Anthropoid

Anthropoidis based on the extraordinary true story of 'Operation Anthropoid,' the code name for the Czechoslovakian operatives’ mission to assassinate SS officer Reinhard Heydrich. Heydrich, the main architect behind the Final Solution, was the Reich’s third in command behind Hitler and Himmler and the leader of Nazi forces in Czechoslovakia. The film follows two soldiers from the Czechoslovakian army-in-exile, Josef Gabčík (Cillian Murphy) and Jan Kubiš (Jamie Dornan), who are parachuted into their occupied homeland in December 1941. With limited intelligence and little equipment in a city under lockdown, they must find a way to assassinate Heydrich, an operation that would change the face of Europe forever.

About Reinhard Heydrich

  • Served 20 years in the Nazi-German army
  • Nicknamed "The Butcher of Prague"
  • Appointed by Adolf Hitler to act as Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, what is now Czech Republic
  • Regarded as possibly the darkest, most feared member of the Nazi Elite
  • Responsible for about 2 million deaths during the Holocaust

Close to accurate, but missing major parts of the story.
I recently took a guided tour of this church. It was one on one, early in the day and after tourist season. My guide was good, but the man at the desk was the one who conducts the tour for the many school kids that visit. He's the resident expert and instructor. I was blessed to have an extended tour with additional views and information. He told how the group for the mission "Anthropoid" was developed and arrived in Prague. The only automatic weapon they had was the assassination machine gun (which failed to fire), so the defensive weapons were pistols. There were few German casualties. The gun battle at the end was dramatized for the movie. It is not clear in the film, so it's not an error, but Heydrich was killed not by shots fired, but by vehicle shrapnel from the bomb. Of the three or four versions of this film Czech critics all seem to agree they are all fairly accurate save those two points. I'm told the original early one in black and white is the most accurate, but no longer available. I decided to see this film again after many, many years following this trip. My only complaint is the film doesn't develop the story form the inception and planning. That is critical I believe. See the review of "Conspiracy" in addition to this. I believe viewers will get more from this film by knowing who and what Heydrich was.

5.0 out of 5 stars REMARKABLE TRUE STORY OF HEROISM, DEDICATION AND BETRAYAL IN A SOMETIMES SLOW-MOVING STORY
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2016

I had not heard of ANTHROPOID and when I first heard the title, I thought it was a science fiction film. Well, that could not be any further from the truth. ANTHROPOID is a WWII drama set in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1942. It's based on a true event of heroism, bravery, patriotism and heartbreaking betrayal. I'm a WWII history buff so I was very interested to see a film based on an event I did not know.

The international cast brings heart and soul to this film. Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan head the team of actors that includes many Czech actors. The setting, scenery, costumes and detail take us back to the dark and terrifying days of Prague in 1942. A group of Czech resistance fighters are enlisted to assassinate the head of the Nazi regime in Czechoslovakia. Brutal Reinhard Heydrich is Hitler's third in command and one of the main creators of Hitler's "Final Solution."

Our freedom fighters enlist the help of brave local citizens and embark on an impossible mission that can only lead to disaster. It is truly a remarkable tale of dedication and bravery that deserves to be told. Although ANTHROPOID can be slow moving at times, it is visually stunning as it takes us back to a terrifying era in history. There is the lead up to the assassination attempt and the daring effort to escape Prague and certain death at the hands of the Nazi's.

Although the story is fascinating, the writer could have given more background information on these heroes who must have known the mass executions that would have occurred in retaliation for the assassination attempt. I'm leaving it up to the viewer to find out if the attempt fails or succeeds. I'm still overwhelmed by the remarkable detail of this film from location to clothing to just about everything.

Be sure to watch the extra feature on the Making of ANTHROPOID to learn more about the filming and the effort to be a true to the era as possible. I enjoyed the film despite its flaws. It could have been more fast paced but the overall beauty of the details and the wonderful actors and the tribute to real heroes makes ATHROPOID a must see to anyone interested in WWII history.

