Great film but full of lies

Rating: 6/10 (1 March 2018)

The Director has chosen Churchill as the figure who represents the "darkest hour" of every person's life, the period of doubt when you know your decision is crucial and probably you might have to swim against the tide.
The cast, the cinematography, the claustrophobic atmosphere, everything was perfect. The problem is that W.Churchill is presented once again as a hero and as a man of the people which is completely wrong. He was a racist, an imperialist, the worst progeny of "high british aristocracy". He was a politician raised in, and formed by, the British Empire. Churchill succeeded in proving himself a man by those imperial standards, fighting in India and Sudan, helping the Spanish suppress Cuba's freedom fighters, and, after a brief South African parliamentary career, fighting in the Second Boer War. Churchill's promotion to home secretary came at a time of still-rising political turmoil in the United Kingdom: Irish struggles for Home Rule, Suffragism, strike waves. Churchill opposed them all violently.
He was a ferocious advocate of intervention to quell the Russian Revolution, and wrote furiously about the dangers of the "International Jews" (communists) and their "sinister confederacy," against whom he invoked the far more acceptable "National Jew" (Zionism)."
The racist said: "I do not admit that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America, or the black people of Australia . . . by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race . . . has come in and taken its place."
The war criminal who used for the 1st time in history chemical weapons (against the Bolsheviks and then against Iraq) said :"I am strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes"
Finally, in 1933 he praised Mussolini as 'the greatest lawgiver among men". In 1935, Churchill expressed his "admiration" for Hitler and "the courage, the perseverance, and the vital force which enabled him to . . . overcome all the . . . resistances which barred his path."
I am writing all this because movies tend to educate people today. So, do your own research when it comes to history and enjoy the movie as it is, quite fictional.
