In 2003, I was studying in a famous city in the north. One day, when I came to my favorite place to eat fried chicken skeleton, I bought the cheapest one for two dollars and sat down to eat it. A van stopped, and as soon as the door opened, the people inside rushed down, and the momentum was like a tiger descending the mountain, destroying the dead. In less than 10 seconds, I was the only one left at the scene, holding my two-dollar chicken skeleton, dumbfounded.

Perhaps, such things are too numerous to mention. We are already very happy, living in a peaceful age. Everyone seems to be working hard to make this society better and better with their own moral standards. No matter how much argument there is, in the end we'll be fine.

However, we always choose to forget about the too painful past. Not to mention reflection. Being good at reflection is also my greatest respect for this film. The eight major cinema chains in Hollywood were founded by Jews. By the time of Schindler's list, everyone had already made a lot of money. So, I decided to make this film that I didn't intend to make money.

In this film, there are kind-hearted Germans and officers who are in a dilemma in the context of the great era. Human nature is here, so real. However, in my opinion, it's all plot.

Most importantly, the film reveals the original sin of Western civilization. And the cause of original sin, the evil of human nature.

From the massacre of the Indians, to the slave trade in Africa, to the genocide of the Jews. The establishment of civilization seems to be based on the oppression of other peoples. Is that African continent, which is called never having a future, just because black people are not smart enough? Crazy plunder of other ethnic groups, come back to develop their own economy and export products. Out there are criminals who come to pretend to be holy believers. Now that the stolen money is used up, the idea of ​​the Middle East is playing again. In the name of liberal democracy. Isn't this national business model still slavery?

In my opinion, the most horrific thing about this film is not the crimes of the Germans. The German nation, almost the most rational nation in the world, has committed such crimes. Still can not resist the greed, sin, weakness, cruelty of human nature. Not to mention others. Schindler's sentence "war is always the evil of human nature, not the flash" is a warning.

The magic of this movie for me is that the more I look back, the more obvious and terrifying that huge evil becomes. Suffocates me, makes me see no hope, makes me curl up in a chair, afraid to touch my phone. Because it seems to indicate that all this in history will eventually come back.

    "Anyone who saves a life will save the world!" A piece of such a profound history, how I hope it will end early, but you never want it to end for such a classic film. Moved by conscience, what is very impressive is always the touch of red in the black and white picture. In any era, no matter how dark it is, the brilliance of humanity will flicker; classic films will not make people feel dull because of the lack of color. ★★★★☆
