live to death

When the British citizens shouted "Never", I believe that the Prime Minister has made his own decision; when the foreign cabinet said that the British government will never be allowed to become Hitler's puppet, I believe that the future in Churchill's eyes is clearer. Negotiations cannot bring peace. Negotiations are transactions in the eyes of a few people, and the results of transactions are unpredictable.

At this time, I realized more deeply that "failure is the final test of perseverance, and the truth is only within the range of cannons." Use the three aspects of "economy", "military" and "people" to measure "power" based on previous reading experience. , the film ends with "military" preservation (Dunkirk evacuation) and "people" support (speech). In this film, I feel the way of speech is to express the most secret expectations in the heart of the "people", to resonate and reach an agreement. In today's society, it can still be done through propaganda work. This is the most important part of the above three aspects.

Following the current world, the convenience of information also affects the attitude of modern people towards national decision-making to a certain extent, thus making the public opinion field one of the battlefields. Therefore, the identification of information sources has become a content that needs to be paid attention to.

The pursuit of the concept of "freedom" does not take into account the connection between people in society and the connection between China and the country in the world. It is like chasing an illusion and failing, and complaining about the water reflecting the moonlight.

For Churchill's interpretation, I feel that the image of majesty is missing, but it does not affect the final scene, and the sense of atmosphere and oppression is just right. It is precisely because of tension and depression that when the people are still full of confidence and cry out that they will never surrender, tears will follow, and the question of who to fight for will be solved.

The battlefield is not necessarily on the front line. The twists and turns of the rear, the treacherous politics, still need to be unafraid of victims.

"Success is not the end, failure is not the end, only courage is eternal." History is never tender.

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.
