Defiance.
Well this movie took place in WW2 and it was based the terrible things that the Jews had to go through. They were either put into concentrations and be starved and eventually be killed. The only option was to escaped the concentrations camps and live the old fashion way and live in the wilderness. Three brothers together face the challenges of helping out thousands of people escape from concentration camps. Then they were faced the responsibility of hundreds of more people.
The rules were strict and everyone cooperates. One of the rules was that no new born children. For obvious reasons the children required a lot of care that the woods could not provide. Unfortunately one of the rules was broken, and a child was born. The main leader was forced with the decision to kick the poor women out of the pack, but then realized it was not her fault that she was raped by a German Solider. One of the hardest part of surviving in the woods was the monstrous winter. This was a time were the morals of all the people living in the wilderness were put to the test. Some people became desperate and took advantage of the situation and broke the rules. The rules were harsh but were extremely reasonable. For example every one gets the same amount of portion of food. Some were starving to the point that they stole from the food that kept others alive. In this situation it was better to get ride of those people.
The climax of the story was when the Germans found their hiding spot, and almost destroyed them. Some fought fighting, and the lucky ones were able to escape to the swampy lands. The soldiers were close behind them, and they gave up hopes of ever getting away. Miraculously they picked up their spirits, and were able to escape from the German Soldiers. The three brothers and leaders of the camp help each other out, and together they managed to keep alive many people. Finally the Insane Hitler was defeated, and the Jews once again had their freedom. They were able to come out of hiding from the woods, and restart their lives again. I only mentioned a small portion of the things that this people had to go through. As you can see this takes guts
Over all the message that this movie was to be human. Not to let the hardships of life turn you into an animal. Try to help everyone out, even when your life is in danger. To take leadership in order to save hundreds of lives. That together nothing is impossible. That there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
