It is also a coincidence. I went to see "Justice League" last week and saw the poster of this movie in the theater. I saw that it will be released next week, so I plan to watch it next week. However, on 11.24, the entire theater was only scheduled to show on this day, and there was only one show throughout the day. When I bought the tickets, I was still hesitating whether to watch this movie. In the end, I saw only five people including me when I bought the tickets. Still choose this movie.
Contrary to what I expected, I thought the film would revolve around the assassination, starting with the assassin and telling the story of how they grew up and eventually started the assassination. Unexpectedly, the film started with Heydrich's growth. It tells how this Nazi party member became a Gestapo step by step. I have to say that Heydrich does have his talents, and maybe he can become an excellent farmer (laughs), but he can use his abilities better in the intelligence department. Although the first half of his life was a bit bumpy, he finally made it up by his own ability.
On the contrary, the two paratroopers did not describe too much. As soon as they appeared on the field, they started their actions. They landed, connected, and completed in one go. When everything was ready, the assassination operation began.
Similar to "Dunkirk", when the action started, the sound of a stopwatch was used instead of the background music, and the rhythm became rapid. At a critical moment, the machine gun jammed and a grenade was thrown under the car. I thought the assassination failed. Yes, and later I checked the information and found out that it was a specially made biochemical weapon. No wonder Heydrich died later.
The most shocking thing about the whole film is the 30 minutes at the end of the film. It was originally a happy ending, but in order to avenge Heydrich, Hitler created the Lidice massacre. The entire village was shot in rows. This scene I can't forget it in my mind for a long time. And several rebels finally decided to use their own sacrifices to reduce such retaliatory massacres. When the German army rushed into the joint's house, the joint people took poison and committed suicide. Finally the Germans blocked their last stronghold - the church.
On June 18, 1942, the German army surrounded the church, and seven paratroopers held the church for 14 hours. Finally, when the paratroopers ran out of submachine gun bullets, all four committed suicide by taking poison.
This is the true description of this history that I found on Baidu. There are only a few figures, but it seems to be more real than the fierce battle in the church at the end. When the two paratroopers were finally trapped in the basement, they were cornered step by step, and they finally committed suicide by embracing each other. At the end of the film, when the two meet, they still don't know what their future will be like. And it was this group of unknown people who changed the course of history. I am very fortunate to witness this history, and I am also grateful to these unsung heroes in World War II.
