Symbols

Symbols:

One symbol in this movie was the little girl that wore the red coat. Oskar Schindler saw the little girl running into a house while he was sitting on top of a hill. This little girl really caught his eye. It was a big symbol in the movie, I know this because it was one of the very few times that there was a hint of color. This little girl represented the innocence’s of the Jewish people that were being slaughtered. Later in the movie we see this little girl again, she is laying in the cart with all of the dead people. This other hint of color represented the end or death of the innocence.

A second symbol that was spotted in the movie was at the very beginning; it was the candle light that was shown also in color. In the beginning of the movie the candle burning represents despair, or the loss of hope in the people. At the end of the movie when the candle is burning again it represents the hope that the people have gained throughout their tough times.
