Quotes

Amon Goeth: They cast a spell on you, you know, the Jews. When you work closely with them, like I do, you see this. They have this power. It's like a virus. Some of my men are infected with this virus. They should be pitied, not punished. They should receive treatment because this is as real as typhus. I see it all the time. It's a matter of money? Hmm?

Entry When the little girl in the read coat goes inside to hide during the liquidation of the ghetto, she goes under a bed. Why isn't her coat red anymore? [It's open to interpretation because it was a directorial decision. But the technique was a way to direct the audience's eye towards what Schindler was observing during the chaotic outdoor scenes. Once the girl's inside, the shot is no longer from his perspective since Schindler can't see her anymore, so the red was no longer necessary.]
Answered by JC Fernandez
Entry Moments before the end of the film, a man puts a rose on Schindler's grave. Can someone tell me who he is? [Liam Neeson.]
Answered by Tailkinker
Entry What is the conversation between the German soldiers in the Ghetto scene, after they have shot the boy who ran away and the boy's father who interfered? [Roughly "What is this shit? Did you become moved? You could have shot me. You have shot at me before. An apology is called for. You became moved."]
Answered by ChiChi
Entry Does anyone know the name of the song which is playing on the radio in the beginning of the movie, when Schindler is getting dressed for the party? ["Gloomy Sunday".]
Answered by Kimberly Klaus
Entry I know that someone has earlier stated that the girl in red was the only thing shown in color in the movie (except for the last scene), but I'm pretty sure that some of the candles were in color. Is this true? [Yes.]
Answered by RJR99SS
Entry Was the film always intended to be in black-and-white? If not, roughly when was the decision made? And what was the reason, was it artistic, to get an elderly feel to it or to take focus off blood and gore? [Documentary footage of this era was in B&W, this gave the movie a more authentic feel and was intentional from its inception.]
Entry In the scene where Schindler has just seen the body of the girl in the red coat, and is now talking to Stern about the fates of the workers, it seemed to me that Schindler's eyes were brown and not black and white. It might be just me seeing things, but I thought it might be something symbolic, that his eyes have truly been opened. Does anyone know if this is right or if the eyes are colorless? [His eyes are colorless. The red coat is the only thing in the whole movie that has color.]
Entry On the Deluxe Edition DVD, disc 2, there is a documentary about the Shoah Foundation. I couldn't find any credits for it, but the narrator sounded an awful lot like Morgan Freeman. Is it him? [Yes, it is.]
Answered by Chimera
Entry In the liquidation of the ghetto segment a little girl is shown in color wearing a red dress. What is the significance of this? [The little girl appears three times in the film: once at the beginning of the film, bringing her belongings into the ghetto with her family, once during the liquidation of the ghetto, and once during the disinternment and burning of the Jews killed at Plaszow. Schindler noticed her during the liquidation scene and was horrified by the way the Germans completely ignored her and callously murdered and destroyed other human lives without any regard for this innocent child. It was one of the turning points in his life; after that he began to realize he could no longer turn a blind eye to the monstrous evils of the Nazi party, and began to take a more active role in protecting and rescuing Jews.]
Answered by Phil C.
Entry Are the real Schindler Jews in the end accompanied by younger relatives or by the people who played them in the movie? [It depends, some are accompanied by younger relatives, and others have the actor who played them. The majority have relatives though.]
