The whole film is based on the real history of the Czech Republic during World War II, and the whole plot is also well restored. Perhaps the core behind this incident is whether it is advisable to blindly use equally powerful revenge to show attitude towards power politics without adequate preparation. Blind revenge can lead to greater destruction and disaster, but sometimes people need blood and impulse to wake up.
In a small country like the Czech Republic, before and after World War II, the regime, including the people, were manipulated and even played by big countries like chess pieces.
In addition to the familiar Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan, the casting in the film also includes Harry Lloyd, who has acted in the popular drama "Game of Thrones". Every actor can be called acting online. Even remarkable. A beautiful face in the choice of actors will attract fans, which is indeed an advantage, but every guerrilla is so beautiful, it will reduce the characteristics of the characters, make it difficult for people to distinguish the characters of different people in the group play, and hinder the The portrayal of the characters is actually a waste of such good looks.
Fortunately, the overall effort of the actors and the director's scheduling somewhat make up for some of the shortcomings of the image being too unified.
There is still a contrast between Jamie Dornan's role and the type of roles he's often played in the past. The transformation of his task state is very good in terms of plot, has his own tension, Murphy encourages, Murphy makes mistakes, he comforts Murphy, and it is very interesting to encourage others to grow.
Two of the female characters are a bit tasteless, each girl speaks half of it, and they are gone, and they only occupy the eyeballs. Love in war is beautiful, but it is not necessarily necessary in war films.
Although it is a handheld shot, the editing speed is fast and smooth, the reason should be to support the overall pace from slow to fast.
The director should have been moved by the protagonist's deeds, which made people imagine that it would be quite interesting if it were made into a narrative structure like Fight Club.
So the problem arises. It's too balanced, it's done everywhere, and it's not prominent everywhere. It's neither commercial enough, nor literary enough. The director's commercial compromise on the plot makes the film appear politically weak. It emphasizes individual heroism, and ignores the inherent importance of the interests of the great powers in the war.
It is best to have more bright spots in the plot, otherwise the mean will bury the deep meaning.
For example:
flashbacks,
simplification of the girl's play
, the massacre of Heydrich and the poisoning of the hospital by biological weapons, increasing the situation on the British side.
Of course, it is easy to say, but the difficulty and cost of choreography are not just words.
Fortunately, although Heydrich's final ending was not mentioned in the film, he was indeed killed because of the assassination after being sent to the hospital.
