剧情介绍
Just weeks after VE day, Britain's great war leader Winston Churchill found himself in another battle: to be elected Prime Minister. He was confident of victory – just reward for his leadership of the country through the dark days of WWII. But what happened next many still can’t understand. In one of the greatest election defeats of all time, Churchill was humiliated at the polls, and his Conservative party almost annihilated. Why did his countrymen turn so vehemently on their Great British Bulldog? Was the rejection of Churchill a disgraceful mark of ingratitude or the most mature electoral decision ever made by a democracy?
With surprising revelations from first-hand witnesses as well as historians including Sir Max Hastings, Juliet Gardiner, Anthony Beevor and writer Dave Douglas, this film looks at Churchill’s controversial legacy - and debates the weaknesses as well as the strengths of the man.

'He was the man of the hour, but not before then and not after then.' -Juliet Gardiner. Max Hastings 說得對啊,是應該'de-mythologising'。。。John Charmley 很有意思。。Prof Vernon Bogdanor 有個lecture叫 The Legacy of Winston Churchill,講得很好,有興趣的也可以看看哦。。

几乎是带着同情之理解吐槽了丘吉尔一个小时……很多有趣的细节,相信自己的功勋威望、相信战前/战时的体制、看不到伴随二战而来的大量普通人对新生活的渴望,诸如此类,让我觉得丘吉尔和同一时期的斯大林简直是双生兄弟……从这个意义上讲,他被选下去,不仅是英国之福,恐怕更是他自己之福。
