Movie You're Watching Tonight

I don’t even know if I’ve ever seen this. It sounds familiar and I seem to know everything about it, but I can’t remember seeing it.

Same. I did see it, but suspect I didn’t finish it. Rather dull IIRC.

See, I love Defiance. Its not dull at all to me.
I spent most of that night reading about the Bielskis (the youngest brother is 97 years old! Incredible), and it all felt somewhat bigger and more expansive than what the film portrays. Liev Schreiber is a perfect fit for this film, but Craig (whom I adore) really isn’t, imo. So that’s kind of where I was coming from. Maybe I’ll rewatch it again. My mum spent the whole time saying at regular intervals, ‘How terrible! Why do people do such things?’, and it was all a bit much.
I really can only watch films alone, can’t I. I’m hopeless.
On the plus side, for once the Russians were played by native Russian speakers — thank you for that, Mr Zwick!

My ‘same’ was more in relation to the fact I’d seen it before but it hadn’t registered as much. I watched it with my mum, who brings everything back to the Russia-Ukraine war nowadays, which is understandable but slightly exasperating to me, and we were talking about ‘war’ in the abstract throughout…. From that vantage point, I felt like something was missing in the way it was depicting war. I don’t know. It’s a very strange and personal experience nowadays as someone with relatives in Eastern Europe and both Russia and Ukraine, so I guess I just couldn’t fully detach myself. I certainly didn’t find it ‘dull’.

Been dying to see this for years. Now it’s screening in London. All hail the BFI.
This is extraordinary. The weirdest, most fascinating thing. How do I find more like this?

Rewatch. My mother was talking about a theatre production she’s obsessed with currently, and it turns out the lead in it is the lead in this one, too. So we’re watching it together. I don’t think it’s her sort of film, but I like it fine.
