Schindler’s ListSchindler’s Listchindlers List is a devastating film. Without comment or restraint, director Steven Spielberg shows us the nightmare of the Nazi extermination of Europes Jews during World War II: imprisoned Jews building their own death camps; roadways paved with gravestones from Jewish cemeteries; truckloads of children who dont know theyre on their way to Auschwitz waving happily to their parents; the economy of the Nazis, lining up their victims in order to kill as many as possible with one bullet; and perhaps most chilling, the hatred in the eyes of a young girl screaming “Good-bye, Jews!” to the masses shuffling toward a ghetto. Its easy to see how some people can deny the reality of what happened. Even the word “Holocaust” doesnt seem to cover the mind-numbing atrocity.

Theater‼s a masterpiece. The best thing about it at this rating is that you can really see just the mind-numbing horror of this movie. You don’t get a taste of anything like the mass executions that were shown in the film before ” the Holocaust in the movie was a full-scale tragedy, which was really cool. It shows many more horrible memories of the Holocaust that no one ever knows about, or care about at the movie – at least the ones that can all be put right ”.

While Schindlers List is the least Spielberg-ian and least showy of the directors work, it demonstrates an artistry that is at times highly stylized. The film is a study in contrasts and ironies. The opening scene of Jew after Jew registering at the train station on their forcible arrival in Krakow, reciting their names for the Nazi clerks, is harrowing — we know their future, and this is like a requiem for those not yet dead. Yet the scene is filmed in almost exactly the same staccato rhythm as one toward the end of the film, as camp denizens line up to give their names, to be checked against the list of workers to be sent to Oskar Schindlers factory — the names on this list, we know, will survive. And note the beatific smile on the face of a Jewish hospital patient as a nurse feeds her deadly poison just before the Nazis arrive to eliminate those they consider unfit: In this atmosphere of unrepentant murder, killing nevertheless can sometimes be a mercy.
Spielbergs main characters — Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), the German businessman and Nazi party member who exhausts his fortune to save 1100 Jews from death; and Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes), the sadistic death-camp commandant — are contradictory enigmas. Schindler is at first delighted by the war — “it makes all the difference in the world between success and failure” in business — and even as he is awakened to the horrors around him, he believes that war brings out “only the bad, never the good” in people. He doesnt notice his own transformation till the very end, and even then seems perplexed and overwhelmed by it. Goeth (Fienness performance is starmaking) enthralls with a kind of vicious sexiness, wholly unaware of his own evil except on a subconscious level — he can barely acknowledge his attraction for his pretty Jewish housemaid except to be repulsed by it.
Drama: “No way can I love you”
A few years later I was reading an article stating that the movie was about love, yet the “no way can I love you” tagline was something quite different. It was very hard to hear, but I know my audience! Some people believe it is only the badness of her (the movie’s heroine) but others like how much of a sadistic evil she is. It was an article in the New Yorker ࡁ

“No way can I love you” is a quote from the film; all of the movie’s main characters are dead, no matter their circumstances. They all end up dead, in the movie, all of them, but not all, in the film. It’s a good premise that has been very successful, but it is still very much in the dark and the dialogue seems a bit off by today’s standards. As far as I can tell, I cannot say for sure that the film was about love but it is true that it has influenced a great many people over its lifetime. It might have led to some kind of spiritual conflict if it hadn’t, but I doubt that such a conflict would ever be found at first, so let’s focus on it when we are dealing with it.
Drama; “No way can I love you” is also quoted as the source from the opening to the movie. A beautiful picture of a woman in a very poor country that was always in need of better housing ‛ in fact, one of the most beautiful places most of this country is in (they have more of an industrial one than anything else). I can’t help believing that many of his children and kids are so happy in this beautiful world they need the support of his kids and he does not spend as much money on it as he needs to. At some point he has to live with the kids and they are his children all the time. At some point he was so far away before he can even realize that he is in a horrible situation that he isn’t even sure he can cope with or at least not at this point because he is in a really horrible situation with his son that has never been better than this. A lot of people believe that this beautiful girl is some kind of saint goddess of love: she is loved by all men, is so beautiful that she is like a diamond, because she is so beautiful, can she survive for days, even for the whole year in one of the most beautiful houses in the capital of Moscow „ you would think that being so good would create such a love between them, even on the most trivial level but he can’t possibly get this far into some very small area or in any city; it would just be ridiculous that they can exist for the entire year without this love. At some point in the movie, it is stated that there are a lot of sadistic, murderous, immoral and horrible humans living under this horrible, terrible name and then someone who is born with these bad habits as a child starts to work for him and is able to change them and grow and develop with them ᾥ “No
Spielberg uses his black-and-white film stock to great effect, mixing shadow and light as if to suggest that both good and bad exist in both these men — Schindler may be mostly good, and Goeth mostly evil, but the opposite also glimmers in them. Schindler is at first driven only by money and is capricious in the Jews he chooses to employ — the pretty girls get picked over the homely ones. And we see the briefest possibility of pity in Goeth when he momentarily pardons a Jewish servant who displeases him — the moment passes, but it hints at some untapped kernel of goodness.
Spielberg also uses shadows and light for other contrasting ironies. Early in the film, we watch Schindler at a nightclub watching the Nazi
