@@gabbeskillz6262 It's not a lie. The Third Reich turned oppression and mass murder into an industrial process, more efficient and horrifying, for the amount of time it existed, than ANYTHING the world experienced before or since. Every other horror imposed by other nations and regimes that resulted in more aggregate death and enslavement either occurred over many decades or even centuries; or it was diluted by cultural norms that allowed for some mitigation.
Churchill's gift as an orator was his ability to compel his audience, the British people, to confront a very uncomfortable truth about their predicament in the spring and summer of 1940, to resign themselves to face the horrible ordeal that lay ahead, and to resolve themselves to see their struggle through to victory, regardless of the cost. That victory over Nazi Germany would be attained only with an enormous human sacrifice, and the ruinous financial cost of the war would eventually cost Britain her vast empire. But the nation herself would survive.
The ruinous financial cost might not have been so dear if America hadn't demanded that Britain pay back the money they borrowed in order to buy weapons and food (From America) - with interest. Most nations don't profit from their allies in a war they are jointly fighting. But Britain only finished paying back the war loans in 2006. The cancellation of the lend lease act basically forced Britain to pay extortionate amounts - or *starve*. They essentially ended up paying back twice what was borrowed. Meaning that the US actually made a huge profit on the money they lent Britain. The impact of this, is seen in the fact that Brits were still rationing food up until July 1954, nearly a decade after the wars end, the same year Germany joins NATO.
Benjamin, the loan that was paid off in 2006 was a $4 billion dollar loan that was made after the war to keep Britain from going bankrupt. It wasn’t for arms and food during the war. Lend Lease aid to Britain during the war was in goods valued at more than $30 billion dollars in 1945 dollars. The United States never asked for or received repayment of that sum. As Churchill said in 1941, the Lend Lease Act was the most unsordid act in history.
Interestingly he had learned the proper way of speaking by reading both Shakespeare and Edward Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Both masterful in my opinion.
Churchill was undoubtedly a great orator. He knew that though the cost of the war would be great. To admit defeat and surrender would be tyranny for the British people. Another great speech by a great man. Gary Oldman's acting is superb.
One can call Churchill's speeches a bit pompous, but if you listen to them, and compare them with the historical facts of the time, they are also filled with truth. It is this truth that separates Churchill's skills from those of his opponent in the Reich, who was as able to get people behind him with his speeches, but had to lie to achieve it. He said he'd been a worker (he hadn't), he lied about the Jews and said he had always strived for peace. Also, Churchill's speeches have an eternal quality and a knack for describing complicated situations in simple terms: the term iron curtain is by him. It is no wonder that after the London terror attacks, people encouraged each other quoting from his speeches. "What kind of people do they think we are!" is one of my personal favorites here. From beyond the grave, his words still call to us, encouraging us to stand up to terror and accept the price we may have to pay.
Diedert Spijkerboer And in addition, Churchill never stooped to the wild gesticulations of the leader of the Reich - Churchill’s speeches were stirring because the WORDS HE USED were stirring. He let those words speak for themselves and they conveyed exactly what he intended - grim determination to prevail against the onslaught despite the odds. It was a triumph of substance over form.
Benoit Pellet I totally agree with you. I once heard a story of a German who got excited by one of Hitler's speeches and decided to read in the paper what Hitler had said. Just reading the plain words, he got completely disenchanted with it.
Benoit Pellet Adding to what you said, I think that what Churchill did so well in the dark days when Britain stood alone was that he could tell people the hard truth in such a way that they could bear it. Telling people a lie they want to hear is so much easier than telling people a hard truth without them then wanting to shoot the messenger! Given all these circumstances, it is no surprise that people still quote Churchill where appropriate (like at the time of the London terror attacks) while Hitler's words are basically forgotten.
Actually, it was the German Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels who did use first the term "Iron Curtain", in reference to the Soviet Union. It was in a Nazi newspaper, in 1943 or 44 - anyway, before Churchill. But you are right in everything else.
