Schindler’s List (1993)

I came into Schindler’s List guarded. I wanted to like it, but was afraid it wouldn't live up to my expectations. Would it feel like homework? What if it was too sad to be enjoyable? I feared for nothing. This picture is everything you’ve heard, and more. It's cinema at its best: rich characters, powerful emotions, and unforgettable imagery. You don't have to have seen every movie ever to know it's one of the greatest ever made.

Based on the true story, Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) sees the Nazi displacement of Kraków’s Jews and sees an opportunity. By employing the little-demanding Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley) and other Jewish Workers in his factory, he can make a small fortune. As World War II rages, he witnesses to the horrors of concentration camps until, one day, he can no longer bear to watch idly.

At 197 minutes, the screenplay by Steven Zaillian is perfection. The time we spend with Schindler allows us to see true change the way it happens in real life. It’s not really one single moment; it’s little things that slowly chip away. When Schindler finally realizes he’s surrounded by monsters and decides to act, it’s a decision so organic and so real. This realism is present in others as well, with special attention given to Kingsley’s Itzhak Stern and Ralph Fiennes as Amon Göth. Fiennes is particularly engrossing because he's so evil but never in a cartoonish way. You're always unsure of where his character is going next. There’s so much tension when he’s on-screen, and to get to know him as we do here is both a heartbreaking and frightening experience.

I know over 3 hours SOUNDS like a long time, but here, it isn’t. The picture is perfect just the way it is, because you get lost in it. You’re enraptured watching the situation escalate in German-occupied Poland. Because of the length of the arcs, you kind of become acclimated to what's shown - in the same way these people would have been. Then BAM! The film pulls out an earth-shattering moment that makes you realize how truly horrifying this historical event was. No textbook summary or journalist’s photo could compare to the scene - if you've viewed the movie, you know the one - where colour is introduced in this otherwise black-and-white film. That choice by director Steven Spielberg is so powerful you can never forget it. Not only because of what it means then, symbolically, but also for what it means in the end.

Schindler’s List is subtle, masterfully acted, and rich with emotion. I don’t want to praise it beyond reason and leave others to be disappointed by it, but it changed me. Partially, the transformation came from the powerful story and layered characters. The impeccable craftsmanship at work and the undeniable passion in every single frame are equally responsible. Right up until the very end, I was hungry to see more. Now that it’s over, I’m not sure how I feel. The final shot is one that has left me in turmoil because I’m not sure if it’s the best scene in the film, or the worst. I don’t know if that makes any sense, but feelings often don’t. Schindler’s List made me feel so many things at once. I can't wait to see it again. (On Blu-ray, August 4, 2017)

Hollywood Epics 4 – Schindler’s List

Today is a different sort of epic film. With a fairly large cast, including several major stars, it fits the scope part of the definition. With a length of over 3 hours, it also fits that part of the definition. Like every other Hollywood Epic I’ve looked at this month, it’s either based on historic events, or a major biblical story that over 1 billion Christians around the world (including…

B-9 : Schindler’s List @ 30 - A Tale of Courage & Compassion

A still featuring Liam Neeson and Ben Kingsley

December 15 marks the 30th anniversary of director Steven Spielberg's 1993 magnum opus Holocaust drama Schindler's List. Produced by Spielberg - with Gerald R. Molen and Holocaust survivor Branko Lustig, the film stands erect as a towering testament to the power of human resilience and the enduring fight against injustice and inhumanity.

One must remember that 1993 was "a living hell" for Spielberg - as he made Jurrasic Park - a contrasting adventurous film that same year. Fortunately, both movies emerged as blockbusters. While Jurrasic Park maintained Spielberg's obsession with stories filled with action and adventure, Schindler's List confirms the auteur's tribute to his parents and their shared Judaism and Jewish identity.

Set against the backdrop of World War II, screenwriter Steven Zaillian adapted Australian novelist Thomas Keneally's novel Schindler's Ark. Schindler's List chronicles the extraordinary story of Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), a wealthy German businessman associated with the Nazi Party who defied the Nazi regime by employing over 1,000 Jewish people in his factories, saving them from the horrors of the Holocaust - particularly from the atrocities of the SS commander Amon Göth (Ralph Fiennes). The film's unflinching portrayal of the atrocities committed against the Jewish people is both harrowing and thought-provoking, forcing viewers to confront the depths of human cruelty. With a cast featuring Ben Kingsley, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagall, and Embeth Davidtz, the film has escalated to a level of excellence that very few movies could reach.

Standing: Ralph Fiennes, Ben Kingsley, and Liam Neeson; Sitting: Steven Spielberg

Beyond its historical significance, Schindler's List has also contributed extensively to cinema. Spielberg's masterful direction, Janusz Kamiński's monochromatic cinematography, and John Williams' sorrow-filled score combine to create an immersive and unforgettable cinematic experience. The film's black-and-white palette, an unexpected product from Spielberg at that time - and a shift to critical topics add to its stark realism and emotional impact.

