Make a comeback 490 black and white ‘color’ color

Roger Ebert’s full score praise clearly opened up a start that could not be better for the first round of reviews of "Schindler’s List". The full score score and full-star recommendation are the highest scores Roger has given to a movie. Praise, this is also the highest praise any film critic can give to a movie.

The firepower of the "Chicago Sun" was so fierce that it exceeded everyone's expectations. Originally, everyone was still worried about whether Steven Spielberg could grasp the scale of such a heavy subject as the World War II massacre, but now it seems that, Steven has not only completed his own work, but also has always been extraordinarily "sexy" work, which also makes "Spielberg + historical heavy subjects" burst out with a powerful effect that is greater than two.

The subsequent reviews by "Variety" magazine also continued Roger's views on the film. Although the 95-point rating is not a perfect score, it is not far from it. The "Variety" has always been known for its rigorous, serious and professional "The magazine, being able to give such a high evaluation, is obviously the best response to Roger.

"This is a film that deeply exposes the terrible crimes of the German Nazi slaughter of Jews. There is no doubt that it is also a film worth watching and remembering.

It is precisely because Spielberg has Jewish blood on his body and personally experienced the pain of discrimination against Jews in his childhood; 17 members of the Ukrainian family from which his family's surname originated were killed in concentration camps; his Deep down in my heart, I have a pious and grateful mentality for Schindler, the great benefactor of the Jews. This series of facts close to my heart has made this successful film a long time ago.

This film is Spielberg’s review of the tragedy of the massacre of 6 million Jews in Germany at the age of World War II. The film tells the story of Oscar Schindler’s greatness with a pessimistic and gloomy tone and a calm but full of tension. The experience, returning to Krakow during World War II, showed people the whole process of the destruction of this city, and at the same time tried to find the glimmer of human **** in the era when human **** was annihilated.

Spielberg did not deal with this story with a historical hatred or a critical eye. He did not want to examine that period of history with his eyes with the color of "private" people. He just told the story of an ordinary person in war. The story of the moral challenge in the era, so as to examine the impact of this incident on the parties, the entire era, and future generations. Finally, turn this influence into a reflection in your mind, comfort the dead soul, alert the surviving living, and inform others who have never experienced it.

Anyone who saves a life saves the whole world. Whenever you save a life, you save yourself.

What the movie shows is a world that seems extremely absurd in peaceful times. Those Germans regard the slaughter of Jews as a natural and normal job. There is such a plot in the movie, a one-armed old man He was trying to shovel snow, but he was caught by the SS. After asking a few casual questions, he was shot and killed. The other soldiers around were talking and laughing with hot tea. The old man's "colorless" blood made Bai Xue become filthy.

The more you kill, the more tragedy. It has never been calculated like this, but the indifference in the killing process, as if all this is taken for granted, this kind of contempt for life is a tragedy. Plots similar to the one-armed old man are everywhere in the movie. We can often see people next to them chatting, and the Jews two steps away are suffering-even losing their lives.

Before his death, the one-armed old man kept chanting: I am an important worker. His trembling voice is full of strong desire for survival, and he longs to live. Although there are many unsatisfactory and unfair vitality, he is eager to live no matter what. However, this kind of desire was serious but meaningless to those soldiers. They simply ended the old man's life. Everything seemed to be a game.

Such a game has created the greatness of "Schindler's List". Schindler is the strong player in this game, but he has gradually changed his mentality during the game. In the end, he is tortured. The pain of the'physical' body is never comparable to the tearing of the'spirit'. , We can’t imagine the psychological struggle Schindler experienced, because we are not Schindler, we are not Schindler at that moment in that era, and our speculation is just an “interpretation” of Schindler, and this interpretation It is not told in the movie, which is precisely the success of the movie.

In the end, Schindler used his life's dream of becoming a billionaire in exchange for Jewish life. Dreams are priceless, and life is priceless. Therefore, Schindler succeeded. He saved this group of innocent lives and made his life find meaning.

This is a movie where the details decide everything. All the details have become a supplement to the theme of the movie. It is like a jigsaw puzzle to piece together this outstanding movie.

The first piece of the puzzle is the balcony, the balcony of the Nazi officer A'mon-Goss' house. There are many pictures that appear with this balcony as the background. The most impressive one is naturally the picture of Goss, who performed Hugo Lancaster's extraordinary performance, standing shirtless on the balcony in the morning, leisurely aiming at the prey of the concentration camp below.

Goss "smoke" while stretching his waist, like aiming at a hare in a hunting ground, or like aiming at a target in the hitting ground, "precisely" and calmly pull the trigger. , And then harvest one life after another. After he is finished, he will "bed". With the chat, go to the bathroom to solve the physiological needs, everything is as if he just finished the morning exercise.

