Movie Poster Analysis

 1.For this research paper, I decided to talk about the movie Schindler’s List. In my opinion, this is one of the best historical films and that is why it is my all-time favorite although it came out in 1993. In this poster that I have decided to talk about, we can see how everything is in black and white. There is absolutely no color but the only thing that stands out in it is a little Jewish girl wearing a red coat. I believe the movie makers wanted to make that noticeable and eye-catching to its audience.


2. In my opinion, the creator of this poster and ad wanted to send out a message to its audience. Because everything is black and white, the mood the poster sends to its audience is depressive and oppressive. As we can see, there is one thing that stands out the most and that is the vibrant red coat. I believe that the message that the creator of the poster was trying to send out is innocence. Children are innocent which is why they picked a child to send out the message. The red represents the blood and death of the Jewish who were being murdered for no reason whatsoever.
3.I would say that the intended audience is anyone ages 15 and up. I believe so because in high school we start learning about the holocaust and the history behind it. Many professors show movies such as this one to the students. It is also intended for older men and women who have knowledge about World War II and are interested in learning more of certain stories such as the one Oskar Schindler had to offer.
4.The visual element that quickly grabbed my attention is, of course, the red coat. That is the only sort of color on the poster so it is something that surely stands out the most. Another thing that quickly grabbed my attention was the faces of the main characters being shown. Oskar's face is emotionless which makes you wonder what is going on through his mind. 
5.Pathos is for sure used to grab the viewers’ attention in these posters. Because nothing has any sort of color it sends out a sense of sadness and depression. It makes the audience want to watch the film to find the reason behind the color theme.
6.The slogan in the poster is “Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.” What this means is that saving even one life is very meaningful. Saving only one life is enough to save the entire world. Schindler saved 1,000 through which was something to be very proud of; although towards the end of the film he doesn't feel like he had done enough.
 7. In the poster, faces of the characters are being shown along with the child in the red coat. One thing that the creator left out, is some sort of Jewish symbol so that the audience know what the movie will be about. Without any description or summary of what the movie is about, I wouldn't have ever know that this movie would be about the Holocaust.

           Character Analysis I am doing my research paper on the movie Schindler’s List. That main character in this historical film is Oskar Schindler. Oskar was a self- centered, money seeking man who was only trying to find ways to make more money through the war. In the film, Oskar was a tall and thin man who had a passion for any woman who crossed his way. He always wore his hair back and it was always neatly- groomed. Throughout the whole movie, Oskar had a dominant type of tone. He always knew what he wanted and worked to get to where he wanted to be. In the beginning of the film, Oskar was focused on himself only. He only thought about ways to make more money and about getting with different types of girls. However, throughout the film, he started to grow sympathy towards the Jewish which led him to help them. He later made a list with names of thousands of Jews to save. He hired them in his factory making pots and pans and lat...

SCHINDLER'S LIST: THE LIST OF LIFE In Mr. Lewenstein's class, we were required to do a research paper in a historical film of our choice. We worked slowly by working on paragraphs individually which made everything run so smooth. This is some of the work that I was able to do throughout the semester JAY'S THREE PART INTRODUCTION The Holocaust was a very dark time for everyone, especially for the Jewish. During World War II, the innocent lives of many Jews were taken for no reason. Fortunately, there were very few of those who felt compassion for the Jews and saved a couple of lives. Towards the end of the film “Schindler’s List,” there is a scene in which the Jews hand Oskar a ring in thanks to him helping them. Instead of Oskar thanking the Jews for the ring, all he could say was “I could have done more.” This is something that truly touched my heart because he truly wanted to help as many Jews as he could. Although Oskar was able to save over a thousand lives, an...

"BOOK OUT OF MY PAST" Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare The book that I decided to write about is “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare. I read this book when I was in high school for my English class. I had always heard so many things about this book but that was the first time that I actually read it. I was never really a book reader so I had never read this book but when I finally did I have got to say it is very interesting and shocking. The book was about a young couple who fell in love at a party that they both attended to. The unfortunate thing is that their families hated each other. This led them to get married behind their backs. After Romeo killed one of Juliet’s cousins in a duet, he was forced to leave the city. In order for Juliet to be with Romeo forever, she decided to fake her death so she can later escape to be with Romeo forever. However, Romeo returns to the city and finds that Juliet had already “died.” This led him to actuall...