The film challenges us to confront the darkest chapters of human history while inspiring us to strive for a more benevolent world. Its enduring impact underscores the power of cinema to transcend entertainment and serve as a catalyst for social change. It also highlights the significance of preserving and sharing historical narratives. The film's impact extends beyond the confines of theaters - as its stories and characters continue to be discussed, analyzed, and shared through online platforms and social media.

Schindler's List retains its position as a cinematic masterpiece and a powerful testament to the human spirit. Its enduring legacy lies in its ability to challenge our perceptions, ignite our emotions, and inspire us to confront injustice and uphold the values of compassion and humanity.

Liam Neeson in Schindler's List (Steven Spielberg, 1993)

Cast: Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagall, Embeth Davidtz. Screenplay: Steven Zaillian, based on a book by Thomas Keneally. Cinematography: Janusz Kaminski. Production design: Allan Starski. Film editing: Michael Kahn. Music: John Williams.

Amid the nearly universal acclaim for Schindler's List, two major criticisms are often heard. One is that Spielberg tends toward the sentimental, especially at the end of the film: He lets Schindler's remorse at having not been able to save more Jews from the Holocaust go on too long, and the appearance of the surviving Schindlerjuden with the actors who played them is an unnecessary extension of the film's already clear moral statement, blurring the distinction between documentary and fictionalized narrative. The other objection is that the appearance of the girl in the red coat during the liquidation of the Kraków ghetto is a too-showy use of film technique in what should be a gripping, realistic scene. The former objection is a highly subjective one: For many, the film needs something to soften the harshness of the story's catharsis. For others, the answer is simply, "Let Spielberg be Spielberg," a gifted but traditional storyteller whose vision of the material he chooses is invariably personal. It's the second objection that gets to the heart of what film criticism is all about. I think David Thomson, in his brief essay on Schindler's List in Have You Seen ... ?, puts the objection most provocatively when he observes, "With that one arty nudge Spielberg assigned his sense of his own past to the collected memories of all the films he had seen. All of a sudden, the drab Krakow vista became a set, with assistant directors urging the extras into line.... It was an organization of art and craft designed to re-create a terrible reality done nearly to perfection. But in that one small tarting up ..., there lay exposed the comprehensive vulgarity of the venture." I can't be as harsh as Thomson, for one thing because when I saw the film in the theater shortly after its release in 1993, I didn't notice the red coat -- the one note of color in the middle of the black-and-white film -- because I am mildly red-green colorblind. (It's difficult to explain to the non-colorblind, but those of us with the color deficiency usually see the color in question, but it's not quite the same color that the normally sighted see.) I did, however, notice the little girl: The framing by Spielberg and cinematographer Janusz Kaminski puts her in the center of the action and makes her search for a hiding place evident even in a long shot. What I did miss that time was the reappearance of the girl's body in a stack of corpses later in the film, something that would be evident to anyone who had earlier seen the red of the coat. Later, when I saw the film on video, after having read about the controversy over the red highlight, I was able to perceive the color -- not so intense for me as perhaps for you, but once brought to my attention inescapable -- and to be shocked by its reappearance in the later scene. And when I watched the film again I realized the function of the "arty nudge": When we first see the girl in the red coat, we see her from the point of view of Schindler (Liam Neeson) himself, on a hillside above the ghetto. And when we see her body, we are seeing it again from the point of view of Schindler, visiting the cremation site where Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes) has been ordered to burn the bodies of those killed in the liquidation of the ghetto. It is a subtle but effective move because it coincides with (even perhaps precipitates) Schindler's decision to try to save as many of his Jewish workers as he can. Is it "arty" or "tarting up" or "vulgar"? Perhaps it is, but it's also effective filmmaking. And only the fact that the Holocaust remains so large and sacrosanct an event in the moral history of the West raises the question of whether "effective filmmaking" is inappropriate to such a subject.

Było ich trzech, w każdym z nich tak samo mocno buzowała krew. Gruby Benji, Huey romantyk i przystojny Bobby. Lody na patyku to zapis ich szczeniackich, zawsze pieprznych podbojów w latach 50. w Tel Awiwie. Cel był zawsze ten sam, zaliczyć panienkę. Napisałem "zaliczyć", bo w rzeczy samej pasuje to jak ulał do motywu przewodniego serii zapoczątkowanej w 1978 roku przez Boaza Davidsona.

