"we shall defend our island whatever the cost may be!" - that was truely the most heartwarming sentence of his speech!
Yeah defend it from the one who offered peace 19 july 1940. Nonsense. England's "victory" resulted in losing all its empire...
The way he said "Our Island!" gave me chills. It is their island because they have given it a thousand years of British blood, sweat, and tears. One of my favorite movies
@@cccccccc135 you do know who is and WHY "the one" offered peace to britain?
@@theonkelneico6995 Hitler, of course. Offered it because he never saw Britain as an enemy, the opposite is true.

It did and always will bring me to tears.
Very few people in the world have had a speech like this...where you announced the fact that it was you, your nation alone against the "End of the World". He was incredible, not without flaws but still incredible.

One of my most favourite quotes of all times
Love this quote as well, got me through dark times in high school.
Although there’s no record of Churchill himself actually saying it
Oda clan?
@@ozymandias5513 At this point, it barely matters if he really did say it. He's credited with it, and it helps people.
@G E T R E K T he may have done some less than good things, genocide in East Africa, the Bengal famine, Gallipoli, and so on, but he was the leader the UK needed in the darkest hour
The decision to keep fighting alone with no victory in sight is what made him extraordinary. Cant imagine the guts it took to not sue for peace.
The British will rather die than surrender
Me: I promise I won't get all Political
3 drinks later:
Hahaha, imagine waking up with a hangover only to see that you somehow declared war on Germany last night.
Considering Churchill drank more alcohol for breakfast than most of us do in a week, I'm gonna say that's a historically accurate description.
I'm convinced his slurring manner of speech was because his blood counted as 80-proof wine.
This is too acuratte

Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.

I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.

Apart from the axis...
A few short years after the war Britain surrendered to the 3rd world when HMS Windrush arrived with a load of immigrants from Jamaica. And they have yet to realize the full extent of their lose.
What’s your problem with immigrants you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about 😂
As an American, it is strange that one of the proudest feelings I have for my own nation is not by speech by an American, but by a Brit, saying with prophetic understanding and insight, the last line of this speech: "Until in God's god time the New World, with all its power and might steps forth to the rescue of the Old". This was so true, so necessary, yet we over here did not see it until it was almost too late. Thank God that we did! God bless Britain, and God Bless the United States! Allies and friends forever!
😂
Yes, but what Churchill didn't understand was that we Germans were or are absolutely not interested in the UK. The UK died in its anti-German hatred, which the English had harboured long before 1914. A nation that ran a genocidal empire for centuries, covered up all its crimes and could only be stopped in two wars. Today, the British are where they belong. At the bottom and only just beginning to come to terms with their many crimes.
Well, better late than never
@@spnhm34we were helping before we got involved directly. The destroyers for bases act gave the British 50 naval ships
Canada was also supplying Britain, even before the Americans "officially" entered the war. Canadian destroyers guarded the lifeline of ships crossing the Atlantic. They carried Canadian food, Canadian munitions, and Canadian troops. And many of the pilots who defended the skies during the Battle of Britain were Canadian.
And yes, we had help from the United States, even when the US was officially neutral. American pilots drove their planes across the border (drove, not flew) and left them for the Royal Canadian Air Force. And many American servicemen enlisted with the Canadian military before the United States offically declared war.

@Megas Pantelos I would urge you to read more on the subject. I don't want to tell you you are wrong, as everyone should have there own opinion. However, even the earnest of Churchill's critics would easily admit Churchill's individual contribution to the war was rather substantial, if at times damaging. To suggest that the Soviet contribution is 'the only thing that changed history' is to make an incredibly facile statement.

