This Cillian Murphy/Jamie Dornan Spy Movie Follows an Unsung WW2 Hero
While Cillian Murphy is set to be a household name with his lead role in the highly anticipated Oppenheimer, which is now in theaters, he came from much more humble beginnings. Early in his career, he drew critical acclaim for his roles in Irish independent films like the Palme d’Or Winner The Winds That Shake The Barley and Neil Jordan's Breakfast on Pluto.
Like any great spy film, Anthropoid develops the complex mindset that these men must be in as they plot their mission and try to maintain their secret identities. Taking out one of the most powerful men in the world is not a simple matter of firing a gunshot, and the actual Operation Anthropoid required the spies to go undercover for several months in order to map out when Heydrich would arrive and how they could pull off their assassination.
Comparing Murphy’s performance with Dornan’s role as Jan is interesting considering the two men’s differing approaches to spycraft. Dornan is attempting to add the sexuality of Fifty Shades of Grey here; Jan sees value in connecting himself socially with Prague civilians, as he knows that appearing to be “normal” will help keep their identities a secret and give their mission a higher chance at being successful.
