In Memoriam to Jozef Gabčík, Jan Kubiš,General Klemeš and to all these wonderful patriotic Czechs who lived those dark and awful times. May their Souls Rest In Peace ... This film is absolutely Brilliant! Thank you for everyone involved in this cinematographic Masterpiece!
General Klemeš is no longer with us. He died 7.8. 2017. He was 95 years old. He was a true hero. After the war, when communists took over, he was discharged from the army and sentenced to 2 years in hard prison and labor camp. After that he made a living in construction and eventually became a truck driver. He got married in 1954 and had a son. If there is somebody who deserves rest after life full of missery, it is this hero. I hope he reunites wis his brothers in arms. May they all rest in peace.
@@MehekAlyIn 1945 he was sent to Czechoslovakia as telegraph operator. During the uprising in Prague he sent information about uprising to the allies from the besieged villa. In this villa he survived the entire uprising.
There are many great films in all kinds of genres but I genuinely believe Anthropoid is up there with the best. While I have read and studied a great deal about WWII, I only discovered the story of the Reinhard Heydrich assassination relatively recently. So having seen documentaries and videos of what occurred and where it took place, it was refreshing to see an enactment of the events which is authentic in almost every way, eg the car slowing down, the driver being ordered to follow the Resistance fighter, down to (as I learned from this video) the tiles on the floor of the apartment. It is quite simply brilliant. It truly is a credit to all involved and all who made it happen, behind and in front of the camera. I can only echo the words of Cillian Murphy spoken towards the end of the video and agree wholeheartedly, great films leave a lasting impression on you and Anthropoid certainly did that. It told a dramatic story of bravery and fortitude with honesty and pathos and in doing so, honoured the heroes Jozef Gabčík, Jan Kubiš and their fellow fighters.
I absolutly love this film, masterpeice. You get such a weird feeling watching it, being so immursed it's existentially moving words fail to describe the feeling. I guess it's emotional, very emotional and not just in a sad way. You can feel every scene, I noticed at 24:24 you can hear his voice break and the sound of his breathing a gasping. Truly a very underrated masterpeice.
Just came back from Prague and visited the church where the final stand happened. There is a memorial outside with flowers and a candle burning. Vert moving experience. History within living memory.
I watched this movie last night and got so caught up in it. I understand how Cillian describes the way a movie SHOULD make you feel. I decided to go on YT and see if there was any additional information about the subject. Thank you so much for providing this documentary. Captivating. Sean captures the fear and brutality of something that happened not so long ago. Beware those who are trying to make us knuckle under to political correctness. The use of fear and intimidation is the same. If you'd like to read a true story about how the Soviets did the same, I'd ask you to read THE LONG WALK HOME. Brutality and intimidation are "useful" tools that elites use to justify their quest for power. NEVER let America become disarmed. Death and slavery camps will be the price. Enough-off my soapbox, already! A wonderful story told by all who were fortunate to be associated with it. Thank you, Sex Mad And Insatiable
Thank you for uploading this. I love to see people so invested, working at something with all their heart, mind and ability. You can tell it must be very special. I will now go and buy the bluray, can't wait to see it! I also can't believe it how many people (myself included) didn't know about that piece of history before.
They really nailed the accuracy of the history in this one, Bravo. I love that at the end I had lots of questions about if they did the right thing or not by assassinating him.
It is necessary; Reinhard is a very important general to the germans; his death changed the course of war and possible prevented more deaths than the consequences of his assassination; even the czech regard the assassins as heroes to the country, just to show how ruthless and evil this man was.
@@redbull6889 Reinhard was not an important General, he wasn’t even a front line General. He was an administrator/politician who happen to work for the military. He was no great military strategist in any sense of the word. His job was to keep order wherever he was stationed . Not a job high up on the list of things that win wars for you.
Just watch the film like two hours ago man best movie that I have seen The way they go out hands down the best . The story was was caught my attention, hope more movies are made about missions that took place and made into a film. All be watching it again hands down the best
There are a few movies made of this story, "Operation Daybreak" and "The man with the Iron Heart" Without a doubt Anthropoid is the best and most accurate film of this story ever made!
I like this movie very much and the story behind. But my feelings are soooo strange to realized that i would have been the enemy 2 generations before. '_'
Im Filipino who likes to watch Filipino indie films. ive heard of metro manila and been meaning to watch it but havent done it. and now i have more reasons to watch it really since Cillian loved it 😆
I would have loved it if the actor playing Heydrich had been interviewed - just to hear his thoughts about playing one of the most awful people in history.
