"Schindler's List" Stills On March 14, 1994, "Schindler's List" won seven awards at the 66th Academy Awards. The film was produced by Universal Pictures in 1993 and was written by Steven Chelian; directed by Steven Spielberg; starring: Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Embeth Davids. Based on a 1982 biography of the same name by Australian author Thomas Connelly, the film won seven awards at the 1994 66th Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Original Music. In September 1939, after German troops occupied Warsaw, the capital of Poland, all Jews in Poland were deported to each designated city. In Krakow, Poland, tens of thousands of Jews gathered from all over the country every day to be registered, classified and deported by the Nazis. Oscar Schindler, a German entrepreneur who had close contacts with senior German officers and politicians, came here, took over an enamel factory, and found the Jewish manager Isaac Stern, persuaded him to go to the local Jewish merchants and proceeds raised, so that the factory produced the cooking utensils that the military urgently needed, and made a war fortune. Under Schindler's running around and dredging of various parties, the sign of "German Tableware Factory" finally hung up. When Stern recruited workers, he took the opportunity to recruit many elderly Jews who were about to be sent to the "extermination camp" into the factory. At this time, the German war against the Soviet Union had broken out in full swing, and enamel supplies were urgently needed ahead. Orders flew like snowflakes; Schindler's factory was very prosperous as soon as it started. In the winter of 1942, the newly appointed SS commander Amon Gert arrived in Krakow and forced more than 30,000 laborers to build the Prasov labor camp. On March 13, 1943, under Gert's command, the SS carried out a horrific massacre in the ghetto and drove some of the surviving Jews into the Prasov labor camp; those with less physical strength were driven on stuffed trains to the gas chambers and crematoria of Auschwitz. Schindler witnessed this tragic scene and was shocked by the barbarism of the Nazis. At the same time, he was worried about the empty factory. He persuaded Gert to use his factory as an affiliated labor camp, and spent a lot of money buying gifts for Gert and his superiors to open the joints and "buy" the lives of Jews from them. But he still couldn't stop Gert from killing people at will for no reason. In April 1944, Gert received another order to gather all the Jews in Auschwitz. Schindler, once again shocked by the brutal crimes of the fascists, developed a huge rescue plan. He made a list of "essential" workers with Stern, the accountant-general, and made a deal with Gert for the transfer of 1,100 Jewish workers to a new factory on the Czechoslovak border. Despite the risk of losing money, he announced that he would not produce any useful products for the German army for seven months. At the same time, he spent millions of marks to buy shells produced by others, bribe various key departments, and support his workers. Soon, the news of Germany's unconditional surrender finally came on the radio. Schindler was penniless and doomed to bankruptcy. In the workshop, he told everyone that he was a Nazi, an arms manufacturer, and a war criminal. "You will be free, and I must run for my life." All the Jews gathered to see him off. With trembling hands, Schindler took from an old Jewish man a letter signed by all the workers and a ring engraved in Hebrew with the words "If you save a life, you save the world," and choked up: "I could have taken more people out of Krakow, but I wasted too much to do it..." In 1974, Schindler, frustrated and lonely in the mall, died suddenly in Frankfurt. His coffin was buried in Jerusalem, a Jewish holy site, escorted by the Jews he had saved that year. The film adopts the production method of black and white film and the creative style of documentary film, so that the narrative of the film has a strong sense of historical reality; in terms of expression techniques, the film fully mobilizes the performance function of film comprehensive art in music and color, so that the artistic personality of the film is very prominent, and the style is dignified and delicate. In terms of music, the film emphasizes to move the audience's feelings through objective narration, and in the relationship between music and picture content, it emphasizes an inner implicit emotional tension; in the use of color, gray and dull cold colors are used as the base tone, occasionally supplemented by color (the little girl's red dress and the end of the color film), which makes the film produce a strong visual tension and psychological impact. Steven Spielberg, the director of this film, was born into a Jewish family. As a young man, he felt ashamed of it. And deep in his heart, some of his relatives died in the Holocaust of German fascism. It is this "Jewish complex" that made him the first full-length drama of Hausanwood to describe the fascist genocide in the style of more than three hours of film and black and white documentaries. Since his first film, "Duel," in 1971, Spielberg has directed 14 films, including "Jaws," "Alien," "The Color Purple," "Empire of the Sun," "Jurassic Park" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," all of which have received Oscar nominations and various awards, but only this film won him the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director for the first time. "Schindler's List" not only broadened Spielberg's directorial path, but also made people see his historical responsibility and artistic conscience as a film director, as well as his extraordinary ability to master the language of film. After the film was released, the international film critics praised the film as "a humanitarian film made by a director full of humanitarian spirit," which was a higher reward for him.
