It's not pathetic at all. Churchill never had hatred of Germany. He had great respect for the German people. He was saddened by what happened to them under Hitler. But - like Zelensky now - he managed to touch a nerve and make a universal moral case - one that transcended national boundaries. It's rare, but when it happens it's like capturing lighting in a bottle. This speech happened a few days after Dunkirk. Using civilian boats to rescue an army on the run wasn't just a tactical maneuver. It was a political one. He know the imagery of British citizens pulling together to save an army in the field, risking death at the hands of planes and mines, would create a gigantic contrast between Nazi Germany and Democratic Britain. He won hearts and minds by piecing through the noise, fear and confusion of that time with absolute moral clarity - he put it on display, and he trusted people around the world to understand what it meant. The Nazi's lost when someone finally decided to answer them with defiance. The US ( I'm American ) was entirely disinterested in the War until Dunkirk. But the imagery of Dunkirk, the fierceness of Churchill, the valiant defense of the homeland inspired us in ways we didn't think was possible. And while the Japanese attacking us is what brought us into the war ultimately - we were ready to commit by then. And now 500 million people across Europe have peace, prosperity and liberty - including Germany. Props to the Germans now btw. You guys built 6 LNG Terminals in a year. People didn't even think this was possible. Now American and Norwegian Gas flows to all of Europe. German Tanks are some of the best in the world, and now Ukraine has them. Sanctions, economic support, all of it. You guys paid alot for Russia's rancid barbarism. But you proved to me at least that you learned the right lesson from history.

Such a momentous speech. It basically signalled to the world that while Germany was a massive, seemingly unstoppably military force, and that most of Europe had fallen either by conquest or alliance with the Nazis, Britain and by extension her empire were not backing down. It told those subjugated states like Holland that the war was not over, that the fight was only just beginning. It told the likes of the United States that Britain would fight on, no matter what policy the US chose, and it also guaranteed that the British would not bow to the Japanese in the pacific, which ensured that the war would reach around the globe. This in turn made the US involvement a matter of time, rather than if they would join at all.

Years later I asked if I might have their copy of Churchill's history of the Second World War, and my mother gave me one of her strongest rebukes -- she heard those speeches, via the CBC, in Saskatoon, during the War, and Churchill's magnificent words, and Britain's resolve, kept us free. In the supreme test, WSC and the Brits saved freedom. Today, decades later we must be sure to not fritter all away the treasures and duties and care for others that liberty requires.

The attack was the main part of Operation Catapult, a British plan to neutralise or destroy French ships to prevent them from falling into German hands after the Allied defeat in the Battle of France.

Politicians, especially wartime politicians, can be an incredibly ruthless bunch but from the perspective of the British at the time, they were a small island nation off the coast of a Europe mastered by Nazis. The French were refusing to move their ships out of the reach of Germany and they took the action they thought they needed to. Even FDR said he would have done the same in their position. It was a horrific thing to do, a horrific loss of life, but the entire world was going through similar tragedy and people do the best they can with the information they have at the time.

