Gary Oldman portrayed Churchill as a weak vacillating cuck who couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag. For an actor I usually admire that was an inexcusable low blow to a truly great man of history.
Turns out the quote he used was made up!
Indeed, that didn't quite seem to be the real Churchill. I haven't seen the latest Napoleon movie, but I read that he is portrayed similarly, as weak-willed and hen-pecked.
