This was shown in a medium not normally known by the average viewer. Instead of lavish productions, the movie is shown as a stage play, much like Shakespere.

The backdrops were clad in black, and probably meant to, to depecit the blackness of WWII. The interaction of the main characters however, did not.

While the way this production was shown, it did not take away from how it was portrayed. It was unusual, it was strange yet, it made it all the more real.

I have looked at the reviews of this movie/stage play and was expecting something fascinating and gripping. I really liked the idea of it being a stage play however being German I found the American dialogue with the odd German phrase (Mainly Mutti meaning mum) totally out of pace and disturbing. If you want to play this in German language than do, but don't throw in only one word and think that makes it better. The actors were less than mediocre, costumes didn't fit especially on the younger actors and it was obvious that they were from a completely time (this stands out in particular as veneered ultra white teeth were not around in them days). They didn't seem to be at all comfortable in the roles they were trying to play. Overall disappointing.

Resistance Movement is a great film. I watched it with my four children (ages ranging from 14-6)and we were able to have a great family discussion about it afterward. My kids ask to watch it more frequently than the popular movies we own. Even my 6 year old was able to understand a lot of the movie and loved it. It was well written and filmed. I love the idea of a movie/play format mixed together. Definitely a perfect family movie.

One of the best features is the making of the film. I was touched when I watched how it came about and the feelings and experiences of those who were involved in the production. If you don't know much about the true events, I would recommend watching this first before the movie. You will quickly feel a sense of love for the real life heroes as you watch the movie.

After watching the first time, I immediately wanted to watch it again. It's rare to find a movie that you can sit and watch all of the commentary on, but for Resistance Movement it was nice to watch with the directors commentating. It became more real and they did a great job of explaining important and key elements, as well as gave a sense of how wonderful the experience was to make the film.

You will not regret buying and watching this movie. It will be a good experience for you and your family!
