We watched it, knowing her real story, having heard her speak live once, my wife was so furious she almost went all Taliban on our TV.
The movie dissed her for not taking care of her children. The movie never showed her truly great accomplishments, simply left them hanging as if she never did anything great other than be elected. It never addressed how the economy rebounded as a result of her pro free enterprise policies, never addressed her part in taking down the wall of communism and her steel will in understanding how to be a part of bringing down the evil empire, never addressed the cultural revival that happened for a way too short a time under her hand.
But it did show how she was a poor mother, and wife. If you think that was fair and balanced, contact me about this New York bridge I have for sale......
Sorry, it was worse than a hatchet job.
Back in 1984, if you had asked Gorbachev and Walesa if they had any chance of outliving Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, they would have scoffed at the idea.
Her impact on England and indeed the entire world was profound. She will be deeply missed, but she has earned her rest.