This picture is so lifelike, yet so real and cruel.

In addition, countless hours also happened on this balcony, the moments when they were partying and drinking, when Goss was lazily undergoing a medical examination, when Goss was sleeping, and when he hugged the'woman', Schindler and Goss were late at night. At the moment of conversation, this balcony is like a piece of paradise, with all the beautiful and simple moments in life happening. But the irony is that just separated by a balcony is another world, where people are treated as a kind of plaything, their lives and self-esteem no longer exist, just part of the game.

So sad.

The second piece of the puzzle is "color" color, which is also the strongest and most direct part of the movie

At the beginning of the movie, there are candles lit in the dark, and the faint light of the fire struggles and burns in the surrounding dark space. Accompanied by carols, the soft yellow'color' flames circle around light blue. The halo, dispelling the surrounding darkness, symbolizes that the Jews yearn for a little space, trying to illuminate the whole world, and then extinguished, turning into a plume of smoke. Then, where the ashes disappeared, the roaring siren of the train dragged the long tail smoke, dragging this tragic era into our sight.

To reproduce that period of history, there is no need for "color" and color, because it was a cold time. The "sex" of that kind of deformed person does not have "color" and color at all. It only needs black and white, calmness, darkness and heavyness. The black-and-white color can better explain that era than any kind of'color' color. But even so, Spielberg still points out a touch of red'color', that little red'color' figure is the only'color' color in the black and white era, this little girl in red, It's like a bunch of wild'flowers' that grows hard and stubbornly in the hard land of suffering, cute and beautiful, floating'swing' in the wind, but in the end it was overwhelmed by the entire bleak years, and the only touch of redness The'color' was also swallowed completely.

This also makes the seriousness of film thought and extraordinary artistic expression reach a rare depth.

At the end of the story, the Jewish nation finally ushered in their dawn, a dark era finally ended, and the surviving Jews walked on the distant horizon. People also breathed out in depression. They came from the darkness, as if from night to dawn, step by step to the dawn, the sky slowly turned blue, first dark blue, then light blue, and finally bright. 'The blue sky, the Jews finally walked under the bright blue sky.

From ‘color’ color to black and white to ‘color’ color, the movie’s use of ‘color’ color symbolizes the transformation of mood, simple but profoundly integrated into the whole story, sliding into the bottom of my heart, with an unparalleled effect.

The last piece of the puzzle is the soundtrack, which can be said to be the most important but the most overlooked part of the movie.

John Williams, who may be the most famous soundtrack in film history, has once again dedicated a classic to us after winning four Oscar statuettes and numerous nominations. It can be said that this film adapted Williams’ creation and formed a new peak; it can also be said that Williams’ outstanding soundtrack has deepened the theme of the film. But no matter how you evaluate it, the soundtrack of this movie is an indispensable part. It is a perfect work that is connected by flesh and blood, and is true and forward-looking!

He used the sorrow of the viola to make people repent of the sins of those years; he used the sharp and piercing violin to tell the grief and desolation of that period of history; he used the grand piano to contrast the cruelty and cold blood of the unbridled massacre; he also used it The choir sings nursery rhymes to feel the grief and redemption in the heart... That deep pain quietly tells the pain and sorrow in the heart.

The poster of the movie is an adult’s hand grabbing a small hand in a red shirt. That hand is so impactful but weak. In that crazy age, there are a few sober people after all, just like a movie. The soundtrack here is generally ~www.readwn.com~ The slow-in and slow-out background and the very skillful'sexual' rhythm are constantly describing and describing the pictures, the numb eyes, the numb movements and the final numbness I have to be taken away by the last breath of gas.

Life is no longer noble and mysterious. Stripped of clothing, stripped of the last hypocritical mask of compassion for mankind, and silently'feeling' in front of six million corpses, just like the cappella of the young'girls' in the choir, without feelings. , Even apart from the sound, I can't feel any alive breath. The sound of the piano is like resentment and admiration, and weeping like complaints. The sad melody seems to be telling the tragic fate of the Jews, but after listening carefully, there are some bright colors and hopes in the smooth melody, just like the beginning of the movie. A ray of candlelight.

At the end of the movie, the piano solo quietly pulled down the curtain, all the stories dissipated in time, no one had the heart to be born to interrupt the oppressive and empty piano sound, so the violin came quietly again, and came to sublimate this song again. Poems of blood and tears. The color of the ‘color’ that disappeared in the darkness turned into a note and remained in everyone’s heart.

Spielberg used the simplest lens, the simplest ‘color’ color, and the simplest technique to tell us the most colorful story. "
