Although fictional, it will be fair and accurate.
The world truly has gone insane.
Paging Mr. Rather, Dan Rather, please pick up the courtesy phone...
Screenplay by Dan Rather, I see.
There is so much trash to boycott.
I think I’ll go see Mel Gibson’s next film instead. He needs the money to pay his lawyers.
Can't win no matter what.
In my opinion, this film will bomb big time. They are attempting this smear of Lady Thatcher at a time in our history when conservatism is in its ascendancy. Those who will view and appreciate such a film will be few. And too, it is encouraging that these leftists keep trying and failing.
Conservatives won’t see a film that attacks Margaret Thatcher.
Liberals won’t see a film about Margaret Thatcher.
That also stood out to me: “although fictional, it will be fair and accurate” How is it that fictional can be considered accurate when dealing with a non-fictional life?
The viewer of this movie will no doubt be forced to sit through Streep’s reprisal of Isak Denison’s character, in ‘Out of Africa’, who, being elderly and ill, is lying in bed, mumbling “I had a farm in Africa” only it will be a fictional account of Lady Thatcher and play out with her lying in bed mumbling “I once had power in Britain” or some such nonsense. Streep no doubt is relishing her role as demolisher of truth.
No surprise here. Thatcher is conservative, and therefore all the lefties feel that they have the right to trash her. Changing history and destroying good people is what lefties like to do.
Well, surprise surprise. Another leftist rewriting history.
I’m so mad at all this, I could spit nails.
I am writing lesson plans for my homeschoolers - and I look for different historical documentaries. Most of them make me ill, because so have completely rewritten history to fit their agenda.
(By the way, if anyone has a resource where I can find accurate documentaries please let me know!)
Frankly, a movie about Thatcher wouldn’t be appealing to most simply because of the average Americans lack of knowledge in history. Which was made insanely apparent in Nov ‘08 and continues today. This film was made STRICTLY to trash Thatcher and to “enlighten” the great unwashed. It will likely be featured in the classroom by leftist history teachers as is Gore’s piece of trash.

Some people took issue with me because I had a real problem with Streep in the role. Their thought was that Streep is a great actress, and there was no reason to believe it would anything less than great performance.
It appears however, that my fears were well-founded.
Funny, I can’t recall ever seeing a film which depicted as insane - or even in the grip of dementia - Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Che, Pol Pot, or Uncle Ho.
Heroes of the Left are sacrosanct.
I was watching an old (1969-1970ish) Monty Python skit and they made some comment about stupid people and promptly flashed a photo of Margaret Thatcher on the screen. I was shocked because I hadn't realized lib hatred of her extended that far back in time. Their hatred hasn't improved any since then.
Yet another film that nobody will watch or care about that wins an Oscar.....?
Would we expect anything less from Hollywood? They will always portray conservatives in the wort possible light and depicting Lady Thatcher, as they did Ronald Reagan, as dementia addled fits this model very well.
Anytime leftist kooks make a “movie” about a conservative, you can guarantee that it will be nothing more that pure bull****.
Sue to stop the release becuase of their vile lies.
Sounds like time to use the insane British libel law for a good cause for once.
It is so wacky a law, that it has resulted in “libel tourism”, of foreigners traveling to England so they can sue another foreigner, all because of the tiniest association with England.
Unlike a sane law, the truth is *not* a defense against a libel suit in England. All that matters is that you feel “offended” by being written about.
A Saudi terrorist financier successfully sued an author for identifying him as a terrorist financier. It was totally true, but he did not like seeing it in print. And some small number of the authors books were sold in England, which was all the excuse that was needed.
So Baronness Thatcher and her family should be able to sue the producers of this movie for every penny they might earn in England and then some.
