Streep should give up acting in parts where she tries to slander anyone right of her fascist, progressive views. This movie is made by a lefty producer with a lefty cast so they can depict one of the most important people of our time. Too bad they can't find a better way to spend their useless time. What a boorish bunch of bitter bomb throwers. The New York Times and Time magazine like this film? Really! They are even worse people than Streep and Damian Jones.
This thread is about Meryl Streep's amazing acting and her almost miraculous impersonation of Margaret Thatcher. I do not believe it was intended as a discussion of Margaret Thatcher's politics.
I don't know about the movie being akin to hero worship. We shall have to see how accurately Thatcher is portrayed. So far, it's difficult to know because this extract is less than one minute long.
And don't forget that, for many British supporters of the Conservative party, Thatcher's denouement came after some years in power. The rest of the country had her pegged from the get-go.
...Not for nothing was the British Pound Coin known as a Thatcher ... it is because it was thick, brassy, and thought it was a sovereign.
And before anybody leaps on my back for criticizing her, I know what she was like because I lived in the UK for longer than her entire time as a member of Parliament.
I am from Hong Kong too, but I will never under any circumstances use words like 'bitch'.
If she did nothing we wouldn't have the One Country, Two Systems here. Because she insisted not to hand Hong Kong over for any price, Deng was forced to make a commitment not to turn Hong Kong into a socialist/politically communist place.
And, she changed the whole thinking from socialism to classical liberalism which fits human nature more.
@tamarexxe Re: thumbs down¡ Then you should shut your mouth then, Margaret Thatcher should be blame because she DID NOTHING. She is lady or a bitch, the history will tell. The most shameful thing I would like to told you is, you want to believe what you wanted to believe. Those documentaries I sent you proves everything and these were her demerits... And will not erase what she had done. I know more than you. she created and left a tradegy for HK people that last for 22 years!
@tamarexxe You the same, better learn about this Maggie Bitch what she does to the Hong Kong People. If she deserved to be praised in the film, I think Hilter will be the next to be praised as well. Glad she was fell off stairs when she was in Beijing People's Common Hall! She was a traitor.
@mahingshun Frankly, she did nothing to the people of Hong Kong. Great Britain should never have undertaken the oversee of Hong Kong and she rectified that situation. You show your complete lack of class by referring to a lady as a bitch. This may be acceptable behavior amongst the Chinese, but it is far from agreeable to the rest of us. She cannot be considered a traitor to a country in which she was not a citizen.
@tamarexxe Hong Kong's lease to the UK was for a period which always would end on schedule, as it did.
The only contribution Thatcher's government made was to include in the final return agreement the new status of Hong Kong as an administrative region separate from the rest of the PRC ... and those terms had been originally drafted more than 20 years prior to that. She herself did nothing but, as ever, was always ready to take credit for the good, even when there was none.
Here I vowed to boycott Meryl Streep's "The Iron Lady" for her ignorance to Equality. That film will NOT reserved the Best Film, and Meryl Streep will not win the Best Actress in OSCAR!
@mahingshun Firstly, your english is atrocious. Seeing that you clearly lack comprehension of the Queen's English, it won't do for you to criticize an tour de force acting performance that is based on it. Secondly, you are from Hong Kong. Spend some time criticizing your chinese Masters and there litany of crimes against humanity that goes back for decades and then you may reasonably attack Margaret Thatcher. Good Day
Is this movie going to show the part when Thatcher posed for pictures and expressed support towards Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet when he was prosecuted by the International Crime Court for crimes against humanity?
I'm Argentinean and absolutely love Meryl Streep. I think is perfect that the Falklands are part of the UK even if UK invented a war using the Dictators in Argentina as ally, to then have a reason to militarize the zone. Argentina was previously an Spanish colony and it's in a land that "pertained" to aborigines which were exterminated by "Spain/Argentina". It's no crime to steal from a thief. (el que le roba a un ladron tiene 100 años de perdon)
I was invited to a sneak preview of this movie : Meryl Streep's attempt to be Margaret Thatcher is absolutely pathetic Streep is a brilliant actress but THIS has to be her worse movie ever. Hopeless effort ...is there any international award for year's worse performance?Move to front Streep!
@Bluedolphingirl01 Judi Dench is more comparable to Katherine Hepburn - a massively popular person but no great shakes as an actress. Like Hepburn, she only ever plays herself.
Meryl Streep is incredible, no doubt about it, possibly the greatest living actress around. I just hope the film doesn't glorify Thatcher and the conservatives. As much as I love Meryl Streep, I don't think I'd be able to watch it if it did!
I'm the same but the reverse..if it turns out to be some kind of hatchet job from a left-wing loon's fantasy then I'll be very much disappointed..plus could damage Streep's chances for the Oscar she should surely get judging this 1 minute trailer.
Wow .. incredible I have to say. Never thought she'd nail it that good. It could have been Thatcher speaking - not to mention the look, the mannerisms, the whole deal. I knew she was good ... I just didn't appreciate she was this good. Streep better make some room in her trophy cupboard.
@steps1 Haha, "saved the UK"? Fair enough, the unions grip needed to be challenged. But selling off most of our nationalised industry for a knockdown price, has been disastrous in the long term...lining the pockets of rich B(w)ankers.
