The whole world is in darkness, only he wants to light the lighthouse

Make up a movie review I saw "The Darkest Hour" before I realized that Gary Oldman really deserved the Oscar for the leading actor. After the disguise, he imitated his body, voice and actions vividly, and he influenced the viewing of the movie. The psychology of the audience, the process of his decision to resist or negotiate is also a process that makes the audience feel anxious. In the end, he made a passionate speech after listening to the public opinion. I was moved to tears, We fight on the beach, we fight in the fields and streets . His decision to gain support changed the fate of 300,000 British troops, but also changed the entire European war situation. The film selects the time period from Gibran's resignation and Churchill's push as prime minister to when he decides to implement the Dunkirk retreat plan. Showing off Churchill's warm side to his family and the people, he is relaxed and has a good atmosphere to set off the effect. The female stenographer is a refraction of Churchill's warm side and a foil for her perseverance, making the image more three-dimensional. From small to big, step by step, it is exciting and touching. When we watch historical dramas, it is difficult to avoid looking at the past from the perspective of the present and using the results to prove the correctness of the action. When faced with the danger of an overwhelming army and the entire army being wiped out, whether to negotiate at the right time to obtain the most favorable conditions, or to fight to the end, the ancestors were also confused, quarreled, and doubted. Looking at the Westernization Movement and the 1980s Reformation, we jumped out of the history books, but at that time, the enemy and us were very disparate, and we really did not have the confidence to believe that our motherland would win. In the face of a terrifying enemy, the bright sword may seem stupid, but this spirit is the most precious. Courage and kindness are the noblest qualities. Fortunately, after exploring, we found that peace never comes from negotiation, but through blood and fire, through struggle. Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.--Winston Churchill

Even the setting sun is better than never rising
Every inspiring speech will pay hard

Darkest Hour quotes

  • Winston Churchill: Turning once again to the question of invasion I would observe that there has never been a period in all these long centuries of which we boast, when an absolute guarantee against invasion could have been given to our people. I have, myself full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old!

  • Clement Atlee: [on Neville Chamberlain] Owing to his years of inactivity and incompetence, we find him personally responsible... personally responsible for leaving this nation ruinously unprepared to face the present Nazi peril! We are at war, Mr. Speaker, at war. And leaving aside whether he is fit to be a leader in peacetime, he has proved himself incapable of leading us in wartime!
