Tuvia (Daniel Craig), the eldest son of the Bielski family, hid in the forest with his three younger brothers and surviving Jews after his hometown was bloodbathed by the Nazis. As more and more Jews joined, Tuvia and second brother Zus became leaders. Tuvia is old-fashioned, accepting more and more Jews, and trying to find food and daily necessities for everyone. When the surviving Jews were furious and desperate for revenge by the Nazi massacre, Tuvia said calmly: Our revenge is to live. We may be hunted like animals, but we won't become animals. If we should die, then it' ll be as human beings. When winter came, the food became less and less, Tuvia contracted typhoid fever, and several young and strong Jews took the opportunity to make trouble. Tuvia decisively shot the leader and maintained the order of the camp. The typhoid fever is over, the winter is over, the Germans found the people in the forest, Tuvia took everyone and started to flee, going through hardships to get out of the forest, but in front of an open swamp, some people in the team began to cry, facing the difficulties that followed. , Tuvia was also weak, and finally, everyone walked out of the swamp with the encouragement of the third brother Asael. I always thought that Daniel Craig might only be suitable for playing tough guys like 007, but in this film, Daniel Craig played Tuvia's prudence, hesitation and weakness in a remarkable way.
The second child of the Bielski family, Zus (Liev Schreiber), was bent on revenge, and finally brought a few Jews to join the nearby Red Army guerrillas, but was often laughed at by the Soviets for their cowardice. Gradually in battle, Zus gained the respect of the Soviets, but when Tuvia came to the Red Army camp to ask for typhoid medicine, the Soviets refused to help the Jews. So, Zus and his Jewish partner took Tuvia to attack a German radio station, and told Tuvia to wait for them in the car. The radio station was soon full of gunshots. Tuvia subconsciously went to get the gun, but couldn't move the nest. Go in or wait here, continue to wait or turn away, Tuvia is very conflicted and intense, just a few minutes may feel as long as centuries, Zus is injured and stumbles out with medicine in his pocket, the rest All of his friends have been sacrificed, and the plot of the hero's immortality is still unavoidably rendered. Liev Schreiber played the bear man in X-men Origin, but I thought the role of Zus would suit him better.
Movies with women generally have love, and beautiful flowers can bloom even in the most difficult circumstances. Asael (Jamie Bell), the third child of Bielski's family, fell in love with Chaya and held a wedding on a snowy day. This is the purest and most beautiful part of the entire film. With the violin's sobbing solo, snowflakes filled the sky. Flying, the silver-white world is filled with the cheerful and sweet atmosphere of love, while the dignified Zus and the Red Army guerrillas are silently preparing to ambush. Asael and Chaya finished exchanging rings and stepped on the balloon under their feet, the gunshots of the ambush also started. I really like Jamie Bell. I have been following him since I watched Billy Elliot starring him. Back then, a kid with a London accent also came to Hollywood. I saw him in King Kong. This time, Asael in Defiance gave him more More space to play, I look forward to him getting out of the big boy image soon.
Unlike the mainstream sensational film Schindler's List, Defiance's characters are richer and vividly portray the bravery, cowardice, kindness, and ugliness of all kinds of ordinary people in the face of difficulties and even death. I remember the film pianist a few years ago, the German officer Henryk saw Szpilman holding a can in front of him like a ghost, he couldn't help but ask what are you doing here, the frightened Szpilman subconsciously answered to open the can, when was the war in China The film can also be made more humane.
