Best movie of this year hands down!
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The acting in this movie is really good.
When l've been about to take this movie l realize that Gary Oldman was Churchill, i'm affraid to face how it could be,but the advanced technichs of make up is really remarkable,overcame this hurdle Oldman shines as never,stunning performance, the highlights don't stop here,also has a surprise,the movie covered five early hard weeks after Winston take over the charge of Prime Minister,a wised screemplay proven that they were get the target and somehow explain the title,of course the picture has a nationalism approach,have several Winston's facets disguised here but under light of lucidness,but no one could deny Winston's legacy,if the Britain was made a peace agreement certainly today the history changes for good!!!Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: Blu-ray / Rating: 9.25
I think Joe Wright did a good job of illustrating the conditions in England under the breath of war. There were difficult times while the chaos went on, and England needed a good leader to help them through the "dark hours". Winston Churchill was a role wonderfully performed by Gary Oldman, and he also won the "Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role" (2018) Oscar. The authors have done a very good job with script, and the story is very well written. That's a good script in combination with a good actor for the role. I also very much like Lily James role as his secretary, Elilzabeth Layton. Furthermore, the cinematography is very well done. Set and costume design and editing are also good, and I love the sound.
Glorifying a mass murderer, bigot & racist. How he is any different from Hitler, Idi Amin or Mugabe. People don't care because he was responsible for deaths of brown & black people.
I'll give it 10 due to Gary Oldman and his astonishing acting as Winston Churchill. No one would be able to do this except Gary Oldman. He is remarkable in this movie. Great history and a amazing story full with great performance from all actors.