WW II films are my favorite genre, (the Nazis are/were such quintessential 'bad guys')so I was excited about this movie upon hearing of its future release date and obviously, was anxious to see it. But, I then perused a few RT critiques as the movie was just coming to my local cinemas and they were disappointingly mostly unfavorable. Consequently, I have not seen it, yet. Any feedback from some folks who have?
The script is not as good as they say. But,the film is very close to what really happened,and it has high historical value. Also, the acting of Cillian and Jamey is amazing!! The only thing you will see is not as good is the talks with their "girlfriends". And the end, the last 45 minutes will kill you, doesnt matter if you already know the story, is mind blowing!
If you are interested in this story, you should read HHhH from Laurent Binet. Is not only about Gabcik and Kubis, but it tells you a lot of Reindard's life, and his career. Also, you will get a lof info about the people who helped the spies and died. Strongly recomended!
@@MehekAly Yes they did. The paras only had pistols and only 3 ss were wounded, none killed. They exaggerated the battle for the movie audience. They thought the movie would be boring without it. It would not.
@@davidlynch9049 Of course it is a nazi report, an internal report that had no reason to lie about the numbers. The nazi report on the Warsaw ghetto uprising listed KIA because there were actually KIA. Where are all the photos of the dead and wounded nazis from the church and where exactly did those claimed numbers come from? The church is surrounded by hundreds of windows in all directions, the Czech resistance would have been able to take photos. The inflated numbers were probably designed to cover for the over 5000 innocent Czechs who were killed in retaliation for Heydrich. You apparently learn or just believe history from Hollywood, and that's the real shame. Your attempted lynching has failed.
@@walterschumann2476 There was no cover up of the victims that died in retaliation to Heydrich's death, if you visit the church there is memorial displayed of all families and victims, but think of it the Czech people regarded these innocent souls and assassins as heroes, brave people who stood up for the Nazis, gives you an image of how cruel the regime was, and how brave Czech people truly is. Lots of respect for my Czech brothers and sisters!
I was so gutted for the family , that women punched out , the Voilinist hands broken , drunk, drugged, just shows that government in london had no love for ordinary cheque civilians , wot did it actually achieve ? They ran away and most ordinary cheques suffered , upset me the scenes of betrayal and torcher
This Anthropoid plan was made by the Czech and they asked the British government to help them and they said yes the lent them the training and the arms and explosives that's all Had it been for the British themselves they would not have done it it was a Czech plan
...tiny Cillian Murphy doll, on the internet, but unfortunately there wasn't a Jamie Dornan doll, at that time, available; I'm sure there's many available now, in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
jaimee graham hi! I'm a japanese student. I've studyed English for several years but I can't speak it well now😵 three days ago I watched this movie because I'm very interested in WW2,especially relationship between nazi and occupied counties and the people's feeling. I knew that Reinhard Heydrich was killed in 1942 but I didn't know about Czechoslovakia's soldires. this movie taught me many things so I think that it is good to watch it. I want to know about chemistry between Cillian and Jamie. do they have good relationship?? Jamie said “Cillian?? who's Cillian??” was it a joke?? I'm sorry. I can't understand this sean's meaning. my sentence is so long and my English is not good. I'm sorry😓
Hellooo? This dude is the producer and he thinks his two lead actors are British? ruclips.net/video/AphQClK6cMg/видео.html What a story though and what a fantastic movie.
Actually, Čurda was really executed but it was not by the nazis.The execution was done in 1947 as a punishment for betraying his friends = soldiers on an important mission. When he came to nazis they were probably torturing him a little bit to make sure they get as much information as possible from him. But later he got a lot of money and a flat at Pařížská street (one of the most expensive streets in Prague) from them as a reward. For obvious reason the nazis gave him a new identity...which explains why he wasn't executed right after the end of the war - they couldn't track him down.
Well, don't forget in 1964 exteriors of Prague were in such original condition as they were in 1942.And that time many witnesses been alive. Also if you think the fight inside the church has been filmed inside the model made in details in size 1:1.The labour been that time much more cheaper than these days. This is just an other view to this historical event. But all makers made historical mistake. Paratroopers had no Sten Subs during fight but just pistols Colt 7.65 1913 model. During flight inside the church haven't died any of SS troops,just plenty injured. Seven paras hold 750 SS troops Das Reich for 7 hours with just these small automatic pistols and two last bombs what left in their hands...by the Czech Army History institute...this movie excellent job.....must say movie Atentát was ready to make before 1960 but Communists didn't give permission.
@@romanzdenek4682 Já vím Zdeňku. Kluci měli jen pistole. Hlídka na kůru měla pravděpodobně jen pistole a tři zásobníky po sedmi nábojích na hlavu. Celá přestřelka pak probíhala tak, že někdo z našich vystřelil jednu ránu a pak Němci několik minut pálil a pak zase jedna rána z naší strany atd. I ty ráže pistolí našich byly neskutečně malé, často 7,65mm, jak píšeš, dokonce i 6,35 mm. Několik zraněných SS-manů bylo zraněno palbou kulometu ze školy přes ulici.
This movie is so overlooked. It deserves much more attention than it gets.

