Add a CommentPrior to this film, I did not know that Marcel Marceau, the most famous mime in the world, joined the dangerous resistance against the Nazis. While some members bombed and assassinated Nazis, Marceau's group specialized in saving Jewish children from being sent to the gas chambers.
Nicely done. Good acting and well edited so it keeps moving. But overall I did not take much away from the viewing.
The story didn't keep my interest, but i guess
others liked it.
A very good story about Marcel M during the Nazi germany era.
I grew up watching the Ed Sullivan show and saw Marcel Marceau perform. No other mime has ever achieved his finesse. I enjoyed learning about his history in fighting against the Nazis. Highly recommend. Kristi & Abby Tabby
Resistance - I liked this movie. Historical/Fiction. I think Jesse Eisenberg is a strong talented actor. I was fascinated as he played Marcel Marceau. He was a freedom fighter, risking his life to save young Jewish orphans from Nazis.
Well, first off when I saw Marcel Marceau on various evening entertainment TV shows back in the late 50's (esp The Ed Sullivan Show) and into the 60's, I had no idea he was a war hero. He was merely a mime performing. This was an enlightening film, with on the edge suspense, combined by very convincing performances by all revealing the heroic accomplishments by those who served "undercover".
IMDB rated 6.1
The story of mime Marcel Marceau as he works with a group of Jewish boy scouts and the French Resistance to save the lives of ten thousand orphans during World War II.
