The Crown | The Queen Challenges Margaret Thatcher

[Ernie]

Gillian Anderson won that bloody Emmy for every bloody second of her performance as Margaret Thatcher. She was just mindblowing!

[axlslak]

Damn. The voice, the intonation. Gillian absolutely killed it.

[lydiatingey]

Gillian Anderson in my unpopular opinion here did a better job at playing Margaret, Thatcher than did Meryl Streep look I love Meryl Streep I love what she’s done in this industry. I think she deserves her career entirely and the success that it gave her, but Gillian Anderson. Really took this role by the rains. There were moments where you could feel the secondhand embarrassment for this person she was playing you could see what she wanted just by her facial expressions and I feel like Meryl Streep’s performance was very one-sided while Gillian performance was her kind of showing different way that Margaret behaved to different people you know there’s a saying that’s like you’re emotions are valid, but your actions aren’t and it’s like Gillian showed the emotion and then the executed action and the behavioral change in the different people that had to put up with the actions created by her emotions and thoughts. While Meryl Streep was simply just trying to portray the character in the way, the media saw her and the people around her, viewed her and that’s very different because while it was still good, it doesn’t show the behavior of it. That’s created by emotions and driven determination that can often lead to a persons demise.

“…….Of course”

The DELIVERY

[dougt]

These two actors pull you into the room and hold you there until the final curtsy. Brava to both Ms. Anderson and Ms. Colman.

[NoName-hgcc]

"Who is the senior?"
"I am"
"And who do you think will outlive the other?"
"..."

[Nunov]

This is simply a masterclass in acting by two superb actresses, truly incredible job ✌️

[Jayfive]

As someone who in the 90s, like many chaps my age, had a poster of Gillian Anderson in a revealing outfit on their wall this stirs up some confusing feelings.

"No one remembers the Good Samaritan if he only had good intentions, he had money as well"

Damn, that's cold blooded

[dihboas]

that pause before "I am... Ma'am" was everything, it was almost like she was trying to say "so listen to me little girl..." 🤣 Gillian ATE this role

[shao]

You can’t see Agent Scully here, not even one bit. That’s a mark of a good actor, defined by the role, not by their own image.

[sprague]

Gillian Anderson channeled her inner Iron Lady to perfection. After the director yelled "Cut!", I'm sure even Olivia Coleman shouted "Bravo!"

[MultiMrsmurf]

Love the final bit about her sons business in South Africa, as if to say “this ain’t personal… trust me…

[anthonyviteri]

I always admired the way the British talk.

[xaviersimon]

Now this is how you read a person with class and witt! The Brits sure know how to go for the juggler with words!

[aileanbreac]

My God, if you turn away and listen it sends shivers through you . Like hearing Maggie in person.

[connarcomstock]

The parallel being drawn here with Winston is uncanny. It's like poetry, it rhymes.

[markmiller]

The queen's eye roll at 0:26 always makes me chuckle. It's like she's thinking, "what now?".

[mistertea]

It's that dissmisal of the 'really?' That gets me...she was just saying she likes the Queens compassion because it's the right thing to say.

[roygo]

Gillian Anderson's incredible acting blew me away.
