Czech films are very successful on Netflix, at least on the domestic one. Last week, we informed you that the most watched film on Czech Netflix is the Czech crime sci-fi film The Tipping Point. Needless to say, a week later it is still in fourth place. He released the imaginary golden section to another Czech film that Netflix recently enriched, namely the film Brothers, which arrived in cinemas at the end of October last year.

The description of the film on čsfd.cz is as follows:The film Brothers tells one of the greatest stories of the Cold War about the resistance group of brothers Josef (Oskar Hes) and Ctirad Mašín (Jan Nedbal). The Mašín family becomes a target of persecution in communist-controlled Czechoslovakia, and the brothers believe that following the example of their father, a hero of the anti-Nazi resistance, the only way to fight against the dictatorship is with a gun in hand. At the same time, they are aware of their responsibility towards their mother (Tatiana Dyková Vilhelmová) and sister (Karolína Lea Nováková). They establish a resistance group that is responsible for a series of violent acts, the investigation of which is entrusted to the captain of the State Security Koller (Stefan Konarske). Machinists become the most wanted men in the country. They try to escape to West Berlin, where they plan to join the American army with the goal of liberating Czechoslovakia. The search for five members of a resistance group continues in East Germany, where one of the biggest manhunts in modern history begins. Few topics in Czech history arouse as many emotions as the story of the film Brothers."
According to the evaluation, it is one of the better films that have been made recently. The film Brothers was nominated for 15 Czech Lions. You can find the trailer below the paragraph.
They were ordinary murderers. Nothing else. They belonged under the guillotine.
Well, not the guillotine, but at least 20 years and then deal with them according to their behavior. I don't understand how they could consider themselves heroes by setting people on fire with straw, and then by suchpackMurder by escape.
They were patriots and fought for the freedom that the Communists illegally seized. They wanted a return to democracy after the Communists unleashed the Red Terror in Czechoslovakia.
You will be a very sharp pencil in the pencil case... go and look at history a little more than from the reading book for the 1st grade of elementary school... unfortunately the communists took over here completely legally and after the betrayal of the West, you might have voted for them out of anger. Now we're joking, but it was different at the time.
I honestly didn't know much about them. After reading somewhere, I found out what they actually fought against the regime, etc. Thanks for me, it's far from "heroes" and resistance.
Where specifically in that film did they fight for something other than themselves and where specifically did they present themselves differently than murderers?
Netflix is rolling 😂😂😂. I only have a paid promo in the Czech Republic😂😂😂. Nobody knows except for him 😂.
A message to all the Swedes and Super-Czechs who show off their super-Czech knowledge and Czech intelligence in this discussion - you are poor people!!!
You are sitting on your ass in the screwed up, stolen, collapsed (both morally and economically) Czechia and you are grinding your stupid nonsense. And you still believe how brilliant and intelligent you are.
Unfortunately, I was born in this country, grew up under the Communists, served the war (I finished shortly after 89) and then did everything to leave here for a more civilized country.
After many years in Germany and England, fate brought me to America. I wanted to stay there, but it was not my wish. Not only because I am also (only) Czech (and I am really ashamed of it) and I have never been to any of my governments. nestThank you for negotiating an easier path for me to visas and citizenship. I only regret that I did not secure German citizenship in time, because with a German passport I could have stayed in the US. But this discussion is about the movie – I was sad after watching it. I was sad that the reasons why those guys wanted freedom and literally shot themselves out of that Czech hell at great risk never went away.
After having to come back here for many reasons (visas being one of them), I haven't come out of the depression and crisis resulting from the horror here for six whole years.
I have traveled the whole world (not like a typical Czech tourist who is only interested in food, a view of the sea and a sunbed "secured" by a towel all day long), I experienced difficult beginnings, culture shocks, but returning back to the Czech Republic was and is for me for the sixth year already the worst shock from which I cannot recover.
Every country is made only by the people who live in it. Their culture, morals, ability to cooperate (this is the most important in any community) and learn new things (or at least learn).