Gary Oldeman brings this speech to life. Other actors and even Winston himself give a dry delivery.
To be fair the one from Winston himself was recorded years after the speech was given.
I couldn't agree more. I prefer to listen to this version instead of the original.
@@user-kvartz-a8 the 'original'....isn't the original.
It was recorded in 1949 for posterity.
The speech he gave in the commons was far more impassioned by all accounts and more importantly.
It was NOT broadcast.
The original wasn’t dry. It wasn’t recorded, the recorded “original” by Churchill was apparently much less passionate than he was in the commons
How would you know how Winston sounded. What you here and all here is a recording. The real speech was never recorded for security reasons. All films are over dramatic or no 1 would watch them. The train scene did not happen for example.
Today it would be like:
Churchill: "We shall fight on the.."
Bercow: "Ordeeeeeeeeer!"
Bercow is gone
LMAO true
More like... oooodaaaaa!!!
Where have you been? Bercow has been replaced. 😂🤣
Bercow: "I might remind the Prime Minister that any insult towards Europe will not be tolerated on my watch!"
Churchill: *pulls revolver out and shoots Bercow* "Now, where was I.. Oh yes, the beaches!"
To grasp the magnitude of Churchill's words you'd have had to have been there at that time.
- The most powerful standing army in the world which has rampaged across the whole of Europe is barely 20 miles away.
- You are completely alone (empire nations excepted). Your main ally the French have just been comprehensively out thought and cut to ribbons by the blitzkreig and your army barely got out alive. You have virtually no heavy weapons left. The country is wide open.
- Your air force is hugely outnumbered and facing almost overwhelming odds against a battle hardened Luftwaffe.
- You have no idea how you are going to defeat the enemy and frankly don't have the capability to even think about it. All you can hope for is to hold out and pray. Victory is a crazy dream.
'Balls of steel' doesn't even begin to do it justice....
@Sainte Jeanne d'Arc 1429 elaborate for me moiseur , how is this aggressive patriotism when it is quite literally what happened to the British ?
He also mentioned U.S.A. where if the British empiree were to fall then they would carry on the fight.
Sainte Jeanne d'Arc 1429 and for good reason. Who held Europe against the axis. France? Oh wait they were knocked out in the space of a few weeks and surrendered. Half of modern France was ruled by Britain for centuries. Your “country” is somewhat a bit older than the USA, with probably as little culture. Before a few centuries ago you were squabbling duchies and before that some naked tribes running away from the Romans. Agincourt was a joke. So yeah. We have justification.
@Sainte Jeanne d'Arc 1429 You don't seem to deny anything I pointed out. At least we can agree that America is a cultural cesspool- devoid of anything cultural.
lol olol the reason you think America doesn’t have culture is because much of our culture has spread to the rest of the western world. We are the biggest producers of entertainment, which made it easy for our culture to spread. Each state, and often the larger cities, in the US has its own culture and history. Our country is set up in a similar way as the Europe Union. You have to think of each state as almost a separate country.

God save the Queen!
God help us... we’re doing a great injustice to our forefathers who have so much to establish these beautiful lands.
From the words of the King: "Go to the people, they will tell you their mind". So it has always been. Churchill understood that. Too many now fail to listen to the people. The people are the strength of the nation. To subvert it always leads to downfall and failure. History is a relentless and uncaring teacher, one ignores her at dire peril. Churchill studied and understood history as it was. That was his strength.
God bless, you sir, and God bless America. Our 2 nations have been through so much together; truly, we are not exaggerating when we speak of "the special relationship".

drummerhere when is he never perfect for a role?
drummerhere What about the Real Churchill?
Who is this?
Strongly disagree. Oldman, while an excellent actor, butchered this delicate speech.
The best Churchill I've seen is Brendan Gleeson in Into The Storm.
“Then, our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet” this fragment, undoubtedly, is the fire that turned the spark on. Touching the strings of the purest British pride.
Such a grandest orator who put the English language in motion into war.
Battered, bloodly, and nearly broken, the British people in all their pride entrenched themselves and sent a message to Mr Hitler, stating "we can do this all day".
"He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle."
Random fact: it wasn't coined the "Battle of the Atlantic" until Admiral Donitz first radioed the line "The Battle of the Atlantic has begun" to his U-boats following Canada's declaration of war (Canada which, despite then-numbering only eleven million people, would be one of only three nations directly responsible for D-Day landings and would field the third largest navy in the world by the end of the war).
@@speakingofreality4886 O Canada which would later freeze bank accounts of brave truckers and their single mother supporters
It's also extremely correct. Germany actually never stood a chance they just got lucky in the start. Churchill is just reminding everyone.
And now some people want to tear down statues of this giant...

I come back to this often as it is so uplifting and inspiring. The movie is a masterpiece like almost every Churchill movie.
WW2, no matter the politics of Britain at the time they all just came together. Right wing, left wing, liberals and conservatives all came together to win the war. Churchill had his flaws like any man but he was without any doubt the perfect man for the job
Would the liberals, conservatives, and socialists come together today to fight a common enemy? No chance. This country hasn't never been this divided since the English Civil War.

@Sassysim Not like he requested that the princely states give any food they have in surplus to the Bengal region, which they all refused to do so, or anything,
Humans are tribal, they'll find ways to create division in a group of 10, until they find a bigger common enemy to unite against. If aliens invaded tomorrow, the world would unite together as one, if not then we'll likely declare whatever foreign power is enemy number one for xyz reasons and go on merrily on our way to world war 3.

