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.

Darkest Hour quotes

  • Winston Churchill: D'you know, I've never ridden a bus? I've never queued for bread. I believe I can boil an egg... but only because I've seen it done. The only time I tried riding the Underground was during the General Strike. Clemmie dropped me off at South Kensington station. I went down but got lost. I came straight back up! It was awful.

  • [having accepted the post of Prime Minister, Churchill must now have regular meetings with the King]

    Sir Anthony Eden: You only have to meet him once a week.

    Winston Churchill: But that's like saying you only have to have your tooth pulled once a week.
