Unit 9 TSchindlers List （辛德勒的名单）I. Understanding the Movie1Background Information辛德勒的名单是犹太导演斯皮尔伯格对二战期间德国纳粹屠杀万犹太人惨剧的回顾，影片以悲观阴郁的基调和富于强烈戏剧张力的惊悚元素，透过主人公辛德勒的眼睛，重回二战时波兰的科拉科，带领人们经历这个城市从繁荣到废墟的一切，同时在那个没有人性的年代中努力寻找人性的微芒，最终揭示了一个主题人类的良知在任何恶劣的境况中都不会完全地泯灭。值得一提的是，斯皮尔伯格并不想以历史仇恨或历史批判的眼光来处理这个题材，不是要揭开历史的伤疤，加深它的痛楚，他只是想通过讲述一个普通人在充满敌意和荒谬的世界中挣扎的超道德的故事，来检视这个事件和它对当事人以及整个时代的影响，并且将这个影响化做忠诚的记录与忠告，安慰着逝去的灵魂，警醒着幸存的生者，传递给不曾经历的人。战争已经结束，光明已经来临，没有什么是永恒而不可化解的，世人应谨记犹太人为了感恩而送给义人辛德勒的戒指，还有那上面一句古老的希伯来经文：凡救一命，即救全世界。它（辛德勒的名单）深刻地揭露了德国法西斯屠杀犹太人的恐怖罪行，并且具有极高的艺术性，它的思想的严肃性和非凡的艺术表现力都达到了几乎令人难以超越的深度。我们为它颁发奥斯卡大奖，对于影片的成就来说，这是当之无愧的。而史蒂芬斯皮尔伯格也以此片第次夺得了奥斯卡最佳导演奖，对于他的才华来说，这是一份迟到的肯定。第届奥斯卡奖评委会辛德勒的名单具有回顾历史、发人沉思的艺术效果，我迫切要求你们去看看这部影片。美国前总统克林顿它让德国感到震惊，让世界感到震惊，它真实地再现了纳粹屠杀犹太人的恐怖罪行，它让我们重新回忆和审视那段历史，我们愿以真挚无华的追思，共同思考和感受那段历史的伤痛。德国前总统罗曼赫尔佐克对于我来说这是一次全新的体验，这次我感到重要的不是我的想像力，而是我的良心，突然间，我一惯用来逃避现实的摄像机直面现实，在拍摄中我哭了，我每天都流下了热泪。史蒂芬斯皮尔伯格年 月，德军在两周内攻占了波兰，犹太人的生活从此陷入了黑暗。刚从家乡来到科拉科的德国人奥斯卡辛德勒想要借着战争发财，于是他买下一个经营不善的搪瓷厂以生产食用器皿，供应军需。他找到犹太人斯泰恩，要他当会计师和助手来管理工厂。在科拉科，犹太人是最便宜的劳工，因此，辛德勒的工厂只使用犹太人。年 月日，科拉科的犹太人遭到了惨绝人寰的大屠杀。亲眼目睹这一切的辛德勒受到了极大的震撼，他决定去找党卫军司令官阿蒙戈特，让他批准将自己的工厂定为一个附属劳役营，重新恢复生产，并向戈特许诺只要能达到目的一定会给他令人满意的报答。在德军疯狂屠杀犹太人的日子里，辛德勒开设的工厂成为了众多犹太人的避难所。年月，戈特奉上级之命要把剩下的犹太人运往奥斯威辛集中营。辛德勒清楚奥斯威辛集中营的可怖，他立志尽可能多地保护犹太人，于是他向斯泰恩口授着名单，并用钱买通了戈特和盖世太保朱利斯，买下了自己的工人，拯救了一个又一个无辜的生命。辛德勒越来越受到违反种族法的怀疑，但他每次都很机智地躲过了迫害。同时，为了向德国军官行贿，辛德勒的工厂几近破产。年，德国终于无条件投降了，犹太人获得了解放，而作为德国人的辛德勒却要流亡。临行前，工厂中的工人们从牙齿上取出金子打铸成一个质朴的戒指，上面用希伯来文刻了一句经文：凡救一命，即救全世界。长老代表全体工人写了封信交给辛德勒，万一他被捕，上面有所有人的签名。辛德勒始终在为自己没能救出更多的犹太人而悔恨，可人们知道他已经尽了力年，耶路撒冷的浩劫纪念馆宣布辛德勒为义人，年月日，辛德勒去世，他被以天主教的方式安葬在家乡的兹维塔齐尔山上，他的义举永远被犹太人铭记在心。