Very well done. I hope to visit Prague someday and pay my respects to these heroes.
Excellent Film one of my very best about WW11 and the sacrifice that so many people made from so many countiesso well acted, directed and produced.
There was never a World War 11, instead, World War 2 did

Jozef Gabcik is the one of the bravest man of the history..
18:32 - GREAT WAY TO STORYBOARD YOUR FILM! (You get your composition, focus, and desired depth. PLUS USEFUL FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T DRAW)
There are a few movies made of this story, "Operation Daybreak" and "The man with the Iron Heart"
Without a doubt Anthropoid is the best and most accurate film of this story ever made!

You should watch it, it's brilliant.

a very good movie
Very good.
Great movie.
what is Cillian saying from 19:12 to 19:22 ?
...tiny Cillian Murphy doll, on the internet, but unfortunately there wasn't a Jamie Dornan doll, at that time, available; I'm sure there's many available now, in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
Is it so hard to make a movie about an assassination and have the guy who is assasinated acutually in the film apart from one scene
que fais mon nom au fond de l'èglise?
21:05-21:21 😂

The cameraman made him laugh. 😅
Q guerra tan cruel😊😊😊
In other words, this is a remake of Operation Daybreak
This is a remake of The Assassination (Atentát).
Hellooo? This dude is the producer and he thinks his two lead actors are British? ruclips.net/video/AphQClK6cMg/видео.html
What a story though and what a fantastic movie.
🤦🤦
I followed this story well, and Curda was still executed by the nazis even after betraying his friends? Lol

AND NOW? HERE IN AMERICA.......... WE WILL GET TO TRY IT OUT FOR OURSELVES. FOR REAL.
Checolovasquia q pueblo q sufrio bajo los nazis
I have to say, that Czechoslovak movie Atentát is much more better. Even though it is much older.
Well, don't forget in 1964 exteriors of Prague were in such original condition as they were in 1942.And that time many witnesses been alive.
