The blush on nature's face and the tremor of human mind. After the film changed from black and white to color, it meant the arrival of a new era, and color became an indispensable element in the film. In the film, different colors have different meanings. For example, red symbolizes enthusiasm and vitality, and blue symbolizes sadness and tranquility. Color enhances the appeal of movie pictures, and allows the audience to experience their psychological feelings more intuitively.

The use of color in Schindler's List is unique and impressive. The whole movie starts with a lighted candle, and the warm orange candle is slowly burned out in the Jewish family's prayer song, and the movie picture changes from color to completely black and white. Because Schindler's List is a war movie, which records the story of World War II, the director used this method of changing color into black and white in an ingenious way, which enhanced the authenticity of the film through documentary shooting, reflected the sense of historical dignity, objective narrative significance and expressed condolences to the deceased. At the same time, black and white also have their own symbolic meanings. During World War II, the inhuman massacre made Jews feel pain and despair in black and white, and the dehumanized Nazi Party was also numb in black and white.

In the film, the little girl in red who fled the street during the massacre is the only bright color in the whole black-and-white narrative, which brings a strong visual impact to the audience. The touch of red in the black-and-white picture represents the only glimmer of hope in that cruel world, but in the end, the girl still appeared in the pile of bodies, killing people's hopes. At the end of the film, the picture changed from black and white to color. After the war, the world came back to life and expressed good wishes.
