9 The background of the film
《辛德勒的名单》一片将作为电影史上永恒的光辉而存在，它是电影史上一部经典的作品。斯蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格的名字也将与这部影片联系在一起而永远流传下去。1993年，美国著名导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格带领《辛德勒的名单》一片摄制组初抵波兰，就在他们跨进二战期间克拉科夫中营准备安营扎寨之时，突然收到全美犹太人协会从纽约发来的一封急电："请勿惊扰亡魂，让他们安息吧。"斯皮尔伯格读完这聊聊数语的电文，一言不发。他当即下令摄制组全体人员撤离克拉科夫集中营，转移到几十公里以外，搭置布景拍摄。 与此同时，他独自一人离开了摄制组，乘飞机直接飞往纽约。斯皮尔伯格不派代表，不借助电话、电报、电传等迅速方便的现代化通讯工具而横跨大西洋，亲赴纽约向"犹协"致歉，他的谦逊和诚意令"犹协"全体成员无不动容。难怪后来国际影评界交口赞誉《辛德勒的名单》是"一位充满人道主义精神的导演拍摄的一部洋溢人道主义气息的电影"。

10 character Itzhak Stern Oskar Schindler Helen Hirsch Amon Goeth

11 Oskar Schindler Oskar Schindler (28 April 1908 – 9 October 1974) was an ethnic German industrialist, German spy, and member of the Nazi party who is credited with saving the lives of 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his enamelware and ammunitions factories, which were located in what is now Poland and the Czech Republic respectively. He is the subject of the 1982 novel Schindler's Ark, and the subsequent 1993 film Schindler's List, which reflected his life as an opportunist initially motivated by profit who came to show extraordinary initiative, tenacity, and dedication in order to save the lives of his Jewish employees.

12 Itzhak Stern Itzhak Stern (January 25, 1901 – 1969) was
a man of Jewish faith who worked for German industrialist Oskar Schindler. He was the accountant for Schindler's enamelware company (Deutsche lewarenfabrik) in Kraków and greatly helped run the business. He is credited with typing the list of names known as Schindler's list, a list of Jews who survived the Holocaust because of Oskar Schindler's efforts. (There were actually seven lists, of which four are known to have survived.)

13 Amon Goeth Amon Goeth is a real man Born in Vienna and joined a Nazi youth group at seventeen, moved to a nationalist paramilitary group at nineteen, and, in 1930, when he was twenty-two, joined the then outlawed Austrian Nazi Party. He was designated No. 510,964, and in the same year he joined the S.S.he conditions of life at Plaszow were made dreadful by Amon Goeth. A prisoner in Plaszow was lucky if he survived more than four weeks. Collective punishment became frequent, torture and death were daily events. Groups passing one another on different work shifts reported the daily number killed.

28 plot

29 Classic dialogue whoever saves one life ,saves the world entire .
当你挽救了一条生命就等于挽救了全世界。 The list is an absolute good ,the list is life ,All around its margins lies the gulf 这份名单代表着至善，这份名单就是生命，名单的外围是一片可怕的深渊！ An hour of life is still life. 片刻的生命，终究是生命。 A man commits a crime, he should know better. We have him killed, and feel good about it. Or we kill him ourselves and we feel even better.That's not power, though. That's justice. It's different than power. Power is when we have every justification to kill, and we don't. 对一个罪犯，如果我们杀了他，我们会感觉快乐；如果是我们亲手杀了他，就更有快感了。但那不是权力，那只是正义，它和权力并不一样。真正的权力是，我们有充足的理由去处死他，而我们却不去这样做。

30 Classic dialogue Amon Goeth: Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Casimir the Great - so called - told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. With nothing they came and with nothing they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history.

31 Classic dialogue 阿蒙·高斯： 今天是历史性的一天，今天将会被永远记住。很多年以后，年轻人将会用崇敬和好奇来询问今天发生的一切。今天是历史性的一天、并且你们就是其中的一部分。六百年前，欧洲黑死病流行，犹太人被指是病源，当时的波兰国王卡西米（Casimir the Great）大帝允许犹太人来到克拉科夫。于是，他们就来了，举家迁到这座城市，并在这里定居和发展起来。在商业、科学、教育和艺术等等领域都取得了非凡的成就，没有他们——犹太人，也就没有克拉科夫的繁荣。六百年以来，犹太人占据着克拉科夫！！然而这一切，会在今天夜里成为谣言并终结，就像从未发生过。所以，今天是历史性的一天！ 　　——摘自阿蒙在1943年屠杀克拉科夫犹太人群体前、对士兵的动员演讲。

Schindler sees a little girl wearing a red coat.The red cold is one of the few instances of color in the black-and -white scenes of the film. Although the film is primarily shot in black-and-white ,red is used to distinguish a little girl in a coat. Later in the film ,the girl is seen among the dead,recognizable only by the red coat she is still wearing.
