From a very young age, I have been thinking about a question, that is, what is the meaning of human life? What is the meaning of life?
Although this question did not make me sleepless all night, it has always been buried deep in my heart.
A few years ago, I watched the well-known movie "Schindler's List", which was very long, at least not short for me, for three hours, but I watched it very seriously and carefully.
Although the film is black and white, and the only color is the red color, it still moves me inexplicably.
Strictly speaking, the film does not have too much emotional rendering, or there is no "forced sensationalism" in the film, no "rough implantation or subjective or objective values", but you just feel what the film wants and wants to express, that is, "reject war, embrace peace", in war, there is never a winner.
"Anti-war" is naturally an old but timeless topic, but in the case of Schindler's List, I don't want to say how it expresses "anti-war", but how it tells me "the meaning of life, the value of living".
"Even if the background of life is sad, there is always warmth that can illuminate the years."
Many years ago, the movie "Schindler's List" was released, which touched countless audiences and countless people.
The film tells how Schindler gradually changed from a German speculative businessman to an "angel" who scattered his family wealth and wanted to protect more Jews.
Schindler was a good woman, would enjoy, and was a famous Nazi stalwart in the local area. He is good at using his relationships to grab the most profits. In occupied Poland, Jews were the cheapest laborers. As a result, Schindler's factory used only Jews. Even so, Schindler's factory became a refuge for the Jews.
However, the Brutal Persecution of Jews by the Nazis made Schindler increasingly dissatisfied.
The film is entirely black and white, with only three scenes in color.
The first is the girl in red seen by the male protagonist when the Nazis went on a killing spree
The second is the girl in red that the male protagonist saw again when the body was burned
The girl was so small, her life had just begun, and the dress was so red, like blood and like the setting sun, that pierced Schindler's eyes and moved Schindler's heart.
When the little girl died, when the redness disappeared, Schindler had only one thought, to protect as many Jews as possible from Auschwitz's death.
Don't ask what is the meaning of living, or what is the value of life, whether you feel the love of your parents, whether you have people who want to spend your life together, what kind of person you want to be, please grasp the "red in life".
"I could have saved more."
No, "When you save a life, you save the whole world." ”
The film's last color is when Jews come to mourn Schindler years later.
The saved Jews understood his stubbornness, and Schindler was not the warmth that illuminated life in their eyes.
