A Churchill different from imagination

An old man, a fat man with a cane and a cigar, always feels like an old man who can have a heart attack and belch by accident. This is my superficial understanding of the characters after watching the film. The film describes the story of the Allied forces making plans before the Normandy landing in 1944. Throughout the film, Churchill was haunted by the shadow of World War I in 1931 and disagrees with the Normandy Plan. The film completely overturned my childhood memories. Perhaps when the great man had fear and timidity, this was not taken by the British, or the great man could not be described as an image of a woman who loves to drink, loses his temper and has a lower IQ than a woman. What impressed me in the play were the two speeches. One was the officer mobilizing the soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield. He said that you should help those around you, and don't be afraid, because the people around you will also protect you. He asked the soldiers what is the most important thing, life, and he asked the soldiers to save their lives in exchange for the ultimate victory. The second is Churchill’s speech after the war, which first informed the situation of the war, and then used the most common words to cheer up the people of the whole country. The timid people will never win victory. We are not fighting for victory. We are fighting for freedom. I will never yield. There are no war scenes throughout the film, and the descriptions are centered on the characters, but the shooting technique is really good, interlocking, making people feel that there is no wasteful scene. When I watched it, I silently compared it with domestic biographical films. It was really not at the same level. Maybe it’s because I’m used to watching domestic red movies, so I’m not used to such movies. There is no hero image on the battlefield, no heroic spirit of commanding thousands of troops, no wayward behavior that holds the power of life and death, just a kind neighbor , Kind old grandpa, an old man who frustrates everywhere, hits walls everywhere, no one supports him, no one pays attention to him. It is this difference that makes me feel a little fresh and insightful, but he is indeed the pride of that era.