Fantastic piece of history retold. A key detail in the parliament scene that those unfamiliar with the Westminster system may have missed is to do the sides of the house cheering. You'd reasonably expect that Winston Churchill's own government (the Conservative, Liberal and National Labour coalition) sitting behind him would be the ones cheering, while those opposite (Clement Atlee's Labour party) are the ones cheering Churchill throughout his speech. This is because, strangely enough, Churchill's own party (or at least core members of it) favoured a peace settlement with the Germans, mediated via the Italians. Despite Churchill's successor (Chamberlain) being removed from power because he wasn't seen as a strong enough leader to counter the threat of Hitler (and now Churchill who was that stronger leader in favour of defeating Hitler), his coalition had seen the massive losses in Europe and defeats suffered by "many old and famous states" at the hands of the Nazi's, and were basically ready to bend the knee. Attlee's Opposition Government (the Labour Party) had itself actually opposed rearmament in the 1920s and 1930s, preferring internationalism under the League of Nations instead of national security based policy. It was actually Attlee who stood against this, saying in 1934 "We have absolutely abandoned any idea of nationalist loyalty. We are deliberately putting a world order before our loyalty to our own country. We say we want to see put on the statute book something which will make our people citizens of the world before they are citizens of this country?" In fact Attlee's opposition to Chamberlain's increase to the defence budget in 1936, two years before war broke out, was chiefly because he felt it was too late and that this final throw of the dice would basically erase the progress of Social Legislation that he and the Labour party were proponents of - he wasn't opposed to the concept that Britain should be spending money on its defence, he was opposed to the idea that Britain should have sat idle for as long as it did and was now faced with putting every available penny into "armaments of war", instead of into the wellbeing of its people. By 1937 Labour who had dumped the idea of pacifism as a party policy and were against the conservative Chamberlain's policy of appeasement. This is what leads to the famous scene in this video, where Attlee's Labour Part in Opposition is loudly cheering on Churchill, a Conservative, while paradoxically Churchill's own Conservative Government sits quietly behind him with barely a whisper of support until the end, where it is Chamberlain himself who dabs his forehead with his handkerchief, signalling to the Govermment MPs that they are also going to dump appeasement and the peace deals with Italy, and support Churchill into the war.

The way they were able to embody the true power of that speech in this film is a testament to history itself. That speech may very well have saved the free world. Had the British thrown in the towel things would have likely gone in a very different and negative direction. Churchill was without a doubt one of the greatest figures the English world has ever produced, this film did a fine job of showing that imo.

"We Shall Never Surrender!" With this one word, he left his name in history.

Churchill was a blatant racist. I once met Earl Mountbatten of Burma (my father had spent some time on Mountbatten's staff during WWII) who was the final Viceroy of India and who oversaw the partition of British India into the states of India and Pakistan. I asked him why he was in such a tearing hurry to get partition done. He told me that since the British economy was in such a parlous state after the war that he feared that the Labour Prime Minister, Clement Attlee, might lose a vote of no confidence and possibly Churchill would return as PM. If that happened, Churchill would have brought Indian independence to a screeching halt if he could. Mountbatten felt that he might only have a limited time to achieve Indian independence. Also, although he didn't know it at the time, the Muslim leader, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, was dying of cancer and was really pushing to see an independent Pakistan before his death.

Most of the free world wouldn’t be here without Winston Churchill. Even us Americans respect the man.

I’m American but I teared up watching this.

I can listen this on a repeated loop , every word is so heavy and full pride.

Churchill had already lived such a life by this point. Briefly he was taken prisoner during the Boer War - and escaped. Went into politics afterwards including holding important offices. In the First World War he failed in the Dardanelles as First Lord of the Admiralty in trying to end the war sooner so went back to the trenches to fight with his unit which included several close shaves with death in Ypres. Then started the "Landship Committee" which built the first tanks and did hasten the end of the First World War. He spent much of the inter-war years as a political outcast in reality but was one of the few to see the coming war with Hitler as inevitable which is where this film picks up. After the war he was also one of the first to talk about an Iron Curtain descending across Europe as well as other notable accomplishments like his Nobel art prize and many paintings. It's poignant that, as a military man, used phrases like "Whatever the cost may be..." having been in the trenches of the First World War to see the horrors firsthand. The way I would often describe him was as a gambler, but he was able to brush off failure and keep going. He admitted this himself when he talked about "Success is not final, defeat not fatal but it is the courage to go on that counts." 🙂

Truly awe-inspiring speech. This made the British Commonwealth unite under a warrior Spirit to defend everything they hold dear. Bravo

Legendary motivator/role model who prove words are powerful to persuade to do necessary tasks.

Excellent film and well done by Gary Oldman. I love how Churchill went and spoke with the people. It is a very moving story made even better by it being based on a true story. Victory, Victory!
