Decisively hit full marks! It's really an enjoyment of history, culture, and audio-visual art. Combining with the previously screened "Dunkirk" and "The King's Speech", you will have a rich understanding and spiritual touch on the same historical moment of World War II from different angles. The director is only 38 years old, but he has continuously filmed historical business cards such as "Pride and Prejudice" in 2005, "Atonement" in 2007, and "Anna Karenina" in 12 years. It is not only his outstanding personal talent, but also his environment. It is due to the respect and stability of historical and cultural values ​​and the laws of artistic creation; under the control of a one-sided, changeable, narrow, nihilistic view of history and art, such valuable works of art cannot be produced.

    The photography is beautiful, the lighting and sets are just right, and the soundtrack is a bit too much, but not bad. Acting, Daddy Dog did a very good job, especially after watching his Churchill dancing video, it was so cute. But the plot is quite able to make up, there is really not enough subway to make up. Lateral and Dunkirk are better than I still think Dunkirk.
