Great movie about survival and humanity.

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2009)

Saw this movie last night and have to say that overall, I was pleased. This isn't Zwick's best, but I'm certain it's one of his best.
The story centers on the Bielski brothers that struggle to survive from the Nazi's persecution and against all odds achieve to live in the forest with many of other Jew survivors that they helped to escape from German hands.
I'm not going to say it all, because in reality, the movie itself talks about survival, and of course, the director handles us some pretty good action scenes of his trademark during the entire movie. Daniel Craig possibly gives us one of his best performances in his entire career, as well as Liev Schreiber that personifies brilliantly the cold Zus Bielski.
The languages' alternating idea was pretty interesting and gave a lot more of realism to the movie.
The tape is a powerful, realistic peace of history and teaches a lesson of survival and human cooperation. However, I think it was way underrated by the public and somehow forgotten. Shame, because it's a great movie recommended to all WWII and History lovers - 8/10.
