The news of a new Colin Firth movie never goes unnoticed. Especially when it comes to a historical film, based on true events, such as this time Operation Mincemeat. You may have heard of the movie by now, since it was ready and waiting in the drawer for quite some time. However, next month it is expected to finally make its premiere on the Netflix platform.
In Operation Mincemeat, Colin Firth plays a British captain who tries to deceive Hitler.
We are in 1943, when the forces of Europe are trying to find a plan to stop Hitler’s course in the rest of Europe. What they are thinking is to attack him in Sicily, however that would be quite expected. Their goal is to deceive and disorient him in the right way, in order to gain ground. So, together with MI5, they think it would be “smart” to use the body of a dead man as a scapegoat. On this body would be various documents that would contain fake information about the next moves of the united forces, in order to completely disorient the German forces.
Most British officers, of course, had many doubts about this plan. To many it seemed particularly daring, and its success questionable. The basis of the largest plan ever devised would be based on a single “agent”: a corpse washed up off the coast of Spain.
Colin Firth as Ewen Montagu proves once again his greatness in acting
Having sent his family to America to escape Hitler’s danger, he and his associates in England begin to devise their plan. Of course, the most intense moments in this process take place when trying to think of every detail and failure of a plan that by nature is quite dubious. Montagu is presented as a man quite ambitious but also insecure at the same time who is essentially playing his last card against the German forces.
The film will be released on May 11 on Netflix.
