Supelice Dreadfully Boring
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
SnoopyStyle Poland surrenders to Germany in 1939. Jews are forced into the Warsaw ghetto. Adam Czerniakow (Donald Sutherland) is the head of the Jewish counsel and Kazik Rotem (Stephen Moyer) is his driver. Tosia Altman (Leelee Sobieski) is able to pass for Aryan and sneaks out to trade for food. Mordechai Anielewicz (Hank Azaria) fails to escape to Palestine and decides to stay for the fight. Yitzhak Zuckerman (David Schwimmer) is his best friend and Zivia Lubetkin (Sadie Frost) is his girlfriend. Calel Wasser is a Jewish policeman in the ghetto. Czerniakow struggles to save lives in the impossible position and Anielewicz berates him for co-operating. As Jews are deported to Treblinka, Czerniakow commits suicide and Anielewicz organizes the resistance. Dr. Fritz Hippler (Cary Elwes) is a German propagandist who made "The Eternal Jew". Major-General Jurgen Stroop (Jon Voight) takes over the operation to clear out the ghetto.This is quite a production for network TV. It's very high quality. There are a couple of questionable scenes where accuracy is concerned. There are some top-notched actors led by the great Donald Sutherland. I could probably do without Schwimmer. Still, it's great for what it is.
rusoviet ....David Schwimer's stating the uprising was longer than the Polish army's resistance to their initial invasion in 1939. If 28 days is the benchmark for the Jewish uprising the Polish resistance went from 1st September through 2nd October 1939 - there was solid combat still in place on the Hel Peninsula.Polish resistance would have exceeded 2nd October had the Russians not invaded prior to that on the 17th September. The Germans were very concerned of the Polish army retreating into the Pripet Marshes for a 'last stand' - Red army units eliminated that possibility.Let me say bluntly it is true there was little cooperation between the gentile Poles and Jewish Poles but there was also, unlike in the Netherlands, France etc., the added penalty of immediate execution if a Pole were found assisting Jews. I am well aware of the exploitation of Jews by Poles as well as the bigotry thrown at the Jews by Poles - even the post-war pogrom in Kielce in 1946. No denial of such. Then again the Red Army's NKVD were disproportionately made up of Jews that came in 1939 - this doesn't mitigate bigotry more a sad commentary on a very very sad time with truly horrific consequences to both Jewish Poles at the hands of the Nazis and gentile Poles at the hands of both the Nazis and Communists.Lastly most photos I have seen on Jurgen Stroop has him wearing that hat/cap used by most officers in the Afrika Korps - the one slightly resembling a baseball cap not the one Voight is shown wearing in the film playing Stroop.
bobbob_38 I enjoyed this movie very much. Needless to say I am a fan of the actors and actresses that played in this movie, they all did an outstanding job. Unlike most movies, here, there is truly no mercy for the hero, because there isn't one. Some might dislike this approach, I for one find it very unique. If you don't enjoy movies regarding the 2nd World War, then you will feel as though you have wasted a little over 3 hours. But if you don't mind the occasional story considering WWII, then this is definitely not a waste of your time. A lot of care has been taken into strongly illustrating the goal of the rebellion Jews. It is clearly shown that they will stop at nothing to reach their ultimate objective, even if that means sacrificing their own life. Because the aspiration is not to survive, but to make a stand and fight back. The movie has been given a slight darker tint, which in some movies means that the overall mood is glum and tired, here it means ambitious fury, and a vicious will. Good acting, and a strong, progressive, head-strong plot.
caspian1978 Hank Azaria is the new Rodney Dangerfield. Why? Because he gets no respect! For instance, Hank Azaria is the star of the movie. He does an excellent job with a polish accent. He must have spent months in the gym buffing up for the role and he is in most of the movie. Then again, he is not listed as the lead star of the movie. This honor goes to Leelee Sobieski, whom, is only in no more than half the movie and has very little lines. Then again, she did go nude for about 15 seconds. While you do not see Mr. Azaria's backside or front side, Ms. Sobieski covers some of what God gave her, while the rest is on display for the audience's liking. This is a good television movie. Powerful and entertaining. Still, this movie's fanbase is made up of teenage boys who want to see Leelee Sobieski's 15 seconds of nude fame. Pity, this is a decent movie and worth watching.David Schwimmer
