Give it month... It will be available for free on the internet. I assumed Dunkirk was going to be good... It was terrible, but you can’t go wrong with Churchill.
The man went from the disaster of Gallipoli directly to trenches of Europe in WW1 to atone... Then he became the 20th century’s greatest political hero recognizing German National Socialism for the evil it was well before others did, and he proceeded to rally the British the free world to destroy it after the darkest hour came.
The greatest leader of the 20th century. PERIOD! (Reagan and Pope John Paul II come in tied for second place in my books when they jointly defeated communism.)
Looking forward to seeing ‘ Darkest Hour ‘ but I really enjoyed Dunkirk.
Excellent film!
Highly recommended for everyone to see even though it has left the theaters and is not as impressive on the small screen. Christopher Nolan is one of the finest directors working today. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of his movies except for Interstellar which was a bit too SJW and preposterous as far as the science goes.
“The man went from the disaster of Gallipoli directly to trenches of Europe in WW1 to atone...”
That was one of the things that truly impressed me.
Being sacked after Gallipoli he could have fallen back on his family name and wealth and been little the worse for it.
Instead he enlisted in the army and went to the front.
Between that and fighting in the Boer war Winston Churchill was definitely a man of action.
Did you forget Maggie Thatcher in your piece, or did you not consider her contributions of note?
