2. The authentic British films of the new era inherit the unique humor* in the content of the lines and the heavy literary sense in the form. The performance style of the hero and heroine, even the British style, is still so superficially calm, calm, and even so A little pretentious indifference and dignified, but inside is extremely sensitive, excited and emotional.
*(Humor can be understood here as a kind of uninhibited, unorthodox, or incongruous; something that creates sudden, unsuspecting surprises that make people burst out of inertia/burst into repressed emotions Feeling)
3. The shaping of Prime Minister Churchill is too utilitarian if the word success is used to describe it (this sentence is not hypocritical at all). You can barely feel Gary Oldman's performance, traces of his performance are nowhere to be found. You don't get the sense that he's trying very hard to reach a historical figure, to try to shape something. The actor himself is almost seamless with the character, naturally. He is Churchill, the political figure in the darkest hour, the Conservative Party who is not convinced, George VI is not optimistic but is the only British people who can be trusted by the British people at that time, and the only British who Hitler will be a little afraid of. At the same time, he is also a man who puts the interests of the people first and the family second (as it is said in the movie), a kind of cute old boy who never seems to grow up in front of his wife. Gary Oldman's performance makes people forget it's a movie, as if watching a documentary. His gestures are empathetic, a sense of the responsibilities and pressures of being a wartime prime minister, and the pain of being a British man in the face of war.
4. Of course, the film's wonderful presentation of all aspects of the character of Prime Minister Churchill is inseparable from the interpretation of Mrs. Churchill, the heroine Christine Scott Thomas. The only lines I wrote down word for word in the whole play were Mrs. Churchill's words to comfort Churchill: you are strong, because you are imperfect; you are wise, because you have doubts. Kst's films are almost always in English or French. See, her emotions are too full, just a mouth will resonate with people. In this film, the image of a woman who sacrificed her family for her country is truly awe-inspiring and moving. And only this woman can give Winston Churchill the motherly tolerance and understanding, support and relief. A woman is tired, because she is required.
5. Finally, I want to talk about the director, the control of the camera, the advancement of the plot, without a word of nonsense, very good, very good.
6. Post a classic line
1. When you are in power, you should take advantage of the prosperous times. At that time, you are full of energy, young and strong, and when youth is not there, you have to rely on wisdom to prove it.
2. The knife is on the neck, how can you reason with the butcher.
3. There is no final success or fatal failure. The most valuable thing is the courage to keep going. ——Churchill
4. For all creatures in the world, death will come sooner or later. In order to protect the remains of the ancestors and the temple of faith, we must face the strong enemy and fight to the death.
5. Although you are not perfect, you are very strong, you have doubts, so you are very wise.
6. I have nothing to offer, only blood, hard work, tears and sweat.
7. People who don't know how to change their minds can't change anything.
8. No matter how terrifying, we must strive for victory, no matter how far and difficult the road is, we must strive for victory, because without victory, we cannot survive.
9. No one expects what you will say next, sometimes flattering, sometimes hurtful.
10. If you can avoid the ending of defeat, then there is nothing to praise in heroic battles. If you know that bloody battles are sure to die, but do not strive for honor, what is patriotism, and try to shorten a war that we are doomed to lose, this is not good. shameful.
11. Those countries that fight to the end will rise again, and those countries that surrender obediently will perish.
12. Whoever is afraid of you as prime minister in this country, no one is as afraid as Hitler, whoever has the courage to do it knowingly, deserves the trust of all of us.
13. If our long history of England must come to an end, then let history come to an end with our sacrifices one after another on our own land.
14. What the masses want is leadership, not misleading. They need a leader to guide them.
15. Why do they prefer to choose villains, but also to exclude loyal ministers who can control the overall situation?
16. Someone once scolded me, I said enough, this is my greatest honor, if you praise me... someone hates me, thank someone for the compliment.
17. I like what he said, but we must not listen to his advice. He can come up with 100 ideas a day, 4 of them are good ideas, and the remaining 96 are all bad ideas.
