HIT US UP:

[pschlute]

"if this island's history is to end it will be us all choking on our own blood". This is what we want from a leader.

[michael]

I love when he says “that man” like he’d rather jump of a building that actually utter the words “Adolf Hitler”.

[evanhutchison]

"The Swastika flying over, over Buckingham Palace! Over Windsor! And draped on these very buildings!." "Never! Never!" literal goosebumps.

[scoobyDoo]

As an American, I’ve always been inspired by Winston Churchill’s incredible courage in the face of overwhelming odds. He saved the free world.

[RedwingCaniac]

The thought of the swastika flying on Buckingham Palace, Windsor, or Parliament is an incredibly powerful image. A nightmare that almost came true

[glitch]

“A government set up under, under Mosley or some such person!”

Everyone in the room: Oh hell no!

[GrayNeko]

Here's why I respect and admire Churchill so much. He never once sugar-coated what was happening. He told his people the truth. This is why, in my humble opinion, the British people rallied to him the way they did.

[MariaSandraC]

This was a brilliant scene. Second to the final "we shall fight on the beaches" speech scene after this. Gary Oldman was phenomenal. I got goosebumps watching this. Intense and brilliant.

[viperhead]

"NEVER! NEVER!" Man, the chills...

[VtRD]

that man." Says it all. Never Give Up.

[digglyda]

Then out spake brave Horatius,
the captain of the gate,
to every man upon this Earth,
death cometh soon or late,
and how can man die better,
than facing fearful odds,
for the ashes of his fathers,
and the temples of his gods.

[TraustiGeir]

I could actually feel the weight of the words as he spoke them.

We all know the outcome now, but back then, the British had been forced into a corner and indeed faced the possibility of an invasion by German forces. This was not an easy decision to make, but it was the right one.

[c.h.]

And to think people wanted to destroy his statue in London

[youngrozay]

“A question I now put to you… where should we be at the end of all that?”

Complete silence and the entire room imagining their homeland controlled by the Krauts. What an amazing scene.

[kaustshroff]

I'm reading, The Last Lion, Winston Churchill.
Truly a chilling book. The courage this man had is truly profounding and mysterious in face of utter destruction and death.

[planetdisco]

As an Australian, I appreciate that they took a moment in this movie for Churchill to acknowledge and express his remorse for Gallipolli. A great film! Oldman is brilliant…

[starwarfan]

A lot of these guys were WW1 vets. "Choking on their own blood upon the ground" wasn't just a phrase of rhetoric for them. It was as real as anything else.

[eagleowl]

I love how when he suggested that Hitler would put Ozwald Mossley in charge of Britain everyone suddenly joined Winston side repeating "no no no no no"

[KevinOrePflucker]

If this long island story of ours is to end at last, then let it end only when each one of us lies choking in his own blood upon the ground

[caractacusbrittania]

A magnificent human being
At times flawed....at times wrong
the very nature of human civilisation was in the balance....Winston. ....with his
Courage and foresight strode the world's colossus
And the world was so very lucky to
Have him at precisely the right time.
