Although there were a lot of problems, the main feature of Resident Evil was the movement of the characters in a specific scene, and the fear of the unknown came from the blind spots. They did this very well. Also, because of the graphics engine, the characters' facial features weren't very high, and they were relatively clean. Therefore, just looking at the character model, there wasn't much difference, so Adriaan didn't pay too much attention to it.
Of course, the environment was too cartoonish and the decryption system was too weak. The success of the first two Resident Evil games was due to the combination of action and decryption system, as well as the relatively realistic environment. They could do whatever they wanted with the characters, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Since Resident Evil was already being made into a game, Tomb Raider naturally wouldn't fall behind. Moreover, the game company was already taken over by Claude. When Adriaan asked if they could adapt this novel into a game, he received a small surprise. Eidos Games Company had already read this novel at the beginning of the year and was interested in it. However, when they requested to adapt it, they were rejected by the publishing company that Adriaan had already told them about. Plus, Eidos was still a bit unknown at this time, so he didn't know about this.
Now that Adriaan found them, it was like finding a pillow when dozing off, and they hit it off. Therefore, the game version of Tomb Raider was already being developed. But now, with Adriaan, the "original author", giving suggestions from time to time, the game was bound to be different, but the most different was the character image of Laura.
As for what the difference was, that could be discussed later. The most important thing was already in front of them with the arrival of Christmas.
…
At the beginning, it was a colorful scene. A few Jews and their children stood around a table, looking at two lit candles, and singing a Hebrew song. As the candlelight gradually faded, the characters disappeared, leaving only the rough song echoing. Finally, the candlelight went out, and the scene turned completely black and white.
Spielberg was indeed one of the best storytellers, easily capturing the audience's eyes.
Then, as the subtitles of Nazi Germany's occupation of Poland appeared, scenes of the Jews' suffering were shown on the screen. They were searched, beaten, and manipulated. The black and white scenes made these scenes seem even heavier and more unbearable.
Then, the male protagonist appeared. This businessman named Oskar Schindler was tall, handsome, and sociable. He quickly became friends with the Nazi officers and successfully got what he wanted, such as the opportunity to hire Jews who didn't need to be paid.
At this time, Schindler was still a pure businessman. All he thought about was how to seize the opportunity to earn more money.
"Forgive me for being so bold, but they provided the money, and I did the work. What about you?" Stein, the accountant chosen to manage the company, came to Schindler's office and asked after listening to his plan. Schindler's answer was, "I'm in charge of the company's public relations and publicity. My specialty is image design, not work."
"Of the people I know … won't be interested," Schindler said after sitting for a while.
Having said that, there was no better choice for the Jews who were in a more and more difficult situation. Therefore, Schindler's factory was finally built. However, Schindler also used this opportunity to think of ways to save his compatriots. He taught the girls who knew nothing about cooking how to make kitchen utensils. He forged the certificate of a hardware grinder for the history teacher.
Schindler also knew about this, but he didn't care. He liked wine and women, and he liked a luxurious life. As long as Schindler kept making money for him, he didn't care. Until one morning, a few German soldiers stopped the factory's car and asked the employees to get out of the car to sweep the snow on the street. They pulled out a one-armed old man and ignored his "I'm an important technician" voice. They laughed and shot him dead in the snow.
"He's a press operator. His skills are good." Schindler went to question the Nazi officers. When he was ridiculed by the "one-armed technician", he said this with a cold expression. Not long ago, the one-armed old man went to the factory's office to thank Schindler for saving his life. Although Schindler didn't say anything at the time, he warned Schindler in private, "He knows what he's doing. Don't do it again."
Some people would eventually change, but this change was far from enough.
The living conditions of the Jews worsened further. Schindler, who didn't bring his work permit, was caught on a train that was heading to an unknown destination. Fortunately, Schindler threatened the escort officer who was unwilling to cooperate and was too lazy to find a "lowly" Jew. "Very good, sir. What are your names? I promise you will appear on the frontlines in the east next week. "
Then, with the help of the officer who gave in, they found Schindler before the train left.
"Stupid, if I came five minutes later, what would you have done?!" Schindler reprimanded Schindler, and the subtle friendship between the two was revealed.
Styne was undoubtedly lucky. When they left the station, the employees immediately escorted the large and small bags of personal luggage that should have been placed on the train to a nearby warehouse. The Jews on the train didn't need these, because this train was going to take them to hell. Dead people didn't need luggage.
