Subject: [ChurchillChat] Re: Churchill Film

I didn't know this film was in theaters until last week, while at the local 
metroplex to see something else.

Just ONCE--I'd like to have a film about Churchill that tells the truth about 
his life.   How could any Hollywood producer and/or screenwriter improve on 
WSC's actual life?!?   It had more drama than one could shake a stick at!!   
Good grief.

I made the mistake of going to the new Churchill film last night. While the 
producers made the point in the credits that the film was based on historical 
events but that scenes and dialogue had been made up, this was still an awful 
film that does a disservice to WSC. Roger Ebert's review which can be read 
here<http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/churchill-2017> is an accurate summation 
of many of the "issues" with the film.

What's most alarming to me is that a lot of people get their history from the 
movies and if they do in this case they will get a deeply flawed picture of 
Churchill. After watching the film the most sensible question to ask would be, 
why on earth would anyone have followed the Churchill portrayed in this film?

If you haven't already seen it, don't waste your money on it.
