Thursday night I watched the movie Defiance Starring Daniel Craig from James Bond: Quantum of Solace. This movie was based on a true story about 4 farm boys named the Bielski brothers. Zus the second oldest one and the 2 younger brothers see that there are German Nazis that are killing innocent Jews and hunting them down. When they return home they find that the rest of their family is dead and so they move out into the woods because the trees are good for protection and the Germans don't know the forests better then they do.
Waking up they catch up with the oldest brother Tuvia who has returned and has found them. Together they start a village in the woods, while Tuvia decides to get revenge on his fathers death, he walks into the German officer's house shooting him and his sons leaving that officers wife alive. The youngest brother finds other Jews in the woods to help join the village and help build. Zus told Tuvia that they don't have enough food and that they can't keep getting more mouths to feed
The brothers decide to go looking for food, supplies, and to kill some German soldiers. They found some food and supplies, but also set up an ambush to kill these Nazis on the road. People also got sick so they had to get medicine. The village also got destroyed by Nazis after the milk man ratted them out for stealing milk. After this they had to start over and make a new village.
When they were roaming around the brothers ran into some Russian Soldiers in the woods and they got in a talk saying things like "Jews don't fight" and then Tuvia responds "these Jews do." Finally the bad part of the movie Zus and Tuvia get in a fight splitting up leaving Zus with a group fighting and killing Germans with the Russians and Tuvia left as the great man protecting the village while winter hits.
Towards the end the Germans invade the forests causing the Jews with Tuvia to cross a swamp and after they crossed it of course there were soldiers on the other side to with a tank. Then Tuvia got his hands on a big gun and took out some soldiers but not the tank. Surprisingly Zus comes in all of a sudden and throws a grenade in the tank and the rest of the men finish off the rest of the Germans. This whole movie was during the time of World War 2.
Personal Thoughts: Over all I thought it was an outstanding movie! I really enjoyed it and i most definitely recommend this movie to other people studying World War 2. I thought it was sad how a woman in the village got raped by Nazi Soldiers and was pregnant in the village where Tuvia said "no pregnancies!" I also would be upset and sad about my family dying.