施义的与受益的可以说，影片的主人公辛德勒与犹太人的融合是一步一步的。辛德勒是一位德国人，他利用德国人发起的战争诱使犹太商人投资，并雇佣廉价的犹太人做工，大发战争横财。获取暴利之后，他骄傲地对妻子说：“我敢说这里的人，他们不会轻易忘记辛德勒，他们会说：奥斯卡辛德勒？人人记得他，他做了杰出的事，他能做别人所不能的，他空手来到这里，带着两只旅行箱离去，装满了世上的财富。”然而犹太人的流血让辛德勒感到了震惊。影片里所描绘的犹太区域的减种惨案是血腥而残酷的流血的一天开始了，无数的犹太人被从家中赶到了街上，一阵阵枪声之后，一群群犹太人倒了下去。入夜了，余下的以为安全了的犹太人从各自藏身的地方走出来，从地板下面，从床铺下面，从钢琴中，从墙的夹层里但是他们还没来得及呼吸一口安宁的空气，耳边又响起了枪声，狡猾的纳粹军队从隐蔽处冲出来血从天花板上渗出，从床铺下流出残忍的戈特对辛德勒发着他的谬论：“今天是历史的时刻，今天将会被纪念。年前，犹太人到科拉科落了脚，他们在商业、科学、教育、艺术上兴盛起来，他们一无所有来，一无所有，却发了迹。个世纪，形成了犹太人的科拉科，到今天晚上，个世纪的历史成为谣言，它们从未发生过，今天才是历史。”财富和永恒是人类个人和集群追逐的目标，让世人记住，成为历史。财富容易被易手，历史经常被改写。财富是不是能取代人生的价值，历史是不是能抹煞存在的记忆是良心发现还是信仰发生？发现和发生一样地重要，否则，没有发现，生命的起点不会实现人生的目标；没有发生，人生的目标会违背人生的起点。发生让人们有根据，发现让人们做见证。身为这场战争的亲临者和目击者，辛德勒开始重新思考价值发生的根据，重新思考记忆发现的见证。于是，辛德勒以生产军火需要大量劳力的名义，开始用战争期间赚来的金钱买下一个个必遭集中营厄运的犹太人，辛德勒的名单救下了名犹太人。战争结束了，德国人失败了，工人们获得了生存的自由。“辛德勒的名单”作为价值让世人测度它的财富，“辛德勒的名单”作为记忆让世人缅怀它的历史。2. Synopsis 德国投机商人辛德是个国社党(即纳粹党)党员。他好女色，会享受，是地方上有名的纳粹中坚分子。他善于利用与关系攫取最大的利润。在被占领的波兰，犾太人是最便宜的劳工。因此，辛德勒的工厂只使用犾太人。然而这些人得到这份工作也就得到了暂时的安全，作为战争产品的生产者而免受屠杀。辛德勒的工厂成了犾太人的避难所。然而纳粹对犾太人的残酷迫害使辛德勒越来越不满，1943年，纳粹对克拉科夫犾太人的残酷血洗使辛德勒对纳粹的最后一点幻想也破灭了，他清楚纳粹对犾太人的屠杀和奥斯威辛集中营的可怖。从那时起，辛德勒只有一个想法，尽可能多的保护犾太人，使其免受奥斯威辛的死亡。他制定了一份声称工厂正常运转所“必须”的工人名单，通过贿赂纳粹官员，使他们得以幸存下来。他越来越受到违反种族法的怀疑，但他每次都很机智地躲过了迫害，一如既往地不惜冒着生命危险营救犾太人。当运输他的女工的一列火车错开到奥斯威辛时，他还破费了一大笔财产把这些女工又追回了他的工厂。不久，苏联红军来到了克拉科夫市，向在辛德勒工厂里乾活的幸存的犾太人宣布：战争结束了。下大雪的一天晚上，辛德勒向工人们告别，获救的1000多名犾太人为他送行。他们把一份自动发起签名的证词交给了辛德勒，以证明他并非战犯。同时，有人还敲下自己的金牙，打制了一枚金戒指，赠送给辛德勒，在戒子上刻着一句犾太人的名言：救人一命就等于救全人类。辛德勒泪流满面，他为未能救出更多的犾太人而感到痛苦。辛德勒为他的救赎行动，已竭尽所能。他的全部财产都已用于挽救犾太人的生命。大雪之中，犾太人目送辛德勒离开了城市。他的义举永远被犾太人们铭记在心。3.

