I am not of Jewish decent and do not claim to understand the deep pain suffered during the Holocaust but their was something about the new Edward Zwick film, "Defiance" that simply destroyed me. It was the first film of its kind that spoke to me with words I felt akin. "Schindler's List" was a bit too clean, too neat. Powerful but I couldn't relate to its storytelling techniques. Sorry, Stephen.

Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, and the entire cast and crew delivered a modern rendering of a true story that made me feel I was in the trenches with them. My family being persecuted. My friends betraying me.

If you appreciate historical films and find yourself enjoying films most of your 30 to 50-something friends enjoy, spend the money and catch "Defiance" on the big screen. Even if you don't like crying in public.
