Samson (1961)
Samson is one of several Andrzej Wajda films harking back to his youth during the Nazi Occupation of Poland. Many of these concern not only the struggle between good and evil, but also between passive and impassive. The hero is a Jewish youth. He, like his family, has always been silent and undemonstrative in the face of prejudice. Now he stands up for his right to survive, and in so doing represents the fighting spirit that culminated in the 1943 Warsaw Uprising. It was originally titled Samson, but re-spelled as Sampson upon its American release to avoid confusion with a sword-and-sandal epic of the same name. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
With Samson Wajda returned to the war period. Jakub Gold, a Jew is threatened by anti-Semite goons and kills one in self-defence and serves a long-prison term. When the Germans invade Poland, the prisoners are set free but soon Gold finds himself in a different kind of prison - the Warsaw ghetto. He escapes to the Aryan side and serves the winter in the cellar of prison-acquaintance Malina’s house. With Malina’s death he rushes back to the ghetto to find it razed to the ground.
He is soon led to Pankrat, a communist leader he met in jail, in the organisation’s underground hideout. He joins their struggles and during the German attack on the premises, he fights his last battle.
Wajda deliberately cast a French actor, who was short and delicate, a contradiction of the mythical Samson and could only play the role in reverse. It studies the travails of individual fate linked to social, class, political and ideological determinism. In his first three films, men were objects of dominant and overpowering forces of his tradition and times. But as he grasps the mechanism and forces of history, he gives up passivity and fatalistic acceptance and assumes his own and fellow’s responsibility and fate. In Samson there is a significant departure in moral and philosophical content of Wajda’s cinema. It is a clear break-away from the heroes of A Generation, Kanal and Ashes and Diamonds, where determinism is linked to flux in various levels of society. (geocities)
