Milada

One of the best movies I have seen. Perfect actors performance. Very realistic and touching. Strong movie.

I was 9 years old when the communism finished in Czech and Slovakia. By seeing this movie I realized how lucky I was that it happened. Our whole family never involved in communist party so basically we could hardly effort anything. My aunty she could not study anything more than high school even she really wanted to do so. But as the father was not part of the communist group. She was not allowed. It was very strange times. Thanks God I was still very young when this night mare finished.

I have read Milada's biography - sadly this movie does not do her justice.

The production values are irrelevant, a badly told story is a badly told story.

Very disappointing.

Milada Horáková, politician and human rights activist, fights against everything and everyone to defend her beliefs in communist Czechoslovakia.

"Is every woman with an opinion hysterical to you, sir?" this line sums up the film well, and the thinking of the time, a phrase still commonly used for women with difficult temperaments... A magnificent biography about a democratic politician who fought against the Nazis, being arrested, and post-war hanged by the communist party of Czechoslovakia under trumped up accusations of conspiracy and treason, for not agreeing to be in opposition to the government, unfair, revolting, beautiful, dramatic and exciting...

I loved this film, by the way... Almost nobody watched it... A right wing brazilian congresswoman told me to check it out! Wonderful but sad story.

It remembers me my country. What is happening now in Brazil is a disgrace... We have the best President of all time, in our country. The media is 99% Far Left. The Supreme Court is 100% Left wing. They don't let President Bolsonaro rule the country! Just because he is Conservative. We had corrupt socialists and communists for the last 35 years. The media is desperate to remove Bolsonaro, because his government stoped most of the billion dollars sponsorships from before... As well most of the funds for culture. That's why some actors make a daily international campaign against Bolsonaro. It's so unfair. The communists are everywhere. Only God can help us.

This was a well-scripted, decently acted docu-drama about a little known but incredibly courageous woman who held her own against the Nazis and then the Communists.

There were some issues on editing and timelines certainly, but I think we need to look at the bigger picture here rather than that which could have been done better production and direction-wise.

This was a woman of remarkable courage and bravery who had a set of core values to which we should all be inspired by, and emulate as best we can.

Having said that, despite integrity, honesty, decency, compassion and the highest of service being amongst the very best of values to which all of us should aspire ( as she did ), one questions as to why Milada did not have the wisdom to leave when she had the chances to do so. And which resulted in her evil execution and endangerment to her family. I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but I have the very strong instinct that Milada had the foresight that this might happen.

But this detracts in no way from a lady who was not just a true Czech hero, but one who is a hero to us all...
