In the companion book the author makes fairly clear that in his research he could see how totally opposite Churchill and Halifax were in their approach to policy. That being said. Halifax was convinced that there was, and had to be, a true possibility for peace, while Churchill was temperamentally convinced that Hitler would not allow it. VDH, in his new book, gives us the quote that Hitler would be happy with ten years of war to get the conquests he felt his people deserved.
Halifax did not want Britain to surrender its independence in any peace negotiation and Churchill was convinced that once started, peach negotiations with a rampaging and successful Hitler would have no other outcome.
Then the director failed.
Fun, though!
The film had its flaws, but even so was head and shoulders above most other films of the past five or even ten years. Because of the subject matter: arguably the greatest man of the past century.
And he was eager to please his muslim overlords.
The idea of PM Churchill riding the subway is absurd.
We loved the film, though. Gary Oldman was invisible and all I saw was Churchill in his performance. My wife did not know much about the Great Man going in, and she found it fascinating.
Just watched it. A+++
It also showed what a stupid dick FDR was.
Neville Chamberlain was just like Obama..