Hi Cborg, I found out that Churchuill only popularized the term after I made that comment. I didn't know it was originally by Goebbels - one of the few times he didn't lie, I suppose. Goebbels' lies were particularly nasty. As an example, he once said that one day they will make the Jews shut their rude lying mouths, thus saying only implicitly that (all) Jews are rude liars. It was also incredibly sick that both Goebbels and Hitler lied on purpose. Fortunately, people like Churchill saw the nazis exactly for what they were. Churchill himself had access to secret government dossiers on Germany even in the 1930s and when he became prime minister, he knew exactly what he was dealing with. I personally hate most wars, but some people, including the nazis, cannot be reasoned with. They can only be stopped by brute force. I'm pretty sure both Goebbels and Hitler were psychopaths of the worst kind and it is known that even as children, parents have no choice but to be forceful with such children, as they have no empathy and simply cannot understand why certain behaviours are bad. I once met a guy who probably had psycopathic tendencies. he seemed quite nice at first, but any interest he seemed to show proved not to be genuine. I later met him and he'd been convicted for selling homemade drugs to minors. When I pressed him about this, the only reply he gave was that "drugs aren't for everybody." he completely failed to understand why selling drugs to minors is especially wrong. The only thing that now seems to stop him is the risk of going to prison. I eventually broke of all contact with him.
Whoever played Churchill's friend during the final section seriously was perfect. the slight lick along with the laugh. Of course, Garry Oldman killed it but good god I can keep watching this movie
Churchill was a naturalist. That is to say he didn't mind, nor thought it improper to be nude. When he visited the United States, when doubts about the nature between the relationship between such great nations still remained and after a very late night and subsequent early morning, our great President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, called upon him whilst he was in the water closet bathing and surprised him. Churchill opened the door, fully in the nude, and most pointedly stated, "Mister President, you can obviously see that I have nothing to hide." They became life long friends.

Even if we came a couple of years after the start of the war America heard Churchill speak. He was one of those few people in history that shall be remembered for all time.
What's interesting about Oldmans Churchill portrayal is that it kinda seems inaccurate at first. We've seen Churchill portrayed as a grumbling drunk for so long that to see Oldman play him more energetically seems wrong, but if you actually go to the prime sources and watch footage of Churchill, as Oldman did, you can see the vibrancy and energy in the way he moves, carries himself, and even speaks at times. Oldman totally tapped into that instead of imitating other Churchill actors.
Some times we most give things up, lose them, so that those we love may continue to have them. The UK did nearly lose it all, but the world lies in their debt, permanently, forever.
Wars are expensive. And if there is a cause to go out for, this was it. Britain is still one of the richest/ militarily capable countries in the world. Britain just isnt top dog anymore, which was always going to happen. Rome, Greece and Mongolia were all the dominant forces on the planet at one point, not anymore. America will fall behind China and then China will eventually recede. Its how the world works
At the time of this speech, the situation for Brittain was not as dire as it would soon be. There were no terror bombings yet on British cities, and the RAF was not yet engaged. This made the house not receptive for a emotional and philosophical speech. But when the RAF was at its knees, and thousands of Britisch citizens lied dead under rubble. A emotional and philosophical message of strength and hope was exactly what the people needed to hear.

Wonderful movie!
He may failed in my country, in Gallipoli but that doesn’t change him being one of the iconic leaders of the world.
Onat Dayanıklı he didn’t fail you, Gallipoli wasn’t the fault of Churchill, it was the fault of the naval commanders who fired on the beach early, that is assuming you are Australian and not Turkish
Dan Hogan-Hussein I’m Turkish and it’s not the Britons fault, Atatürk and the Turkish soldiers fought amazing and it was impossible to beat them. We defended our land without fear and no commander could beat Gallipoli
Onat Dayanıklı bruh you literally beat the British you pushed them back
Dan Hogan-Hussein yes it happened but I’m not happy with turkeys current situation. Atatürk beat the british and British respect but he is hated in his own country. Sadly turkey is going to be Arabic
Onat Dayanıklı I’m half Turkish and I agree i just don’t see how he failed the country, is atakturk really hated in Turkey?
Cant believe this is the same man who played sirius black
Great speech in the world.
Gonna tell my grandkids this was Churchill
Hard to believe that there were many Tory MPs who were sceptical about Winston Churchill when he became PM on 10/5/40.....
"The Brits, they fight back.." this is written in viking history. Though you had a different name back then. As we did.
Aim?
VICTORY!
what people of iran need now against the regime
True
Definition of guts .
This is a better speech than the one he gives at the end of the film.
@@cmdr4589 *Whait is our aim. Victory, victory at all costs...*
No this means alot more meaning, no parley, no negoiation, nothing but war, till tyranny is vanquished.
He told it as it was. No 'spin' or PR!!
President John F. Kennedy said of Churchill: “He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.” (The president was quoting Edward R. Murrow of CBS News).
Victory at all costs ~ Мы за ценой не постоим
I think this is the best speech of the movie
victory in spite of all terror
A great performance by Gary but too bad for the historical inaccuracy. Churchill repeatedly called the act of putting ice in one's drink "barbaric".
Seeking peace as well, sadly.
Victory. Victory at all costs!
