great cinematography!

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2018)

Take aside all controversies, I would like to review the cinematography aspect that was brought by this Schindler's List movie.
First thing first, as you know that Kaminski did other great jobs as well on such a lot great movies (The Terminal, Catch Me If You Can, Ready Player One, etc). But those experience he had might start from this one documentary-like movie.
I do really like all unsteady shots this movie has. Those bring war-time atmosphere well. I could feel the fast movements, the soldiers rush, people frightened, and so on. Take an example from the shoot from behind the neck of Mr. Schindler at the beginning when he tried to explore the whole room. Or the shoot from the Mr. Amon's point of view when his first time come to Krakow. Those are great!
I want to point out the scene while Mr. Schindler chose his secretary for the DEF too. Kaminski tried to show how the time goes by shooting the exact same set but the actors changing positions.
And the greatest of them all is how Spielberg managed with idea to send a girl in red coat to give the audience some red line of the story. We could see at the middle of the movie this girl went back an forth amidst chaotic operation by Germany soldier. After that, we see her back when the situation a little bit under control while she was walking calmly and holding hand with her parents. Then later we see the scene while she was dead and about to be burned. And after that, Mr. Schindler's was motivated to save as many jews as he could put on his saving list.
Last but not at least, some music during the chaotic operation, from the slow violin, then silent, then fast piano played by the soldier on the set. Accompanied by some firing light that fit to the beat of the music tempo. Brilliant in short.
That's all. I could just give 10 stars for the movie. But I gave out one star for the controversies.
