I went to see it alone. On Friday night, I got off work on time and couldn't find any better entertainment, so I just entered a movie theater and watched a movie. My habit of choosing movies is that there are British ones but not American ones, American ones not Japanese ones, and Japanese ones not domestic ones. I always like things that are a little more Western. I don't know if it's considered foreign-loving, but it's a habit anyway.

Coincidentally that day, it was just an American movie, "Iron Lady", I bought a ticket and went in. No one, I was alone, and I packed a small hall, which was a bit cool.

The movie is a flashback. After leaving office, Mrs Thatcher has dementia. The shrewd and strong woman in the past, facing the departure of her beloved husband and the end of her political life, still cannot resist the erosion of the years and becomes a walker. stumble. She is a person born for politics, from the moment she entered university to study, it all started from here. Her family, her marriage, her dreams, are all reflected in politics.

The film does a good job of showing the brilliance, glory, achievements, and frustrations of Mrs Thatcher's reign. The addition of Aunt May has added a lot of impression points to the whole film. What touched me the most was Mrs Thatcher sitting at the table writing letters to the families of thousands of soldiers who gave their lives for the country. Because she is a woman, a mother, and a wife, she understands the impact of a family that has lost a husband, a father, or a son. This is something that male politicians do not have. And the movie mentions that, and that's what makes Mrs Thatcher special.

    Aunt May's impeccable acting makes me ruthless. Compared to other Oscar nominations that are suffocating to death, this one is really precious

    The old-fashioned costumes are so awkward, I dragged the special effects makeup artist out and chopped them off

The Iron Lady quotes

  • Margaret Thatcher: It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.

  • Alexander Haig: So you are proposing to go to war over these islands. They're thousands of miles away, a handful of citizens, politically and economically insignificant, if you'll excuse me.

    Margaret Thatcher: Just like Hawaii, I imagine.

    Alexander Haig: I'm sorry?

    Margaret Thatcher: 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Did America go cap in hand and ask Tojo for a peaceful negotiation of terms? Did she turn her back on her own citizens there because the islands were thousands of miles from mainland United States? No! No, no! We will stand on principle, or we shall not stand at all.

    Alexander Haig: But Margaret, with all due respect, when one has been to war...

    Margaret Thatcher: With all due respect, sir, I have done battle every single day of my life and many men have underestimated me before. This lot seem bound to do the same, but they will rue the day.
