Hagiographical Propaganda.

Rating: 5/10 (30 March 2020)

Winston Churchill condemned tens of millions of human beings to death over the course of his career, and viewed the world in racial terms, just as his great rival Hitler did.
In 2020, this sort of film is outdated, and deserves the label "propapganda". Perhaps most egregiously, it presents Churchill as a man of the people, wilfuly interacting with the working class and even escaping his protection detail in order to interact with people on public transport.
The film deserves the low rating because its portrayal of Churchill is a hagiography, and historically false in parts, something that the film could have completely avoided since the detailed Parliamentary and War Cabinet minutes exist and the story of how Churchill withstood Hitler and his leadership within Britain and the political machinations behind his Prime Ministership, all suffice to make clear his achievements for his country, without needing to resort to a false portrayal of the man.
