Marvellous. Excellent impersonation, touching back-story, first-class portrait of a truly great man. A bit more of a nod to his machiavellian/opportunistic/self-promoting streak might have been called for in a longer film - he did after all gamble (correctly, as it turned out) that Hitler would be bad news and the means for his return to power - but i'm a sucker for more idealism anyway. The dream sequence at the start and link to Marlborough was very well done and an excellent thread tying it all together. Outstanding.

I should say.. . One of his greatest faults was... that he was human. For we all make our fair share of mistakes and missteps, do we not. For none of us were in his situation. We are just in the future. We are just armchair saints. But even the saints make their mistakes also. Winston done the best job he could. And...any missteps can also be blamed on the world. In my opinion... coincidences of history and when they appear is not happenstance. Call Winston what you shall. But amongst the thieves , he may have been the only choice Britain had, and for that matter.. the rest of the world. At least for that moment in time.

Because HIS mistakes in WW1 weren't the only ones made, nor were they anywhere near as numerous or disastrous as those made by the rest of the country's military. Winston Churchill was without question the greatest Briton that ever lived. He was the one who always knew from the start that only force would stop Hitler's Reich and he led and galvanised Britain when we were at our lowest ebb and stood alone against Germany after France fell up until USA finally joined the war. But you probably already know that.

+Coody-Baroody It was only after his success in World War 2 that gained him fame. If I was a soldier part of the common wealth I would have doubts being placed again under his leadership.

+Curtis I I not saying he was a great Prime Minister. But he was the greatest war-time Prime Minister this country could've dreamed of in 1940-1942. We stood alone in defiance against the Nazis and when other politicians wanted to try and make peace with them, all but surrendering, it was Churchill who refused. We were totally beaten, outmatched and if it wasn't for our country being an island, we would've been enslaved like the rest of Western Europe. So my grandparents generations (the greatest ever) morale needed saving so the country could fight on and save itself in its darkest time. And that's exactly where Churchill was a pure genius. All in all, that's pretty much the only thing he really did himself. He knew without USA we couldn't liberate Europe & win the war. But his skill in saying exactly what we needed to hear, while Britain would've been gripped in terror, is what we owe him so much for and why he will always be remembered as the greatest Briton of all time.
@DaleChambs

+Curtis I You have to remember, our people would've been absolutely terrified of Germany. Especially after France fell. It's all too easy for us now, 70 years later, with our comfortable lives, family homes, holidays, cars, phones, Internet and free instant access to news and current world events to forget what it must've been like for our people back then. It must've been complete and absolute terror for most people. So it's when you put yourself in THAT frame of mind and try to fully understand how the British people were suffering in fear that Churchill's brilliance is proven. He was our saviour and all of Europe, not just Britain, owe him our respect & gratitude. FOREVER.

Ronnie Barker sounds like Fletcher as the Butler.

RIP Albert Finney
Yeah, give old Harry Hun a damn good thrashing!
It's sort of weird how triumphant it is at the end when the world about to be plunged into the most terrible chapter of modern history.
OH ,yes he was a fine character,think about Lusitania and the war against the boers

I should say.. . One of his greatest faults was... that he was human. For we all make our fair share of mistakes and missteps, do we not. For none of us were in his situation. We are just in the future. We are just armchair saints. But even the saints make their mistakes also. Winston done the best job he could. And...any missteps can also be blamed on the world. In my opinion... coincidences of history and when they appear is not happenstance. Call Winston what you shall. But amongst the thieves , he may have been the only choice Britain had, and for that matter.. the rest of the world. At least for that moment in time.
his mother was a Yank too. So, in a way, he is ours too!
Not to mention using Aussie and kiwi troops for bait in Gallipoli in ww1. The Turks made short work of them at the time, and it was Winnies idea. He had to resign in disgrace from the admiralty at the time.
@timebandit71 , quite right my Australian cousin, with a little help from the rest of the world!

imagine hearing those words of war and feeling proud that britain was going to stand up to those nazi thugs and also feeling hopefull of the future and scared all in one .
and now a new storm is gathering and who will lead us now.
thats true mate. but understand his background he was from the old british upper class. the empire and our little island came first. so he would let the uk come first. sorry mate but its true.
Not much Hiddles in this... :(
That's because we are living in a poor generation of incredibly stupid human beings and smart technology.

a dam son of a bich, and dam great man, forgive me the paradox.
Why are they so happy for a guy that caused the disastrous Turkish campaign being back as first lord of admiralty?

Because HIS mistakes in WW1 weren't the only ones made, nor were they anywhere near as numerous or disastrous as those made by the rest of the country's military. Winston Churchill was without question the greatest Briton that ever lived. He was the one who always knew from the start that only force would stop Hitler's Reich and he led and galvanised Britain when we were at our lowest ebb and stood alone against Germany after France fell up until USA finally joined the war. But you probably already know that.

+Coody-Baroody It was only after his success in World War 2 that gained him fame. If I was a soldier part of the common wealth I would have doubts being placed again under his leadership. Plus, he didn't really do anything special up until this moment. I do think he is the greatest leader in Britain's history but this is overly dramatic.

+Curtis I I not saying he was a great Prime Minister. But he was the greatest war-time Prime Minister this country could've dreamed of in 1940-1942. We stood alone in defiance against the Nazis and when other politicians wanted to try and make peace with them, all but surrendering, it was Churchill who refused. We were totally beaten, outmatched and if it wasn't for our country being an island, we would've been enslaved like the rest of Western Europe. So my grandparents generations (the greatest ever) morale needed saving so the country could fight on and save itself in its darkest time. And that's exactly where Churchill was a pure genius. All in all, that's pretty much the only thing he really did himself. He knew without USA we couldn't liberate Europe & win the war. But his skill in saying exactly what we needed to hear, while Britain would've been gripped in terror, is what we owe him so much for and why he will always be remembered as the greatest Briton of all time.

+Curtis I You have to remember, our people would've been absolutely terrified of Germany. Especially after France fell. It's all too easy for us now, 70 years later, with our comfortable lives, family homes, holidays, cars, phones, Internet and free instant access to news and current world events to forget what it must've been like for our people back then. It must've been complete and absolute terror for most people. So it's when you put yourself in THAT frame of mind and try to fully understand how the British people were suffering in fear that Churchill's brilliance is proven. He was our saviour and all of Europe, not just Britain, owe him our respect & gratitude. FOREVER.

You're completely missing the point of his question... He's rightly pointing out that Churchill's previous military experience (Gallipoli) was a disaster. Hence at THAT time, it is strange to imagine the average naval sailor feeling overjoyed at his return.