18. To Brigadier General Nicholson and all the soldiers of the 30th Infantry Brigade in Calais, every hour of your existence in the world is the greatest help to our troops in Dunkirk, and I stand firm for you. Courage, with the highest respect, but you, regrettably, must never retreat, and I repeat, never retreat.
19. Some of you may not know that I quit the night before the wedding, but I have cancelled two engagements before I was 21 years old. I am afraid that I may have a reputation for running away from marriage. It would be a bit rude to cancel another engagement. But I think the real reason for regretting marriage is because I know that even then, he will put the people's well-being first, but this will become a heart disease of a young girl, worried that she will always be ranked first in his mind two. It was the same after marriage, and it didn't take long for our children to accept the same, and we all accepted it in our own way.
20. I have nothing to offer, only blood, hard work, tears and sweat. We have before us a most painful ordeal, and we have lived through many, many long struggles and years of suffering. You will ask, what is our policy, and that is to use all our power, all the strength God has given us, to fight on sea, on land, and in the air, against a tyrant who is dark and miserable, unprecedented in the history of sin, and utterly vicious , this is our policy. You may ask, what is our goal? I answer in one word, victory, fight for victory at all costs, no matter how terrifying, no matter how far and hard the road is, because there is no survival without victory.
21. For the first time I address you as Prime Minister, our homeland, our empire, our allies, and most importantly, our cause of liberty, is facing a moment of life and death, as France and Flanders are doing. A great war, the Germans, through an excellent combination of aerial bombardment and heavy armored tanks, had broken through the French defenses north of the Maginot Line, their mighty armored forces were ravaging the open French soil, without encountering in the first day or two any defense, personally, I have unshakable confidence in the French army and its generals, this outstanding army, only a small part of the army is engaged in the fierce battle, only a small part of the French territory is invaded, The peoples of England and France fought side by side and marched in gear, not only to save Europe, but all of humanity from the most vicious and soul-destroying tyranny that had cast a shadow over history and stained its pages, but now a bond Unite us and fight to victory, never surrender, never accept slavery and humiliation, no matter what the cost, unless we win, we must win, we must win.
22. Now I want to talk about the issue of aggression again. I find that in the long historical years, we have never made an absolute guarantee to the people about resisting aggression, but I myself have full confidence. , if everyone is loyal to their duties, without any mistakes, and everything is carefully arranged as it is now, then we will prove once again that we can withstand the storm of war, the threat of tyranny, to defend our motherland, it is necessary It is the determination of His Majesty's government, the determination of every member of the government, and the will of the parliament and the people of the whole country. The British Empire and the French Republic have common goals and needs, and the peoples of both countries will join hands to defend their homeland to the death. Like comrades, do everything in your power to support each other. Although large swathes of Europe and many well-known ancient countries have fallen into, or may fall into, the hands of the Gestapo and the hateful Nazi puppets, we will never be discouraged, never compromise, and we must persevere to the end. We will fight in France, we will fight on the sea with the Germans, we will fight in the air, the whole army will become more confident and stronger the more we fight, and we will defend our country at any cost. We will fight on the beaches, we will fight on the enemy's landing sites, we will fight in the fields and streets, we will fight in the mountains, and we will never surrender. Even if the British Isles, or most of them, fall into the hands of the enemy, and cause famine, I would not believe it in the slightest, for there are still our overseas possessions, armed and guarded by the British Empire fleet, to continue the struggle until God When it sees the right time, there will be a new world who will come forward and contribute their full power to save and liberate this old world, go forward, win, win.
The verse quoted in the subway: Roman hero Horaceus: After persuading the other two warriors, Horaceius almost single-handedly stood in the way of the enemy. Eventually, with roars and screams, the bridge to Rome collapsed. After praying to the Tiber god, Horaceus jumped into the water and swam back to the opposite bank safely.
Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
"To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods?" - "Horatius" by Thomas Babington Macaulay
Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts
Success is not the end, failure is not the end, only courage is eternal
