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.

I personally feel Gary Oldman if nominated will win the "Oscar."

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.

Gary Oldman is an absolutely amazing actor and has in my opinion did not just portray Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill could not have played the part better than Gary Oldman. Absolute masterpiece! My favorite part was when he yells at Lord Halifax (WILL YOU STOP INTERRUPTING ME WHILE I AM INTERRUPTING YOU). By far my favorite Churchill movie ever.

The physical acting and transformation is truly astounding. I cannot watch without floods of tears. I am an unashamed patriot and an Ex British soldier.

When ever I feel defeated with things, I always watch this film , always and I mean always makes me feel better, never give up . Thank you Gary

More talent in this man than most actors can ever dream of.

I wanted to see this film specifically to see Gary Oldman play Churchill. I was not disappointed but amazed and felt as if I were there watching this great man Churchill.

This is one of the Greatest actors of our time

Gary Oldman is way too underrated. Too many iconic roles gone unnoticed

Gary Oldman, without a doubt the Dustin Hoffman of european character actors. So underrated, yet so brilliant.

I went to the same school as Gary in new cross south London Brilliantly played by Gary south London boy and millwall fan Churchill Greatest Ever Englishman , God bless you Rip

Gary Oldman is: 1. Sexy 2. Talented 3. Entertaining 4. Charming 5. And a Legend

It is just my opinion but I believe you to be the most versatile actor of our time.

Gary Oldman completely dissolves into every role and reemerges as the character. One of the very finest of our era.

Just as a new benchmark was created in prosthetics....your performance Mr. Old man has set a new stellar standard for Sir Winston Churchill that will not be seen again for decades if ever.

You were completely transported back to those unimaginably difficult times. Like YOU were there watching. His realism is so complete, mannerisms, walk, cane movement, cigar, voice, facial expressions.....he became the man! Gary was superb! The sets, supporting cast, color and lighting all came together to make this film the masterpiece it is!

Gary Oldman just keeps growing in stature as an actor - that piece where he talks about the chair Churchill sat in under incredible stress (WW2) and, damaged the armrests!

Didn’t even know this movie existed until very recently. Oldman was absolutely unbelievable as Churchill, but that’s almost to be expected… Gary Oldman is a Legend. Fantastic performance, fantastic picture

Two important notes worth remembering about Winston Churchill. The first was that his mother, whose maiden name was Jennie Jerome, was an American lady, born in New York. I am convinced that her genes contributed to Winston’s energy. The second note is that almost as soon as Winston became a Member of Parliament, he went to have a suit ‘built’ for him by Henry Poole, Tailors in Savile Row even though he could hardly afford to! He felt he had to look the part! Gary Oldman, whose portrayal of Winston was simply brilliant, wore a suit especially ‘built’ for him by Henry Poole which was identical to Winston’s original one! It was even made of the same cloth!

@davidgray3321

5 ай бұрын

I don’t think energy was the key ingredient, what his mother gave him was freedom from the self consciousness and restraint that some British people suffer from, he was seen as pushy and he didn’t care. She also introduced him to many American politicians who were great orators, and all that moulded him considerably. Thank god for his mother, also she used her looks to help him on, every man in London was pleased to help, just for a smile, let alone more. A great lady. He is without question the greatest Anglo American that will or did ever live. And the greatest Britain of our history.

You, Mr Oldman, were breathtaking !

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.

A stellar performance by this actor Gary Oldham. A beautifully made film that will go down as thee best film of history i have seen in my 61 yrs. ✌💖

The most deserved Best Actor Oscar ever won .

One of the best, if not THE best characterisation of Churchill ever. Following on from his portrayal of George Smiley in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, I have no doubt that Gary Oldman is one of our greatest actors. First came to my notice in the film State of Grace staring along side Sean Penn and Ed Harris - another great film. Keep up the great work Gary.

i just finished watching this movie. I HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS GARY OLDMAN PLAYING CHURCHILL. I had to look up the movie after to see who everyone was and was absolutely shocked it was Gary. Absolute tour de force of acting here and completely deserved that Oscar for Best Actor. Bravo.

Well deserved Academy Award. Outstanding performance

This is a very moving film, We wil never surrender

I told a good friend that I wanted to learn about Winston Churchill and he recommended this movie. Just loved it!

Best performance in many many years. Oldman breathed life into the memory of one of the greatest men that ever lived.

I just saw the Darkest Hour. This film was amazing. One reason I watched this film was my dad was a WWII veteran.

Undoubtedly one of the greatest actors ever.

Amazing how such a quiet and humble man can pull off such BIG characters, time and time again. Gary Oldman is right up there with the finest actors ever to grace our nation and indeed the world.

One of the finest performance I've eve seen.

I have never known an actor take on the role of another like Gary Oldman's portrayal of Churchill. It was awe-inspiringly brilliant.

Gary Oldman. Simply. Favorite actor.

Superb performance as Sir Winston Churchill. Oldman nailed it ❤

One of the Greatest films of all time. A Masterpiece !!!

Well done, Mr. Oldman. Thanks for letting us in the US know again what a true leader is.

I knew he could pull it off. Fantastic performance.

I wasn’t watching Gary oldman. I was watching Winston Churchill. Amazing

Whem Gary is in movie, you know it will be a great performance from him. A brilliant, humble, creative talent that has improved with age.

If not the finest, then in the top 3, actor alive today. The role of Winston Churchill is his finest work of all.

...without a doubt , a true masterpiece, what will be a classic.

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.

WOW, WOW! What an incredible performance! The Oscar is more than deserved! An astonishing artist incredibly gifted in transforming himself. The movie is a real masterpiece.

Humble....how refreshing.

Having read and studied Churchill since I was a kid - Gary Oldman nailed it.

Phenomenal performance

Gary Oldman is the MAN! He becomes the character so thoroughly it is truly amazing. I have been a big fan for years, and each new role he takes only increases my esteem of the skill Gary Oldman brings to bear. Wonderful!

Oldman is a fantastic actor that I've always revered since the 80s the only actor that invests in the character so much to the point where you actually forget you're watching an actor

What an awesome actor ❤❤❤

Gary Oldman has played Sid Vicious and Winston Churchill. Two diametrically opposite characters with total immersion into the people he portrayed. Most actors just play a version of themselves. Oldman is a rare actor who can become the personification of the character he is playing.
