King of Hollywood

The Schindler List was finally officially launched at the end of '93 and received countless positive reviews after a great deal of early publicity and attention from countless people.

“Spielberg once again showed his amazing talent by doing what the colored films didn't and keeping his mouth shut for those who questioned him. - Los Angeles Times.

“Heavy, repressive and hopeful, this is a masterpiece on humanity. Spielberg is no longer full of childhood, but he brings a painful piece to the audience that he has to watch. - The Hollywood Report.

“Adrian, who saved a man like the rest of the world and was the producer of the Schindler List, is right, although I still insist that Schindler's motives are not so simple in history, but I agree that this is a masterpiece.” - Chicago Tribune

Including the rhetorical sharp, better films that like to ruin two sentences. Albert also greatly appreciated the film in his column and gave him his thumb.

“Since the 1960s, movies have become colors, and while black and white films have not completely disappeared from the screen, they have also become performances of character, with directors producing black and white films more to showcase their unique flavors, because the more colors they have, the richer they become.

But Spielberg is now breaking through this, and although Schindler's List is available in only two colors, we can see more colors than black and white. When the single-armed elderly were killed in the snow, there was a strong contrast between the blood spilled and the snow; When the women in the concentration camp had to stab their fingers in the face with blood in order to make their pale faces look redder in order to avoid being picked out by the Nazis; When the children in the concentration camp hid under the toilet pit in order to escape Nazi raids; When the women were running in circles in the concentration camp with their bodies bare. Though there are only two colors, the shock and shock have given us more to look at and the weight that color cannot bring.

The whole movie was filled with spielberg Montage techniques, with superficial but profound metaphors, such as Aimon pulling out a Jewish worker and pointing several bullets in the head without firing a bullet because of a problem. Even then, he kept pulling the trigger, and the annihilation of humanity was evident here.

But the most amazing thing is the whole film, the only little girl who walked through the Holocaust in colour, with such a bright red colour to represent the symbolic significance of the massacre, can't help but want to get up and applaud. But Spielberg himself admitted that the idea in Spielberg format was not his own idea, but his friend Adrian? Not only did Colwell do him a lot of favors in the film, but he also invested in the whole film, and it has to be said that this young man is worthy of the title 'Miracle Director’. ”

Of course, there are articles that are criticized, but most of them are not itchy, and the more well-known the media, the more criticized they are from the point of view of how they were filmed, and the more praised they are for being a great, humanistic work. After all, anti-fascism is politically correct no matter where the country is, coupled with a bunch of old guys backing up, even extremist anti-Semites are now afraid to raise their objections publicly.

It is precisely because of this momentum that 300 exhibitors were acquired before the screening and expanded to 400 immediately after the screening. But that's it, and while the old guys want more people to enjoy the film, they can't go against market rules unless they have a complete monopoly on the estate.

It doesn't matter, this kind of opening is pretty good compared to other art films, Adrian decided from the start to do a long line show, so long as the current momentum is maintained and gradually increased, the owners of the exhibition will also have to abide by market rules.

In short, between late '93 and early' 94, the film that Americans discussed the most was the Schindler List, and there was a great deal of praise, and the Jewish community in every major city in the United States held a grand memorial service, and even Clinton said at a press conference: “I urgently ask you to see this film. ”

It was unclear whether he really believed that or wanted to please voters, or whether he had made deals with some people. In any case, this is another addition to the Schindler List to make it burn more and more in the United States. Three weeks later, not only did the number of exhibitors increase to 800, but the total box office in North America also received 20 million, and that momentum had not diminished at all, with Jewish families in North America approaching the film.

The situation is even hotter in Europe. After all, that was the main Jewish victimized area, and when the film was shown in European countries, a number of Jewish families took the initiative to promote it, together with the unprecedented solidarity of the Jews ravaged after World War II, the old man on the American side was only a little contacted, and German Chancellor Cole appeared at the German premiere of the Schindler List.

