Movie Reviews of Uprising
Movie Review: The Uprising
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent film/documentary on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. A must see for history buffs and anyone wanting to know more about WWII and the Holocaust. Very moving and leaves the viewer with a deep admiration for the brave men and women that, while knowing they could not defeat the Nazis, still preferred to fight until death. Movie Review: One of the More Violent Accounts.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Ghetto uprising was a violent event. This is not for young viewers. I believe it to be very accurate but it is horrifing to watch.
I think it is important to watch so we never forget but for this one you will be haunted for the rest of your life as well you should be at the horriable things done to innocent people.
Movie Review: Uprising is worth the time
Summary: 5 Stars
Uprising is a great movie to watch if you have or have not read any of the books on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It seems to follow the Kazik book and is a little long but worth the time. I started watching it and eventually my whole family ended up in the living room watching it with me. My daughter has been studying the Ghetto Uprising so she knew as much as I did but my husband and son got alot of information from the film that they knew nothing about. It has a great cast. Big name stars and filmed really well. I would recommend this film to anyone.Movie Review: Rivetting Epic
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not read or seen much about the Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, so "Uprising" was a bit of an unknown factor to me. With some big names, and some surprising casting choices, I have to admit that I was very impressed with the movie overall.
The story follows some young Jews who decide to resist the Germans in the face of numerous obstacles. Firstly, the lack of materials was acute, but interestingly they had trouble mobilising their own people and the Jewish community's leadership, who still saw hope of compromise. The impact of their scout finding out the final destination of the trains transferring Jews from Warsaw was significant, to say the least.
I have to admit being surprised and initially sceptical about David Schwimmer, (having not seen him in Band of Brothers, where he was also very good). Schwimmer acted very well, and held his own with actors of great skills, such as Hank Azaria, John Voight, and David Sutherland. Overall, the acting was superb, in your face and without pretention.
For a movie that is nearly 3 hours long, it sure did not feel like it. I was very surprised to see it end "so soon". It is a rivetting movie, that moves with the tragedy of it all. It tells the story of heroes who were basically ripped off by the local resistance, and still managed to give the Nazis something to worry about. It is hard to do that type of heroism and bravery justice, but "Uprising" gives it a decent shot.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and have watched it a few times. It is still as rivetting as it was when I first put it on. A first-rate movie. Oh yeah, and Schwimmer shows no hint whatsoever of Ross. Don't worry!
Movie Review: WW II Poland as it was.
Summary: 5 Stars
A very realistic, non-hyped version of the phenominal courage of a people who fought to their death against all odds. Inspiring, informative, exausting. I will watch it many times.
