I was shocked when it didn't got nominated for oscar. One of the best movies I ever saw.
I know, I don't understand how this flew so far under the radar!
Hi, Iam from Czech republic and I saw this movie yesterday. I was a little bit afraid, because this is a really well-known story in mine country.... But Iam so glad and proud! This film was amazing. Incredible (but true) story, Prague, action and a lot of czech actors :D
Awesome I'm glad you liked it too!
I feel the same , and am glad I went to se it.. it was the last showing in our town...
Yeah... me too. I saw it twice and I felt so proud to our soldiers. I love it. One of my favorite movie ♥
I really like this movie and really like to see good movies about other countries and what they did in ww1 , ww2 etc ( from America)
... Unless you're Czech, Slovak, Polish or German and you've actually learned about this at school (we covered this twice at elementary school and twice at high school), so some of us actually knew how it's going to end who is going to die or survive.
I don't know why you were bored in the first 30 minutes. I thought it was good. Imho, a film doesn't have to have action scenes all the way through to be dramatic.
I love how realistic this drama was. A good portion of action to please the fans of action films, yet still realistic, no nonsense and it follows the history of the real events very closely. I know many people (Czechs) who were quite skeptical when they heard that this topic was picked for a big British co-production and would be make for international audience, because they feared that the historical facts would be mess up for the benefit of making a big action film (and that would make it unbearable to watch for 90% of the Czech viewers), but luckily none of that turned out to be true. Unlike some war films for international audience which are packed with action scenes and half of those are pointless, don't even serve the story, and are just there to show off the heroism and physical ability of the characters) this is a war drama with drama being evenly spread between big fighting seqences, preparation for the operation and spying in an occupied land. Well done. I'd give it 85%.
Very well said, thanks for the reply. You should post a video review too
I t took me a while to go se this movie, because I did not know what to expect of it, you are correct this story was introduced to us during our "school lives" I am from Prague and stood of that church window , felt the bullet holes and said a prayer for all of the people affected by this ... Lidice, Lezaky and more. I would say they took some liberties but overall they did covered it well, I am glad I did go.
Tereza Hluchá we were taught it in Britain as well.
@@Martina260 this movie is fantastic and amazing and deserves praise as it respects Czech people and history. It’s a fantastic movie and you should go and see it for your self when you have the chance.
@@Martina260 taking liberties in a movie is fine because it has to be structured well and flow in a movie’s pace. The liberties they took were all great and added more life to the story of people who fought there. Whatever liberties you think they did, it wasn’t negative in the slightest and served the story well.
It’s a fantastic movie!
I envy people who didnt know how it ends up. for us this is history and we know what happens since we were kids.
Son of my Father it's a great story, I wish I had learned about it in school
If you come to Prague the church with the window to the cript is still there with bullets hole visible. Im passing it by every other day so seing this come alive in the movie felt strong.
Son of my Father that's crazy! Hopefully you feel the movie did the story justice
Yes it did. We had our own movie Atentát from the 60s who did good job aswell and also Americans did operation daybreak movie in 1975 which was also ok but here we finally see people asking the question whether it was worth the retaliation and I can tell you this question still divides my country still 70 years after.
My gf really loves this film. We fоund full mooviе here => twitter.com/0941d6a41c7358cd9/status/793634059746279425 Anthropoooоid Movieеee Review
Great review dude. Having studied WW II for over forty years, I know this story well. I'm really pleased that someone has finally made a film worthy of the subject. Well done on an excellent review.
i appreciate it thanks!
The movie is fantastic and amazing! Love the film!
@@Gadget-Walkmen definitely
I am from Czech republic. I love this movie. It's very interesting and tension. I love our history
its definitely great
I am totally subscribing to your page. I saw Anthropoid and you took the words right out of my mouth. Every single thing you said about the movie is exactly what I thought. And you are right, they did not develop the love interest near enough. If they did, this movie would have been a 10/10. Yes, great movie! Great review!
I'm glad to see you agree with me and subscribed! I've been on RUclips for about a year but there's a ton of other reviewers too! Hopefully you stay liking my vids!
I watched Anthropoid a second time, and this time with a friend. I agreed with you about them not developing the love interest in the movie and it made the ending a bit corny. However, my friend saw that a bit differently, she said that when they were reaching out to one another at the end, it had more to do with the hope that Czechoslovakia would once again find love and live for another day. With that in mind, I have to say it came together for me. But yes, this is one of my favorite movies of 2016. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the input , I did not look at it that way... but it is a "nice hope"
I for once was happy they didn't put "hollywood love plot twist" into this movie as they do with all the others because it was simply not necessary
actually Jan Kubiš was born a few kilometers from my hometown of Třebíč, I remember our history teacher telling us about the assassination and the aftermath, honestly I don't know why it is so little known...