Of course, being able to achieve this kind of achievement can make such a big scene, and it has nothing to do with the excellence of the film. As Adrian said a long time ago, the reason why Schindler's List is so popular is because it's so popular with old people, and the key is because it's entertaining, or even closer to how ordinary people feel.

Whether it's "One Street in Warsaw" or "Annie Diary" or "Bare in Wolves" or "One Street in Warsaw" for too long, "One Street in Warsaw" is a 49-year work; it's either narrow perspective, and "Annie Diary" and "Bare in Wolves" are one person's perspective, describing one or several family matters.

And the Schindler List has three perspectives, and it's all about that history, and more importantly, Spielberg knows what the audience prefers to see - the Schindler List has to get a good box office in Germany, and besides the Germans' self-reflection, the main character is not one of the reasons the Germans taste it.

The audience will naturally be touched and shocked, and the Jews will naturally discover what the film can do in publicity, and the Schindler List will naturally be popularly sought after.

Because of this film, Spielberg's position in Hollywood has grown stronger, knowing that at least half of the founders of the seven major movie companies are Jewish and the other half are more or less Jewish.

Likewise, Kingsley gets more admiration, and the situation in Hollywood between Nissan and Finns opens up. Especially Nelson, who has to dress up every time he travels during a movie screening, otherwise there will be countless people watching it wherever he goes, and sometimes people who think of it as reality will thank him over and over again as Schindler.

Finns wasn't so lucky. Who let him play the villain? However, there are still a lot of filmmakers out there, but unfortunately this English kid is not here and he seems to prefer to make British films. Of course, the script is a good Hollywood movie to pick up, but it's all verbally reserved for Adrian.

But it wasn't them who made the most money from the film.

“You're an amazing young man, Ed, with a brain and an eye and such talent.” One of the people in a circle of suit leather shoes, a slightly fat old man in his early 70s, said to Adrian.

“That's right, Steven himself said that without you, the movie could lose a lot of color.” Another little old man with a short body followed, and his words led to a consistent nod.

“Thank you. This is the result of a concerted effort by all.” Adrian smiled and looked up and raised the cup in his hand: “Although this is not a good occasion, I would like to invite you to join me...”

“It's okay, it should be.” One of them also raised his own cup and took it seriously.

“To those who have lost their lives in misery, far from resting in the arms of their Lord.” Adrian said so.

After a drink, he said a few more words, and Adrian left and came to the father and son he was talking to.

“Already done?” Benedict looked at his godson with a smile.

“Yes, Father.” Adrian nodded, "that was a good conversation. ”

“You're brilliant, Ed,” Benedict patted him on the shoulder, "and I can't believe it. ”

“It just so happens that if Steven hadn't met him, there wouldn't be a situation like this.” Adrian said modestly.

“No, no, no, no, Ed, there aren't so many coincidences in the world, and all things are for a reason, and if you don't cheer up, don't make movies, don't get that easy, even if you run into Steven, you won't be without what's happening now.” Benedict smiled gently, “so you were brilliant. ”

“Dad.” Claude couldn't help but scream.

“Well, son, you're great too," Benedict Torton laughed. “You're both great. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. ”

He shot two people again, and then he said seriously: "But I want to remind you, Ed, that those are old foxes, they're friendly, business is business. ”

“I know, Godfather, don't worry, although I'm not very good up here, there's a clever guy helping me.” Adrian looked at Claude with a smile, and they punched him.

“That's it, don't bother your conversation.” Benedict laughed and left.

“I never thought a movie would have that much power.” That's what Claude said after his father left.

“It just so happens that they need such a film, and naturally they spare no effort.” Adrian shrugged his shoulders and looked at him and said, "You got it? ”

“Done,” Claude lifted his chin to an old man in that circle who was still talking, "Mr. Bloom helped a little and the other guy sold his shares with pleasure. ”

Speaking of which, he grew out of breath and smiled victoriously: "Ted's got fewer and fewer chips. ”

“
