A Different Take on the Year of the Holocaust
PostedJanuary 2, 2009

from Los Angeles, CA
This year there are a lot of options for fans of historical films of the WWII/Holocaust genre. In fact, as I write this, there is a Valkyrie add on my screen. Valkyrie, The Reader, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, among others.
Defiance is different. The story of the brothers standing up against tyranny, and seeing the oppressed become the oppressor is an interesting twist on an important part of human history.
This movie is very human. You will laugh, cry and cheer on the Jewish comrades moving through the forest. You will even be disgusted with the heroes at times. But it's definitely worth checking out.
I would probably rate the film at 4.5 stars, but in the spirit of the holidays I am rounding up.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
