Review of Anthropoid (2016) by Waleed A — 15 Aug 2016
This compelling film moved me as few others have. The final 30 minutes of the parachutists holding out in the Cathedral is as gripping as the Omaha Beach landing scene of Saving Private Ryan. I have recommended this movie to all of my friends, and I do so here.
Prague has become one of the top destinations for American tourists. And this film provides depth and weight to what once was the capital of Europe, a city tortured in the 20th century by both Hitler and Stalin.
A trip to Prague is incomplete without a visit to the Nazi machine gun pock marks on the Cathedral of St. Cyril and Methodius. This important movie tells the story of those bullet holes, a glimpse into the horror show of life under a demagogue.
