5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful movie - HIGHLY recommended., 4 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Uprising (Two Disc Set) [2001] (DVD)
I had the good fortune to see this movie in New York last year and was blown away.

The movie tells the true and amazing story of the Jewish uprising in the Warsaw ghetto. Jon Avnets direction is maginificent, adopting a quasi-documentary style he truly captures the period and the feeling of being in moments as they happen.

The cast is stellar: Voight and Sutherland are their usual brilliant selves, Hank Azaria is a powerhouse of a leading man and David Schwimmer amazingly manages to make you forget 'Ross' ever existed with his wonderfully understated performance. Two of the lesser know leads really demand attention, Stephen Moyer (Quills) and Andy Nyman (Dead Babies) both deliver incredible performances in what are almost the best characters in the movie - I guarentee they are both names we will hear a lot more of.

The women don't fare quite as well, apart from leelee Sobieski who delivers the best performance of her career to date.

It's rare to see a movie that both moves and educates but this for me did exactly that. Without ever once feeling preached to I left the cinema profoundly moved and yet uplifted. Wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating corner of history, 30 Jul 2003
This review is from: Uprising (Two Disc Set) [2001] (DVD)
This was one of the most interesting 2nd world war films I have seen. I don't know why this did ace the Pianist in the critical awards. It portrayed ordinary people in an extraordinary, almost surreal nightmare in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942-3. Instead of the predicable sentimentality and patjos of the period, which we overly accustomed to, we see a different side which may have repeated in many sectors and for many people in the civilian sector. The characterisations were haunting John Voight and Don Sutherland in uncharacteristic roles which came of better for that. Finally I didn't know that the Jews held out longer in the Ghetto (I understand from the history) than the Polish army had done during the invasion (only 4 weeks as opposed to 6 weeks). And unarmed! There is always a place we can be educated in History! There is alsways hope for the brave!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating film, 29 May 2006
By truman (England) - See all my reviews
A well-acted film based on historical fact, well worth watching. The later Warsaw uprising by Poles in 1944, went on for longer (at least 63 days), but still the brave fighting spirit of the Ghetto Uprising is to be saluted.
