      darkest hour

      How strong are the characters in the biographical film, how history is interpreted on the screen, and the pages of the book are spread out into fresh life. Gary wears Churchill's skin on his body, showing us once again a politician with fresh blood and victory in the war of words.

      This film prints the black-and-white Churchill of the history book from my mind into color, with an unexpected sense of humor, and a determined, stubborn old man with crutches on his stomach and black-rimmed...

      live to death

      When the British citizens shouted "Never", I believe that the Prime Minister has made his own decision; when the foreign cabinet said that the British government will never be allowed to become Hitler's puppet, I believe that the future in Churchill's eyes is clearer. Negotiations cannot bring peace. Negotiations are transactions in the eyes of a few people, and the results of transactions are unpredictable.

      At this time, I realized more deeply that...

      love your country hard

      Churchill is not a god, but he successfully led God into his body, and the body of the people of his country, all the stubbornness is for the love of his country!

      There may be several beliefs in a person's life, but the biggest one may be one's own country. If you do not surrender and give up, you are a person with a country and dignity. Without beliefs, something may be an ethereal existence!

      Personal charisma can greatly affect the people of a country. Anyone can be a leader...

      Insights into Darkest Hour DP Bruno Del Bonnell's photography and story driving

      At the beginning, the stronger side was in the light area, and the family and family used warm tones with softer facial shadows, and used hard light that was almost exposed outside.

      A variety of subjective shots, horizontal shift shots, and the characters inside are arranged in front and back, so it will not make the picture look very flat,

      Broadcasting that clip to the whole country, the red light in the foreground looked inconspicuous at first, but as soon as the focus was...

      Before watching the movie, I learned a little about the cast (the kind that didn't match the characters) and the historical background, and then I searched for an hour of where is Gary Oldman? Finally, I thought I should have missed it before. I don't care if Gary Oldman is still out The person who appeared in Churchill's acting is really going to explode. When I came back and looked at the cast watch (the kind for the role), I realized that I really lost my mind and knelt down for Gary...

      4.5 Excellent student film, the photography is very interesting, several shots that seem to be God's perspective are the protagonist's perspective, when European civilization fell into darkness, Churchill was like Prometheus who stole fire (you can also see the narcissism of the British people), the last moment The abrupt end of the perfect...

      Excerpts from netizens' comments: 1. I saw the characters without the actors; 2. I thought the plastic surgery-like shape was the most shocking, but he was shocked again with his acting skills; 3. He even had saliva acting skills. Now special effects makeup can really be fake. One front and one rear, the subject matter contrasts with Dunkirk. The dramatic tension, dim classical lighting, and powerful facial close-ups show the heavy pressure Churchill bears as an ordinary person, plain and...

      The prequel to Dunkirk, the postquel to the King's speech. The king and I: get married and then fall in love (although the king just doesn't want to move to Canada × the dog father acted very well, because I watched a lot of films in this period, and the actors were too concentrated, so various crossovers. But in addition to the Prime Minister's line , the various interactions of other characters are a bit sudden from time to time, and you may need to watch their respective starring movies to...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Through his efforts, McCarten obtained the minutes of the cabinet meeting of Churchill during the war.
    During the filming of the film, John Hurt, who was originally scheduled to play Prime Minister Chamberlain,...

    Evaluation action

    "Darkest Hour" conveys that for independence and freedom, the values ​​of never compromise with power and never negotiate peace with dictators are moving. In the historical environment at that time, no one could predict the outcome of the war. Even Winston Churchill does not have the right to take the lives of the people to make huge bets on military decisions. Therefore, Winston Churchill’s speech was resolute, brave, and exciting on...

    Movie quotes

    • Viscount Halifax: I will not stand by and watch another generation of young men die at the bloody altar of your hubris!

      Winston Churchill: No, you would have us die as lambs!

      Viscount Halifax: Was Gallipoli not enough for you?

      Winston Churchill: HOW DARE YOU! Our troops were chewing barbed wire in Flanders and I saw it! Opening a second front, outflanking the Turks was a serious military idea and it could have damn well worked if the Admirals and the First Sea Lord hadn't dithered away the element of surprise!

    • King George VI: [to Churchill] I confess I had some reservations about you at first. But while some in this country dreaded your appointment, none dreaded it like Adolf Hitler. Whoever can strike fear into that brute's heart is worthy of all our trust.

    • 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.
