The structure is quite unique. The opening is the assassination, and then the flashback begins. The flashback is also divided into two parts. The flashback is divided into two parts, first telling the history of Heydrich's family, and then recounting the situation of the two Czech soldiers who performed the assassination mission. The two different narrative perspectives were finally integrated into the assassination and subsequent Nazi pursuit and revenge plots. The storytelling is quite smooth and the tone is very serious. The most shocking thing is to clean up the Jews and finally retaliate against the villagers. If you say kill, you will kill. Those who shoot do not hesitate to shoot, and those who are shot do not cry for mercy. When Heydrich's child was born, he was watching a video of the slaughter of Jews. Life and death are so quietly altered.
The film did not focus on exaggerating Heydrich’s crimes. It was just a scene to discuss the number of Jews in various European countries. However, when it was dying, it did not forget to hand over the Jewish massacre plan to Himmler, who came to visit. People are terrified of thinking carefully. Instead of showing the bravery of the Resistance Army and the underground party in full color, some life scenes were arranged between the two Czech soldiers and the two female correspondents. The relaxed atmosphere was also an emotional pavement for the subsequent death. The most confusing thing is that after the assassination, why did the relevant personnel not arrange to evacuate and transfer immediately? Although they received the assassination task temporarily, they also made a lot of preparations, and they should have a careful plan. Even if the two Czech soldiers are not easy to retreat, the two unrelated family members who are covering them can leave as soon as possible. Only one family is gone, and the other one stays and waits for death. Perhaps that was the case back then.
Hidden in the church, from the night of resistance to the next day, two Czech soldiers killed themselves in exchange for the death of Heydrich and the crazy revenge of the Nazis. The relevant underground party was almost annihilated, and a village had no distinction between men, women and children. They were all driven to extinction, including the Nazis who continued to slaughter the Jews frantically. How significant is this sacrifice? The film did not directly point out, but the scene of internal disputes between the Resistance Army was arranged before the execution of the assassination operation, so as to show doubts.
