Watch Uprising For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

Absolutely the worst movie.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This rates 7 for addressing the issue of Poles, Jewish councils and police who were complicit in these horrors. It's perhaps not in it's scope to mention the Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian & Ukrainian Einsatzgruppen responsible for so many atrocities, or even the mob violence that happened in many of these areas. It's always best to blame the SS, even the Germans do. But then it gets into fantasy land, they all look like Israeli freedom fighters, their armbands are the flag of Israel not the hated star of David imposed by the Nazis. It also fails to relate the importance of the Russian army proximity, and the Free Polish government in England. Any Polish risings were doomed as the Russians would not fight someone else's war.

There are so many movies made in Hollywood with different themes and placed in many time periods. About wars, the mafia, about all kinds of events and situations. Regardless of genre, time and space, all movies are spoken in English. Whether it comes to discussions between the Russian mafia members, Chinese, whether it's a movie about Japanese, or as we're talking about world wars, the Hebrew, Polish, German soldiers. Whether you're talking about movies based on true events, with a character who goes from a concentration camp in Bulgaria, traverses many other countries and arrive in Norway (I am David). As Incultura in America, that a subtitled film would be a disaster to the public? Mel Gibson was claiming that the films he has directed to the language spoken in the area and referred to the action. original and daring. The remaining films, from this point of view, are a step behind. Americans not only know how to speak English. But to their surprise, in this world there are other people, other continents, countries, other people, other cultures, other languages. Only their quality is that there are many. Of curiosity, you know how many people do not know English?

One writer says that the film is historically inaccurate BECAUSE it portrays the Poles falsely. Well, it's not a film about the non-Jewish Poles, it's a film about the Jewish Poles. And while the AK Polish underground organization may have helped the uprising, technical support and so on, the fact is, they weren't in a position to be of much strategic help, simply because of the overwhelming might of the Germany Army of occupation. Remember too, that those Poles who took and active part in the resistance, AK or otherwise, were a very small minority of Poles, just as very few Frenchmen ever fought with the Maquis or other resistance units. That said, I'd be interested to know if the AK, or other Polish groups – and let's not forget that the Polish resistance was deeply divided along ideological lines, fighting with itself as well as against the Germans – did anything of value to prevent Wermacht units/SS units/ police units from getting to the scene of battle. One suspects they did not, not least because of the high levels of anti-Semitism that existed in Polish society before the war (and again afterward; numbers of concentration camp survivors were murdered in Poland in the aftermath of the German defeat). So the movie is historically accurate in portraying a certain level of anti-Semitism in Polish society. To be absolutely accurate is not possible in a filmed drama, but I would say that the tone of the film, the tone of relations between much of Polish society and Jewish Poland, is generally accurately rendered. It's nice to have a few minor corrections, but they don't change the overall dismal picture of Jewish/Polish relations. Even the great Trilogy indulges itself in a few (moderately) anti-Semitic stereotypes, suggesting that such notions were widely accepted in pre-war Polish society.

I enjoyed this movie very much. Needless to say I am a fan of the actors and actresses that played in this movie, they all did an outstanding job. Unlike most movies, here, there is truly no mercy for the hero, because there isn't one. Some might dislike this approach, I for one find it very unique. If you don't enjoy movies regarding the 2nd World War, then you will feel as though you have wasted a little over 3 hours. But if you don't mind the occasional story considering WWII, then this is definitely not a waste of your time. A lot of care has been taken into strongly illustrating the goal of the rebellion Jews. It is clearly shown that they will stop at nothing to reach their ultimate objective, even if that means sacrificing their own life. Because the aspiration is not to survive, but to make a stand and fight back. The movie has been given a slight darker tint, which in some movies means that the overall mood is glum and tired, here it means ambitious fury, and a vicious will. Good acting, and a strong, progressive, head-strong plot.
