It hit me late last summer that in a lot of ways, Trump is our Churchill.

Excellent movie. Theater was packed with a variety of ages. A lot of people in their 20’s and 30’s. I will go see it again.

Wish it was in a theater near me.

The scene where Churchill is pleading with FDR over the phone for help is great.

Any of Matthew Vaughn’s movies will prove that out. It wasn’t until they allowed Americans in to do Golden Circle that you saw how bad we really are.

Underwear model guy especially, and the red head. They were horrible.

Very good film. I had not read the previews or spoilers, so I went in thinking it would have set during the German Blitz of the islands. Still, it was interesting look at the 1940 crisis in Parliament and how close the upper crust of the UK came to capitulating to Hitler. Anyone interested in WW2 History should definitely check this one out.

The cinematography and acting may have been extraordinary, but the content of the moving was as if CNN produced it. Churchill was portrayed as weak and waffling. They took aspects of his life out of context (taking naps, consuming alcohol, money, his relationship with his wife, etc) and emphasized them in such a manner to redefine the type of person he really was. Churchill wasn’t perfect, but I don’t see how anyone who has previously studied his life would think this is a good movie.

It (the Darkest Hour) is well with the time and effort to see and maybe see again, if it weren’t so costly.

We all sat in the movie to watch and read through the entire credits.

I would have cheered, if I didn’t know my history of Churchill and Rosevelt in Malta, giving Eastern Europe to Stalin and then the U.K., satisfied their lives are again secured from Nazi tyranny, rushing headlong into the Socialist cesspool it is today!

The “Darkest Two Hours”. Sort of reminded me of “Downfall” (2004), where Hitler’s inner circle was turned out of the sun for the last weeks of WWII.

Semi-interesting I guess. But one viewing was enough.
