manipulated storyline to help childlike english to forget their history

Rating: 1/10 (13 December 2017)

In Darkest Hour, Gary Oldman shines as Winston Churchill. But history takes a hit.
Darkest Hour, like many historical films, invents some of its story - but in this case, it's a problem
That Underground scene, as it turns out, is both heartwarming and totally fabricated. Watching it, it's hard not to feel your heart swell with courage. Yes! We must stand against the fascists, and it's the ordinary people who must hold their leaders accountable. There's no more 2017-appropriate inspirational theme than that.
And yet that encounter on the carriage never happened. Does that mean Darkest Hour is spreading misinformation? Not exactly. Churchill did go on to stand his ground, and we know how that decision played out. That the Underground scene (and some others like it, which historians will surely spot) was imagined in order to make the story work on screen doesn't change what happened in history.
But it still made me feel a little queasy. Throughout the film, Churchill and a few others struggle with whether it's okay to fudge the truth in order to bolster
Churchill might have become a man we remember a little differently. If you look past his witticisms and the war effort, you're left with a man with deeply troubling views-who might not be the hero we imagine.
That's the same question Their Finest approaches - and both films ultimately skirt the issue. But Darkest Hour goes one step further and embraces what it explores, becoming a movie that fiddles with the truth.
