 Courage and Survival December 9, 2009
Acute Observer (North Jersey Shore)

Defiance, 2006 film
In 1941 Germany occupied Belorussia. SS death squads and local police arrested Jews. Fifty thousand were murdered. Families were rounded up. A few escaped into the woods for safety. They shared scarce food. One man gets his revenge [but doesn't acquire arms or food]. More bad news arrives. The Bielski's become active in the resistance and learn from experience. They must survive and build shelters in the woods. More arrive. There is dissension, some will join another group of partisans. Tuvias asks people to flee into the woods. A watchmaker becomes a gunsmith. Women will learn to shoot. The group lives deep in the forest, snow is falling. Tuvia gets more food.
A young lady meets a wolf while carrying food. They requisition medicines from a police station. Tuvia develops a cough, but he is still in charge. A German officer is captured [believable?] and suffers his fate. There is a threat of a German attack, they will leave for a new location. An enemy airplane drops bombs. Some remain as a rearguard until they are overwhelmed. They pass across the swamp to safety [recalling the Red Sea]. "Keep moving!" An enemy tank and soldiers show up. It looks bad until help shows up. They continue to retreat into the forest. They built a new camp and were joined by new people over the next two years. The last scenes tell of their future. They never sought recognition for those they saved.
This motion picture is based in part upon actual events and people. Certain actions and characters were dramatized, some are entirely fictitious. The purpose is to tell a story about one part of history. These events happened in Belarus (White Russia) but the scenes were filmed on location in Lithuania. [Many names in the credits are Lithuanian.] The Bielski brothers lived in the country and had the skills and knowledge to survive in the woods, unlike city dwellers.

Polish Jewish Resistance December 8, 2009
Sarah L. Clayton (Springfield, MA USA)
I had read the book. The movie sticks closely to it and is very moving. A great action film.
Inspiring! December 5, 2009
Sonja (Chicago, IL)
Among my favorite movies. What the Bielski brothers accomplished is almost incomprehensible. Christians in particular ought to watch such movies to acquire both knowledge of history and moral courage.

I went out with a bunch of friends to see this movie and EVERY SINGLE PERSON HATED IT. I could not wait for it to end. Not a good buy!
