A life: Anthony Hopkins is the “English Schindler”
The film is expected in French cinemas on February 21st A life worn by Anthony Hopkins, tells the true story of Sir Nicholas Winton, nicknamed the “English Schindler” who, before the outbreak of the Second World War, he saved 669 Czechoslovakian children, many of them Jewish, some died in Nazi concentration camps. At the time, Czechoslovakia was effectively occupied by Nazi Germany.
He organized the transport by train of these hundreds of children, who were welcomed by their families in England. Unfortunately the last train, which was supposed to carry 250 children, was canceled after the outbreak of the Second World War. Many of these children died in the camps.
The story of Sir Nicholas Winton is particularly moving, because he had never told his loved ones about this heroic act of his life. It was by chance that her wife discovered, in 1988, what her husband had done. Hosting a BBC show that same year, he discovered, shocked, that some of the children he had saved were in the audience. This sequence went around the world and the trailer of A lifealso highlights it:
A great start in England
Already released in the UK, the film starring Anthony Hopkins is off to a great start, with more than four million dollars in revenue for its first weekend. So she did better than The assassins of the Flower MoonOR The Fabelmans. It must be said that Sir Nicholas Winton, knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003, is a well-known figure across the Channel.
His death in 2015, at the age of 106, moved the entire nation, and the then Prime Minister, David Cameron, paid tribute to him by declaring:
The world has lost a great man. We must never forget the humanity shown by Sir Nicholas Winton in saving so many children from the Holocaust
