It was quite good. Very powerful story. By no means as hard hitting or as much 'gravitas' as Schindlers List. But a good movie all the same.
Would be interesting to know just how true the story was and just how much had been dramatised for Hollywood. There were certain events seemed too coincidental and too 'written' to be true.
Also you never quite felt the plight or the true suffereing they must have gone through.
Still a good film and worth seeing.
Thanks Moray. I'm going to see "Defiance" for sure now. As far as WWII movies go, it's hard to top "The Pianist" and "Schindlers List" for me. "The Pianist" is probably my favorite movie ever. Did you see "Downfall" yet? I remember you saying you had it on DVD. It's really good and the story is told from a totally different perspective. Really interesting.
Yes, for me too and I would add Life is Beautiful. Such a beautiful movie. |

I would add 'Sophie Scholl' as well.
Btw, how good are German movies these days?! The said one, along with 'Das Leben der Anderen' were amazing. Also, I've seen 'Vier Minuten' some time ago and highly recommend it! |

Haven't seen Sophie Scholl, but I'm going to rent it this weekend. Thanks Megg! |

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
I actually thought Brad Pitt was attractive for once. |

| Seven Pounds. I didn't like it, I kinda expect something better or different, I guess it was too slow for me. Will Smith was ok though. |

The Hot Chick
It was on tv the other night and I laughed a lot, and I normally hate Rob Schneider films, but I enjoyed it. Rachel McAdams was the lead lady. |

So i watched the Pianist again last night. I'd bought it at the weekend when it was in the sale. Forgot how good a film that is. I ended up downloading the soundtrack immediately after as well. Still never got round to watching Downfall yet, I think I'd seriously need to be in the mood for it! |

| The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. The film is as long as the title, and quite slow. It would have been better if it was edited. Heavily. |
