      Sykeye S -
      "Why are all British actors so damn talented...."
      I think PART of the answer accounts also for why we are SO good at War, and why we have invented SO many sports (among other things):
      A natural Sense of Playfulness (and Adventure) in our national character (which in turn also explains our love of Humour and *word-play* , the latter dating back to Saxon times).
      Just some random thoughts...............................

      Don't get too cocky.
      Only the Shakespeare theatre training (at school) is the main power.
      The English were actually not good in war.... on THEIR OWN..against POTENT enemies.
      The English were good in forging alliances , and make their partners TAKE THE FIRST SHOTS before arriving LAST on the battlefield...(from the Wars of succession in 1700's , thru the Napoleons, WW1 til WW2...check it).
      And the Empire building came from conquering third rate technologically underrated foreign kingdoms..and overrunning colonial settlements when they were at their weakest while the brits had theirs prepared in a kindof "blitz" attack if you will...
      And the Inventing most Sports thing is also...a nay.
      But once HAVINg a stretched Empire OF COURSE leads to vast acceptance of all kinds of accepted sports.

      Justin Dieterich I was impressed with both Jarred Harris (The Crown) and James Purefoys (Churchill) take on Elizabeth II father. Both roles were emotionally engaging, I prefer them more than Collin Firths take on him to be honest.

    • @angelacarleton9575
      @angelacarleton9575 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I was hoping to see King George VI's stutter but wish Colin Firth was there instead. However, it would have taken something away from the part for Gary Oldman as Churchill. After all Colin Firth has such presence. All actors including Colin Firth admires Gary Goldman for his chameleon talent to submerge himself so thoroughly he is unrecognizable. He is amazing! I personally feel Gary Oldman if nominated will win the "Oscar."

    • @LittleB2007
      @LittleB2007 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Lithgow is not better, it's just you prefer him to Oldman. That's totally okay. But even Churchill scholars and family members say Oldman is the only actor who nailed the true spirit and human side of the guy.

    • @vigfuseiriksson4550
      @vigfuseiriksson4550 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have not seen more praise for Oldman than I saw for Lithgow from either of the sources you mention. And, having read all of Sir Winston's work as well as listened to the extant speeches, I have to say that Lithgow's depiction nails the spirit and general presence of the man, while Oldman overdramatizes, speaks in a tone of voice and cadence which Sir Winston never, ever used, and generally lacks the quintessential feel of soppy bulldog the man exuded.
      True, I am not privvy to knowing what he was like in private, but I dare say the accuracy of Lithgow's portrayal of the public persona over Oldman's, is not disputable.

      Maybe a little exaggerated don't ya think LoL at least half the population had a parent or grandparent alive during WWII and were in school when WWII was relatively recent history. I would dare say even the majority of high school students today have at least know that Churchill was someone important.
      Anyway the whole thing about people doomed to repeat history if they don't remember history is hogwash as we're seeing now.

    An extraordinary film made so by an extraordinary actor.
    I watch "Darkest Hour" every year.
    Winston Churchill was the greatest statesman of the 20th Century and, so far, the 21st Century.

    My personal favorite scene in Darkest Hour is the phone conversation with FDR regarding delivery of fighter aircraft and the fact that the Brits had to come, literally, push the aircraft over the Canadian border for delivery. Mr. Oldman perfectly captured Churchill's desperate astonishment at the absolute absurdity of the situation which was just one small piece of a much larger, much more desperate and, one could say, vastly more absurd situation going on all around him in that moment.

Brilliant acting, in fact.... Pure brilliance in every facet of this movie....A treasure in our memory bank!!

    Gary is one of the best actors of our time! Super nice guy and can any role he’s in I’m watching.
    He gained my respect when he won an Oscar (I believe) and he made reference to America. How great it is here etc.
    he’s not from here but respects this nation. Tons of Americans don’t even respect this nation.
    Great actor and he did an awesome job as Churchill.

    Excellent film, excellent Oldman. When I first heard about the casting I thought this isn’t going to work but I completely agree a new benchmark was reached. Kristen Scott Thomas was excellent too. Up there with the best Albert Finney and Robert Hardy. Also makes one pine for politicians who listened to their people.

    There's a lot of work that goes into properly portraying such a complex real person who is in such a multiple variabled set of circumstances. This would require an actor with a lot of intelligence and empathy. Thank goodness we have such smart and humane people interested in acting.
