Was in London and was able to watch the movie just after visiting the The War Rooms. Oldman did a fantastic job playing Churchill and I thought the movie did a great job portraying the importance of not only Churchill but Great Britain's responsibility in not allowing Hitler to take over Europe. Great Film and Great Job playing a brilliant man.
God dam!! Can't we just get an interviewer who doesn't have to bring the discussion around to some negative or political agenda. I mean I know they are talking about a movie of a one of the men who was responsible for winning one of the biggest most important political situations in modern history, but what the he'll does sexual assault and Harvey Weinstein have to do with it. I swear the media's illusion of respect for art and the artist is disgraceful, they just want to catch him in a compromising situation. The interview is about the film and the craft it took to make it, but all they want is blood and guts. I blame the public, because that's what sells and that's what the public wants to hear about. God forbid we just talk about the mans craft and what it takes to portray someone that well, especially someone who was that important to the survival of the human race as we know it.
Gary Oldman deserves the Oscar. Saw the movie it was amazing. Good that Churchill was a conservative and was right about history at that time . Oldman is also a conservative and will win the Oscar as well. Job well done Gary
Who is this interviewer? She consistently tries to move this conversation to today’s issues. Stop it! Gary Oldman portrayed one of his best performances of a great man during perilous times. Period.
I feel like the interview derailed halfway through.... What was the point of bringing up Winestien? I wanted to hear more about the movie, also about how Gary had to freshen up his British accent after living in the states for so long.
"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." - W.Churchill
Wow a lot of angry Trump supporters on here, maybe if they spend less time online and more time going out in the real world they would chill out a bit.
Yuck trying to connect, and thus compare, the trivial and meaningless political squabbles of today...with the authentic struggles of Churchill's time. For shame

What saved England was not Churchill, but the Channel!
Sorry Oldman's Churchill was the poorest portrayal of the Prime Minister in the last few decades and he came across like a befuddled Winnie the Pooh than the legendary British leader. But it was the film horrific editing that was the problem and they either lost a lot of his footage or turned over to a High School AV Club to finish. Indeed he rarely did an entire monologue or scene without so clumsy cutaway to another actor and they often looked more like a still photo than part of a sequence in a film...
