The shape of water.
Saw this a few weeks ago before it won the best picture award. It was unusual and I still don't know what to make of it. Deaf woman falls in love with captured amphibian creature is kind of the gist of it. Visually it looked nice but there were token efforts touched on about racial hate and homosexuality that didn't really go anywhere and didn't make much difference to the film.

That piece is spot on. It really is amazing how history can be rewritten.

Pretty sure it's Gary Oldman who won the award not Churchill himself? Bruno Ganz won a few awards and probably should have won more for his portrayal of Hitler in Downfall!

And this is a film that perpetuates the myth of Churchill's heroism while doing nothing to highlight the atrocities he committed, something Oldman has been happy to go along with to gain awards and money.

Does it not just cover his war years ( not seen it) ? and not what went before/after ie gasing Iraqis/reluctant to let india go Surely the title would then be ' darkest hour (and the couple of hours before and a couple of hours after') ? which might not be the snappy marketing ploy they were looking for ? Churchill - the non racist years ?

I haven't seen it either, nor will I watch a film that pays tribute to a racist mass-murderer whose views were deemed foul and outrageous by members of the Conservative party. If there was a film knocking about the place claiming Hitler( I think Godwin's law is exempt here as the comparison is apt) there would be all sorts of groups up in arms about it. Rightly so too! But it seems Britain's favourite racist, the man who won a WW2 on his own, without even the slightest of help from anyone anywhere, must be cast in a golden hue of empire and nostalgia. History is written by the victors and the stories are then told by Hollywood, that is the issue.

It's not even a good film, have a feeling they just wanted Oldman to win the award.