Yea, still even after this movie barely anyone i know knows about it
you have just sold this one to me, will picking up on blu ray next week as release date is next Monday, fab review... have subscribed to your channel... look forward to seeing more from you!!
Dean Hughes thanks. Glad to hear! I hope you comment back once you see it to let me know what you thought.
if you go to prague ,visit the church where the SOE agents held off an SS batalion for over 12 hours,and come out feeling numb and humble.Very brave men,all seven of them.The agents were trained in my county in the UK and were billeted in a village near me.
That’s awesome
Just saw Anthropoid, rented it from the library, and it was awesome. I love Cillian Murphy, and he's really excellent in this movie. The only place where I think it dropped the ball, it's that it didn't show what happened to Marie, which is sad actually, but great film. I was familiar with some of what actually happened, but learned quite a bit.
Yea, thats to bad. I think they kinda hinted at what happened but idk. Thanks for watching and giving feedback!
pretty everybody involved with the paras was executed... that included theyr families.... and relatives
As a Czech I was little afraid of Anthropoid, for I know many examples of crap movies when someone from one country makes film about history of other country. But despite some historic buffs I very liked it. And I also recommend czechoslovak movie Atentát (Assassiantion) from 1964, directed by Jiri Sequens. It is still best artistic rendition of this story.
I'm glad you liked it! It may have been made here in the US but I'm sure people from your country help consult on it!
I am glad many of our " country men" had the same concerns... and in the end I was glad and proud my country's history was told, and yes I did not remember the movie I saw, but believe it was the one you mentioned that movie did a very good, and exact interpretation of the story...
The women posing as the girlfriends were real people, and they were executed in the aftermath of the assassination
Exactly, so I wish they had done more with their part of the story
the movie was excellent and i agree, it made you jump and hold your breath in all the right moments.
p.s: do watch Jamie in the fall, he's gonna blow your mind. he was in that before fsg, so he didn't just jump from something bad to something great like anthropoid. he was already in something great! Watch it, you'll be surprised! 😊
I'll definitely have to check that out!
Spot on review, I couldn't have said better myself
Awesome, glad you liked it!
Really best movie. I found it heere => twitter.com/c979290c7f17babf1/status/793634059746279425 Anthropoid Movie Review
just watch it, as another czech, this is made with dignity and also very acuratelly. you might want to check czech version from sixties called atentát.
definitely
Great movie, but I never really knew the story about Reinhard's assassination, just the guy himself . . . If there wasn't enough reason already for my fueling hatred of the SS, this movie's it . . . Seriously though, good review.
thank you, i really appreciate it!
Hi, I think it dependes on the country and your history teacher if you know or not know about the assassination and how it ended up. Heydrich was very important for Hitler. Heydrich was THE ONE who came up with an idea to "solve the Jewish question" (systematic genocide). His aasassination was huge step against Hitler. Of course in czech republic and in slovakia (we are seperated since 1993) is this very important story as much as Munich Agreement, which was also very importatn because Britain, France and Italy basically give Hitler resources to start a war.
I have not seen the movie yet. I hope you made sure Englishmen. Since this event shook my country. And since I was in church and at the intersection where the main heroes Gabčík and Kubiš fought and died for me is very valuable film. Indeed, the filmmakers decided to film the true story of our heroes of the Second World War. I am a person who knows about this event. But it should be remembered the young people in my country they are the true heroes Spiderman and Wolverine. If someone will not like the movie understand. But a group of Czechoslovak paratroopers against Hitler's men and the German army. Thank you all.
I think you should see this, you will enjoy it, and i think it portrays the events in a respectful and also entertaining way
Our youth have of what makes it fun. Painting inherits the memorial in Lidice. I was in the crypt where all the paratroopers had to commit suicide. They fired at them from a machine gun, they are flushed out like rats. Gas flown there. Karel Čurda their member is betrayed and is therefore tracked down by the Gestapo. Pors hope that this people will seem ridiculous and it did not spoil director. When I saw Saving Private Ryan, so I laughed it is an exaggeration. Then I went to Omaha Beach. There, I realized that I behaved like a fool. A man must experience this feeling so he crawled deep under the skin. In the Czech Republic, movie yet. But they had to give more English and American actors. That our new generation of actors that does not experience so fully.
Karel Curda was the traitor...
