December 1st, 2011: "Defiance" Entry #3

During one scene in the movie "Defiance", the Jewish partisans catch a Nazi SS scout spying on their camp. The partisans attack the scout and beat him to death, while Tuvia just watches in awe. If I were the editor of "Defiance", I wouldn't change this scene at all; I would leave this scene just the way it is. This scene just amazes me how before, Tuvia would break up any and all fights between the partisans; but since this fight is between the partisans and a Nazi scout, he doesn't do anything. He simply stands back and watches. This scene shows how bitter the partisans are towards the Nazis for kiling their friends and family; Tuvia will prohibit fights between the partisans, but will allow violence towards Nazi soldiers.
