neutral · AI labelView post →> The video was a clip from the 2017 film Darkest Hour about Winston Churchill during World War II, and has Gary Oldman playing Churchill shouting, “You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth!” Oldman’s character was talking about Hitler in the scene, but the department’s clip followed the line with techno music over a montage of President Trump, implying that he’s the tiger. The post carried the tagline, “No one does it like us,” followed by a tiger emoji. They'll say they…

neutral · AI labelView post →Anthony Maras’ PRESSURE (2026) is a terrific little film, especially if you’re a WWII history buff. It’d make a helluva triple feature with Nolan’s DUNKIRK and Wright’s DARKEST HOUR. Highly recommended. @thedigitalbits.bsky.social @focusfeatures.bsky.social

neutral · AI labelView post →Final thoughts: Darkest Hour may have taken a few historical liberties in its depiction of Winston Churchill in May 1940, but it still a moving film. Director Joe Wright moves the picture along nicely, aided by a stellar cast. But Gary Oldman's Oscar winning performance makes it a winner. #hatm

It made me cry multiple times and gave me a deep appreciation for our European leaders—the immense pressure they must be under right now is unimaginable. Also, America was totally unhelpful in that film as well (it takes place when the US adopted neutrality).

neutral · AI labelView post →watched ‘Darkest Hour’ the Churchill bio pic for the first time and it was very interesting how history sees those in power who wanted to capitulate to Hitler & try & do a deal with him & accept his likely invasion of Britain rather than fight his tyranny. It wasn’t a good look. Great film btw
positive · AI labelView post →That scene in The Darkest Hour movie, where Churchill rides the subway and asks the same question to the passengers. They start yelling Fight, we will never give up! Churchill was fighting an uphill battle in 1939. Then, he went forward and won the war. That's how I feel. Ready for the fight. !
positive · AI labelView post →I guarantee the morons that were responsible for that post had no idea that clip was from the movie "Darkest Hour" and that the actor Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill was talking about Hitler. These people are incredibly ignorant as well as incompetent.

neutral · AI labelView post →Those interested in the cultural history of the Second World War will not be surprised that the BBC’s ‘VE Day film’ is ‘Darkest Hour’, a film about the British decision to keep fighting in 1940. It has the advantage of showing no Nazis, Americans, Russians or indeed violence much less death
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes. I never realized until I saw the movie The Darkest Hour (highly recommend) that Churchill actually single handedly saved the free world from Hitler.

neutral · AI labelView post →There’s a chilling moment in the film The Darkest Hour when Lord Halifax, who wants to make a deal with Hitler, tells Churchill, who wants to defeat Hitler, “Europe is lost!” If these midterms are not carried out peacefully & the results respected, Europe will be saying “America is lost.”

neutral · AI labelView post →Seems like most of the “thought leaders”, pundits, and D politicians in this country need to rewatch Darkest Hour and ask themselves which characters they are acting the most like right now. Because it’s almost certainly none of the heroes. It’s on Netflix atm.

neutral · AI labelView post →Any good movie recs for a time like this? I just watched “Darkest Hour” — about WW2 when it seemed the British Army was about to be wiped out at Dunkirk as Hitler was taking France, some Brits wanted to give in, and the US was sitting back. Good to be reminded the world has come back from worse.
positive · AI labelView post →In a now-deleted social media post, the U.S. Department of Education shared a clip from the 2017 film 'Darkest Hour' in which Winston Churchill, played by Gary Oldman, refers to Nazi Germany as "a tiger." Without analyzing the reference, the department edited the video to portray Trump as the tiger.

And it's no secret in France much of the Resistance were peasants while top tiers of society typically collaborated. In part because upper classes

neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, I’m not sure what the category is for a movie like LINCOLN or DARKEST HOUR that does a detailed fictional take on a specific episode in the life of a famous person. LINCOLN is more a biopic about the Thirteenth Amendment than it is about Lincoln per se.

neutral · AI labelView post →Movie review. Darkest Hour with Gary Oldman. Very understated biopic of Churchill. His abilities and influence were alluded to, not spelled out. I would like a movie exploring how Churchill handled the group think regarding strategy in regard to Dunkirk. And how was it the military and politicians were so naive regarding the psychology of people like Hitler and Mussolini. Gary Oldman was really good. 3.5 stars

positive · AI labelView post →I’m currently watching a 2017 film DARKEST HOUR about how in WW2 Churchill almost sued for peace ✌️ plus the truth about the infamous V sign … But he didn’t give up against the tyranny of Hitler anymore than we can give up against the tyranny of a rapist & his pals MAGA’s be damned 😡 #StayStrong
positive · AI labelView post →Watching ‘The Darkest Hour’ on BBC2 at the moment. Very timely, as Churchill is being put under pressure to allow Italy to broker peace talks with Germany, and then gets on the phone asking Roosevelt for help that isn’t forthcoming. (I didn’t think it was a good film, but it’s relevant now!)
neutral · AI labelView post →I always think of the scene in the movie The Darkest Hour where Churchill yells at them “you don’t get it!!! He will never stop!!” They threw Hitler Poland, and of course, it wasn’t enough!
