Defiance was the one with the super jews right?? That entire movie was overdone, over acting, etc.
@Nuttcase, I forgot to mention Coraline, I did actually watch that a few weeks ago and it was pretty good because it was so different than the norm.
I'm going to check out Gomorra & The Brothers Bloom, thanks.

Yeah I hate jews yet Leon Trotsky is my idol.
The movie subject was good, a piece of history forgotten or rarely discussed. However the director did a poor job directing the movie. The dialog was utter shit, the melodramatic loves scenes were corny, and much if it was simply the directors views of things.
For example, the depiction of the Soviet troops as a drunken anti-Jewish scumbags is out of line and speaks more to the views of the the director than history itself. After all it was the Soviets who lost the most against the Germans; over 25 million Russians died by the hands of the Germans.

Defiance never addresses the question of why it was that the Bielski partisans were not only the largest of the Jewish resistance groups, but also the most successful in saving lives. While geography played a role—a rural, forested area versus an urban setting—the answer must also lie in political-historical factors.
Less than 20 years before the German invasion of Belarus, the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic—established in 1919—became a founding member of the USSR in 1922. The working class in Russia was only able to conquer power in 1917 by winning the support of the majority of the oppressed nationalities throughout the old Russian Empire. The Bolsheviks proclaimed the equality and sovereignty of all the Soviet peoples to allay any suspicion of a continuation of Great Russian chauvinism (a policy later overturned by Stalin). It is again worth noting that in the film, Zus invokes this legacy of equality when opposing anti-Semitism among the Soviet forces.
If the spirit of resistance was readily accessible to the Bielskis, it must have had something to do with the fact that the Belarusian working population had experienced the October Revolution and the three years of civil war against foreign, counter-revolutionary invaders from 1918 to 1921. This is a closed book for the filmmakers, who are more comfortable with the theory of the hero as an abstract type.
