Defiance - A Story of Hope In a Dark Time

Advantages: Good acting - interesting story
Disadvantages: Of course very sad.

Defiance (2008) I went to the video shop and the first film that I saw was Defiance, which I had seen trailers for at the cinema. I was especially interested as I knew that it was based upon a true story. Basic Plot The plot centres upon brothers who have hidden out within the Belarussian forests; they are Jews who are trying to survive as the Nazi invasion progresses and friends and members of their family are killed. At first they are alone, but are very quickly joined by other Jews seeking refuge withing the cover of the forest.

Directed by Edward Zwick, a well known top film producer and director. Among his remarkable work are films such as Shakespeare in Love, The Last Samurai and Blood Diamond.

So Monday having a day off work I spent a lovely day with my boyfriend and took a trip down to the Cinema in Bath to see it. Cinema prices are so bad at the moment I hardly ever go anymore but I couldn't wait for this one to come out on DVD.
