Persevering, it is not that we are really strong enough, but that we have no choice.
——Winston Churchill

"Churchill" is a biographical film, filmed around Churchill, focusing on the other side of the great man. The interception period was a few days before Normandy landed on D-Day in June 1944. Churchill in the movie is alcoholic, smoking, irritable, irritable, and unreasonable. A tragic experience in World War I left eternal pain in Churchill's heart. In the famous Battle of Gallipoli in 1915, Churchill led the disastrous landing on the Bosphorus, the British and French coalition forces and their allies, Australia and New Zealand. The Legion suffered heavy casualties, and Churchill was removed from the post of Secretary of the Navy. The Normandy landing plan in World War II seemed to be a repeat of history in Churchill's eyes. How could he not be scared? For a while, Churchill was anxious, worried, and fell into the "self-torture" of inner struggle because of fear that the landing operation would fail. For a while, he worried that the young soldiers would sacrifice too much and shed tears. From firmness and courage to "the benevolence of women", for a while, he hoped to prevent the landing. Action, and the "stupid act" of praying to God for bad weather, after a while mother-in-law tried to intervene in commander Eisenhower, which became "unreasonable". The film restores the ordinary side of this great historical man, with long shadows behind the sun, and everything is the most realistic presentation, without beautification, without concealment, and logical.
