Timely award-winning film

Every awards season, there will be many movies targeting performance awards that "appear at the right time". After that, most of these movies have become ashes in the corners of history and have been left unattended. Darkest Hour's lineup at least lives up to its name in a movie of this type, with a powerful performance that makes the film surprisingly impressive, with Gary Oldman only "appearing" about For a few minutes and then you see almost a convincing Churchill, the same goes for the supporting cast, Ben Mendelsohn, Kristin Scott Thomas, Stephen Dillane, every single one of them is doing their part for the role It's solid and credible and blends into the film's own logic. But the most impressive thing is probably the pride of the people of the British Empire that cannot be completely eliminated even if they are knocked out. But in addition, Joe Wright seems to be too self-repeating in the scheduling of film techniques. The bridge at the end basically reproduces the British Conservative Party leader Comrade Churchill in the form of images: "Everything is for the masses, everything depends on the masses, From the masses, to the masses" fine work style, this expression is correct, but nothing new.

    This film can give a damn 8.6 points, and my appreciation level for Douyou is also satisfied. Originally intended to give Oldman three stars, but the last speech said: My island lost our colony and then fought for us. I just want to say that you all know the importance of independence, how can you colonize others without any ambiguity? The heroic sacrifice of the British Empire full of hypocrisy. Don't forget that besides Dunkirk there is also Leningrad! bad movie!

    Joe White's movies have a problem, too long-winded

Darkest Hour quotes

  • Winston Churchill: [in his first speech as Prime Minister] But now one bond unites us all. To wage war until victory is won, and never to surrender ourselves to servitude and shame. Whatever the cost and the agony may be, conquer we must, as conquer we shall.

  • Winston Churchill: Do I have your, uh, permission, uh, to send, uh, an aircraft carrier to pick up the P-40 fighter planes we purchased from you? Mr. President?

    President Roosevelt: Well, you-you've got me there again. New law preventing transshipment of military equipment.

    Winston Churchill: Uh, but we paid for them. We-we paid for them with the money that we... that we borrowed from you.