Film nie jest więc niczym innym jak lekko sprośną komedią o zabarwieniu erotycznym. Benji, Huey i Bobby chodzą do szkoły (ciężko ustalić czy to szkoła średnia, czy już studia), a po zajęciach szwendają się po klubach i ulicach Tel Awiwu. Próbują podrywać dziewczyny, czasem im się to udaje, częściej nie. Najłatwiej ma przystojny Bobby, tak jak wtedy gdy wystartował do pięknej Nili, którą wcześniej wypatrzył nieśmiały Huey. To wydarzenie zaważy na przyjaźni całej trójki, ale Huey będzie jeszcze próbować. Dramatyczny finał zweryfikuje definicje romantyzmu na nowo, a Huey już pewnie nigdy tak łatwo nie zaufa drugiej osobie.

Jako koprodukcja izraelsko-niemiecka obraz okazał się ogromnym komercyjnym sukcesem, otworzył drogę do dziewięciu kolejnych części (w ostatniej z 2001 roku wystąpili już inni aktorzy), a Davidson nakręcił cztery lata później, w 1982 roku, amerykański remake Ostatnia amerykańska dziewica. Prawdziwi ojcowie sukcesu Yoram Globus i Menahem Golan ze swoją firmą produkcyjno-dystrybucyjną Golan-Globus mogli już z pełną parą przejść restrukturyzację i pod sztandarem The Cannon Group pompować szlachetną B-klasową krew w nasze VHS-owe żyły.

Lody na patyku swego czasu były rzeczywiście pięknym zjawiskiem w VHS-owej kulturze. Przekazywana pod stołem kaseta wspomagała skutecznie wyobraźnie nastolatka (również i moją). Oglądany nerwowo, nierzadko z palcem na przycisku 'eject' stanowił zaproszenie do świata seksu. Nie czułem się zdemoralizowany, a raczej żywo zainteresowany tą przaśną (oryginalny hebrajski język był w europejskiej wersji zawsze z niemieckim dubbingiem. Nikt się wtedy nie zastanawiał nad miejscem akcji, czy osobliwą typografią na ścianach, reklamach i plakatach w filmie) komedią erotyczną. Losy chłopców i zarys fabularny też był mało istotny, a teraz, 40 lat od premiery, świeżo po odświeżeniu za dużo się w tej kwestii nie zmieniło (zapamiętałem go jednocześnie jako film bardziej wyuzdany. Prawdą jest bowiem, że dzisiaj więcej seksu jest w niejednej telewizyjnej reklamie). Opowieść o inicjacjach i dojrzewaniu była pretekstowa, realizacja siermiężna i aż dziw bierze, że obraz Boaza Davidsona był nominowany do Złotych Globów i stanął w szranki z (między innymi) Jesienną sonatą Ingmara Bergmana. Żarty u Davidsona zahaczają o te z natury żenującej (mierzenie przyrodzeń po zajęciach z wychowania fizycznego), ale wszelkie tarapaty w jakie wpadali chłopcy w związku ze swoim rozbuchanym libido zdecydowały właśnie o dzisiejszym statusie kultowym.

Trzeba jednak oddać produkcji kilka rzeczy. Przy filmie pracował urodzony w Krakowie operator Adam Greenberg. Dla autora zdjęć Lody... były jedną z ostatnich izraelskich produkcji, po której przeniósł się już na stałe do Stanów, a dwa lata później w 1980 roku pracował z Samuelem Fullerem przy Wielkiej Czerwonej Jedynce. Możemy oczywiście tylko domniemywać, że lata 50. w Izraelu były przedstawione wiarygodnie, ale od strony muzycznej możemy być pewni, że duch czasów został należycie zaprezentowany. Przy kosztującym trzy miliony ówczesnych izraelskich funtów obrazie, producenci przeznaczyli 1/3 tej kwoty na zakup licencji na piosenki. Dzięki temu obraz nabrał uroku, a twórcy dysponując całą szafą grającą popularnych piosenek (kilkadziesiąt tytułów) nie omieszkali ich wrzucać w każdym możliwym momencie, w trakcie szybszej akcji, czy spokojnej rozmowy. Przeboje Paula Anki (You Are My Destiny, Puppy Love, Diana), Bill Haleya (Rock around The Clock, Shake Rattle and Roll), Marino Marini (Come Prima), The Shadows, Little Richarda i wielu innych ubarwiały, dodawały powabu i wyścielały romantyczną atmosferą krajobraz Tel Awiwu z lat 50., który przez wiele formalnych zabiegów wyglądał jak mieścinka gdzieś z zachodniego wybrzeża w Stanach Zjednoczonych.

Jako komedia erotyczna Lody na patyku wybijają się ponad krwawą historię własnego kraju i były towarem eksportowym w czystej postaci. W samym 1978 roku na terenie Izraela doszło do ośmiu zamachów. Palestyńscy terroryści miesiąc po miesiącu zbierali krwawe żniwo, ale nie naruszyło to w żaden sposób lekkiej atmosfery unoszącej się nad filmem...Dzisiaj tytuł jest o tyleż fikuśny co przede wszystkim znaczący i warto o nim rozmawiać jako utworze ważnym dla rozwoju całego pokolenia nastolatków z lat 80.
