“The scene with Churchill riding the subway is silly”
He did it. They used the names of the actual people that he talked to. It was a technique that he innovated to sway the other politicians.
He did it.
Preposterous!
Watching the movie, my reaction was, this is simply taking way too long for the distance traveled.
That's not to say he didn't connect with ordinary citizens.
After all, Churchill was half-American!
I hope that you don’t really believe that that scene was real.
From some newspaper:
And McCarten admitted that no, it probably did not happen. But something like it might well have. This the kind of thing he did right through the war, said McCarten of Churchill. He would go AWOL, disappear and pop up somewhere in London with ordinary people, to find out what they were thinking. So that scene was drawn from deep research, but we have no record that it happened.
i thought the scene was a dramatization if true events. Why not?
Its not as if Churchill wasnt successful. And for a good reason he would have read Shakespeare. This was Prince Hal
Thats Henry IV for the rio lindo folks
