FDR in the eyes of a mistress

Hester 2022-10-05 22:04:22

One of the Big Three in World War II was addicted to marijuana, the other two were alcoholics and had many mistresses. Churchill was addicted to marijuana, two outsiders, one was the "horror king" Stalin, and the other was Frankfurt Roosevelt (FDR).

Their common enemy is Hitler, who is extremely loyal to love and does not smoke or drink.

This movie, watching him from the perspective of an FDR lover, restores a three-dimensional and true FDR. One of the most popular presidents in American history, and the highest leader of the free world in World War II, he himself was a man full of ordinary people. He was able to become a great man precisely because he was like everyone else. He is full of humanity. The two main lines of this movie, one is the extramarital affairs between FDR and several mistresses, and the other is the visit of King George VI, so it is actually from the perspective of a lover who is not in the world and a young inferiority king. Understand the aspects of FDR politics that are full of human shortcomings and depravity, strong and tender.

A great leader must first be a person who has shortcomings, admits shortcomings, faces shortcomings, tolerates shortcomings, embraces and loves the nature of others. Otherwise, he must be a devil like Hitler and Stalin, a beast in a cloak who maintains a perfect image in front of others but is full of darkness in his heart.

In this sense, this movie accurately captures the great side of FDR-his accurate capture, understanding and encouragement of human nature. He gave the King of England what he needed most-self-confidence, and gave his lover what she needed most-a different life and higher social status.

The image of FDR has not been compromised, but has been more popular.

When it was released in the United States, most of the audience was elderly, which shows the niche nature of the film.

  • Bertie: [after a tray with a stack of plates collapses with a big crash] I suppose an angel just passed, a very clumsy one.
