How do you evaluate Churchill's characterization in "Darkest Hour"?

Real, kind, I feel like this is how he should be. He never leaves his hand with cigarettes, he doesn't drink alcohol, and he doesn't stumble when he walks, but the people around him still like him, especially his humor, talkativeness, and insight into human nature.

Several speeches are highlighted in the film, which is also the unique temperament of a politician

It's just that his wife's melancholy expression occasionally makes people feel that it is difficult for a successful person to be successful!

The whole film has been looking at him from the eyes of the female secretary, which is also the eyes of the public. At first, he was a bit irritable and not easy to approach. Later, he was able to talk and laugh together, and he had mutual trust and support, and cooperated tacitly! Also appreciate his charisma!

Darkest Hour quotes

  • Winston Churchill: D'you know, I've never ridden a bus? I've never queued for bread. I believe I can boil an egg... but only because I've seen it done. The only time I tried riding the Underground was during the General Strike. Clemmie dropped me off at South Kensington station. I went down but got lost. I came straight back up! It was awful.

  • [having accepted the post of Prime Minister, Churchill must now have regular meetings with the King]

    Sir Anthony Eden: You only have to meet him once a week.

    Winston Churchill: But that's like saying you only have to have your tooth pulled once a week.
