COMMENTS
The true story of four brothers Bielski, in the years of World War II in Belarus by the Nazis they strive to conquer. After the murder of his parents, with the help of local collaborators negligible, Tuvia Bielski takes refuge in the woods with his three brothers, assuming the leadership of a small Jewish community that will grow over time. Survival is the goal, and the enemy is not only the invading German, also the winter cold and hunger ravage. Imposes strict rules: all must have their time and perform tasks that benefit the group, according to his knowledge, forbidden have children in such harsh conditions would be an unbearable burden, we must adhere to a strict discipline. Of course, comply with all this is not easy, and disagreements arise. Thus, Zus Bielski prefers direct fight with the Germans, and leave the group to join the Russian army as a partisan, an expert in sabotage. Edward Zwick, the director, has become a true specialist in filming war movies, with the notable merit of the combat actions to the viewer can understand less seasoned: This film manages to include scenes vibrant warriors, like the bombing of forest, or the group of soldiers caught in the crossfire, the the night attack of one German, with short levels slowed in a very original, a positive surprise. No doubt the skill of cinematographer Eduardo Serra and the musical score with great violin James Newton Howard contribute and much to the success of the passages of war. But not only good moments of live military action genre, and Zwick and his screenwriter Clayton Forman also know to build a fair and human history, avoiding concessions that would reduce the reality that war is a complete horror, that brutalizes and degrades . It is true that initially the long narrative moves forward with a somewhat cold, unemotional, and that the brothers are introduced somewhat abrupt. But little by little they are outlining the twigs of a story, if somewhat tiresome, it is solid. So, paint the characters and the dilemmas that must face, especially the three brothers with greater presence, Tuvia and Zus mented - Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber - who are well, content-wise, more Asael - Jamie Bell - . And with realism, including situations in which the thirst for revenge on other attitudes which are necessary and forgiveness and compassion when it comes to exercise control, decision making is very cruel, including death, and also produce moments that the flagging energy, as regards the non-breeding is a striking counterpoint limiting case, introducing the necessary humanity in a very questionable standard, the chosen faith of Jewish people living with despair, reflected in the rabbi's prayer sad. Also, with a few strokes, the just, loving relationships are pointed out that the brothers star (Based on www.decine21.com).
HISTORY REFERENCE
Tuvia Bielski belonged to a peasant family in Stankiewicz, near Novogrudok. At 17 he joined the Zionist pioneer movement and in 1928 he was mobilized for the Polish army, reaching the rank of captain. He married in 1930 and settled in the village of Subotnik, where he opened a shop in textiles. In September 1939, the area was annexed by the Soviet Union.
At the time of the German invasion in June 1941, Bielski was mobilized. When the Germans invade the region, fled to forests and from there to their place of birth. After their parents and other family members were killed in the ghetto Novogrudok, Zusya Bielski and his brothers, Asahel and Aaron fled to the forests. Having obtained weapons, created a partisan group, composed mostly of family members. Tuvia elected commander, sent emissaries to the ghettos of the neighborhood, calling on Jews to join their group. Hundreds of them, men, women and children, flocked to the camp Bielski partisan group to grow its day, including Jews Diatlovo. Bielski
learned to fight as a partisan and considered the salvation of Jewish lives as a supreme goal. His band inspired terror in the region of Novogrudok, when Belarusian police retaliated and peasants massacred Jews. The German authorities offered a reward of 100,000 marks to those who help capture him. By creating a group of Jewish partisans in the forests of Naliboki, Belsky won the confidence of the Soviet partisans in the vicinity, especially their leader, General Platon (Yehimovich Vasily Chernyshev). Bielski
opposed sus 150 combatientes se unieran a los soviéticos, dejándolo con civiles refugiados en el campamento y para frustrar este intento, transformó su base en un campo de mantenimiento para los soviéticos. Su grupo no era una banda partisana en el sentido regular, sino un campamento familiar judío en el bosque, con una sinagoga, una corte de justicia, talleres, una escuela y un dispensario.
En el verano de 1943, iniciaron los alemanes una caza masiva en el bosque de Naliboki para destruir a las fuerzas partisanas, especialmente la de Bielski. Los partisanos retrocedieron a los sectores más densos del bosque y el comandante del área de Bielski le ordenó reducir su unidad e incluir solamente a los hombres solteros con sus armas; hombres married, women and children had left the area where the unit was not to follow the fighters into the forest. Knowing that this order was a death sentence for civilians of their group, Bielski disobeyed and went to the most dense with all his people. Combatants to protect civilians, until they could leave and escape the Germans around them. In the summer of 1944 with the release of the area, and 1,230 Bielski partisans, known as "Kalinin", marched towards the city of Novogrudek. Asael was killed in combat as a soldier of the Soviet army in Königsberg in 1944.
After the war, Bielski returned to Poland. The same year, 1945, he moved to Palestine and in 1954 emigrated to America with his two surviving brothers.
