——Well, in fact, when I wrote this film review, I didn’t do my homework about this great lady, and I didn’t verify the position of the film or the gap between it and the truth, but I wrote some very personal feelings based on my simple understanding.
Mrs Thatcher is indeed a savage demeanor. She has gone all the way to the position of Prime Minister, which is not unrelated to her always tough style. If she had ever acted a little like a mild woman—as the environment meant her to be compromising, secure, and honest as a housewife, she wouldn't have gone so far in British politics of that era. It is because of his very push character that he can open up a world where women are in power.
She won the Falklands War, and the people's emotions rose and their support rose, as if for a moment she was really the representative of every citizen, she spoke for them, represented their interests, and she was their trusted prime minister.
When the economy is in a mess, there are strikes, marches, demonstrations, and then everyone puts the blame on her, it's all the government's fault, it's all her fault. ——So after using it, I discarded it without thinking. As Thatcher said in the movie: We only feel, not think. We only remember our feelings, purely intuitive, without processing and thinking, and we act and react accordingly.
The public will never think about whether I have any responsibility here, and whether there is anything I haven't done well. Politicians will never think about whether this is my problem or whether it is a problem with our policies. Everyone can pass the buck, then a female prime minister is a woman who never shows weakness, and the responsibility is pushed to her - because she does not compromise, she does not back down, she is not a woman or a mother in the general sense. ; She is too strong and special, and the group will not accommodate her. - This is a victim of resistance to universal values. She has ambition and the willpower to achieve it, but ambition is often aggressive and aggressive, which leads to a lot of adversaries. ——So in the end, she was successfully pushed to the stage and pulled down by the same group of people.
PS: From a bystander's point of view, if the British people really have more people with such a push character, maybe the current British economy will not be in a weak depression and recession for such a long time.
PS: The film itself is very fragmented. Well, I don’t know how to describe this feeling. It’s a piecemeal feeling with unclear lines~ The director’s skills need to be improved, and the excavation of characters and backgrounds can be further deepened—— This film seems to deliberately make Thatcher an ordinary person, not a female prime minister. The director seems to want to say, this is not a celebrity biopic, this is a memoir of a tough woman, or even a diary of her later years.
But like everyone commented, for Aunt May's superb performance, this movie is still well worth watching.
