the date is January 16th,
1944. The United
States of America has been conducting
reconnaissance flights over the country.
This day, a reconnaissance airplane has crashed in a large field, near a
village. The people from the village,
are quickly there to clean up the wreckage.
At the wreckage, a boy named Jean Benoit is confronted about his parents
being collaborators, with the Nazi soldiers.
Jean Benoit feels awkward about, what he was told. Jean runs across the field, and, into the
forest. Almost immediately, Jean finds
Major Theodore “Ted” Brice hiding under branches and leaves. Jean returns that night, and, Ted Brice is
taken out of the forest. Furthermore, he
is taken to the Daussois residence.
Henri and Claire Daussois, are members of the resistance and opposition
group called, Maquis. In Belgium,
the word is Marquis, but, in the French language the word is Maquis. Claire receives and gives shelter to, Ted
Brice. Claire speaks English, and, she
passes time with Ted Brice. Jean visits
the home, from time to time. Henri
leaves on Maquis business, and, he also helps to explode a bridge so that; the
Nazi soldiers cannot use it. As for Ted
Brice and Claire, they become lovers in a short amount of time. The love affair between Ted Brice and Claire,
is surrounded by the Nazi occupation.
From time to time, the Nazi occupation becomes part of their romance and
love. One day, Henri returns from Maquis
business. Ultimately, Henri decides to
betray Ted Brice. Director, Todd
Komarnicki, does a fantastic job. The
story is simple, but, the time it takes to watch this movie feels special. The writers do an equally fantastic job. The interaction between Ted Brice and Claire,
is very well written. Additionally,
their love affair is not exaggerated.
Furthermore, a love affair like this one, probably happens, the way it
was written. The officially recognized
stars contribute tremendously. They
would be missed, if they were not chosen.
Special recognition is merited to Bill Paxton and Julia Ormond. The Ted Brice and Claire characters are very
memorable. Overall, Resistance (2003) earns the rating of 7 out of 10.
