Schindlers List Movie
Steven Spielberg in 1993 directed the drama war film, Schindlers List. The music type is orchestra. Violin has been used throughout the film; however, there is a use of woodwind instrument - Oboe. John William, composer of the song and Itzhak, a violinist, gave life to the film. The use of musical instruments supplements well the film in bringing out the suffering of Millions of Jews. Violin instrument brings a sober beginning, but sad and melancholic feeling creeps in, hearts are pierced, the woodwind instrument, Oboe stitches it, brings a mixed orchestra feeling, soothing feeling. The director interlude successfully scenes from ‘Good German ' who rescues Jews from being assassinated by the Nazis to Evil Nazi revolutionist who has brought Jews into endless suffering, torture, and murder. Musical Instrumental sends a sharp chill through spines, the earthy and authentic sounds of violin gives life to the storyline, it connects the viewers to the events, makes everyone cry at the end. Itzhak and John William have managed to create a sound effect, which is completely neutral, undoubtedly, suitable to a timeframe of the film; it has reflected the suffering the Jews endured during Nazi revolution.

    Following the background knowledge of her career and her father’s, Rosenberg includes an emotion filled sentence about O’Connell, “But behind the trophies and the swagger of the racing circuit, Hayes was harboring a painful secret: He had always believed he was a woman” (481).

    In this point of my analysis, I deal with the scene that one could argue most enriches the main subject of the story, namely hope. In this scene that is created by Darabont, Andy, who is at Norton 's office to receive some used books and sundries for the prison 's library, locks the guard in the bathroom and then starts playing a recording of ‘Canzonettasull 'aria’ from the opera The Marriage of Figaro. As Verstraten argues, filmmakers use music as narrative tool(153) that not only challenges the audience 's emotions but also carries the theme of the movie. In this scene the music is intradiegetic since Andy connects the public speaker system to the record player so that all of the prisoners can hear the music. In her book Music in American Crime Prevention and Punishment, Lily Hirsch explains that this scene “also highlights another utopia musical ascription related to the contested idea that music is a universal language” since all the prisoners are feeling connected, enjoying the music while hope is revived within their

    It is obvious that Schindler risk his life, determining whether he did it out of empathy, impulse, self-interest, Influence is a good question. At one point if you would have asked me this question I would have said self-interest, but now looking at the full picture and watching the movie my vision of him has shifted. The things he saw and did, the way he took action, trying to save lives. Schindler was raised to believe to hate Jews at a young age, and everyone he new and maybe even trusted was going around tormenting jews and killing for fun. It makes me wonder if he truly was not sure of which way to go.

    Similarly, In Night by Elie Wiesel, Juliek plays the guitar to make the "end" as pleasant as he can because he himself knows that he will not make it out. Juliek purposely plays a German symphony, which the Jews are forbidden to play, to give the prisoners a sense of hope. In Night Wiesel states, "He was playing with his life, His whole being was gliding over the strings'' (Wiesel 94) Juliek knew what he was doing, and he knew what was going to happen to him but he still played the violin to demonstrate to the prisoners to remember that they are not just some prisoners but also a human who deserves to live.

    This Chaconne begins with a singing violin melody almost beguiling in its character, with a natural sense of ebb and flow that traverses numerous episodes. With the addition of double stops and chordal textures, the intensity gradually rises until it reaches the breaking point where the violin charges forward through a frenetic, virtuosic passage. The tension and register continue to rise to the point where the violin sounds as if it is screeching. The drama resolves in the brief coda as the frantic energy unwinds and the violin fades away into the