Excerpts from the MovieExcerpt 1（酒过三巡，辛德勒Shindler与纳粹军官阿蒙哥特Amon Goeth到阳台闲聊。平常，Goeth经常无缘无故开枪射击，乱杀无辜，他认为，随意杀人就是权力。Shindler却说，“正义”才是能让一个人操生杀大权的原因，宽恕才是权力。） Goeth: You know, I look at you. I watch you, and youre never drunk. Oh, thats.thats real control. Control is power. Thats power. Is that why they fear us? We have the fucking power to kill, thats why they fear us. They fear us because we have the power to kill arbitrarily. 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. Shindler: Thats not power, though. Thats justice. Its different than power. Power is when we have every justification to kill, and we dont.Goeth: You think thats power? Shindler: Thats what the emperors had. A man stole something; hes brought in before the emperor. He throws himself down on the ground, he begs for mercy. He knows hes going to die. And the emperor. pardons him. This worthless man, he lets him go. Goeth: I think you are drunk.Shindler: Thats power, Amon.Excerpt 2今天是个历史时刻。今天会被人铭记心头。很多年后依然会有年轻人带着崇敬的心情问起今天发生的一切。今天将被载入史册，而你就是其中的一部分。600年前，犹太人背负着传播黑死病的罪名，所谓的卡奇米尔兹大帝告诉他们可以去克拉科夫。于是他们就来了。他们带着全部的家当进驻到这个城市。他们就这么定居下来，掌控了这里。他们大兴商业、科学、教育和艺术。他们当初一无所有，两手空空却居然平地起高楼。六个世纪以来，克拉科夫一直被犹太人霸占着。想想吧，就在今夜过后，那六个世纪就将成为传说。什么也没发生过。今天我们将改写历史。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. Think about that. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history.Excerpt 3（对犹太工人）刚刚德国已经宣布无条件投降。今天午夜时分，战争即将结束。明天你们就能去寻找你们幸存的家人。但对大部分人来说，可能是无果的。长达六年的杀戮后，全世界都在为这些受难者哀悼。但我们幸存了下来。你们中的很多人曾经上前亲自感谢我。感谢你们自己吧。感谢你们无所畏惧的斯特恩，以及你们身边彼此关怀、并时刻共赴死亡威胁的人。我是一名纳粹份子，一名军火商，还从奴役劳工中获得了暴利。我是一个罪犯。今夜零点过后，你们将获得自由，而我就将成为逃犯。我会同你们一起待到零时5分，但届时请原谅我不得不远走高飞。（对德军守卫）我知道你们从司令官那里接到了来自他上司的指令，要求你们处决这个集中营里所有的囚犯。现在正是动手的好时候。他们就在这儿，他们全在这儿。这是你们的大好机会。或者，你们也可以选择离开，堂堂正正地回到家人身边，而不是成为刽子手。（对犹太工人）为了纪念你们民族无数的受难者，我建议我们共同默哀三分钟。（Addressing his workers at the end of the war）Oskar Schindler: The unconditional surrender of Germany has just been announced. At midnight tonight, the war is over. Tomorrow youll begin the process of looking for survivors of your families. In most cases. you wont find them. After six long years of murder, victims are being mourned throughout the world. Weve survived. Many of you have come up to me and thanked me. Thank yourselves. Thank your fearless Stern, and others among you who worried about you and faced death at every moment. I am a member of the Nazi Party. Im a munitions manufacturer. Im a profiteer of slave labor. I am. a criminal. At midnight, youll be free and Ill be hunted. I shall remain with you until five minutes after midnight, after which time - and I hope youll forgive me - I have to flee.（He addresses the factorys SS guards）Oskar Schindler: I know you have received orders from our commandant, which he has received from his superiors, to dispose of the population of this camp. Now would be the time to do it. Here they are; theyre all here. This is your opportunity. Or, you could leave, and return to your families as men instead of murderers.（the guards gradually exit; he addresses the workers again）Oskar Schindler: In memory of the countless victims among your people, I ask us to observe three minutes of silence.III.

