"Schindler's list" was finally officially released at the end of 1993. After a lot of pre publicity, it has attracted numerous people's attention, and has immediately won numerous praise.
"Spielberg showed his amazing talent once again. He used a black-and-white film to do what color films didn't do, and shut the mouths of those who questioned him." "Heavy, oppressive and hopeful, this is a masterpiece of humanitarianism. Spielberg is no longer full of childlike innocence, but he brings the audience a hard work that he has to watch "Although Schindler agreed to be the producer of Hollywood, there is no wrong reason for him to be the producer of Hollywood The Chicago Tribune, including critic Roger Abbott, who likes to make two sentences in his own column, also gives his thumbs up to the film.
"Since the 1960s, films began to have color. Although black-and-white films have not completely disappeared on the screen, they have also been completely reduced to the place of individual performance. Directors make black-and-white films more to show their own unique taste, because the more colors can express, the richer the things they can express.
But Spielberg has now broken through this. Although Schindler's list has only two colors, we can see more colors than black and white. When the one armed old man was killed in the snow, the blood was in sharp contrast with the snow; when the women in the concentration camp had to prick their fingers to smear blood on their faces in order to make their pale face look ruddy so as to avoid being picked out by the Nazis; when the children of the concentration camp hid in the feces under the toilet in order to avoid the Nazi's search When they were in the pit; when the women were running round and round in the camp. Although there are only two kinds of colors, the shock and impact produced by them make us see more and more heavy that color can't bring.
The whole movie is full of simple but meaningful metaphors with Spielberg's Montage Technique everywhere. For example, amon pulls a Jewish worker out and fires several shots at his head. However, he still keeps pulling the trigger, which can be seen from the disappearance of human nature.
But the most amazing thing is the only little girl with color walking through the Holocaust. With such a bright red color to represent the symbolic meaning of the massacre, people can't help but want to stand up and applaud. However, Spielberg himself admitted that this very Spielberg style idea was not his own idea, but was provided by his friend Adrian Cowell. Moreover, Cowell not only helped him a lot in the film, but also provided the whole film investment. It must be said that this young man can deserve the title of "miracle director."
Of course, there are also critical articles, but most of them are not painful or itchy. The more well-known media is, the more it is. Most of them criticize from the shooting techniques and angles, and at the same time, they praise it as a great work full of humanitarian spirit. After all, anti fascism is politically correct in any country, and there are still a large number of old people supporting it. Even the most extreme anti Semites are afraid to raise their opposition openly now.
It is because of this momentum that 300 theaters have been obtained before the release, and then expanded to 400 after the release. But that's it. Although the old folks want more people to enjoy the film, they can't violate the market rules unless they completely monopolize the cinema.
It doesn't matter. Compared with other art films, Adrian made up his mind at the beginning to have a long-term show. As long as the current momentum continues and gradually rises, the theater owners should abide by the market rules.
In a word, from the end of 1993 to the beginning of 1994, the movie most discussed by Americans was Schindler's list. Various kinds of praise came out in endlessly. Jewish communities in major cities across the United States held grand memorial activities. Even Clinton called out at a news conference: "I urge you to see this film urgently."
Whether he really thinks so, or whether he wants to please voters, or has a deal with someone, it's not clear. Anyway, it's just another firewood for Schindler's list, making it more and more popular in the United States. Three weeks later, not only did the number of theaters increase to 800, but the total box office in North America also made 20 million, and the momentum did not weaken at all. Maybe Jewish families in North America went to see the film.
The situation in Europe is even hotter. After all, it is the main victim area of Jews. When the film was released in European countries, many Jewish families took the initiative to publicize it. In addition, the unprecedented unity of the Jewish people ravaged after World War II, the old guys in the United States only contacted a little, and German Prime Minister Kohl appeared at the top of Schindler's list in Germany On the screen.
Of course, to achieve such results, can set off such a big momentum, and the film is not without good. As Adrian has said a long time ago, the reason why Schindler's list is favored and sought after by the old guys is that it is entertaining, or closer to the feelings of ordinary people.Whether it is a street in Warsaw, Annie's diary or naked in the wolves, or it takes too long, Warsaw street is a work of 49 years, or both of them have narrow perspectives. Annie's diary and naked in the wolves all describe the affairs of a family or several families from the perspective of one person.
"Schindler's list" has three perspectives, and shows the history in an all-round way. What's more, Spielberg knows what kind of plot and what kind of role the audience prefer to see -- Schindler's list has got a good box office in Germany. Besides the German's self reflection, the protagonist is German.
The audience will naturally be moved and shocked by these, and the Jewish people will naturally find out what kind of role this film can play in propaganda, and Schindler's list will naturally be warmly sought after.
Because of this film, Spielberg's position in Hollywood has become more and more stable. We should know that at least half of the founders of the seven major film companies are Jewish, and the other half are more or less related to Jews.
In the same way, Kingsley has won more praise, and Nathan and Feins' Hollywood situation has opened up. Nissen, in particular, had to dress up every time he went out during the movie. Otherwise, countless people would watch wherever he went. Sometimes he would meet people who took the movie as reality and appreciated him again and again as Schindler.
Feines is not so lucky. Who made him play the villain? However, there are still a lot of film companies come to visit. Unfortunately, this British boy is not here. He seems to prefer to make British films. Of course, Hollywood movies with good scripts will be picked up, but they are all reserved for Adrian verbally.
However, they are not the ones who make the biggest profit from the film.
"You're a wonderful young man, ED, with brains and vision and so talented." Among the people in a suit, a chubby old man in his early 70s told Adrian.
"Yes, Steven himself said that without you, the film would have lost a lot of color." Another short old man followed, and his words elicited a unanimous nod.
"I'm flattered. It's the result of everyone's joint efforts." Adrian said with a smile, then straightened his face and raised his glass: "although it's not appropriate in this situation, I still want to ask you to join us..."
"It doesn't matter. It should be." One of them raised his glass and became serious.
"To those who have lost their lives in their sufferings, that they may rest in the arms of the Lord." Adrian said so.
After a drink and a few more words, Adrian left immediately and came to the father and son who were talking.
"Is the conversation over?" Benedict looked at his godson with a smile.
"Yes, Godfather." Adrian nodded. "It was a good conversation."
"You're brilliant, ED," Benedict patted him on the shoulder, "to think of such a way."
"As it happens, if I hadn't met Steven, it wouldn't have happened." Adrian said modestly.
"No, no, no, ED, there aren't so many happenings in the world. There's a reason for everything. If you don't cheer up, you don't make movies, you don't get so much easy, even if you meet Steven, you won't be in the same situation." Benedict grinned mildly, "so you're brilliant."
"Dad." Claude couldn't help but cry out.
"Well, son, you're excellent too," Benedict burst out laughing. "You're both great. I'm proud of you. I'm very proud of you."
He patted the two people hard, and then said seriously, "but I want to remind you, ED, those are old foxes. Friendship is friendship, and business is business."
"I know, godfather, don't worry. Although I'm not very good at it, there's a smart guy helping me." Adrian looks at Claude with a smile, and the two punch each other.
"That's it. Don't disturb your conversation." Benedict laughed and left.
"I never thought that a movie would have such power." After his father left, Claude said.
"It's just the right time. They just need such a film, so they will spare no effort." Adrian shrugged, then looked at him and asked, "is it done?"
"It's done," Claude lifted his chin to an old man in the circle who was still talking. "Mr. bloom did a small favor, and the other party sold his shares very quickly."
At this point, he breathed a triumphant smile: "Ted's chips are getting smaller and smaller."
