Schindler's List ( 1993 ) Movie Review
Stoneeman.com - Who doesn't know Schindler's List 1993, This is a
historical war movie for the world, moreover, the war is very heartbreaking if
remembered for the American camp. Because the storytelling conveys the
atrocities committed by humans in the 2nd world global war Precisely tells the
story of Nazi ( German ) atrocities Against Jews ( American citizenship ).
This Schindle's List movie is one of the works of a well-known veteran senior
director, moreover, his name has received a lot of awards and moreover he is the
Co-Founder of Dreamworks Studio, he is Steven Alan Spielberg. There have been a lot of movies
made by him that have received many awards, especially Schindler's List is one
of his works that has received awards and rankings on the Greatest Films Ever Made list.
Schindler's List is apparently the result of an
adaptation of a novel written by Thomas Keneally with the title Schindler's Ark
which was released in 1982, No wonder the film Epic is apparently the result of
an adaptation of a historical novel that is also epic in terms of writing a
realist narrative, this novel can be categorized as a Biographical novel
because it raises and tells one of the famous German characters, namely Oskar
Schindler.
Of the many films about atrocities committed by the Nazis (Germans) such as Playing For Time ( 1980 ) By Daniel Mann, Life Is Beatiful ( 1997 ), The Pianist ( 2002 ), The Diary Of Anne Frank ( 1959 )
And many more, it turns out that
Schindler's List was put in the first row of the Best Holocaust Movie award
list. Why can it be put in the first row? Perhaps because the storytelling is
very heartbreaking and the depiction of the situation is made to resemble the
same as the events of world war 2 and raises the name of a character, Oskar
Schindler as his heroic main character and also perhaps because of his visual
depiction made in Black and White as a sign that this film is one of the Dark
Drama-historical Movies.
Schindler's List itself is honestly not just an ordinary historical drama
film worked on by Steven Spielberg, Because in the delivery of the story in his
film there are many meanings and subjects that are too broad accompanied by a
tragic disaster for the Jews, From the narrative scheme created by Steven it
seems that he made a storyline that can be digested very well, In his method, he not only focused the
storyline of this movie on the Holocaust, but Steven combined and made the
storyline in this film really very detailed and we as an audience can easily
understand the elements of humanity, the advantages that can be taken when war
occurs (Profit of War),
Tragedy of humanity that takes place, Mental disorders accompanied by
psychology experienced when the war lasts,
and many more visualized by Steven for us to watch in his film.
Apart from that, the film with the main actor who played
Oskar Schindler's
in this film is Liam Neeson ( Oskar ) who has
received many award certificates for his achievements in competing in the film
world, Who does not know him he is a famous senior actor who is still in demand
today.
Talking about Oskar Schindler's character in this movie
is as honest as he is a short-sighted person and is someone who took advantage
of the opportunity while the second world war was going on, He was a german who
used war as a substance to gain an advantage. He opened an industrial factory
when all the jews in Poland were being invaded by the Germans ( Nazis ) and he
took advantage of the jewish workers for a small fee who later without the
knowledge of oskar who was notably a member of the nazi party who defected to
his people because his sympathy for the jewish workers touched his human
conscience and historically he was a german who saved 1,200 jewish lives from
the tragedy of the massacre Holocaust
perpetrated by the Nazis.
****
The film opens with a group of Jewish families praying at the dinner table
in their language and then the visuals on the film transition from colorful to Black-and-White.
This is where Steven uses his intellectuals in interpreting Schindler's
Ark novels in a different way.
Of the several films that tell the same story about the Holocaust, it is
Schindler's List that I think is the most complete and understandable storyline
in discussing the history of nazi atrocities at that time.
After the visuals transitioned to black-and-white, the Scene turned a little
dramatic as the Germans successfully invaded Poland in 1939 by defeating the
Polish army in two weeks. In this scene, the german army ordered all Polish
residents of Jewish blood or descent to be recorded which later all the
recorded population would be relocated to a concentration camp of Jewish
prisoners, namely dikrakow.
****
Then Scene changed to Oskar Schindler's a business man who attended a Nazi
Party with the aim of bribing the higher-ups so that he could be facilitated
later with the opportunity to open an industrial business in a war situation.
He was a man who took advantage of profits during the war, When the nazi
soldiers focused on judging the jews, Oskar Schindler's seized the moment to
hire jewish prisoners as his workers in the industrial factories he owned.
In this scene, Actor Liam Neeson deserves 4 thumbs up in his performance
playing oskar schindler's who looks very authoritative and dignified in his
performance playing schindler's.
****
In the next scene After Oskar Schindler's managed to bribe the nazi
higher-ups, Then Scene changed to a more serious script by showing jews being
treated inhumanely by german soldiers and of course the main character, Oskar
Schindler, was in the middle of the ongoing events at the time, When he visited
a building of a special complaints agency for jewish residents in poland. Oskar
visited there to meet Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley) a learned
Jew who had experience in accounting, Oskar appointed him as his assistant to
help him run his business during the war.
In this scene we can know and learn how to do business that oskar schindler's
did during the war, He made a contract to the german army so that oskar could
take some jewish workers to work for him, And not only that here we will be
shown that the power of money was already in force at that time even before
that money had considerable power or impact on human development during the
war.
****
This is where I think the greatness of thinking in the scripting done by
steven spielberg must be thumbs up, He makes the character of Oskar Schindler's
begin as if he were a protagonist who took advantage of the opportunity to make
a big profit during the war, But after that in the middle of the film we can
see a change in disposition from oskar who had a purpose behind hiring jewish
prisoners then turned into a rescuer who
defected from german to protect his Jewish workers from being taken to Camp
concentration to be killed.
In addition, Liam Neeson's acting turned into a good character and has a
close relationship like his best friend with his assistant, Itzhak Stern, makes
the nuances of this film even more sad due to the Chemistry between Oskar and
Itzhak.
Conclusion:
And even more so what makes this film included in the list of Greatest
Films Ever Made! perhaps because there are several scenes or scenes that
highlight the sexuality and violence committed by the german against the jews
which is highlighted in the form of satire ( satire ) And also tells the heroic
story of Oskar Schindler's who sacrificed his money to save thousands of jewish
lives. Not only that, in my opinion, what makes this film look like a
commercial film is because there are no scenes of the war between the German
Army and the Army from the allied camps from america, but Schindler's List is
packaged as a drama of saving the Jews that Oskar did and shows the true
reality that happened to both sides while the war was going on.
The film, which lasts 3 hours and 15 minutes, will certainly change the mood of
the audience to sadless mode, It is certain that you will be totally sadless
made into this historical drama film because the ending is also packed with
saddest.
