What happened to the other girl? (SPOILERS)


Mary, the one that was getting married to Jan.

She said her friend was shot while trying to run away during a street to street round up by the Nazi.

I stepped out twice after that: once to use the restroom and once to go get more popcorn and soda.

I must had missed something.

I am paraphrasing from something I put on another thread, but with regard to Jan Kubis’ girlfriend there some real confusion and I don’t know which way the story really went.

In this movie we see Maria, her death is not shown in the film, but she was captured and executed for her role in the resistance. In addition, there are some reports that she was pregnant with Kubis' baby at the time of her death, but it doesn’t seem that they are definitive.

Another woman, Anna Malinova, who we do not see in this movie, is often identified as Kubis’ actual girlfriend. She too was captured and she later died in a concentration camp.

I don’t know if that means one girlfriend was from the past, and one was from the present (“present” within the context of the movie), or if he was possibly seeing two women at the same time?

Since it seems both Anna and Maria worked in the resistance with Kubis, there is also the distinct possibility that one of them could have been just been a friend and cohort. They were working to undermine a police state, so they were necessarily living false lives anyway.

Basically we know both women died because they worked to undermine the Nazis. There is just a lack of clarity over which one was truly the girlfriend\fiancé.

Did they show what happened to Maria in the movie?

They showed what happened to her friend and they also showed the fate of the old lady with the husband and violinist son who helped them.

reply

No , they did not.

English is not my native language ...

Like I said, Maria Kovarnilkova’s death, “is not shown in the film.”

The time frame was out of scope, this movie ended in June 1942. She died months later. The Moravec family’s fate was included because it fell within the time frame as the rest of the story.

I also feel like we saw the family’s arrest and the torture of At’a because it directly resulted in the Nazis discovering where the parachutists were staying.

What happened to Maria is no less tragic, but it happened after the fact. I cannot remember if there was a reference to her in the final notes or not, but there should have been. Like the others, she died because she wanted to protect her country.

My husband watched the film with subtitles, and he said he thought that in the scene when the camera is moving down the hall toward the room where the boy is being tortured, the subtitle reads: "Maria: screaming". or something to that affect; giving the impression that she has been captured and is in a holding cell, or perhaps being tortured herself.

reply

Interesting. Sometimes subtitles are helpful like that.

I remember screaming, but given the context of time and place that would be expected. If it was Maria, they should have been a little more clear.

In real life she was not executed until October, the others died in June. I am not sure when she was actually captured.
