Premise: Four Jewish brothers living in Nazi occupied Poland escape into the forest where they join up with Russian resistance fighters in battling the Nazis. Throughout the war they built a village inside the forest and saved the lives of more than 1200 other Jews. Based on a true story.
It was okay, not Schindler's List. It felt like it only scratched the surface of the story; missing any deep struggle. It had a lot of conflict, yet that seemed to be what was missing. For example, the film only touches upon how the people started towards Lord of the Flies territory, but it never goes past that one scene. The ending too was very abrupt, almost like it was part 1, with a scroll summing up the rest.
i love that trailers for this played before every movie for what seemed like a year and this is just the second response