The poor got poorer and the rich got richer, if you think that's a positive thing, then fair enough..but I cant even begin to identify with someone who holds that point of view.
Well let's look at life under Labour when Thatcher took over: Winter of Discontent, Sick Man of Europe, rubbish piled on the streets, the Unions holding us all to ransom, going to the IMF with our begging bowls AND the dead not being buried..off the map! When she left, as Marr says, Britain was richer, stronger % more self-confident. Does a shiver not go up your spine thinking where we would be if we'd had Labour rule in 80s? I don't deny that some people didn't do well under Thatcher..continued
she made mistakes but that is the case with every PM. It's a fact that more mines were closed under Labour than under Thatcher & Major..it's also a fact that Thatcher's working class vote was very strong. Our politics was terminally ill when she took over. I don't think it's a positive thing at all but we've just had 13 years of Labour where social mobility went down and inequality grew!? Still, I thank you for not calling me a "turd" or rabidly asking for Thatcher to hurry up and die.
A movie about the IRON MAIDEN !?? God Help Us !!!!Mind you Meryl looks kinda sexy in this role unlike that sag tit witch who she portrays...................
Its amazing to me that I can still watch someone I have been watching in movies my whole life (almost 40 years old!), and not see the actress. I only see the character.
@attrcted2sin Is not because she's Meryl Streep! I mean, did you see this trailer? Did you see this 13 or 14 seconds where she appear and she's completly transform in MT? And not just in makeup o dressing. She IS MT! That's what amaze me! How she become MT in every single aspect. I know this are few seconds, but this just make me can't wait for the movie where I know she would be (once again) AMAZING. And yes I want her to win it because I really think she deserves it since only God know when!
Boooooooooo! Down with Thatcher...cant believe they made a movie thats going to make the Americans like that monster. (extra boos for stealing the Moon music too)
Ha! Magnificent. Sometimes I get why actors make the big bucks. Could the voice be any more perfect? Let's hope Meryl's immersion in the Thatcher persona teaches her something. Maggie Maximus.
LOL at ScattySafari... Britain became an economic power, BUT WHERE ARE WE NOW!? don't you realise that the current mess the UK and the USA are in is because of the economic liberal policies of Thatcher and Reagan? she may have improved our economy, but with hindsight, it doesn't matter now.
I would like to see this movie, but I hope they show how she lost power, as she thought she was bigger than the country and we the people kicked her out.p.s yes she did do great at the beginning.
@alexandertory Well you say she won she election 18 months prior and you would be right. But her party kicked her out because the people of the country, was not happy so it was that or the party would have been in trouble. As to your age you would not remember all the trouble with Scotland then Wales and finally England, when she brought back the poll TAX ask your parents they might remember, that's when John Major took over. So yes the people did get her removed mate!!!!!!!
@BarrieMitchell Firstly, I do know exactly what happened in the 1980s my age does not make me ignorant of those events I probably actually know more about Thatcher and the decade of her power better than you... No the people didn't kick her out, it was soley the party, yes she did increasingly become unpopular but it was the party that soley removed her from office. To make one final point it was not the poll tax scots or welsh that finished her off... it was her anti european stance actually.
@ZAMPAROAD If you look I say she was becoming unpopular.... especially with middle england....do ur research, it was the anti European stance which caused geoffery howe and Nigel lawson to resign out of cabinet over europe as they felt she was alienating us which promted helstletine to stand against her for the leadership! those were the events those are the facts....
Brits don't realize how much Americans admired Thatcher in the 1980s. I realize Brits don't think that highly of her. But I think she still remains popular with Americans that were alive in the 80s and 90s. Probably why they made this movie--- they know Americans like seeing Thatcher.
The top half shown of "The lady is not for turning" is OK but I wish we were able to see her bottom half showing her Jackboots and "The Handbag" Otherwise carry on Meryl!
MERYL STREEP: BEST ACTRESS EVER! MERYL STREEP: BEST LEADING ACTRESS 2012! If Meryl Streep does not win the Oscar for "Best Leading Actress" would be one more enormous fail for the academy for not giving the Oscar for the real person who deserves it.
@seb389 If that is what you think then good for you! :) I'm rewarding her already cause I have no doubt she would be AMAZING like in every single movie of her... Meryl Streep have the talent and the compromise of doing an INCREDIBLE job every single time... That's why I know she deserves an Oscar (and since quite a long time...)
It says January 2012, I hope it runs in L.A. and N.Y before 2011 ends in order for the film and her performance to qualify for this coming year's Academy Awards'; if they wait til early, early 2012 it might get overlooked.
Nice but one has to remember one vital thing about Thatcher: she had NO SENSE OF HUMOUR WHATSOEVER. i know: it seems inhuman but it's quite common: lots of people have no capacity for wit or laughter or irony AT ALL.
Holllllllllyyyyy Shit............Meryl Streep is scary as Thatcher. This Oscar is hers already, no other actress is gonna top this. She looks and sounds just like her. Frightening.
As much as I love Meryl Streep (alot), I really think Glenn Close is going to take best actress (never thought I would say that), but her performance in Albert Nobbs is stellar.

