Some thoughts on returning from Defiance (2008):
1. What idiot let Liev Schreiber get away without an Oscar nomination?
2. I felt there should be a koan for the Bielski Otriad: if two Jews have a philosophical argument in the middle of a forest, when is the third going to pitch in (and is he going to punch someone)? This is not a complaint. A Holocaust film without hagiography is one that works for me.
3. Now that we've proved that general audiences will watch a film with Jewish partisans, who can we get to adapt A Verse from Babylon, please?
I wish I could play my formerly purchased music from iTunes. "Yisrolik" and "Shtil di nakht" are both locked.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
