I didn't know I see a movie that is based on the people of Nitzanim interviews. Search Google for Mira Ben Ari and the Battle of Nitzanim. It is pretty much accurate.

It's an amazon movie, the best of Avi Nesher so far (and he produced many great movies). The story as well as the actors, plot, soundtrack and camera effects - all is just perfect. I don't want to write any spoilers but I really encourage you to see it in the cinema (better than on Netflix)

Exceptional movie. Someone wrote it is anti-war movie. It is not anti-war movie, it is anti those who start the wars, who abuse peoples' elevated emotions and send them to kill and to be killed, instead of trying to resolve the existing grievances in a peaceful way. It also directed against those who makes an entertainment from the human tragedies depicting them as an "image of victory", just like ancient Romans found a fun in watching gladiators fights. It tells how little progress we made in the last 2000 years, despite our achievement in technology and science. It also gives a clever idea that what you may see as your victory in reality could be the image of your defeat.

One objection I have to the movie is how it portrays Aba Kovner. Aba Kovner was one of the leaders of the unground resistance in Vilnius ghetto, a heroic fighter against Nazis and a prolific poet. You can find more information about him by surfing the internet.

Very well made Israeli movie with excellent characters,wonderful acting (Joy Reiger is sensational) what I liked most is that it's a true story. The action scenes are very realistic and the human emotional scenes are very touching. The director did a tremendous job. You will love it.

As the title suggests I think this is Nesher's best movie to date and he has some good ones in the past.

A great time to be had watching this film, would recommend it to anyone who's interested.
