Why did Oskar schindler have a list?

In early 1944, however, Plaszow's designation was changed from that of a labor camp to a concentration camp. This meant that its prisoners were suddenly marked for transport to death camps such as Auschwitz. Then came word in the summer that the main camp was to be closed as well as Schindler's factory. Schindler approached Goeth about moving his factory and his workers to Czechoslovakia so that they might continue to supply the Third Reich (Hitler's army) with vital war supplies. After another bribe, the SS officer agreed to throw his support behind the plan and told Schindler to draw up a list of those people he wanted to take with him. Schindler was now faced with the task of choosing those he wanted to save-literally a matter of life and death. Schindler came up with a list containing some eleven hundred names, including all the employees of Emalia Camp and a number of others as well

The little girl in the red coat, found in the film "Schindler's List" did die.

She was seen as the one of the only specks of colour in the whole film. She hides when the Cracow ghetto is liquidated, and is only seen again in a pile of dead bodies ready to be burnt after the Nazis surrendered

Why did they use color in the movie schindlers list?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The rare use of color in "Schindler's List" was during the Nazi raid on Warsaw, to draw attention to the little girl in the red coat. This was used to show Oskar's POV in watching her, and then to better show her fate late in the film. Then, at the end when the film switches to modern time to show the shift in time. Spielberg shot the film in B&W because that's how all the photographs of the time were shot, and subsequently he want to stay in that pallete as that's how most of us "remember" those times.

What movie won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1976?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Patton (1970) won seven Academy Awards (Oscars): Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Sound, and Best Art Direction. George C. Scott famously refused to accept it, citing a dislike of the voting and even the actual concept of acting competition. He was the first actor, though not the last, to do so (Marlon Brando would, two years later, decline his Oscar for The Godfather in 1973.)

Patton (1970) was also nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best Music, Original Score.

Virtually the entire film was shot in Spain. One scene, which depicts Patton driving up to an ancient city that is implied to be Carthage, was shot in the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, located in Morocco.

Why was Schindler's List banned?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Steven Spielberg was deeply influenced by his parents who were indirectly affected by the Holocaust and who told their children stories about it. Spielberg wanted to pass along Schindler's compelling story. He did not see his film as entertainment but as a story that needed to be told. You can hear Spielberg talking about his reasons for filming at the video at the related link.

More Detail

The story of the making of the film pre-dates Spielberg's involvment by over ten years. Spielberg had been asked to make the film in the eighties, but he did not feel ready as he did not feel established enough. Even though he was responsible for many of the most sucessful films to date, this film would become a 'passion project' for him.

Spielberg needed to pick the right time to make the film, and with the (National) US Holocaust Memorial Museum due to open in 1993, and Holocaust awareness in the US being at an all time low, Spielberg picked this time to attach himself to the project.

The film needed to reach as wide an audience as possible, this explains why Spielberg chose to change parts of the story, to make it more entertaining, or to amalgamate many people into one character (Itzack Stern) so that the audience could more easily identify with him and follow the story Spielberg felt was the most important story to tell.

The movie was made to educate people, to entertain people and to make money (over 1200% profit).

What were the theoretical perspectives in Schindler's List?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the both the book and the movie Schindler's list, the point of view is of an onlooker on the situation. There is no actual person standing there right beside Schindler the whole time, but it is filmed and written that way. This point of view has no thoughts of its own, but instead in the book, it seems as if you can hear the thoughts of whoever is being talked about. For example, if talking about Schindler, it would say what he was doing at the time, but also why it is thought he was doing it. In a silly and stupid example: Schindler was eating bananas at the time. He was eating his bananas because he had seen someone slip on one the other day, and thought that if he ate them, they would stop trying to rule the world. etc. I hope this helps :)

Did Liam Neeson win an Oscar for Schindler's List?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. He was nominated for Best Actor of 1993 for his performance as the heroic German businessman Oskar Schindler in Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List," but he did not win. By the way, Neeson was Spielberg's original choice to play Abraham Lincoln in "Lincoln," but the Irish actor eventually dropped out of the role. He was replaced by Daniel Day-Lewis, who went on to win the 2012 Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of the 16th U.S. president.

What is the true story behind the 1993 movie Schindler's List?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

it's about a business man who saves the lives of about a thousand Jews from concentration camps. He found work for them in his business. He "risked" his life to help them by lying to the Germans and bribing them with all the money he had made previously by exploiting the Jews for their cheap labor. In reality, Schindler didn't actually make the list that contained the names of the Jews he was going to save in his factory, but he still did encourage it and helped see it through.

Is Schindler's list based on the holocaust?

Asked by Wiki User

The book is way better and they show different things in each by singer

New Answer:
In the movie, to start, the boys are eight instead of nine. Also, they are the exact same age in the book, in the movie it is unknown if they are the exact same age or not.
There is a dinner scene with Hitler in the book that was excluded in the movie.
Schmuel certainly has more dialog in the book rather than the movie.
Bruno's mom is more sensitive to the Jews in the movie.
You don't know that the cook/doctor (i forget his name) was beaten, it was referred to as terrible things.
Also, hitler is always referred to as "the fury" in the book, but hardly referred to at all in the movie
I am certain there are many more differences than I listed, but these are just a few.
