Biography Drama History War

7.4 / 10

During World War II, as Adolf Hitler's awesomely powerful Wehrmacht rampages across Europe, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Neville Chamberlain, is forced to resign, recommending Winston Churchill as his replacement. But even in his early days as the country's leader, Churchill is under pressure to commence peace negotiations with the German dictator or to fight head-on the seemingly invincible Nazi regime, whatever the cost. However difficult and dangerous his decision may be, Churchill has no choice but to shine in the country's darkest hour.

British pig Churchill, biggest criminal in human history, should be tried and sentenced by a court - even after his death. Throw this criminal pig behind bars! CHURCHILL IS A PEDOPHILE, Child-abusing murderer! - @Thursday, February 15, 2018 1:38 PM

Elberiver11

Churchill started the bombing war on Germany on May 10th 1940, the very same day he became leader of Britain - this man couldn't wait to burn children and women alive. Churchill was a pedophile, child-abusing war criminal and a MURDERER. After he started bombing Germany, the Germans did not even bomb Britain back for three whole months. While Hitler clearly offered peace in his speeches , and brought 20 peace offers to war-monger Churchill, this british pig did the opposite of peace, but even dragged the USA into war, thus turning a Polish-German conflict into world war. Not Hitler, but Churchill is guilty of this terrible war - Yes, Churchill is guilty of all DEATHS of 'WW II. Churchill, dirtiest british pig on this planet - and you British people are a mean-minded, evil tiny nation of furtive evil dwarves, you are a fraudulent, furtive and honourless nation. Shame on the British, criminals who lie about their own evil history. - @Thursday, February 15, 2018 1:36 PM

3 actors have portrayed Churchill in the last 10 years, Brendon Gleeson, Brian Cox and now Gary Oldman. I'd say the genre is overdone. Why can't the British do a movie about 1066? - @Tuesday, February 13, 2018 11:53 AM

Oldman is an amazing actor. Churchill... A racist evil murderous b*stard. Look up what he said about Africans and Indians. He led the systematic starvation of bengal. Yet he's revered and put on the five quid note. The murderer.. - @Saturday, February 10, 2018 12:47 AM

If you're curious as to who Churchill really was, look up Henry Strakosch's role in bailing him out of debt. And disregard ALL the silly romantic English propaganda you've ever had the misfortune to read, see or hear. If you want the truth, ask the Indians, the Irish, the Welsh, the Greeks, the Poles, the French, or the Germans. Freemason, warmonger, imperialist, racist, a fraudster, and an arrogant cold-blooded war criminal - just the things history knows for sure. - @Monday, February 5, 2018 3:07 AM

Winston Churchill authorised the use of the “most devastating chemical weapon ever devised” against the Russian Bolsheviks at the end of the First World War, a noted historical author has revealed. Giles Milton, who was speaking to The Telegraph following his appearance at the Wigtown Book Festival to promote his new book, Russian Roulette, said: “Churchill, who was secretary of state for war at the time, wanted to really go hard against the Bolsheviks in Russia. He wanted to support the White Army in their fight against the Red Army but the Government simply refused to countenance that. “The British had developed this highly secret chemical weapon called the M Device, which is like a shell with a canister of gas on the end. It was developed at Porton laboratories in Wiltshire and described by the head of munitions as the most devastating chemical weapon ever devised. It had been invented but not used. “Churchill’s idea was to use the M Device against the Russian Bolsheviks. 50,000 of them were taken up in planes and then dropped on the Bolshevik Red Army positions and Bolshevik controlled villages in Northern Russia between August and September 1918.” Milton, 47, illustrated Churchill’s commitment to the use of chemical weapons, explaining that he had also supported their use against rebellious tribes in North India. “What I found really shocking was when he wrote this internal memo to the India Office, along the lines of ‘we should use it against the tribes on the North West front. They’re really troublesome, let’s gas them.’ - @Wednesday, January 31, 2018 4:20 AM

Overhyped movie. He had more of a slur when he spoke and he spoke slower in the original speech. Winston Churchill's Actual Speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyoMp2JceOw&t=164s As a director or an actor, you are suppose to complete mimic completely based off real life documentaries the background and speech patterns. Churchill spoke slowly, not excitedly to build hype like a Hollywood film. - @Monday, January 22, 2018 10:29 PM
