The English do this so well, the subtlety and unspoken meaning...

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2019)

This was a surprise and a most enjoyable film. Watching the people walking along and the way the camera followed them was inspiring. The English do subtle and inferred meanings so well. The atmosphere is brilliant. People are the power and the drive and this was made clear. You can see what Churchill is thinking and Oldman did the character credit. The rest of the cast were excellent as well.
Even though you know the history you are drawn in and feel the time and all its terror and foreboding.
The time in history is captured with the cinematography and much is told visually. Politics is ugly and that was obvious in the scenes in parliament. It made me think of Brexit which is even harder than this decision whether to go to all out war or try to negotiate a peace. I think Britain needs another Churchill right now.
We know his famous speech or one of them in this case but are still riveted to the power of the words. A slice of a moment in history not unknown but revisited with all the emotion and soul searching that happened in 1940.
Beautifully scripted, acted and shown on the big screen with a wonderful cast. We were moved!