01.30.24: I was interested in this because it's one of Cillian Murphy's films. Yep, he did it again. Another good performance. The story is based on the truth of an assignation attempt. It wasn't boring and held my interest. If you're interested in this sort of thing, you'll like the film.

NO SPOILER REVIEW!

5 Stars

This is my first 5-star rating I've ever given to a movie watched on Amazon Prime (and I watch a lot of them).
WOW. WOW. WOW. When this movie ended, man, dang. I mean it set with me for awhile. It was so gripping and emotional. Long time since I've watched a movie that had that kind of residual impact. It was just so intense. Especially the way it all ends (I mean the movie that is)... Man...

I almost don't want to say too much and dilute this review with all my comments on the various aspects of the film and such. Suffice to say it delivers on all fronts: storyline, acting, script, production values, action-scenes, there isn't anything that wasn't done well in this film in my opinion... and perhaps even more importantly, if something wasn't done well I just plain didn't notice because I was too on the edge of my seat and totally immersed in suspense along for the ride. I very much felt like I was alongside the characters with them in their situation in the film.

What a powerful film. What a movie. Man, this is worth the watch for sure. And could/should be destined to be a classic in the genre of war-films, and most certainly amongst WWII films. This is a hidden gem, if this came out to theaters I didn't know about it, but it most certainly should have!

Not to mention, what an inspiring testament to the tenacity, bravery and courage and will of the human spirit. It's almost unbelievable to think this was all real and these people really underwent these circumstances and chose the actions they did! What a shining example of true courage and willing to stand up to evil!
Also, I don't know much about history, so this was unintentionally educational and informative. A major event/plot in the course of the WWII drama that I now have some knowledge/awareness about.

This is more than worth the watch, but just be prepared to be engaged very intensely!
Also, sidenote: there is one scene of torture... it was brutal to watch so FYI if you got kiddos or a light stomach. I had to turn away, I couldn't take it.

Anthropoid is a captivating and compelling movie. The atmosphere is very sombre throughout, and the acting and script is well done. The first half starts off slow as the plans for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich are put into place, and then the action picks up quite quickly afterwards. It maintains excellent suspense throughout. Overall a very well made movie about a relatively unknown Czech operation that took place during World War 2.

Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan are great in it, and the movie is sad, sobering, and thought provoking. Highly recommend for those interested in war movies and history, specifically the second world war.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANTHROPOID : LE BOUCHER DE PRAGUE
Reviewed in France on October 23, 2018

J'ai visionné OPÉRATION ANTHROPOID après Hhhh et il n'y a aucune comparaison possible : ANTHROPOID est bien plus authentique que l'autre film car, il se place plus du point de vue des résistants tchèques. On ne voit pratiquement pas HEYDRICH, surnommé donc le boucher de PRAGUE, un des nazis les plus horribles de ce régime alors que dans Hhhh, il en est le personnage central du récit , joué d'ailleurs avec peu de crédibilité par JASON CLARKE, l'acteur hollywoodien par excellence.

Le réalisateur SEAN ELLIS a préféré nous parler plutôt de la résistance tchèque qui jusqu'à présent au cinéma et à ma connaissance n'avait jamais encore été évoquée. Le bonus très complet du making of nous conforte d'ailleurs dans cette idée et comment celui ci a perçu cette histoire authentique dont il a écrit le scénario.

Bien sûr, nous savons comment s'est terminé ce drame mais, il était intéressant de voir comment il allait être traité. On y découvre une reconstitution hallucinante de PRAGUE sous la botte du joug nazi. Le bonus nous permet de voir que l'église où se déroule toutes les scènes finales a été parfaitement reconstituée pour coller au plus près de la vérité historique.
Le casting nous permet de voir une nouvelle fois ce grand acteur qu'est CILLIAN MURPHY, vu récemment dans DUNKERQUE et précédemment dans la trilogie de NOLAN sur BATMAN.

ANTHROPOID peut déjà être donc considéré comme un classique instantané du film de guerre dans ce que celle ci avait de plus pathétique ( je pense notamment à la scène insoutenable où le gamin violoniste se fait torturer par les nazis ).

