Decisively hit full marks! It's really an enjoyment of history, culture, and audio-visual art. Combining with the previously screened "Dunkirk" and "The King's Speech", you will have a rich understanding and spiritual touch on the same historical moment of World War II from different angles. The director is only 38 years old, but he has continuously filmed historical business cards such as "Pride and Prejudice" in 2005, "Atonement" in 2007, and "Anna Karenina" in 12 years. It is not only his outstanding personal talent, but also his environment. It is due to the respect and stability of historical and cultural values ​​and the laws of artistic creation; under the control of a one-sided, changeable, narrow, nihilistic view of history and art, such valuable works of art cannot be produced.

    Great history, great characters, great acting.

    Full, powerful, orderly, yet lively, with a limited number of scenes, repeated speeches, quarrels, debates, no fancy skills, just the right soundtrack, and a solid feature film. Gary Oldman gave a "palace" performance that propped up the entire movie. @Werner Herzog Theatre

Darkest Hour quotes

  • King George VI: One never knows what's going to come out of your mouth next. Something that'll flatter, something that'll wound.

    Winston Churchill: My e-emotions are unbridled. A wildness. In the blood. I share with my father. And my mother also. We lack the gift of temperance.

  • Winston Churchill: My father was like God. Busy elsewhere.