Based on a true story, SCHINDLERS LIST is Steven Spielbergs epic drama of World War II Holocaust survivors and the man who unexpectedly came to be their saviour. Unrepentant womaniser and war profiteer Oskar Schindler uses Polish Jews as cheap labour to produce cookware for the Third Reich. But after witnessing the violent liquidation of the walled ghetto where the Krakow Jews have been forced to live, Schindler slowly begins to realise the immense evil of Nazism. When his own employees are sent to a work camp, they come under the terrorising reign of sadistic Nazi Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes). With the help of his accountant, Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley), Schindler creates a list of essential Jews. Bribing Goeth, Schindler manages to get 1,100 people released from the camp and brought to the safety of his munitions factory in Czechoslovakia. Spielbergs glorious film is wondrously evocative, visually stunning, and emotionally stirring.2. Schindlers List was among the major cultural events of 1993, a superbly realized remembrance of European Jews who suffered genocidal persecution during World War II. As a film, it transcends critical evaluation with its overwhelming social message. Nonetheless, specific aspects of the film stand out, in particular Liam Neesons complex performance as the humane industrialist who protects his workers from the horrors of German concentration camps. Widely considered director Steven Spielbergs masterpiece, Schindlers List is a landmark moment in cinema. It is frequently used as a teaching tool, and it has helped ensure a public awareness of Nazi atrocities for years to come. Richard Gilliam Based on a true story, Steven Spielbergs Schindlers List stars Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler, a German businessman in Poland who sees an opportunity to make money from the Nazis rise to power. He starts a company to make cookware and utensils, using flattery and bribes to win military contracts, and brings in accountant and financier Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley) to help run the factory. By staffing his plant with Jews whove been herded into Krakows ghetto by Nazi troops, Schindler has a dependable unpaid labor force. For Stern, a job in a war-related plant could mean survival for himself and the other Jews working for Schindler. However, in 1942, all of Krakows Jews are assigned to the Plaszow Forced Labor Camp, overseen by Commandant Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes), an embittered alcoholic who occasionally shoots prisoners from his balcony. Schindler arranges to continue using Polish Jews in his plant, but, as he sees what is happening to his employees, he begins to develop a conscience. He realizes that his factory (now refitted to manufacture ammunition) is the only thing preventing his staff from being shipped to the death camps. Soon Schindler demands more workers and starts bribing Nazi leaders to keep Jews on his employee lists and out of the camps. By the time Germany falls to the allies, Schindler has lost his entire fortune and saved 1,100 people from likely death. Schindlers List was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won seven, including Best Picture and a long-coveted Best Director for Spielberg, and it quickly gained praise as one of the finest American movies about the Holocaust.
