Defiance

This movie takes place during the holocaust in Belarus and the Germans are looking for the three Bielski brothers(Tuvia, Zus, Asael) who had escaped into the forest when the Germans came to their house. The Germans had killed their father and mother. Now the Germans are on a hunt to everybody's houses for the three boys. The brothers are striving for food and weapons and are in fear of being found. They have taken in a large mass of fleeing Jews. Women, men, children, and even the elderly. The brothers are trying to hide them in makeshift homes in the dark, cold and unforgiving forests. They have to raid farms and stores to get their foods. They are forced to move their camps every so often because of being discovered by the local police. Tuvia kills the local police chief responsible for his parents' death and the brothers stage raids on the Germans and their collaborators. Hiding Jews makes Tuvia reconsider his approach of attack. Seeing Tuvia and Zus do not get along well Zus leaves his brothers and the camp and joins a local company of soviet partisans. While Tuvia remains with the camp sas leader. The only good thing is the Soviet partisans agree to protect the Jewish camp in exchange for supplies. At the end all the boys live and spend to more years in the forest and build a hospital and school encountering 1200 Jews in their camp. Asael then dies when he joins the Soviet army and he never gets to see the child he fathered. The other two boys got over to The U.S but none of them never sought recognition for what they did.

This movie keeps you on your toes because you think that the brothers will get caught when the police come. It's sad thinking they did all this work to try to save people but they never got the recognition they deserved. I'm glad were actually people that would risk their lives to save the Jews lives!

The three brothers!

  • For some reason your pictures aren't showing up. Good job overall but perhaps break your info into shorter paragraphs as your first paragraph is quite long.
