Which moments define Churchill in the darkest hour? The highlight speech at the end? Echoes and blends with the public in the subway? It seems to be all, it seems that it is not. I feel like Churchill's defining moments in this film are those moments when it's so quiet that only his breath is left. For the first time as wartime prime minister, Churchill was still mulling over a few speech words before broadcasting to the nation Seconds, two seconds, three seconds are like an actor who is not ready to be pushed to the front of the highly anticipated stage. The condensed air is full of his anxiety. A prime minister who lacks the support of the royal family and the party is facing another dilemma that has not been encountered in a century. However, he still He opened his mouth and was not swallowed by anxiety. He told the country that he was still full of hope. He was challenged at a cabinet meeting for the second time. He walked into the Prime Minister's toilet and picked up the phone. He called the allies and asked for support. Ah, or else you use horses to carry the planes away. The humiliation is almost scolding for one second, two seconds, three seconds. He is the Prime Minister of the Empire where the sun never sets. But the glory of the old days is gone, and there are not many chips to exchange, so he restrained. I can't thank you enough for any help that the allies have said goodbye to the third time he's sitting in the room the situation has reached the end of the world and almost all of Europe has fallen to the US still on the sidelines His high hopes dynamo plan has not yet started Former Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary Step by step, I had to consider the possibility of peace talks with the Nazis. At this time, the king came to his mansion and asked him how you felt. He was old and trembling and said I was so scared. The country collapsed soon, he didn't want Great Britain, so he couldn't easily yield to the king no matter how much he was bullied by fear. The king said he saw in Churchill the courage he knew he couldn't do. What I saw was repeatedly hovering on the brink of collapse and struggling to put himself It was the House of Commons speech that defined Churchill as a statesman, but it was those moments of quietness that could only breathe that defined Churchill as a human being.

Darkest Hour quotes

  • Winston Churchill: Do I have your, uh, permission, uh, to send, uh, an aircraft carrier to pick up the P-40 fighter planes we purchased from you? Mr. President?

    President Roosevelt: Well, you-you've got me there again. New law preventing transshipment of military equipment.

    Winston Churchill: Uh, but we paid for them. We-we paid for them with the money that we... that we borrowed from you.
