I was surpirised at the level of inaccuracies in the film. There weren't that many. The mistakes were important, as they were to do with Bund activity, and other related topics, but the rest of the film was very accurate.

If you get the chance, sit down and watch the movie, and don't see thirty year old actors, see 18-24 year old kids, and then consider how truely amazing these peoples feats actually were. Even though they knew that most of them would die, they fought for Jewish honour, and helf out for longer then the Polish and French armies. If that doesn't prove that their uprising achieved in proving that the Jews did fight back, I don't know what could.

The point of the movie, is to point out, that all that amazing stuff REALLY DID HAPPEN. The Warsaw ghetto uprising did happen like that, that's why it was so amazing. A bunch of teenagers (Mordechai Aneilewicz was only 24 at the time) managed to hold off the most powerful army in the world for longer then Poland and France did. It was a turely amazing feat, and it DID HAPPEN. Nothing, in regards to the actual fighting was over exagerated. If you have seen the documentaries on the DVD, or, if like myself you have spoken to people like Kazik or Marek Edelman, you would know that this is all true.

The only problem is a few details concerning the Bund. Other then that, it was about time a movie came about, that showed the world that the Jews DID fight back.


An accurate depiction for a movie!   January 2, 2003

The movie draws real historical events and produces a compelling, evocative film concerning the heroic struggles of untrained Jewish freedome fighters. To the people who have said this film is unrealistic, they should take some history courses or read further books into the whole event. Obviously, this is a movie and some things are overly dramatized, but it still stays inline with major historical records of the period. Additionally, the negation of Catholic and non-religious help in the Warsaw ghetto was strategically absent in the film because little to none was extended during the occupation of Nazi soldiers. In the end, the movie proved to be an intense and realistic movie that I enjoyed immensely.


More than unrealistic!   December 23, 2002

This movie is posibly a creation of a Rambo fan. You can see thirty untrained Jewes killing with their bare hands hundreds of German SS soldiers, which we all know were the elite of the German Army, trained to kill and survive. The most disturbing part ofcourse is the casting. Hank Azaria and David Schwimmer alias Terminator and James Bond? I rest my case!


A Compelling Movie   November 11, 2002

When I first watched Uprising, I was completely glued to the tv screen. Although this movie doubtless has some historical inaccuracies, they can be easily overlooked, because Uprising makes us aware of the Nazis' disgusting and brutal treatment towards the Jewish people. Many tv war movies can be overly dramatized, so we can lose sight of the injustices of a situation, but Uprising gives us drama while still depicting the helplessness of the determined Jews. It is also worth mentioning Uprising's all-star cast, who did a wonderful job portraying the bravery and desperation of the Jews. I recommend Uprising to anyone who wants to see for themselves how the Jews united together and fought to the death against the Nazis' cruel treatment, instead of just reading about it in a history book.
