that will come at any time in the next second. "A moment's life is life after all." Life and death may be completely meaningless here. Thin body in the cesspit, confused eyes; In front of the burning corpse mountain, the German soldiers shouted in horror; The scooter that cleaned the corpse pushed away the unique color of the whole play. Is this a war or a sin of human nature?

Gunshots flew into the sky, blood flowed, German soldiers played Bach leisurely ... The officer said, "Jewish Kolaco has been formed for six centuries. By this evening, the history of six centuries has become a rumor. They never happened. Today is history. "

Wealth and eternity are the goals pursued by human individuals and groups, which will be remembered by the world and become history. Wealth changes hands, history is often rewritten, can wealth replace the value of life, and can history erase the memory of existence? Is it a conscience discovery or a belief occurrence? Discovery is as important as occurrence, otherwise, without discovery, the starting point of life will not reach the goal of life, without occurrence, the goal of life will violate the starting point of life. What happened gives people evidence, and what was found gives people witness. Schindler began to think about the value in the killing game. If there are survivors in today's war, what will he witness?

Rough typewriters are not boring, but their voices are firmer than gunshots. Two kinds of dullness give you thousands of words of missing. Schindler and the old man's back were full of justice and warmth in the dim light beam, which touched the hardest position in my heart.

That paper list witnessed the eternity of life, and that ring shone with burning purpose in the long river of history. Saving one life means saving the whole world. How many lives? Schindler, who was buried in Jerusalem, bought eternity with his wealth and became a memory that will never be forgotten. This is the witness of life!

Salute!

1 2005 is the 60th anniversary of the victory of the anti-fascist war.

Commemorating history is not for nostalgia, but to prevent history from repeating itself.

This is a responsibility that cannot be evaded.

One by one, original, reposted, incomplete information, free to add.

The fable is unique in that the sword it uses to criticize is a double-edged sword, one pointing to the other and the other to itself. There must be something like magma spewing behind self-mockery and stealing. ...

Comment on Schindler's List

1993, the famous American director Steven Allan Spielberg led the film crew of Schindler's List to Poland for the first time. Just as they were preparing to camp in Krakow during World War II, they suddenly received an urgent telegram from the National Jewish Association of new york: "Don't disturb the dead, let them rest in peace." Spielberg read this message and said nothing. He immediately ordered the film crew to evacuate the Krakow concentration camp and move to a place dozens of kilometers away to set up the shooting set. At the same time, he left the film crew alone and flew directly to new york. Spielberg crossed the Atlantic Ocean and went to new york to apologize to the Jewish Association without sending a representative or using modern communication tools such as telephone, telegraph and telex. His humility and sincerity touched all the members of the Jewish Association. No wonder international film critics later praised Schindler's List as "a humanitarian film made by a director".

Schindler's List shocked the world-this film deeply exposed the terrorist crime of German Nazi massacre of Jews, 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 Schindler List written by Australian novelist Thomas Corneiles from his producer. Spielberg, who never read the novel seriously, not only read the novel seriously, but also decided to buy its adaptation and production rights immediately. 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 stars to play, and only invited a survivor of Auschwitz as an assistant director and a Jew rescued by Schindler as a film consultant. In this case, he only spent $23 million to make this three-hour 15-minute film. 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. 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, which has a heavy flavor in the heaviness, especially in the poor areas of Poland, where the low walls, bricks and humid atmosphere restore the true flavor of the times.

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 a faded foil.