As some have rightly noted in this didkus, communists are not Martians that someone put us here after the war. They are the people, the representatives of the morality of this nation. It wasn't the communists who treated the "others" like pigs here. This was the majority sample of this nation, which always behaves like a herd of sheep and goes where the others go and where the fool drives them - whether it is Stalin, Husak, Hitler, Brezhnev, or Zeman.
I'm not at all surprised when this stupid and evil nation shot in its own ranks and executed intelligent heroes, the bushes could deviate from the herd, those guys wanted freedom so much that they decided to risk everything and just shoot their way out.
The policemen they took with them were also just humbly serving the regime. I don't agree with the only scene - he really shouldn't have cut the bound and asleep cop.
It's hard to think why he did it and what was going through his mind at that moment - revenge for his dad? I don't know. But those who condemned Milada Horáková and many other heroes who naively thought that this nation needed help would rather deserve the guillotine. And also all those whistleblowers and judges from the people and unwilling, envious neighbors and...
I'm really not surprised by those guys...
And why was I sad after the movie? I understood that nothing has changed here even in those decades. There was never, is, and never will be freedom, and the only way out of this cauldron is to get out of here as quickly as possible. Resistance is worthless - what to fight for and against whom? Against an entire nation that only knows how to insult, slander, cheat and condemn to the guillotine the more capable ones who at least decided to move somewhere? Resistance for people who barricaded themselves in their "dens" for decades (the legendary film describes it exactly) and blame their collective guilt on the "virtual" communists? Is it worth fighting for a nation that has repeatedly elected a drunkard and a scoundrel as president in direct elections for two electoral terms, who only caused shame wherever he put his foot? Is it worth setting up a resistance for a nation that has never stood up and fought for its rights? For a nation that grinds nonsense in discussions and doesn't even realize its smallness and limitations?
The only thing worth it is to sweat a lot, work for citizenship, education and a home somewhere in a more civilized world and forget as quickly as possible about that country, which continues to be surrounded by barbed wire, although the real, physical ones have been replaced by the imaginary ones created by the "nation yourself". I support and understand the Mašín brothers.
Well, this is really good manure. You should have stayed in that foreign country. And why didn't they give you a visa or citizenship? I personally know a lot of people who got it without any problems.
As they say, the fish stinks from the head, and there will be something to it.
David, I understand that most Czechs do not understand you from their perspective, just like the machines, because they lack the outside view, and for them abroad is a ski slope or a towel on the beach. I've never lived abroad, but I've been working in Germany for a number of years, even though the euro was not adopted, and even though there are a lot of smart people in the Czech Republic, you can still feel the lack of perspective among the majority of the population and bragging about the art of our ancestors, which has long been gone . Cursing the EU, and anyone who wants to disturb us. Instead of reforms, gossiping, instead of work, complaining. The time of cheap labor on which we got rich for 30 years, and which we wasted, is rubbish. The future is Babiš, expensive energy, cheap labor for a cheap crown in assembly plants. I would show any youngster after school the machines and say, you're lucky you can go and you don't have to shoot. So what are you waiting for?
I wouldn't hail them as heroes, but I wouldn't call them murderers either. They led an uncompromising resistance like their father during the war. When a forest is felled, chips fly. The opinions "they are murderers" speak more about the naivety and ignorance of the history and conditions of the given time of the owners of these opinions than about the Machines themselves.
Strange you were not wanted to stay in the US? Interesting, many Czechs lived there for many years and achieved something, for example Jágr, Satoranský, Hertl and many others. Are you the only one who had to leave the US because you are Czech? What on earth are you talking about and why bother here?
I was born under harsh totalitarianism and I enjoyed the mutilation of the communists, the raids on every Comanche, that was a joke, they are not people... this is a verbage that does not deserve mercy... unfortunately, the former communists still ruled us and are still ruling us.... I am comforted by the fact that they are old and dying but very slowly