The Nazis had taken everything from them, not even the gold teeth in their mouths. The bags of teeth lying on the table and the dull eyes of the Jewish employees who had been ordered to sort through these items were a shocking sight to behold.
Finally, there was a low sob in the silent theater.
The new concentration camp was built, and the time of slaughter was about to begin. Under the leadership of the demonic Nazi officer, the German soldiers began to carry out a premeditated massacre of the Jews in Krakow.
There was no mercy. A German soldier reprimanded another soldier who shot someone just because he almost shot him. There was no resistance. The only thing the Jews could do was to hide and commit suicide in their own way.
They didn't treat the Jews in front of them as human beings. In their eyes, the Jews were no different from pigs and dogs. The German soldiers did everything they could to drag out those who were hiding and kill them. Gunshots rang out continuously, and the flames from the bullets kept flashing. At the same time, there was the leisurely sound of piano playing, and people discussing whether it was Bach or Mozart.
Schindler, who was on the hillside, saw all this. He saw the Jews being herded like sheep, killed by the roadside without any resistance. He saw a smear of red, a smear of red that made one's heart ache. The little girl in red stumbled among the crowd. Although she seized the opportunity to run into an empty room and hide under a bed, there was nothing she could do except cover her ears when the gunshots rang out.
Such a scene had an indescribable impact on Schindler. Later, when he had dinner with Armon and the other Nazi officers, Armon praised him for his well-made clothes. He maintained his usual demeanor and replied, "Thank you, I would like to give you a set, but the tailor might be dead."
Schindler started a drastic change. Although he didn't want to admit it, he did try his best to protect the Jews within his power.
"This is not power. You have enough reason to kill someone, but you don't. This is power, the power of the emperor." Faced with Armon, who was becoming more and more unscrupulous, Schindler said patiently.
At that time, Armon, who was a little drunk, seemed to have accepted the proposal. The next day, when he found out that the Jewish boy who cleaned his bathtub did not do a good job, he let him go. However, he immediately killed the boy with a rifle outside.
Schindler could only resort to other means. He kept bribing and thinking of ways to maintain the factory. The balance of the war finally began to tilt in favor of the Nazis. In order to cover up their crimes, the panicked Nazis dug up the dead Jews that they had buried hastily from the ground and sent them to the incinerator to be burned into ashes. For a time, the city was filled with this kind of "human ashes." In the pile of corpses that were dug up, Schindler once again saw the eye-piercing smear of red.
In the end, the concentration camp was about to be dismantled and all the Jews would be dealt with. Schindler found Armon again. Although his factory was also going to be relocated, he still needed a lot of workers. He could use money to exchange for people, so Armon asked him to give him a list.
In the dark room, Steyn read the names in a low voice while typing. Schindler paced around anxiously. His money could only allow him to take away a thousand people, which meant that the rest would be on the road to death.
"A little more, a little more, a little more …" He clutched his forehead and uttered the word "more" unconsciously.
"Outside of this list is hell," Styne muttered as he raised the list that he had just finished typing.
Even so, there was still a problem in the middle of the relocation. A group of women got on the wrong train and were taken to Auschwitz. Fortunately, Schindler arrived in time and exchanged a bag of diamonds for them. At this time, he didn't care about anything else. If he could save one more, he would save one more.
The days in the factory after the relocation should be a relatively relaxed time. They didn't have to worry about whether the products were up to standard or not, and they didn't have to worry about people coming in and dragging the Jews out and killing them, even though there were German soldiers guarding the place.
Finally, the news of Germany's defeat came. The German soldiers were prepared to deal with the Jews under such circumstances, but Schindler appeared again and tricked them into leaving. More than a thousand Jews finally survived.
The joyful survivors decided to give Schindler a gift to express their gratitude. A mechanic donated his hidden gold tooth and made it into a gold ring. However, when Schindler got his hands on the ring, sorrow rose from his heart.
"I should have been able to save more people." Tears welled up in his eyes. "I should have been able to save more people. If … if I could earn a little more money … if I wasn't so wasteful … this car … can be exchanged for at least ten people … this badge … two people … I could have done that … but I didn't …"
At this point, he was already sobbing uncontrollably. Accompanied by the sad sound of the violin, the dull theater was once again filled with low sobbing sounds. Like a chain reaction, more sobbing sounds rang out, and sorrow filled the air.