Para mi esta película me fue muy decepcionante, demasiado restringido todo el guion, y tomas muy cerradas de los escenarios naturales de la ciudad de Praga en donde se desarrollaron los hechos reales, como si no hubieran contado con los permisos para la filmación de la película para poder darle mas realismo. Para la gente que no conoce cual fue el motivo y el origen de esta operación de comandos y toda la historia que trae atrás, creo sera una película de acción nada mas, la reproducción de algunos de los escenarios es muy buena, como la parte interna de la Iglesia y la zona de las criptas dentro de la misma lugares en donde se desarrollan los enfrentamientos finales, hago mención de estos lugares porque tuve oportunidad de estar físicamente en ellos en la ciudad de Praga Checoslovaquia (hoy República Checa), siempre espere que saliera esta película en BLU RAY disc, ya que la versión de 1975 OPERATION DAYBREAK con Timothy Bottoms salio primero en VHS y varios años después en DVD pero de muy mala calidad ya que estuvieron grabando estos DVD'S en China, a mediados del 2016 conseguí con AMAZON una nueva grabación en formato DVD muy buena de la película de 1975 versión con la cual me quedo. La versión en Blu ray "Anthropoid" la conservare porque siempre me ha interesado en especial este tema en general el de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, pero nada que ver con la versión de 1975.

Einer meiner Lieblingsfilme. Ich habe einige Kommentare gelesen und möchte auch ein paar Zeilen beitragen. Entschuldigen Sie bitte mein unvollkommenes Deutsch. Und Spoilers:)
Der Film erzählt die Geschichte meistens aus der Sicht von Gabcik und Kubis und fokussiert auf ihre Entwicklung. Man sieht nichts von Lidice, denn Gabcik und Kubis waren nie in Lidice. Es gibt keine Szenen mit Heydrich, denn sie haben mit ihm nie gesprochen. Der Regisseur geht davon aus, dass man versteht, warum es so wichtig war diese Operation durchzuführen. Er zeigt auch die damaligen Zweifel einiger Leute, von denen Gabcik und Kubis etwas wussten.
Zu den „Köpfe abscheidenden Bestien“ – die Nazis haben den Kopf von Frau Moravcova abgeschnitten und ihrem Sohn während der Folter gezeigt. (Genauso wurden die Köpfe aller Fallschirmspringer nach dem Tod abgeschnitten, das erzählt der Film aber nicht). Der Film übertreibt nicht. Außer dem Verlauf der letzten Schlacht, wo die Männer keine Maschinenpistolen hatten und diese Menge erschossener/verletzter Nazi-Soldaten gab es in der Kirche nicht. Die vorigen Filme über Operation Anthropoid (der tschechoslowakische Atentat aus den 60ern und der amerikanische Operation Daybreak aus den 70ern) haben die Schlacht übrigens ähnlich geschildert, aber ich denke, Sean Ellis hat es am besten und emotionalsten geschafft.
Man könnte auch darüber diskutieren, ob Gabcik und Kubis so waren wie in dem Film. Zum Teil. Gabcik war nicht immer so ernst, Kubis war nicht so labil… Emotionell und manchmal nervös, ja natürlich, sie waren schließlich normale, auch wenn sehr tapfere Menschen in einer extremen Situation. Und enge Freunde, was der Film gut darstellt. Gabciks Beziehung zu „Lenka“ wirkt hier ja irgendwie platonisch, wobei die Figur von Lenka wohl eine Kombination aus zwei Frauen im Widerstand ist, mit denen Gabcik im Laufe der Monate nicht so platonisch liiert war.
Man merkt, dass sich Sean Ellis mit dem Thema lange beschäftigt hat und dass er diese Leute, ihren Mut und ihre Opferbereitschaft bewundert und mag. Und es ist kein Hollywood. Inklusive des Verräters ist es eher eine klassische Tragödie, die passierte. Klischees? Vielleicht nur der Fuß auf der Geige. Die Regie, die Schauspielleistungen oder die beunruhigende und bewegende Musik sind meiner Meinung nach erstklassig.
