After Schindler died in Schindler's List, why did people put stones on his grave?

It is a Jewish custom that people put stones on Schindler's tomb in Schindler's List.

Jews don't need living things (including flowers) to pay homage to the inanimate dead, so in future Jewish funerals, the respected dead are buried with stones. People who pay homage will bring stones from their hometown and put them in graves to show their respect.

Schindler's List is adapted from the novel of the same name by Australian novelist Thomas Keneally.

Director: Steven Allan Spielberg.

From 65438 to 0994, Schindler's List won seven awards, including the best film at the 66th Academy Awards.

At the end of the film, Schindler factory workers, accompanied by their actors, put stones on the tombstone hand in hand. This is a traditional custom for Jews to express their gratitude to the dead. Due to the unfortunate death of Stern 1969, Ben Kingsley was accompanied by Stern's widow.

The use of film language in Schindler's List is excellent. When the tragic experience of the Jews was shown, there was a scene of red. In the scene where the stormtroopers slaughtered Jews, the little girl in red formed a very strong contrast with the picture, which produced a visual effect with great artistic impact. When the little girl appeared again, she was already a corpse on the corpse transport car.

The ending of this film has its touching artistic charm. It reflects the Jews' infinite respect for Schindler, and at the same time makes the film have the artistic effect of reviewing history and making people think deeply, which greatly expands the performance space of the film.

Steven Allan Spielberg used a symbolic little effect as a foil, that is, the little girl in red. Every time Schindler looked at her, she strengthened her faith. She symbolizes innocent and fragile life, and also symbolizes the courage and strength to overcome evil, which is the only color in the film.
