Review: Defiance
Posted: Sat Jan 24, 2009 3:23 pm
We saw Defiance last night and give it two thumbs up. The movie isn't perfect. The direction is heavy handed in places and the accents could use some work. However, it was a good movie overall and I recommend it for the emotional impact and history lesson. It's especially worth seeing for civil rights activists and people whose grandparents came from Eastern Europe. The movie serves as a reminder of the true motivation behind efforts to infringe RKBA and why we need to fight those efforts, no matter how much they try to sugar coat their denial of a basic human right.
Wikipedia wrote:Set in the eastern regions of German Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II, the film is an adaptation of Nechama Tec's Defiance: The Bielski Partisans, which is based on the true story of the Bielski partisans. Tec's book told how Polish Jews came together for common protection and to oppose the German occupation of their homeland.
