Viggo Mortensen stars with Jason Isaacs in Good.  The film is a simple one about the Nazi movement in Germany. John Halder is a good, decent individual with family problems. A German literature professor in the 1930s, Halder explores his personal circumstances in a novel advocating compassionate euthanasia. When the book is unexpectedly enlisted by powerful political figures in support of government propaganda, Halder finds his career rising in an optimistic current of nationalism and prosperity.

The movie opens this weekend with Defiance, another Nazi film as well.  Some may think too many movies are being made about Nazi, Hitler and the Holocaust. I beg to differ because it was a terrible past that needs to be told again. An informative book to read about the truth behind Hitler’s motive is “Psychiatrists: The Men Behind Hitler. “

Edward Zwick, director of Blood Diamond and The Last Samurai, brings you a film based on a true story called Defiance. Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, and Jamie Bell star in the film about three Jewish brothers who escape from Poland during World War II.  They find refuge in the dense surrounding forest they have known since childhood. There they fight the Nazi’s. Whispers spread of their battles and more people (men and women, young and old) join them in their battle for freedom.

Zwick’s creative brilliance can be seen in the trailer. Watch the trailer and you will see that Defiance is a movie worth seeing, which opens December 12, 2008.
