Defiance

I thought this movie was awesome. I loved the action, but I especially liked it because I connected to it emotionally. I feel very strongly about this topic, and seeing this movie really furthered my interest for the Holocaust and the people involved in it. I felt proud of my religion and I felt strong emotions for the people who had to live through the Holocaust. I thought the movie looked very realistic and the actors were perfect for the parts. I will always remember this movie and how it made me feel, because I never realized that this happened until I watched this movie. This movie also taught me so much about the Holocaust and the people living through it. Movies are a great way to teach about certain topics without using a textbook.

By this statement, Tuvia's "revenge" is going to be on the people hunting them down. The bad people all want the Jews to be killed, so them living through the battles and fighting back is the Jews getting their revenge. In the case of this movie and the story, revenge is an act of humanity. The Jews deserve to live and just because of the times and the place they live in, they are being targeted and killed. In many cases revenge is a horrible and unnecessary thing, but in this movie I think it can be considered an act of humanity.