This year there is a good crop of rice, but we are faced with an acute shortage of wheat, aggravated by unprecedented storms….By cutting down military shipments and other means, I have been able to arrange for 350,000 tons of wheat to be shipped to India from Australia during the first nine months of 1944. This is the shortest haul. I cannot see how to do more.
I have had much hesitation in asking you to add to the great assistance you are giving us with shipping but a satisfactory situation in India is of such vital importance to the success of our joint plans against the Japanese that I am impelled to ask you to consider a special allocation of ships to carry wheat to India from Australia….We have the wheat (in Australia) but we lack the ships.

@@red2932 damn if that's true then I take it back. Will have to do more research did not know all of that
Churchill is inspired by the speech of George Clemenceau, whom he respected a lot. Clemenceau pronounced this during the 1st World War:
"The Germans can take Paris, but that will not stop me from continuing the war.We will fight on the Loire, we will fight on the Garonne, we will fight even in the Pyrenees.And if, in the end, we are pushed back outside the Pyrenees, we will continue the war at sea "
Two great man of the same temper!
Nicknamed ''Le Tigre''
The political leader who most positively influenced his country during the war, and who gained the most prestige from it, is unquestionably Clemenceau. One can not imagine the prestige he has acquired at the end of this world conflict. In France we call it even
"Père la Victoire" in English : Father of Victory .
Churchill was admiring this extraordinary man, and to return to the famous speech, Churchill was present during the speech. And for real, Churchill loses World War I politically speaking. The battle of the Dardanelles is a disaster and it is the main craftsman. His political credit and almost ruined after his.
But it makes her heroic return during the "dark hours" even more magnificent. We do not make any more of her ...
@Rosida Andriyana Churchill has an advantage because today we speak English more than French. But Hitler's rise to power was a direct consequence of Clemenceau's ferocious jingoism against the Germans. Nobody in WW2 came close (and that's not a criticism of Churchill, but realistically it was harder to convince the public to support a new war after their memory of WW1)

@e C good point.
would it have been so bad if we had been invaded, i mean britain has been invaded numerous times before. in fact we'd be better off financially if we had surrendered but russia would be worse off
In reality, had germany tried to invade, the royal navy would have sunk the entire invasion force. Germany didnt have the assets to stop them. But the brits didnt know that.
@e C1. the fleet is based on the far side of the island, and we know in general airpower lacks the stopping power needed to stop a large determined fleet.
2. Bismark and Tirpitz barely matched the Treaty 16" battleships. Hood probably would have knocked out Bismark if not for the detonation
3. Even if they had won the battle of britian, nothing stops the british from doing what japan planned to do and just not fight back against air raids, saving all the fighters they build for stopping an invasion
And how are they transporting the men? What boats are they using? River Barges that could get swamped if there is mild weather, like they were planning on using? What the RN loses in the process doesnt matter much, as everything will be even worse for the germans.
Operation Downfall, the most absurd naval landing ever planed is more realistiv than sealion.
Edit, oh yeah, and they didnt have Bismarck till august 1940, and tirpitz till febuary 41

After the first one, in which Britain, France and Russia were unable to defeat Germany, only an idiot could possibly believe that a generation later Britain could defeat Germany alone.

This was arguably one of the most important speeches by any British politician ever. I love the line by Lord Halifax at the end (not in this clip). Winnie has just mobilised the English language and sent it into battle. When watching this film in the cinema there was an elderly lady sitting a few seats behind me reciting this speech word for word. She was of that generation, whose "finest hour" saved our nation. Winston's great oratory has now become the stuff of history and legend. He was indeed a Titan, shaped by events and shaper of them also. We owe this man a debt of gratitude that is beyond ordinary measure. His memory and honoured place in our island story is assured. We will never see his like again.

@@DarkMatterX1 No. Because I also recognise that for all Winston's achievements, he and I would have some serious political differences as to how best to run a free and independent country. My point of agreement with him was that we should be in fact be free in the first place to make those choices. I cite you one other example of this man's greatness. When the WW2 was over and we had an election in which the Labour Party won a resounding victory Winston was asked by a somewhat perplexed American reporter how he felt about being rejected by the British People and did he feel they were showing somewhat how ungrateful they were - to which his perfect reply was. Not at all. That's why we fought the war. Brilliant response. Only a true and sincere patriot and democrat could have replied thus. What a statesman? What a man?
