Churchill's first month as prime minister in 1940. This is the darkest moment in the movie. Besides the question of the evacuation of 300,000 people at Dunkirk hanging over his head, Winston was troubled by the constraints of Chamberlain and Halifax in the House of Lords, forcing him to make peace with Hitler.

God's teeth! Do not buggering it up!

Therefore, this film fictionalized the process of the Prime Minister getting out of the special car and going to the subway to listen to the opinions of the people. About 20 people made it clear that they would never surrender. The Prime Minister was greatly encouraged, and the film ended in such a wave of courage.

To put it bluntly, it is to shape Churchill's film, to be lively.

As his wife Clemmy commented: you are strong because you are imperfect, you are wise because you have doubts.

The vast majority of the film's locations are in wartime government buildings. Dark and isolated.

This is the old house that the crew found in Yorkshire, and the inner courtyard of Buckingham Palace was also filmed there.

The atmosphere of the parliamentary debate was also well grasped, and historian Reed made great efforts. This person has been invited to our Nanjing University.

In addition to Churchill's dress, his Cuban cigars, the interior of the building, in addition to the historical details, the most important thing is that he has captured the core temperament -

Regardless of success or failure, one must face it bravely. That's what the title Darkest Hour really means. Hear, Hear

Thanks to Oldman for giving us the opportunity to meet our idols face to face.

For some reason, witnessing such difficult times always reminds me of Chinese history.

For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the purple-bearded son Sun Quan approached Lu Su and said that Zhang Zhao and the others had already been bought off, so they didn't care whether to surrender or fight, only Lu Su was willing to go to the three-point plan.

The same is true of China's resistance to Japan. There is also the Anshi Rebellion, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom faced by Zeng Guofan.

Courage, indeed, is a rare quality.

That's why we've grown up admiring Churchill implicitly. In college, I recited Churchill's English speech over and over again.

It seems that courage can be possessed.

    The details are full, the performance is unique, the light and shadow are elegant, and the mirror movement is quite three-dimensional thinking. Just because I have read a lot of Churchill's documents and historical materials, I am familiar with Churchill, and Gary Oldman's interpretation of Churchill cannot convince me to regard this film as a "biographical" film. In addition, the play is mediocre, mainly because Churchill's speech itself is provocative, and it can climax only by reading the text in combination with the background of the times.

    A new subgenre is proposed: contemporary British speech World War II films. The Russians rely on Stalin's hammer to win the war, the Chinese rely on time and human life, the Americans rely on oil, what about the British? Of course it's by mouth.

Darkest Hour quotes

  • Winston Churchill: [in his first speech as Prime Minister] But now one bond unites us all. To wage war until victory is won, and never to surrender ourselves to servitude and shame. Whatever the cost and the agony may be, conquer we must, as conquer we shall.

  • Winston Churchill: Do I have your, uh, permission, uh, to send, uh, an aircraft carrier to pick up the P-40 fighter planes we purchased from you? Mr. President?

    President Roosevelt: Well, you-you've got me there again. New law preventing transshipment of military equipment.

    Winston Churchill: Uh, but we paid for them. We-we paid for them with the money that we... that we borrowed from you.
