Udało się, wreszcie puściłam sobie film, który uznałam za lekki, a zarazem ciekawy. Efekt był taki, że nie byłam w stanie oderwać od niego wzroku, więc nie leciał on jako tło do robienia czegoś innego, tylko był prawdziwie i z zainteresowaniem obejrzanym przeze mnie filmem. > It worked, I finally put on a movie I found light and yet interesting. The result was that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it, so it wasn't…More
Joe Wright owes much of his reputation as one of today’s foremost British filmmakers to his 2007 film *Atonement*, which is now less remembered for the role of his muse Keira Knightley and more for the exceptionally striking scene depicting the chaos on the beaches of Dunkirk during the famous Allied evacuation at the start of the Second World War. Wright’s film, however, is no longer the most renowned depiction of…More

Source # Happy Monday y'all! > # ¡Feliz lunes para todos! . This week's contest did take me by surprise, actually I'm not very political in any sense, it's not of my interest at all, nothing that has to do with politics catches my attention but I did remember one of the movies that I saw during 2017 that caught my attention and was chosen for this contest. > El concurso de esta semana si me tomó por sorpresa, en rea…More
"Darkest Hour" by Joe Wright - a picture of how Winston Churchill, at the head of the British government, in 1940 made the decision to evacuate the Allied forces from Dunkirk. In my opinion, the main success of this historically accurate and traditional biopic is the work of Gary Oldman, who brilliantly reincarnated as a British premier (the actor already received the "Golden Globe" for this role). Six months after…More
Oration in movies is often used as an emotion-triggering device, and Darkest Hour is a film in which speech dominates, becoming the foundation of the path. It makes sense, considering the latest work of Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Anna Karenina) tells the figure of Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) who is known as a reliable orator. No one can string words as well as he does. At least according to th…More
Source If a movie is not good, if I don’t like it, if it doesn’t catch me, my body reacts: I fall asleep, I stop paying attention, I get up and go to the kitchen... I have to see a lot of movies because of my work as a scriptwriter, but, damn! There are movies that take me up to 6 days to see, bit by bit. That was not the case with Darkest Hour, the extraordinary film directed by Joe Wright, with a script by Anthony…More
Fuente Si una película no es buena, no me gusta, no me atrapa, mi cuerpo reacciona: me duermo, dejo de prestarle atención, me levanto y voy a la cocina… Tengo que ver mucho cine por mi trabajo como guionista, pero ¡carajo!, hay películas que me tardo hasta 6 días en ver, pedacito a pedacito. No fue ese el caso con Darkest Hour, el extraordinario filme dirigido por Joe Wright, con guión de Anthony McCarten, que recog…More
He Mobilized the English Language and Sent it to War Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill is the not the actor I would have expected to play this role. But he fully plays and is Winston Church. I am going to cut right to the chase, Darkest Hour needs to win the Oscar for best make-up. What they did to turn Oldman into Churchill is a work of art. What Oldman and the script do shows Churchill has humerou…More

Darkest Hour is set during an extremely stressful time in British history: when the Nazis were at their most powerful, rolling through Europe and threatening the United Kingdom's very existence. It focuses on Winston Churchill's (Gary Oldman) role in that military reality and the courage he found to stand by his core beliefs against all odds. Although it's set during wartime, no violence is shown beyond a bit of blo…More
If you don't know anything about history like me, I would recommend seeing the movie Dunkirk before seeing this film. Trust me, you'll see why! I've only seen Gary Oldman in a hand full of films and he's always played the antagonist. My goodness, he played the antagonist so well, you loved to hate him. Now the tables have been turned! My first time ever seeing Gary in a lead role and he absolutely KILLED IT! Definit…More
