Defiance
(Based on the true story.)

    So this movie was about two Jewish brothers Tuvia and Zus Bielski who started up a Jewish camp. This was set back in time when Germany had just taken over Poland. This camp was set up to rescue Jews and keep them from going to concentration camps.They had just started with themselves and kept picking up Jews on their way. They set off to make a home in the woods. Everyone their had a job and was taught to fight and shoot, even the women. Soon enough they run into the Soviets and join the Russian Resistance. Eventually there was more people then there was food and winter was upon them. By the end of their time they had over 1,000 Jews in their camp.

     Zus and Tuvia get in a huge fight during this time of not a lot of food and Zus leaves for the Russian Army. Soon enough it is Spring again and Tuvia gets word that the Germans have spotted them and they are going to attack. He decides that they will leave the next day for a new place. However, they spot the German planes above and they know they are about to strike. Just a few seconds after word breaks out the Germans start dropping bombs all over the place. One hit really close to Tuvia, once Tuvia regains conscientious and the bombs stop he tells everyone to grab weapons only and leave while the select few will stay to fight off the Germans for when they come. Eventually the Germans come and start shooting so the Jews run and have to cross a large river to get safe. The Germans found them and came to fight. Zus came back with the Russians and fought with the Jews. Surprisingly the Germans lost. Later the Soviets finally took Poland back over and it was safe for the Jews again. The Bielski's had saved thousands of Jews lives and their families were grateful for it.

    This movie was a little difficult to follow since they all had thick accents and most of the time they were speaking another language and you had to read subtitles. I personally didn't like this movie because, it's just not my type of movie and I wouldn't really choose to watch this movie again.
