Rent it. Good movie.
Best movie regarding the holocaust I've seen yet (Schindler's List being next in line). I liked it because it was attempted as a accurate protrayal of true evernts (unlike say Pearl Harbor or the Holocaust TV series).
Correctly showed the good and bad on all sides and much like "Saving Private Ryan" had a "You are here" feel to it. It is nice that the hero's and villain's did not have to be manufactured but were based upon the actual events of real individuals.
Of interests is the contrast between those who literally laid down to be shot and those who particpated in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. And the depiction of the uprising was far more accurate than the TV miniseries of the same topic.

Bubba, if you've got Schindler's List next in line then you're putting a miserable, lie filled, POS movie high on "Steyr's List". Spielberg so distorted the truth in that film that the book's author, who had been hired to co write the screenplay, pulled out and sued to have his name removed from any connection with the production.
G--Damned Sprilberg just had to play the game that so many Hollywood Jewish Liberals indulge in; making the Jews totally helpless victims.
Remember the scene at the end of the film, when the Jewish workers are crowded down on the floor of the factory, the SS guards are up on the catwalks, on the verge of shooting the Jews, and Schindler talks them out of it? You know why they REALLY laid down their rifles and left? Because Schindler knew who he was dealing with, and had armed the Jews with G41 rifles, which were all being pointed at those Nazis. The whole damned film is loaded with shit like that.
Someday somebody is going to make a Holocaust film about the Jews who fought, and not just in Warsaw. The three Beilsky brothers headed a Partisan group that drove the Krauts crazy for two years, and ultimately held off a German armored battalion that went to the forest to try and root them out. Dr. Nethaniel Atlas headed up another gtoup in Poland.
The man who wrote the anthem of the Jewish Partisans, Hirsch Glik, escaped three times from Nazi concentration camps, and was killed just days before the Russians liberated his part of Lithuania; but he died with a rifle in his hands, facing his enemies.
When the Jews who make films start telling the stories of these people, I'll accept them as my brothers. Till then, I consider them no better than traitors to the people they spring from.