Ha! Magnificent. Sometimes I get why actors make the big bucks. Could the voice be any more perfect? Let's hope Meryl's immersion in the Thatcher persona teaches her something. Maggie Maximus.

LOL at ScattySafari... Britain became an economic power, BUT WHERE ARE WE NOW!? don't you realise that the current mess the UK and the USA are in is because of the economic liberal policies of Thatcher and Reagan? she may have improved our economy, but with hindsight, it doesn't matter now.

I would like to see this movie, but I hope they show how she lost power, as she thought she was bigger than the country and we the people kicked her out.p.s yes she did do great at the beginning.

@BarrieMitchell the people never kicked her out,, the party did.. she had won the general election 18 months prior to the party removing her
alexandertory 7 months ago
@alexandertory Well you say she won she election 18 months prior and you would be right. But her party kicked her out because the people of the country, was not happy so it was that or the party would have been in trouble. As to your age you would not remember all the trouble with Scotland then Wales and finally England, when she brought back the poll TAX ask your parents they might remember, that's when John Major took over. So yes the people did get her removed mate!!!!!!!

@BarrieMitchell Firstly, I do know exactly what happened in the 1980s my age does not make me ignorant of those events I probably actually know more about Thatcher and the decade of her power better than you... No the people didn't kick her out, it was soley the party, yes she did increasingly become unpopular but it was the party that soley removed her from office. To make one final point it was not the poll tax scots or welsh that finished her off... it was her anti european stance actually.

@alexandertory what are you talking about? why did they kick her out??? becouse she was so unpopular and they knew she was becoming a liability
ZAMPAROAD 7 months ago
@ZAMPAROAD If you look I say she was becoming unpopular.... especially with middle england....do ur research, it was the anti European stance which caused geoffery howe and Nigel lawson to resign out of cabinet over europe as they felt she was alienating us which promted helstletine to stand against her for the leadership! those were the events those are the facts....

Brits don't realize how much Americans admired Thatcher in the 1980s. I realize Brits don't think that highly of her. But I think she still remains popular with Americans that were alive in the 80s and 90s. Probably why they made this movie--- they know Americans like seeing Thatcher.

@lancetop Luckily the Americans didn't have to live under her. They worship her from ignorance and they're all the happier for that :-)

MERYL STREEP: BEST ACTRESS EVER! MERYL STREEP: BEST LEADING ACTRESS 2012! If Meryl Streep does not win the Oscar for "Best Leading Actress" would be one more enormous fail for the academy for not giving the Oscar for the real person who deserves it.

You haven't even watched the movie! I love MS but she 'd think you have to be an idiot to reward someone before seeing the performance.

@seb389 If that is what you think then good for you! :) I'm rewarding her already cause I have no doubt she would be AMAZING like in every single movie of her... Meryl Streep have the talent and the compromise of doing an INCREDIBLE job every single time... That's why I know she deserves an Oscar (and since quite a long time...)

It says January 2012, I hope it runs in L.A. and N.Y before 2011 ends in order for the film and her performance to qualify for this coming year's Academy Awards'; if they wait til early, early 2012 it might get overlooked.

Nice but one has to remember one vital thing about Thatcher: she had NO SENSE OF HUMOUR WHATSOEVER. i know: it seems inhuman but it's quite common: lots of people have no capacity for wit or laughter or irony AT ALL.
