[Movie] The classic composition of Winston-Churchil (the man who saved the world from Hitler)


Roughly speaking

  1. Now that dark clouds are rising across the world, we look at the famous British Prime Minister.
  2. Winston-Churchill and the last lifeline of Europe, the UK's withdrawal from Dunkirk.
  3. A great movie has a wonderful composition from start to finish. Churchill's acting is much better.


Dark clouds rise to the world


The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a growing US-China conflict and the bloc economy.


As is also clearly stated in the Intuitive Methods of Modern Economics introduced in the previous article, the previous World War II took military action, when Germany and Japan were forced into the bloc economy.


Looking at the economy of the United States and China, although they are not as pushed as in Germany and Japan last time, there is a possibility that a war of aggression could arise even with factors other than the economy.


In the modern world, order is relatively stable, so it seems that public opinion still has the feeling that a war would never happen, but the invaders are aiming to make this illusion all the way to the fullest.


However, in the last war, Britain halted German invasion. It was Churchill's UK that pushed Germany back from its disadvantageous situation, which had almost reached the point of landing on London.


However, in the early days, many British people also wanted peace negotiations against Germany. Many people were saying that surrender was unavoidable.



Dunkirk



The withdrawal of Dunkirk refers to the battle between May 24th and June 4th, 1940, in which 300,000 British Army (almost all the British Army's troops) were retreated from Dunkirk, France to the mainland of Britain.


If Britain had been destroyed by the Army at Dunkirk timing, it is likely that the Germans would have successfully landed the British, and Europe would have all belonged to Germany.


In this case, it is likely that the world order was not the liberal world it is today.


Before this Dunkirk, the Germans showed no invasion at all, from the victory in September 1939 to the invasion of Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg in May 1940.


Later this period is called the "Antique War." France and Britain were thinking of negotiating peace with Germany to restore peace and security.


France and Britain, which had been dominated by Germany, were beautifully deceived by Hitler.


In May 1940, Churchill, a stray man who was suddenly appointed British Prime Minister, insisted on a thorough fight against Germany, but Parliament wanted peace talks.


As Churchill eventually reports that the situation worsens, he loses confidence in fighting thoroughly.


Even if he overcame the opposition from those around him, Dunkirk was the operation to rescue the British Army, which had been isolated in France, in preparation for the final hope.



Name structure


Famous films are bound to have a name composition.


In films that deal with politics and history, it is often the case that the viewer has no background knowledge.


Furthermore, there tends to be less flashy action. You have to stir your emotions with dialogue and acting.


However, this film was an Academy Award-winning film in 2018. All of the above problems are resolved.


The background knowledge issue is that Churchill has hired a new typewriter secretary, and the secretary is clearly represented in an explanation of Churchill's situation. The process by which the speech is made is also designed to allow you to see the emotional exchanges with Churchill. The audience watching can also be viewed properly if they empathize with the secretary. This was spectacular.


The dialogue and acting part. This is simply because Gary Oldman, the actor who plays Churchill, is just too good. It almost looked like Churchill. He plays a wonderfully stray person. His acting when he was pushed hard was also impressive.


You can watch it on Netflix, so if you're interested, please take a look.


If you would like to know how to write famous films, we recommend the following book: Miyake Ryuta, who has seen the scripts of various films from the perspective of a script doctor (a doctor who wrote the script), clearly explains the good scripts of the film. It can also be used to help you create a good presentation, or to learn more about the film like I did.
