Churchill-style adult: It has withered long ago, but it keeps going hard

Film critics have their motherland, so the film reviews of foreign language films are always separated by a layer: such as "The Darkest Hour". In the eyes of domestic film critics, this is a newly added film that competes for the right to speak for victory in World War II; "The King’s Speech" portrays the stuttering King George VI like a king of mouths. The British Empire was turbulent and united. "The Darkest Hour" gave Churchill the highest honor of the mouth-cannon. The syphilis patient and the defeated on the battlefield will level the Parliament, the king and the people through three speeches, and turn the sand-like Britain into concrete. In the context of Brexit in 2017, the British filmed the movie "Darkest Hour" at this time, which evokes the bravery of the British people in 1940 to bear the burden of the entire Europe-France has fallen, and the Czech Republic , Poland surrendered in the first wave, Belgium is about to announce its surrender at midnight, and only the British Isles are still fighting. Judging from the birth date, "The Darkest Hour" is actually to invigorate the British people's vitality and blood. As a foreign audience, I was moved to tears for Churchill's speech. It was purely a patriotic tonic by mistake.


It is not an exaggeration to say that the British are the eldest sons of this species of nobility. They love honor, especially the honor of the battlefield. The First World War greatly damaged the vitality of the nobles in Europe, and even a large part of the noble families were wiped out on the battlefield. In World War II, Churchill’s two political enemies-former Prime Minister Chamberlain and Foreign Minister Harry Fax were all ready to negotiate a peace early, because the nobles no longer wanted their children to dedicate themselves to the battlefield. When Europe’s heaviest burden was on his shoulders in 1940, Churchill faced a large number of allies who had surrendered, the French prime minister who only wanted to surrender, and 300,000 British men trapped in Dunkirk. Army elite. All the warships in his hand were sent to transport troops back to the country, so he had to call Roosevelt to send the fighter jets purchased by the British to the aircraft carrier; but Roosevelt was only willing to send the fighter jets to the British Canadian border, and suggested that the British use the horse team to pull the aircraft back home. Or use manpower to push it back, after all, airplanes have wheels. The humiliation of the British Empire was so naked when Churchill was prime minister.



What we enjoy in "The Darkest Hour" is not the language of the lens, the pictures and the subtle lines, but the adult spirit represented by Churchill: it has long been withered, but it has been hardened. He does not deny that he is a drunkard, a genetic product of a neurotic mother, and a microcosm of the British Empire-his mind is very strong, his body is sixty-six years old, and only a hard breath is left, and his life continues like a soup. So when he walked out of the bathroom naked, the typist girl was not avoiding embarrassment, but a kind of compassion. What "Darkest Hour" shows is a kind of power that is facing collapse at any time. Churchill firmly believed that even as a country of rubble, Britain was better than a country of puppets of the Nazis. Such a wartime leader was neither greasy nor loving, but dirty, iron-blooded, and merciless. He asked the four thousand British troops stationed in Calais to launch a suicide attack without conscience. Self-blame, showing the cold-blooded strategists must.


Movies are never just amusement and excitement. In fact, the great function of movies is to build the movie fans’ personality: we put ourselves into roles, as if we were immersed in a meditation basin and watched the memory of Principal Dumbledore. Seeing Churchill in How to surrender political opponents, consolidate parliament, and gather remnants in 1940. We often make enemies on all sides like Churchill, with Churchill's plight and his wilting, without his hard-heartedness. Tell your enemies and their enemies like Churchill: I am still in love. My wife escaped from marriage twice at the age of 21. I still firmly believe that the British are the exception/the Chinese people are the exception; I am lonely, but I insist on loneliness to a certain extent. To a certain extent, there will be George VI knocking on the door in the middle of the night, saying that you have won all the trust of the king.
