Powerful

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Admirable film.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This film explores the narrow line between victory and defeat. Winston Churchill was and still is a great leader that led Britain from the jaws of defeat into victory and this film describes that moment beautifully, For me there was a little too much emphasis on his legendary drinking and today we are not going to know the full reality in that area. There are some English speakers crticising Churchill today who would not be alive today or be free to speak criticism, if it were not for him.Both my parents lived through and participated in World War II and everyone that I knew from that generation said that without Churchill we would have lost the war. I believe those that were there and not the armchair critics of today.The level of betrayal by some people within Parliament and in the aristocracy was something that I had not really appreciated before this film and I am sure that this film has got that right. Now I can see why Rudolph Hess, the Deputy Leader of the German Nazi Party thought it was safe to parachute into Scotland. Luckily for us he was caught and arrested by a humble honest farmer and never made it to the the traitorous aristocrats that he expected to help him.These are lessons that we need to learn and remember.

However this movie has good story, good cast and good cinematograph but main point that makes this movie so great is Gary oldman. Gary oldman he does such as great acting that no one can deniable. When in the beginning you see him directly give you image about Churchill how he speaks, how he thinks and how he decide for important issues. His acting too convince that always your eyes on him while this movie is drama and sometimes drama movie is boring but this movie when you watching it you don't want to end, I think most of this return to gary oldman's acting.The story of movie is about some days of the beginning of the 1940s that british government argument about are they should stop war against nazi or continue. Churchill he prefers to cantinue war and he doesn't want peace with them. He face many problems many opposition for that.In include while almost every thing in the movie is perfect but main point that makes this movie so great it's gary oldman's acting

Whilst this film was an enjoyable watch, the overuse of CGI ruined so many scenes and reduced them to computer game standard. Otherwise there is every reason to sit back and enjoy quality acting with very high drama moments

Of course it was a magnificent performance from the always great Gary Oldman. I think we always knew it was going to be the case. From the trailers and from a long history of fine performances from the man.It was easy to forget it was actually him with all the blubber around his jowls, taking on the doubters all around him as he tries desperately to find a way to lift the mood of the nation with the mighty German army about to push the last of the British troops into the sea on the northern coast of France.It was almost a behind-the-scenes sequel to the movie Dunkirk as we work towards the civilian fleet sailing off across The Channel to pick up the stranded soldiers.And thanks for the help America!They certainly build the mood nicely as we feel the pressure mounting on Mr Winston, who has to make some pretty tough decisions with a war cabinet pressing for a peace deal with Hitler."YOU CANNOT REASON WITH A TIGER WHEN YOUR HEAD IS IN ITS MOUTH!", he screams at Chamberlain and Halifax.Given my knowledge of the big cat family, I'm not sure you can reason with a tiger at any time actually. But then again, maybe with a nice juicy steak. Hitler of course was a famous vegetarian, so I don't think a 12oz ribeye would do the trick.Of course there were some fine performances from the supporting cast too. Ducky from Four Weddings was superb in her part as Mrs Churchill, as well as Aussie Ben Mendelson in his role as the King.I do have to wonder if anybody in the 1940's could actually pronounce their R's properly. Or should I say 'pwoperly'. Many of the characters seemed to suffer from this.It was also interesting to see the internal anguish that Winston was going through after being thrown in at the deep end. Because of course, we all know how it all turned out so it's easy to forget just how hard those tough decisions of sending men to certain death must have been for a man trying to save a nation.But thanks to a scene with Winston talking to the the real people on the ground, or rather Underground, it was made clear that the British people would rather die than bow down to fascists. Upon looking up whether this situation actually took place, it appears it didn't, but rather was put in for dramatic effect. However, it very well could have in a different way given Mr Churchill's tendency to go missing on occasion and apparently often to go talking to your every day person on the street. Either way, it was a fantastic scene that summed up the resolve of the British people at a very dark time.Mr Oldman must surely be up for an award, if not the top award for his portrayal of the man who refused to bow down to tyranny marching its way across Europe.
