Finally a Film that offers a Differenct perspective of WWII

Rating: 6/10 (24 November 2012)

I am in doubt over its historical accuracies on the Bielski guerilla, but I have to say I am impressed with this film. It is not made like any other war movie nor any other action movie, but a film about survival which gives a really fresh new look on a war period which is over-glamourised in films for so long.
Although this means a great lack of action and the usual casualties of war, all these are compensated by a bold testimony of their commitment to never stop being strong and stay alive for each other.
Nevertheless, the plot could have been made much better. Some scenes are unnecessary and some could be improvised. Although there are scenes that are pretty solid and deliver strong messages that keep me glued on despite a slow pace. Individual performances are just right and satisfactory, everyone acted really well for their roles including Craig.
I am glad to come across a film where some Jews, in WW2, died by natural death and not by the hands of the Germans. Probably the best reason why i don't hate this film ( In fact Schindler's List failed to impress me).
