Politics is complicated, and it is not easy for people who "mixed" in politics. But there are some people who cannot leave politics. There is no affirmative or negative meaning here, but refers to a character trait, Churchill has such a trait, or is born a political figure.
At an advanced age, Churchill, who has retired, is still unable to leave politics and always pays attention to the development of the world. The most important thing is German fascism led by Hitler. After the catastrophe of the First World War, people yearned for peace and rejected war so much. This in turn led to the loss of immunity to war. Britain and even the entire European continent are in such a situation, believing that Germany is also taking a peaceful route, and even has close trade relations with Germany.
However, everyone's judgment on the situation in Germany is completely wrong. Only a few people remain awake, including Churchill who is very old. The political madman Churchill is so confident and so persistent that he is trying to strengthen Britain's immunity.
How do you view Churchill's political opponents? Did they just miscalculate Hitler's ambitions, or were they betraying the country's interests and satisfying financial selfishness? It's really hard to tell.
However, the struggle in the political arena shown in the film is also very cruel. Although there are no bullets, there are threats and exclusion. Churchill was isolated because he insisted on his observations, and Leif eventually went from depression to no return because he could not bear the pressure of political struggle. It fully embodies the horror in the political field in peacetime, because you may hinder the way for others to make money, or other interests.
The development of the matter is that Hitler has moved towards the anti-human side, and racial purity is a terrible reason.
The film also pays special attention to portraying the relationship between Churchill and his wife. They trust and support each other in that way. Although there are contradictions, they can always be alleviated under the game of cats and dogs. This is a description of Churchill's personal life. A strong person like Churchill will adopt the "Pug" doctrine in the family, which embodies the lovely side.
Before World War II, Germany continued to grow stronger, and the world did not make correct judgments about it. So in today's peaceful days, is there a rising threat? We don't know.