There is an old British 1970's movie called Operation Daybreak its the same story but it goes more in depth to the repercussions of the aftermath of the mission its dated but still one of my favourite war films
operation daybreak is one of my favourite war films ever .anthropoid also very good ,now looking forward to hhhh which is out after christmas I think .
you need to see the serie The Fall Jamie will blow your mind even more 😉
Is that on Netflix? I'll have to check it out
I think Netflix have it. The Fall have two seasons and 11 episodes. Season 3 start this fall...
You will love it. When you watch it let me know
+Patrícia Almeida I just started peaky blinders because of this movie, but I'll have to try that one eventually
I'm waiting for see that movie!!
You really need to watch the serie... it will blow your mind you will like it
Siege of jadotville Jamie for an was in that and was fantastic

Lala Lopez haha right!
Just passing by to suggest you watch JADOTVILLE on Netflix....great movie, based on real facts...very accurate.
I'll have to check that out, thanks!
it's the best movie i've seen for a while... so much tension...
Andrei Barba I agree!
and nice review :D You just got a subscriber ;)
its a remake of a movie called operation daybreak, track it down its worth a watch, this version is better though, good review by the way :
Thank you I appreciate it. I'll have to check that out!
Thank you for your review, however you are not in the frame of mind of what is was like for the Czechoslovakian people during that time. You have this view regarding an expedited love plot. You have to remember this is actually how it was. People did not have 10 years to fall in love. You are of a much newer generation. I encourage you to step outside of your way of thinking in current standards and understand history and the mentality for the respective time period. Honestly, you sound naive and uneducated in regards to the historic content of the film.
Doenst matter if it’s real or not. Still has to make sense for the movie. Movies can be accurate and be boring or be accurate and be entertaining, etc. I’m not reviewing the accuracy. I’m reviewing the movies entertainment value. That was an element in the movie that wasn’t done well in my opinion. Movies are subjective. If it really happened that quickly back then it’s the movies job to convey that for everyone in a believable and entertaining way. For me they didn’t do that. Still love the movie, but that’s just one aspect.
I agree excellent movie.
The same crap like Operation Daybreak. If you wish to watch historically the most accurate movie about Heydrich's assassination, search for Atentát (Assassination, J. Sequens, 1964). There are couple of inacuracies too, but it still follows true historical events at the maximum.
Ondrus21 I guarantee this is a better movie though. Sure see those for accuracy, but see this for a good movie
Somehow I can't enjoy when someone with absolute ignorance of our history comes to scoff at our national heroes.
Ondrus21 who is scoffing at your heroes? I'm saying this is a good movie...
You can say that 100 times, but you'll never make it true. This movie is a schlock.
Ondrus21 it's subjective, I'm just giving my opinion, and many other people also agree.
Kubiš and Gabčík were heroes. 🇨🇿🇸🇰
Your first pronunciation was right
yay!
Watch atentat 1964 and operation daybreak
I saw it
Did you like it?
I still wanna see this and War Dogs but figured it too late to bother reviewing
You should still see them to see them. You could review anthropoid, it needs more exposure and there are barely any reviews on it
Knittel Man fiiine

"Czechloslovakia"
thanks
Nice movie
I watched it last night. People of my generation all know about what happened here so no surprises. I thought it was boring to begin with and then became ridiculous at the end. Look up the facts on wikiparedia. Seven agents were dropped.3 went to Prague and 4 went on another mission.The assassination was accurate except for leaving out the fact that Heidrich was assisted by a Czech woman passerby and an offduty policeman.He died of complications over a week later.They were betrayed by one of the parachuted agents for the money.The church was surrounded by 750 germans with heavy weapons. 5 Germans were wounded in the 6 hours of the siege.Grenades have a large killing zone kicking them a few feet will not save you.Heavy machine guns are not blocked by wooden railingsThe worst part of the film was the way the german troops were depicted like james bond villains piling up in heaps . Very reminiscent of " Where Eagles Dare".Overall very disappointing.
That is what I call the "artistic liberties"... Agree with you there, and also one of the guys, Gabcik? Was going to marry his lady friend? Movie I saw still in Prague, showed very well trained soldiers, focusing on the mission, but this one did got the fact somewhat correct, mom was killed, Curda betrayed his team , and as we say back home... "one can buy a home for some money."...sad...glad it was shown here to help people understand and show history from a very small country , and the extend of that action ...
I would prefer to see your Czech version. Saw WARSAW 44 on dvd . Best war movie ive seen in years. European filmmakers are now outclassing Hollywood in this genre.
Guess you don't understand how films work.
