I agree. Meryl Streep is perhaps the only actress who could pull off the role of Lady Thatcher, IF of course she had a script and a director worthy of the subject.
Which is exactly the point you make.
All the posts now pointing out the rubbish that is apparently the script have nothing to do with Streep’s acting ability (’she’s famous for doing accents’-—yes, like Olivier is famous for saying ‘To be or not to be,’ I guess).
It does unfortunately say a great deal about Streep’s lousy personal judgment and her idiotic politics as well.
Too bad. The Lady deserves more.
Yes. From what I've read so far on the movie, it is shaping up to be quite the little "hit piece." My favorite quote: “Although fictional, it will be fair and accurate.” Uh huh.
Last October, Baroness Thatcher declined an appearance held at 10 Downing Street celebrating her 85th birthday . The statement issued included the line, "This lady's not for returning." It reminded me of RR's banter when he was admitted to the hospital.
May God continue to bestow His blessings upon you, Lady Thatcher.
