| DARKEST HOUR movie poster |
One of the movies that The Travelling Toe saw post plague was "Darkest Hour". This is a fabulous movie. Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill is absolutely terrific. He looks like him, he talks like him and has his mannerisms. Gary has won several awards for this portrayal and hopefully there will be one more coming his way!
Here is an overview of the plot from the internet:
A thrilling and inspiring true story begins at the precipice of World War II as, within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman) must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.
If you saw the recent movie "Dunkirk", this movie takes place just a few months before that historic event.
