Moviejournal: The Darkest Hour

Wow Garry Oldman what a performance
Wow Lily James what a beauty

Dark being the mood of this film the lighting couldn't be any darker or else we would all require infrared glasses in the movies. Pressure are so tangible for a nation with enormous pride. each scene has been used to great effect. Didn't know churchill had a hand in Galipoli though. And he apparently had a strong and rewarding marriage.

Contrasts fiercely with earlier reading about him being a rampant racist where he doesn't want to know about India's famine towards the end of the war. Probably a feature of british politicians of that era more than anything.
