(They are unafraid of success. We in Great Britain and in Europe are formed mainly by our history. They on the other hand are formed by their philosophy. Not by what has been, but by what can be.)
Politicians in this world are very Interesting: People from the middle and lower classes are often the most supportive of capitalism and the free market, while people from better backgrounds always want to engage in socialist revolution; the most radical revolutionaries when they are young become the most brutal conservatives when they are old , while lifelong conservative politicians become extremely radical as they get older.
Thatcher must belong to the first two. I've always wondered why it's human nature, that Thatcher, who was originally a representative of the common people, is spurned by the most British people today. The woman, Margaret, accidentally wrote her original surname when she signed her memoir, but her political career began with "Thatcher," as her husband put it, when she owned Thatcher Only after this surname can she begin to be truly accepted by the Conservative Party.
When she got an offer from Oxford, the grocer's mother only said "My hands are still damp", but an Oxford degree didn't help Thatcher in the The House of Representatives has won so much respect that the lady members room in the House of Representatives only provides ironing boards and irons for female members. In all group photos, thatcher is a male jungle outlier. When she was running for Conservative Party leadership, all the family didn't understand. She was a hero when the country was in deep trouble. After that, however, the people no longer needed her.
A woman in the film says to Thatcher after the party "I want you to know how encouraging your women, like me, are". Thatcher replied that "people in the past were always trying to do something, and now people are always trying to be someone". The significance of some people is that the difference in this world is whether there is such a person or not. Thatcher is obviously such a person, and her existence lets others know that there is such a possibility. What puzzles me the most is that this person who has changed so much of himself is always considered to be the most conservative right wing.
The way the director speaks the story is not provocative, it just narrates Thatcher's life, but it is a little disgusting to modify the historical facts to suit the mood. For example, the United Kingdom's dispatch of troops to Argentina is not a strong performance, but on the contrary, it is a weak one under the pressure of the United States. kind of performance.
5 points for Meryl Streep's superb acting, which restores Thatcher's voice and smile without damage. -1 point for the director's strong obscenity, adding up to a total of four points.
