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: [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.
