反抗军

    《反抗军》没有针对灵魂的问诘。
     但是，他给了一个真实的反抗军领袖——这个人不是耶稣，不是先知，他在带领犹太人逃离德军追杀的时候，面对小小沼泽也会无助得失声痛哭，无法分开那一点点的水，他面对众人蜂拥来朝的时候，也会骑着高头大马，高傲无比。
     这是人类的特性，理性的哲学思考了那么多年，只能承认，人永远具备这种惰性。佛教说这是无数次轮回的习气，而喜欢康德哲学的中国教授邓晓芒也想不出办法解决，只好提出中国人应该承认“小人之德”的理念，不要天天喊着圣人的理想，因为大部分人是无法做到的。那些所谓做到的古人，真的有多少人是真实不虚的呢？朱熹，王阳明？连中国最后一位儒家的梁漱溟也在青年时代发现自己的理想与自己身体所能达到的境界背离得如此之远，而想着一死了之……

好像说远了……

关于战争：
煽动起战争的人是那些不需要冲杀到前线的人。
而由于被杀戮而起来反抗的人只是基于对生存的渴求。
我们口中的战争都是没有经历过战争的人的美好臆想。作为已经学会协同合作的灵长类动物，战争是最荒谬和最愚蠢的行为。
你可以像西部牛仔一样对看不顺眼的人发起挑战，也可以像古代的侠客一样除暴安良，但是你不能利用群体的某种情节而煽动起战争。这难道不是最无益和最自私的解决办法吗？

关于领袖和管理：
这部片子其实更像是一部管理学的教案。如何组织团队，如何传递信念、如何解决团队中必然存在的利益分配问题、如何解决领导力收到威胁的境况。如果你是一个管理者，这个片子将让你有所收益。负责任、坚定立场、付出以及保持自己的领导风格，都是一个好的领袖需要具备的素质。
有一句话，一直让我受益匪浅，那就是：只有发展才能解决所有问题。让你的团队在任何时刻都动起来，并且保持哪怕是0.01个percents的发展，就可以保持矛盾的弱化，让你有精力去解决余下的和即将面临的问题。一旦发展受阻，不光问题被放大曝光，很多原本不存在的问题也慢慢冒出来，这个时候作为一个领袖就会非常被动。就像Tuvia一度遭遇到的内部问题一样。有人甚至还想回到纳粹的集中营去。那还是要人命的集中营，如果是开出比你待遇好的对手公司呢，你的队伍可能不跨也散了吧？

关于时代和生命：
如果你在抱怨你生不逢时，那我宁愿劝你感谢主和菩萨让你生在此时此地。时势造英雄不假，前提是你能有幸成为功成的一将而不是枯死的万骨。再者，如果需要战争来获得个人的荣耀和光环，我们宁可不要，不是吗？
剧终时有一段很有意思的字幕，说Tuvia兄弟至死也没有为他们所做的一切追求过任何认可。我想这不是很自然的事情吗？团结的结果来自抱团取暖的需要，而有了团队，就需要有人站出来，仅此而已。应该让一个团队感谢一个领袖，还是让一个领袖感谢一个团队，经历战争的荒谬和无力，这个问题简直不值一提。我相信包括Tuvia在内的所有人只希望不要再有战争和杀戮。
在任何一个时代，人性的泯灭将是生命最大的不幸。所以，感谢这个时代，谴责任何一个国家在进行的或大或小的战争，同时不要再说起台海战争时那么眉飞色舞。如果海岸的另一边住着你的亲人，这样的话题可能会让你纠结一点吧。但是，普通的人与人之间同样需要爱和仁慈之心，如你和你的亲人一样。我们不会是成为挑起战争的人，也不要成为任何理由下被挑起的战争中的一份子。

只有和平，才能让人拥有内心的安乐！！！

The history of Belorussia in World War II is largely ignored at best. Given that, it has become so much harder to depict the story of the Bielski Partisans on the big screen. Only the fact is clear: that the Bielski brothers managed to save over 1,200 Jewish people by hiding in the Nalibocka forest from the mean war machine of the Nazis. What the Partisans did was hardly imaginable today, and may involve some extreme moral challenges that cannot be pictured without causing a emotional discomfort of the audiences.

Good for the director Edward Zwick, he did not mean to compare the Bielskis with Steven Spielberg’s German Righteous among the Nations Oskar Schindler, nor did he want to produce a sentimental and moving epic as Schindler’s List. He was very clear about the idea of the picture when he set out to make it: to tell a story about how Jewish people defy their fate of being slaughtered, not that about their being killed and rescued by Germans.

The story-telling may not be a tour de force like that of Schindler’s List, nor does the film has a nemesis character like Amon Goeth, yet the viewing pleasure is not reduced. As always, Edward Zwick did not insert a stereotype evil character into his film, but throw us directly into the historical and ethnic environment of the movie’s settings, and reveal layers and layers of conflicts. Again in this movie he managed to depict complex interaction between multitudes of humanity and a dramatic age full of overwhelming events, while keeping the audiences’ fist clenched and them sitting at the edge of the chair.

A central conflict in this movie is brought to the face of our protagonists by their very purpose: to survive and defy the fate that has descended on their nation. In the huge, all-devouring grinder of the war, to escape being victims, the only way is to become the ones who impose destruction on the enemies. This brings the fundamental conflict into play: to what extent can one gain power while sustaining empathy and humanity. All the other conflicts, such as those between Jewish combatant and non-combatant, and between Jewish and German people, are all developed around the fundamental conflict. These conflicts work as prisms, which refract multiple facets of human nature, which makes the landscape of war more alive and more realistic. The behaviours of the groups of Jew is no longer innocent or morally perfect as some other war movies depicted, but are convincing and arousing compassion.

The director has done a good job telling a story of people in desperate conditions, and was greatly helped by a group of great actors, although many of them are not famous. Although not without caveats, in most part the acting is natural and compelling. You would feel that those are really Jewish people in that time, beaten-up, self-preserving, yet willing to fight beside their charismatic leader. Being often seeing real-life Jewish people, I thought Daniel Craig was too British to act as a Jewish leader, but he really brings out the leader’s spirit. Yet in some action scenes he still reminds me of Bond.

Although the story can well be adapted into a high profile action movie, or at least an epic movie with the excitement of Last Samurai, Zwick has chosen to reflect the day-to-day struggle and sacrifice in the forest, this may make the movie less a block buster, but surely is not a bad thing if we consider its values in preserving a piece of forgotten history. Although there are some inconsistency in the plot, and the first half was a bit slow, Defiance is nevertheless one of the best movies depicting the brave struggles in WWII.

1。才过了3天，竟然已经想不起来结局是什么，有哪几个主要人物。。。
2。总的感觉就是一部好莱坞八股电影。（如果不是好莱坞拍的，也请原谅我的无知，因为它实在太像了。）

我总觉得电影还是比较真实，毕竟及时在一个内部也会有不停的争吵和纠纷。甚至于理念的不同。在那样的时刻，能活下里就是最大的革命了。且男主角也并不那么英勇伟大，也曾不知所措。毕竟他有太多的东西需要考虑。
但一方面，我又觉得电影有点假。让人难以入戏。丹尼尔的演技还是比较一般，这种需要深层内心世界的戏码对于他来说多多少少还是有点吃力。
