WWII Movie -- Defiance

[Blue Hen]

We just watched this WW2 movie and thought I'd share here. It is rated R, IMO, for language and violence. Powerful.

Here's what netflix says about it:
Daniel Craig stars as Tuvia Bielski, one of four Jewish brothers who escape from Poland into the forests of Belarus during World War II to lead a band of resistance fighters and create a safe haven for Jewish refugees. The real-life sanctuary established by the Bielski brothers saved more than 1,000 Jews from persecution and death. Liev Schreiber, Jamie Bell and George MacKay also star in this moving historical drama based on actual events.

Loved this movie. We also watched Valkyerie. Powerful stuff, courage.

I loved Liev Schrieber in this flick - we first saw him in Kate and Leopold and loved his comic timing. He is a great dramatic performer as well, imho.

I've been wanting to see this, thanks for the reminder.

We watched this with our then 16 and 14 yos. It is a powerful movie that provided us with some very rewarding conversations with our kids. So sad to have to dro...I mean look at Daniel Craig.:D
