Welcome to another edition of Beckner and Lipscomb at the Movies!

In this episode we review the film Darkest Hour (2017) and explore both the history and the meaning behind it.

It is very popular among certain political persusions to hate and disregard Churchill. As this movie points out – he actually was not the most likeable guy in the room. But is a total disregard warranted? What if the whole of western civilization and its fate actually were to come down to one man – and his obstant perserverence? Many suggest that this was the case with Churchill – and that in Englands darkest moment of confusion, weakness, and lack of leadership – one man stood against an arguable tide of darkness.

Please watch our review – and listen to the speech and the review of his life and history that we have included – and then research for your self if the ‘great man of history’ theory is true or not – at least in the case of Winston Churchill.
