His name is Bielski. Tuvia Bielski. It may seem unfair, Daniel Craig again on his world-saver image as James Bond festzunageln when he tried an ambitious role in a film long off trying. Solo, as he in "Defiance - unbending" during the Second World War as a Jewish resistance fighter in the forests of eastern Poland against Nazi occupiers and collaborators fights, which is now quite the act dictates of classical drama Action: This man has no chance, but he uses them .
His will is strong, the body is tough, do the rest the instant firearms. So is Daniel Craig the Holocaust Actionhero.
The handling of this big-Bugdet thriller is operated with history, is casually mention. And that begins with introduction of the names cited by Craig embodied hero: The name was at the time of the events have taken place, namely on the Tewje Bielski. Tuvia said he only later, after he moved to the end of the war in the United States had emigrated.
At first glance this may appear as a secondary detail - but it leads directly into a battle for ultimate truth, which long before the cinema release of "Defiance" was raging in Poland. There is, to say the major disagreement about the person Bielski.
The historical data base, however, everyone acknowledged: In the impenetrable forest area around the village Naliboki - then eastern Poland, now Belarus - Tewje Bielski went with his brothers in 1941 in the subsoil, in order of deportation by the Nazis and their helpers to escape. Hundreds of Jewish refugees from the ghettos joined them. The brothers founded in the forest, therefore, a sort of kibbutz, including school, hospital and synagogue. Gut 1200 people survived in this way, until 1944 the Red Army advancing into the area. So far the facts.
Divergence of opinion in Poland, however, if the aim is to reconstruct how the Bielskis succeeded in their "Jerusalem in the forest" by icy winter and hunger to bring periods. The press complained nationalpatriotische before the Polish cinema release of "Defiance" in January, the brothers were the villages of the region and robbed each resistance of farmers brutally crushed. To them has been charged with the massacre in the village Naliboki in which 128 civilians died. Now is regarded as evidence that the act on account of red partisans went.

But even liberal media in Poland to do with the glorification of the Bielski brothers by Hollywood heavy. Two authors of the "Gazeta Wyborcza", which is for a book project extensively into the subject have characterized a rather dubious image of the resistance fighter Tewje. As a drunkard and womanizer, he had the ever-growing flow of refugees only against the making of jewelry, gold love and service access in its community grants.
Today's resistance to the historical resistance, as in "Defiance" is drawn, can not really surprising when you are looking at how awful schluderig dimensional and the figure of the Bielski embodied by Daniel Craig is. So much pathos times now provokes defense: Even in the largest vodka noise - in terms of alcohol consumption must be the makers actually facts attest loyalty - Bielski shows his unerring sense of justice. On horseback monitored Jewish nature of the processes lad in his camp, has weakly intellectuals in craft works, but also defends against attacks crude peasants.
Finally a man of action!
So it may be the filmmaker Edward Zwick ( "Blood Diamond") shot through the head, when he first got involved with the Bielski biography was confronted. As the son of Jewish immigrants, the Hollywood director himself by many members of the genocide in Poland, lost in the masculine instinct Bielski now people might have seen someone Zwick, his fate is not revealed who is not "like cattle to the slaughter" can lead wanted.

As befits the plot dictates of the classical action shocker heard overcomes the muscle man in "Defiance" the predominance. The militant discipline goes hand in hand with a moral. But actually it took only one ethical charismatic to the systematic mass murder of the Nazis a Snip Chen to beat? And this is implied in the film questions not already in itself a trivialisation of genocide?
It is therefore not so much the historical inaccuracies, the "Defiance" a very dubious pleasure. It is much more nassforsche the naivety with which the genocide here as background for a male self-drama is functionalized. So much grief, so much testosterone was seldom in a Holocaust film.
Finally, it is really bad then: Bielski leads women, children and old people from the Nazi persecutors through the swamps, the chance to escape go to zero. But just when he last heroic battle to compete, hurrying his brother with Russian partisans to help. The Germans, who will have pity because, in a powder-fated steam, ten dahingemetzelt action sequence. The world has never seen: the Shoah as a shootout.
