Politicians are responsible for the future of the country and the people, and politicians only value the immediate benefits. This movie and Gary Oldman's performance illustrate this point well. The plot design is full, and it does not only show Churchill's side of turning the tide. Gary Oldman also expresses the characters' irritability, arrogance, shaking, and hesitation through the body language such as face trembling and speech rate changes. Churchill talked to the public in the subway to renew his faith in the decisive battle and expressed his determination in the lower house of parliament. It was the climax of the film. Gary Oldman also expressed the psychological changes of Churchill very vividly through the performance, interpreting the politician because he respected the people Interests, and thus gain strength and faith in the people.

Movie review
Only by writing heroes as ordinary people can ordinary people know why the heroes are fighting.


He must be so

Writing historical figures, combining rigidity with softness, is the most flattering angle.

It is a consensus that a hero of the world must be human.

Darkest Hour portrays a more humane Churchill.

Maybe it's fiction, maybe it's too cliché, but we are willing to believe it.

But just writing about its strengths is nothing new. Writing weakly and strong is the key to shaping the characters in Darkest Hour .

In Parliament, he issued the bloody brave words that echoed throughout the world: "We will never surrender!"

Who can really believe that the Lions wake up because Churchill took the subway once?

But the film makes us willing to believe that this is the reason why people in peace are willing to pick up guns:

The death knell sounds for me, and I fight for you.
