The King here realized finally what Chuchill felt all along--you cannot reason with a tiger, and peace would be a mistake. There is no peace with Germany, not with that man leading. You cannot reason with a psychopath hell belt on dominating all that's in its view, they can only be stopped, by greater force.
I love how they shot this scene with the one stark light bulb and zero fill lighting. It really served to equalize the two characters and showed the raw desparation of the moment historically.
King George saved the world in this moment. There were many other moments, but this was the darkest moment of the darkest hr of the darkest day, and he had the leadership, kindness, vision and guts to rouse Mr Churchill back to his magic level
Excellent film. Excellent portrayal of a very difficult time in British history. The appeasement movement did have a lot of support, Britain was alone, and Churchill is only proven right in the hindsight of history. No one had a crystal ball at the time.
