my impression, from the moment the film was born, except for Aunt Mei's performance, the film received bad reviews as a whole, but it didn't feel too bad after watching it. The title of the film "Iron Lady" is a bit misnomer, because the film basically doesn't show the iron lady's iron-fisted policy, and even the Chinese and British initials that were sensational at the time were ignored. Mrs Thatcher's old and lonely, confused, seems to be more appropriate to call "Mrs Thatcher's Later Life". The film's portrayal of the iron lady politician's iron-blooded side is missing, but Margaret's gentle side is remarkable, especially her emotional life with her husband Dennis is a highlight: the many conversations with her husband, The hallucinatory scenes of arguing and even dancing together are a must. However, as an emotional writer, I am more concerned about why a woman is so keen on politics when her love is very sweet and her family is not lacking? (Usually, strong women are forced out by unfortunate marriages.) It is said that this has something to do with her father's cultivation of her since childhood. Unfortunately, the writing on this aspect of the film is even more pitiful.
Of course, let's not forget that the biggest attraction of this film is Meryl Streep. As a May party, I have to admit that this is the best and most perfect performance since May's "Sophie's Choice". It's no wonder that after nearly 30 years after Sophie was awarded the title, she has always been nominated but not won the prize. This second title is not entirely consoling. This time, Aunt Mei not only wants to fully reproduce the peerless style of a female prime minister, but also spends more space to experience the dementia state of an old man who staggers and speaks incoherently after retirement. This is very difficult. As for Tie Niangzi's pure British accent, it is completely a piece of cake for Gu Mei, who is good at portraying different characters in language. Although there are some places where she seems to be a little hard-working, it is undeniable that Gu Mei's performance this time is a great master. Excellent acting, although the script, direction and editing are all very weak. In other words, if this subject is handed over to directors like Milos Foreman and Ron Howard who are good at making biopics, isn't Mei Gu's performance even more unprecedented?
