1. Looking at the whole film, I only see that Mr. Churchill, a patient with severe alcohol addiction and mild stuttering, resisted an enemy who did not know where he came from, and then the people came to a climax for some unknown reason. These, I don't know why.
2. Don't tell me this is a real adaptation, go to the historical background, you illiterate. . . No no no, the illiterate tells you that at this moment, we discuss movies and nothing else. Anything that can't be explained clearly and properly performed in the movie is equal to nothing.
3. This is a one-man show by Mr. Churchill. But a one-man show needs a supporting cast. It's just blunt to say that the supporting characters in this film have no sense of existence. Chamberlain with a face of adultery, Halifax, a gentle scum, and Hitler and Mussolini who were scolded for being a scumbag but didn't show their hair, where is your power? Where is your fear? Tell me, how do you show the protagonist's red light and tallness in a scene like yours? Did the crew not have enough money?
4. In the final analysis, it is a question of script logic. The screenwriter's meaning is clear, you all know the history, and the characters are familiar to everyone, so I won't say more. My purpose is to show Mr. Key's shining style. However, without rendering the environment at the critical moment in place, your climax is just a self-improvement show. How "darkest" is "darkest", there must be a saying, could it be "darkest" only by dark lighting, gloomy set, symmetrical composition and slow camera movement? The director may say yes, I don't think so.
5. Churchill is a political figure and must follow political logic. A mass of smoky parliament, all kinds of corrupt and cowardly traitors, shouting slogans to get justice buff bonus, can not build the logical structure that an excellent biopic should have. Churchill in this film is more like a rude man from the army (he was really a war madman in history). rescue. Seriously, would the British, who always talk about elite politics, follow this suit? Are you really not at Black Churchill?
6. It must be mentioned that Mr. Churchill even learned the practice of grassroots inspections under the leadership of socialist countries, and also had cordial conversations with people at all levels. At that moment, my heart was filled with mixed feelings, and the voice of the long-lost news broadcast began in my heart. It's just that compared to our familiarity, this capitalist show can't be more blunt. Some people say that there is no problem, this is called listening to public opinion. But my God, isn't public opinion really a big river converging under the good inducement of BBC, CNN, and CCTV?
7. A person who controls the important equipment of the country, when he was dying, ran to the subway to hold a symposium, and then was inspired, won the inspiration, and understood the right direction of the country's progress - whether I believe it or not, there are people anyway. letter. The director probably believed it himself. But to tell the truth, politicians in that position really don’t understand that the bottom and the army are the natural main battles, while the aristocratic elites are the natural main peace? The old gentleman (lao liu mang) deliberately went to the House of Commons and the streets to stir up emotions, I can understand, although nothing new. But if you insist on making the picture as a lost Prime Minister, relying on the guidance of the people to find the way, I began to doubt my common sense.
8. Go back to the "adaptation of true events". In fact, for all the above complaints, the main creator can use "this is the real story" to protect the body. If all the details in the film are correct—I mean, everything, including Churchill’s account, is true and consistent with the film—then I might draw two conclusions: The way of connecting the so-called factual materials in series is also the way of most celebrity biopics; either, Mr. Churchill can only be a scapegoat who was pushed out to block bullets in the "darkest hour", but he was lucky, The Allies won, and he rose further into the altar rather than in ruin. (Of course, he will step down when the war is over, which is also in line with his deduction as a non-mainstream politician)
9. In short, no matter which conclusion it is, it is quite disappointing to think about it carefully. The famous words of Romain Rolland are still in my ears: "There is only one true heroism in the world, that is, after recognizing the truth of life and still loving life." I think it should be the case for a really good portrayal of political characters. The premise is knowing the truth, not obscuring, twisting, or piling up material -- something the film doesn't seem to do well.
PS: The soundtrack covers three ugliness, and the dubbing destroys everything. This is the truth as hard as a diamond. I admit that the dubbing may have greatly influenced my perception of the film. If the original soundtrack is in English, it will probably be more involved in the play. Just a little.
