Unbeugsam (2008)

Unbeugsam: Directed by Edward Zwick. With Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, Jamie Bell, Alexa Davalos. Jewish brothers in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe escape into the Belarussian forests, where they join Russian resistance fighters, and endeavor to build a village, in order to protect themselves and about one thousand Jewish non-combatants.

“Iu0026#39;ve registered here just to write that Iu0026#39;m amazed by some reviews pointing that Zwick was inaccurate or illiterate when making his film. And itu0026#39;s really amusing to read that u0026#39;partisans couldnu0026#39;t speak Russian because Naliboki was a Polish townu0026#39;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNaliboki is a town in the very center of present Belarus. Itu0026#39;s a point were cultures mixed. For many centuries everybody here mastered at least 3 languages, and elder Belski spoke 6 of them: Yiddish, Hebrew, Polish, Belarusian, Russian, German. Itu0026#39;s not so impossible, I may assure you:)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eActually, Russian is appropriate only in episodes when Zus Belski talks to a Soviet partisansu0026#39; commander – that guy was from Moscow. Iu0026#39;m pretty sure, that in reality Jews talked to their neighbors in Yiddish and got answers in Polish or Belarusian. As for Belskies, they where the only Jewish family in their village, so they should master Slavic languages perfectly.”
