"Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts." What a war-drama movie to watch. Gary Oldman deserves more than one Oscar. It's his best and one of the best war time political courageous movie I've seen. The biopic of Charchill shows us there's a certain irony that, as Britain stood alone against Nazism, Churchill found the courage to stand through community. King George tells him that he'll support Churchill, even if he chooses to risk the island's destruction. His wife, Clementine, encourages him in his moment of doubt: "You are strong because you are imperfect," she tells him. "You are wise because you have doubt." And then, when he asks regular Londoners on the Tube what they would think about considering making peace with Hitler's Germany, their answer is unequivocal. His country inspired him. And so, in turn, he inspired it. The story, the acting everything is flawless. I must say, Oldman, who has just won a Golden Globe, is in phenomenal form as Churchill. He doesn't underplay at all. There wouldn't be any point in that. He blusters and bellows, makes V signs, smokes cigars, and will win the Oscar too.
